THE RULE OF THUMB
spoke to the women on certain
phases of army regulations and
told of the rules imposed on their
husbands because of the war.
Men of the army are here for
work, not play, it was brought out,
and the women hope to follow a
program of work, with some social
activity included.
During the afternoon, the group,
which numbered well over 70 wo­
men, planned a sewing project at
the camp—sewing chevrons and
buttons on the uniforms of the en­
listed men and officer personnel.
They are also planning to aid the
Red Cross group on the post and
cooperate fully with the other units.
Nurses aid will be offered.
Tea was served at 5 o’clock when
the officers came off duty, and a
dance followed.
