The two membership teams leally did a fine job in securing new members. Forty women have joined the unit during this membership drive. After the business of the evening" was disposed of, the members were entertained during the social hour by Mrs. Pearl Pietsch, who showed some colored slides. 1"he slides were both amusing and instructive. They are the property of a large company which specializes in reducing avoidupois and perfecting posture. The before and after pictures were inspiring to those among us who would like to take off weight and improve posture. Plans were discussed at the meeting for the Christmas gra'b bag party to be held at the December meeting. More serious aspects of the discussions centered around the vtays and means of helping • the disabled veterans to have a happier Christmas this year. During December, the Legiop and auxiliary really go into high gear in their rehabilitation program. We hope all the members will help to make this holiday season a good one.
