Only guests present for the lun-1 present for this program so they
cheon wem the o-iipki artists can let the Army and Navy know
just how well Nocona is willing to
back any move to bring this fast
developing offensive war in favor
of the United Nations.
Several high officials of the mili-
tary organizations have made some
trips to Nocona in preparation for
this interesting program.
May 12 will conclude the two days
set aside for Nocona and the re-
cruiting officers will remain here
to accept applications from those
that wish to respond to the coun-
try’s need for a 10.000.000 fighting
force to win this struggle against
aggression from across both
oceans.
How well are we willing to co-
operate with the nation to preserve
those ways of life that we cherish
so much? Your presence there will
partially answer that question.

(Reported by Ruth Fleming)
In response to a call issued by
the Nocona Chamber of Commerce,
a group of women met in the
Church of Christ at 3 p. m. Tues-
day, to consider the formation ot a
War Mothers Club. W. J. Stone,
president of the Chamber oi Com-
merce, outlined what might be the
objectives of such a group. After
further discussion all present voted
in favor of the formation of such
a club.
Mrs. Claud Wallace was selected
as temporary chairman and Miss
Ruth Fleming as temparary secre-
tary. It was voted that member-
ship be opened to mothers, wives
and sisters of men in the armed
services of the United States which
embraces the U. S. Army, Navy and
Marine Corps.
It was decided to call a meeting
for 4:30 p. m. Tuesday. May 12th.
at the Church of Christ for going
into permanent organization and
selection of permanent organiza-
tion. Those present at the last
meeting urged that all women who
have sons, husbands, or brothers to
be present at that time. The tent-
ative program of work would in-
clude the following:
Stimulate interest in blood banks
to be used for men in service.
See that all men in service re-
ceive their home paper.
Secure laws that will permit men
in service to cast absentee ballots.
Aid and assist and extend sym-
pathy to any member in time of
grief.
Urge that troops are
supplied.
Create interest in knitting. Home
Defense Guards and other activi-
ties that will contribute to early
victory.
Discourage any activity that im-
pedes our fight.
