Blanche Tennerholm of Camp White was chief speaker at the meeting of the Ashland branch of American Association of University Women, Oct. 11. Tinnerholm, a native of France, Professor of French at Russell Sage College, on leave to serve in the WAC, spoke of conditions in France to which she had re turned frequently before the war, having made 22 trips across. She was in France when war broke. Without condemning the Laval type of Vichy Frenchmen, she spoke with sympathy of Marshal Petain’s intentions toward Fiance. Her sincere and forceful address was warmly applauded. Second speaker was Mrs. Henry C. Galey who described the work she is directing for the city in or ganizing the Block Leader system.
