To the Editor: In tonight's is
sue of The Journal I notice the ar
ticle on the Americanization com
mittee appointed by the governor.
I would like to call attention tii
the fact that the Woman's Relief
corps has been engaged in this
work for some time. Last year our
national committee, under the
leadership of our present national
president. Ines J. Bender, formu
lated a plan which has the ap
proval of the director of natural
ization and the cooperation nf Mia
courts.
I'nder this plan the department
in uregon. Woman's Relief Corps,
has done very good work.
The patriotic women of this or
der are awake to the great need
of this Americanization work, are
thoroughly organized in national,
department and local committees,
and are loyally doing their part.
