MISS BARBARA VICKERY 4
By Betty Smith.

It isn't written about or even
talked about very much-the
Planning Committee Of the

tant part of the whole setup
that the YWCA-USo staff never
decides to 60 ahead with a pro-
gram without first submitting It
for approval to the Planning
Committee"
= The reason? Well, for one
thing, the members of the COM
mittee. are all young people them
selves-servicemen from each
branch of. the. service and girls.
from each of the war agencies
and they are a cross-section Of all
the servicefnen and women and
Government workers for whom
the USO parties and programs
are planned. So who could know
better what these young people
want than a small group repre-
sentative Of the young people
themselves?
Once q month the committee
meets, either at the home of one
of the girls who Is a member or
at the home .of Miss, Elsa Peter

little planning for itself and
