North Western representatives both on-line and off-line throughout the United States have been supplied with token "baby passes" which they mail to as many newborn as possible. The "pass", which bears the baby's name, is a reminder that children under 5 are carried free by the railroads, a practice dating back to the earliest days of railroading. With each pass goes a letter welcoming the new arrival to a wonderful, exciting land and, of course, "mom and dad" are invited to bring baby for a ride on a "400" streamliner real soon.

Ethel, as Americauism chairman, emphasized this phase of the Auxiliary's work by showing a picture of the America we all love. The narrator's interesting information added interest to this unusual film in technicolor. The colorful scenes of many beautiful spots and the more serious aspects of our nations life, the industry, the agriculture and other fauets ;of American life brought to us the realisation that though we love nature we are not idle dreamers. The men in the steel mills earning their living, literally,. "by. • the sweat of the brow," •ere "iu great contrast to the men engaged in another. hazardous occupation, that of log rolling. As this film showed a cross-section Of the American scene, so the Legion and Auxiliary represents a crosssection of the people in this scene. Among our ranks are to be found some in all walks of life. In these organizations there arp farmers and engineers, doctors and nurses, white collar girls and housewives, all working together toward a better world for themselves and for posterity. The picture came to its "finis" with the sound advice to invest in government bonds to help our country uow and to help ourselves in the future. Two young men helped MrB. McGee with her Americanism program. Let*, nephew of Mrs. Vance, the Auxiliary president. Was the very capable cameraman. Dan Green gave a very uoteworthy, rendition of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. With the thoughts inspired by the film and the performance of these two fine boys representing their generation, we felt we could meet the future with confidence. To further highlight the evening, Mary Rita Stilling sang for us. She sang "Domino" and "Oarden in the Rain". She closed her program in a light and humorous vein with "Homework", the plaintive song of an office girl who wanted nothing better in life than I to be able to keep her man at her side through her ability to do good "Homework". Mrs. Stirling's lovely voice and personality are always enjoyed but we like her best when she f.is "doing" a humorous 8 o n g. Her personality shines through these songs and radiates happiness. With us at this meetiug wore some new members, Mrs. Grace Goffo. whose husband. Julius, is manager of the Chapel Hill country club. Mrs. Marie Diedrich, who has a beauty shop in town, Ethele Brady of Lily Lake and Doris Wlay of Johnsburg. Minnie Green was presented with a beautiful hand made doll by Mrs. Bedell. Minnie hopes to realize some money on the doll for one of the Auxiliary's worthy projects. - Mrs.. Vance announced that the Auxiliary will play hostess to the Legion on the Legion's birthday in March, probably on Sunday, the sixteenth, if this date meets the convenience of the Legion. In appreciation of the Auxiliary's sponsorship, the Girl Scouts invited Harold and Jeann$tte Vance to their recent dinner. Mrs. McGte chose some books for the library to be donated by the Auxiliary. One was Irving Stone's "The Presidents Lady,'* given in honor of our past president, Henrietta Vycital. and another, /'Tht- Cruel Sea." giveri' in Memory of Yeoman Bailey. To top off this memorable evening. Mrs. George Freund served IF ITS WORTH DOING It* Worth Doing Right some of her. own delicious cherry pie with very good coffee made by Helen Harth.
