club for Services
Holds Fall Meet
|And Hears RebOrts

An urgent need for workers at the
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Club
was emphasized yesterday by Mrs.
Allan Hanstein in an appeal for
volunteers at the fall meeting of
the club. Her report, which urged
women to assist on morning and
night shifts, was among several
given. Business included the elec-
ton of Mrs. Smith Hempstone, sister
of the president, Mrs. Luther Shell
don, jr., to the Office of vice presi-
dent, and the reelection of Mrs.
William Dryden as an executive
member for the Army.
Mrs. Richard M. Hoffman, execu-
tive bookkeeper, gave a humorous
account of the human side of the
business office and of the problems
in keeping servants. She declared
that any domestic who has been
here six months is considered an
old family retainer"
The executive secretary, Mrs
BrantZ Mayer, told of the appreci-
alton Of the men served by the club
Citing an example of the amusing
incidents which occur daily at the
club, Mrs. Mayer told how girl
telephoned the club and asked, "Can
you locate sailor for me? I don't
know his name but he's an awfully
cute fellow"
Mrs. Hempstone was nominated to
the vice presidency by Mrs. Sheldon
Mrs. George Marshall made the
move for her election after telling
members that Mrs. Hempstone is
particularly suited to the Office be-
cause her heart is in it," Mrs
William D. Connor also paid tribute
to the new vice president.
Mrs. Sheldon reported that the
Seeing-Is-B Believing Tour of the
building in August for the promo
ton OF the Community War Fund
was a great success. She compared
the management of the club as SIM
liar to that of small hotel. The
president warned there will be q
continued increase of returned
wounded and stressed - the i'm.
portance Of dealing wisely anc
gently with them. She concluded
with a note of thanks for "ths
splendid loyalty of the staff, EN-.
ployes and Jangos.
Mrs. Sheldon announced her de.
parture shortly for Norfolk, where
her husband, Rear Admiral Sheldon
has been transferred for duty. Sh,
assured members, however, that sh,
would carry on the work by remote
control"
The meeting was opened with a
new prayer in keeping with the
times composed by Mrs. Hempstone

By the Way
Beth Blaine

The British surgical dressings
unit of the District of Columbia
Chapter of the Red Cross was
one of the first to begin work
here and one of the two units
which meets regularly twice
every week at the Walsh House.
Last summer there was a
shortage of gauze and for many
weeks these surgical dressings
workers had to lay off so the
quota got far, far behind.
With each new victory on
every fighting front there is
greater need for clean, sterile
dressings to protect our soldiers
wounds. A small thing it may
seem, but vitality necessary to
those bleeding men and to the
doctors and nurses who so gal
lantly work to save them!
AS honorary chairman of the
British unit here, Lady Halifax,
wife of His Britannia Majesty's
Ambassador, gives many volun-
teer hours herself to the making
of surgical dressings. She also
works regularly at Dorchester
House with Mrs. John Earring
tons group of Red Cross volun-
teers now busily engaged in
making property bags for the
Army and Navy. These are
apron toilet kits for servicemen
and she worked with them when
they recently completed 10000
seaman's survivors kits.
The life of an Ambassadors
lady nowadays is serious, hard
working one. To Lady Halifax
the war has brought great per-
sonal sorrow, and like many
other women, she is finding that
the greatest solace comes in
helping others. She hopes very
much that any British woman
who wants to join this British
unit and help bring surgical
dressings back to its quota will
do so. The unit meets at the
Walsh House every Monday from
| o'clock until 4:30 and every
Wednesday from 9 until l
o'clock. If you would like to vol
unteer your services, call Hobart
$500 and ask for Mrs. Harbold
who is chairman of production.

CHANGED ATTITUDE

In organizing permanent peace
among the rest of the world, after
the difficult postwar period, very
different attitude must be taken.
In some of these proposals there
appears to be a cynical intention
that the four great Allied powers
shall continue for all time to domi-
nate the world by force and through
individual agreements as TO spheres
CT influence.
Il hope and pray that no such
reactionary purpose will be allowed
to dominate the conference, else the
peace of the world will as surely
as night follows day again be de-
stroyed'
The Republican presidential cam
didate said he issued the statement
to be on record" before the parley
opens.
To his prepared statement, he
added:
If We get off on the wrong foot
Of cynical power politics, we have
lest the war before We have won
it."
