Reciprocity Night
Is Held bv Club

The traditional reciprocity night
of the Junior Woman's Club OF
Chevy Chase was held last night
with the drama section providing
entertainment with variety radio
show.
AS wartime conditions made it
impossible for representatives OF
Junior women's clubs of the gen.
eral federation to attend this an
nual meeting, reports on their Or
ganizations' activities, in contrast
to projects and programs of the
Chevy Chase Woman's Club, were
given by Miss jeanette Dulin. Miss
Dulin had previously contacted club
representatives and was able to give
an interesting resume of what they
are doing.
A very successful clothing drive
in conjunction with UNRRA, was
concluded at the meeting by Miss
Alice Hirsch, and Miss Norlaine
Lewis reported the success of game
night" held recently for the benefit
of the work of the Army and Navy
through the Red Cross. An enthu.
siastic account of the reception
given the Easter dish gardens" ane
plants by the servicemen in loca
hospitals was made by Miss Eliza.

Bombay Woman
Tells Of Imdia's
Many Problems
By Gretchen Smith

How war has increased the prob
lens of India's millions, bringing
added difficulties in obtaining food
as well as finding refuge for thou
sands of war evacuees, was described
by Miss Nora E. Ventura of Bombay,
India, in an address before members
of the World YWCA yesterday.
Guest speaker at the groups final
luncheon meeting of the season at
the K street YWCA, Miss Ventura
presented a vivid picture of condi-
tions in her home country which she
left for the first time a few weeks
ago. Attired in an emerald green
sari, the speaker, who is national
religious secretary of the YWCA Of
India, Burma and Ceylon, gave a
Closeup" picture of war repercus-
sions in the land of Mahatma
Ghandi.
She told how thousands of evac-
uees had moved to India from North
Africa and other war-torn areas
as far north as Poland and that fol-
lowing the entrance of Japan into
the struggle, other thousands had
sought refuge in India from New
Guinea, Singapore and other parts
of the Orient. With the fall Of Bur-
ma, India lost the market which
supplied three-fourths of its rice,
the essential food to most of India's
millions. Following this, a cyclone
hit large agricultural areas, de-
stroylng hundreds of farms and in
tensifying the food shortage. Famine
prevailed in many sections of Ben
gal, Miss Ventura continued, and
many millions died of starvation.
In addition to working for relief
OF starving millions, the Indian
YWCA also was asked to undertake
the housing of women in uniform
serving with the Allied armies in
India, the speaker said.
All of these tasks the organization
has undertaken, but it has been diff
cult, and there is much to be done
India is looking to the United States
for help in her problems, Miss Ven-
tura commented
Although India has a variety OF
peoples, customs and religions with
which to contend, the country is
united on one subject, she declared
and that is freedom.
If India has her freedom, she will
have a great future" Miss Ventura
said. Blessed with natural re-

AS the ban on large conferences
has made it impossible for the Ma.
tional Society of Daughters of the
American Revolution to hold theil

With typical enthusiasm, tht
board agreed that the organization
