Those initiated were Miss Pat Butler, Miss Ruth Dunning and Miss Kay Schlothoucr. Mrs. Lois Ser-ruys-was unanimously elected Commando mother, ; Feature of the meeting was a talk by Sergeant Carl Cook in which he emphasized that everyone, big and little, has a vital part to play in the war effort. 'eryone must use his own initiative, he said, and above bU must invest every available bit of money in war bonds and stamps. People haen't even begun to scratch the surface in giving to the government and must con tinue to save rubber, scrap metal and other vital mater ials, even though the "drives" for them are over. Sergeant Cook placed the blarae for the present world conflict squarely on the shoul ders of the older generation for not finishing what they started In World war I, but pointed out that It Is up to young America to settle things now, once and for all. Above all, he emphasized, - everyone must be on hts guard against unwittingly spreading rumors through idle gossip. "Silence saves lives," he said, and the enemy wants s to talk, for it not only gives frequent aid to their cause directly but also demoralizes the faith of those who do the talking or listen to such rumors. He closed his talk by say. lug, "Think. Act. Help, and victory will be ours. We, as God-fearing, free people must and will win this war."
