Today is an anniversary-Me-
mortal Day, of course, that can
never be forgotten-but this year
May 80 also is the first anniver-
sary of the Women's War Saving
Staff of the District of Columbia.
One year ago Mrs. Harry Weis-
singer OF the American Womens
Voluntary Services. at the request
of the Motion Picture Industry of
the District. on notice of only
two days. set up and stated the
first booths to sell War bonds
and stamps in downtown thea
ters-six in number.
This was intended only as a one
weeks enterprise, but it went over
the top so successfully that the
time was indefinitely extended.
Other theaterS, stores and Office

and under the supervision of Mrs.
Weissinger booths in many down.
town and neighborhood theaters
and stores were soon in operation.
Today, the first year completed,
Mrs. Weissinger reports sales of
more than S5,000,000 worth of
stamps and bonds sold through
the Women's War Savings Staff
of the AWVS. with rs booths in
active operation stated by some
700 women.
This is only part of Mrs.
Weissingers story, for last Janu-
ary the Treasury asked Mrs.
Weissinger to manage all the
booths in the District, so, in addi-
ton to the AWVS work she is in
charge of other booths whose
sales together with those of the
AWVS far exceed $5,OO0,OOO The
whole record is not yet complete,
but it is one to be proud of.
The story is not only of dollars
and cents, it is one of devoted
hard work and sacrifice, a fabric
of endeavor woven by hundreds of
women eager to give their time to
help the war effort. The pattern
is set and directed by Mrs. Weis-
singer, a fair, fragile looking
woman, whose long hours of hard
work seem never to ruff1e the
bandbox perfection of her groom
