All except the 10 were ordered to report later at the playing field.
 The 10 at headquarters found there the necessary food, together with paper cups, containers, plates, forks, and spoons that are kept req dy for actual emergencies.

CALL TOOK MEMBERS BY SURPRISE


 BY SURPRISE
 The women went at their duties with zest. They prepared the meal quickly and packed the whole busi- ness into heavy pots and vacuum containers which they lugged onto their mobile canteen trucks with their own muscle.
 Arriving at the high school play ing field, they set up the emergen- cy tables which they had also brought, and prepared to serve the meal.
 Meanwhile the rest of the 160 mo- bilized were appearing, some in their cars, others puffing up the long hill from the nearest transit station They stood by as observers, but pre- pared to help if necessary.
 Many of the women who respond ed had been caught in the midst of some household job. One was serv- ing breakfast to her family, finished this, but left without breakfast her. self. Another was notified by one of her children while in the midst of shopping tour, abandoned her shopping and went home to don her uniform and hasten to the "disass ter'' scene.
 The feeding was handled quickly and efficiently. In case of extended emergency, the Queens Chapter is prepared to continue disaster meals for two days or two weeks, depending on how soon refugees could return to their homes or how soon authorities could make perma- nent arrangements.
