national chaplain to national junior
vice president Both the men and
women plan extensive campaigns
to bring this honor to the First
State.
Past Department President Eu-
nice Rambo of Wilmington will
serve as Mrs. Rhind's campaign
manager and special first State
badges have been prepared which
all delegates will wear. Through
the cooperation of Delaware Me-
mortal Bridge souvenir ash trays
will be distributed which will also
contain a boost for the candidate.
Mrs. Raymond Nj. Loose of Dia-
mond State Auxiliary, who is jun
ior vice president of the Eastern
States Conference will push the
candidacy among these states while
past president Florence Gillespie,
Milford, a member of the National
Council of Administration, will
operate from that level.
Delaware will also be honored
on opening day for having secured
100 percent cooperation in the An
nual Community Service contest,
