his remarks by saving that the

service TO the community when
ever it had been called upon, for

Verne Barnes, as the next
speaker introduced, paid ready
tribute to the girls and brought
cut the fact that the organization
is countrywide in its representa-
ton as the roster contains names
of those who have come from
many parts of the country. This

in which he told how much the
ESQ means to the community as
a whole. He also stated that the
community had not done a great

but had left this duty to the ESQ,
when in fact the girls need all
the backing, both moral and
financial that can be given them
to carry on this vital work. He
also gave it as his opinion that
the girls were doing their part
behind the lines as much as those
serving in the armed forces.
