URBAN LEAGUE NOTES
MrA sayr. Leave.

The league regrets to announce that
Mrs. Sayre, who has been connected
with the employment department for
about two years. is leaving. Mrs,
Ssyre, before coming to the league
was a volunteer war worker with the
Red Cross. When the war cIcsed she
felt that there would be other work
for woman to do who had beer
making bandages and doing eanteer
service and other work of the RED
Cross. She organized. therefore, the
u. s. Club, a group of women Will
no effort or purpose to raise money
for the purpose of their own organi.
zation, but merely to be of service In
postwar needs. One of the first Of
these postwar needs to come to the
attention of the u. S. Club was the
Soldiers and Sailors Club. These
ladies helped to raise money to es.
tablish this club. which later became
the Community house at 320l South
Wabash avenue. and Mrs. .Sayre be-
gan work at the Community House
The Urban League in the meantime
had succeeded in introducing into
Montgomery Ward & Company a
number Of colored girls to do clerical
and stenographic work. A welfare
worker was thought desirable at the
branch where these girls were en-
ployed. Mrs. Sayre was recommended
for that position and served there
with great success. The officials OF
che company wrote a letter to the
league IN which they testified their ap-
probation Of her services and their
regret that the business depression
forced them to close the unit in which
Mrs. Sayre was working. From Mont
gomery Ward & Company she came
to the Urban League aud has worked
IN the employment department in the
placement of women and girls until
now. Mrs. Sayre goes to another big
industrial establishment where her
services are needed to care for the
working conditions of about $50 col
ored women employees. The Urban
League regrets her going. but feels
complimenteG that when such a per-
son was desired the Urban League
had the privilege of furnishing her.
Mrs Sayre has the respect and affec-
ton of the members of the staff and
the many friends she made while
working with the league.
