PEO President
Warns Against
Isolation’
Mrs. Walker Urges
Women to Meet
Tests of War
A challenge to meet the “acid test”
of citizenship in a world at war was
before members of the District
Chapter of the PEO Sisterhood as
they prepared today to conclude
their annual two-day State conven
tion.
Mrs. Blanche D. Walker of Helena,
Mont., supreme president of the
sisterhood, warned against attempts
at isolation from the responsibili
ties of living in a Nation at war as
she addressed the convention dinner
last night at the Sulgrave Club.
“We are facing the fact that we
may not supinely sit and w'atch the
procession go by,” she said. "We :
arc a part cf it whether we wish to
be or not. It touches our lives at
every point and how well we are
meeting it is the acid test of our
citizenship.”
Urges Open Mind.
The duties of a citizen, Mrs.
Walker pointed out, include keep
ing a well informed but open mind, i
conducive to sane and logical rather |
than hysterical and confused think- i
ing.
“We need to keep a firm grip on
ourselves,” she declared. “Emo
tions are contageous; we need to be
sure our state of mind is one that
will not weaken those about us.”
Mrs. Walker also spoke this morn
ing, sharing the program with*Mrs.
Joy Elmer Morgan, president of the
Washington Council of Church
Women.
Speaking on the subject “For the
Facing of This War,” Mrs. Morgan
declared that the only secret wea- '
pons which have appeared so far i
during the war are the inner spir- j
itual resources by which nations
have been sustained under the im
pact of disaster.
Allies’ Secret Weapons.
“Britain’s secret weapon,” she
said, “for the facing of this hour
has been courage; China's greatest
strength has been her unbreakable
spirit; Norway still commands the
respect of the world because her
clergy, her school teachers, her plain
people, have never surrendered their
souls, even though compelled to give
up their cities and their lands.”
Warning that with the lengthen
ing of the struggle this Nation must
be prepared for a deepening of its
wounds, Mrs. Morgan expressed
confidence that “when the American
people are subject to their greatest
strain the secret weapon by which
they will be preserved will be their
spiritual assets—gripping convic
tions, deep faith, great inner as
surance.”
Election and installation of Dis
trict officers this afternoon will con
clude the convention, which is being
held at the Mount Pleasant Congre
gational Church. The organization
! also will elect a delegate to the su
preme convention to be held in De
troit in September.
Musical Program.
A special musical program was a
feature of the dinner last night, at
which Miss Alma Barry presided as
toastmistress. Piano selection by
Mrs. Gladys Vaile. violin selec
tions by Mrs. Mary Ellen Pogue,
who was accompanied at the
piano by Mrs. Mary Dwan, and
vocal solos by Mrs. Helen Turley,

by Mrs. Beatrice Voight, were in
cluded. Mrs. Alice Haig led com
munity singing and readings were
presented by Mrs. Ida Ullman
Brown.

and Mrs. Wade Ellis, whose sponsor
l ship made the Sulgrave Club avail
