PAGE FOUR THE COOPERATOR'S RALLY DAY EDITION WILL RE SOLD , FOR FIVE CENTS A COPT ALL FUNDS RECEIVED WILL RE DONATED TO THE LOCAL DEFENSE FUND I Womans Club Notes Greenbelt Woman’s Club met February 5 at the home of Mrs. W. Corwin Ewing with Mrs. Roy S. Braden and her mother Mrs. Pence assisting as hostesses. The Valentine motive was carried out most effectively in the decorations and refreshments, augmented by tiny American flags presented to each guest. The business meeting centered around the Defense Rally to be held February 21 at which the club members will act as hostesses. The next meeting will be held February 19 at the home of Mrs. William 0. Murdock with Mrs. Denzil Wood assisting. This will be a continuation of the South American Tour and will also cel ebrate National Music Week. Mrs. William P. Starr, president of Prince Georges County Feder ation, paid tribute to the work of the club and the way in which it has helped to organize helpful activities in the community. Mrs. Harry Harcum, past pres ident of the Maryland Federation of Women’s Clubs, to whom Mrs. Braden as program chairman gave much credit for guiding the Green belt Club through its infancy, stated that “we as individuals are broadened in our outlook and our capacity when we shoulder our responsibilities bravely. This Club’s second birthday anniver sary finds us deep in actual de fense activities which a year ago many citizens thought rather far fetched.” Mrs. Harcum empha sized the need for finger printing, especially of school children. Mrs. Walter E. Kriel, president of the Maryland Federation said, “Without organization we can not hope to accomplish.” In closing the afternoon Mrs. George Panagoulis was elected by unanimous vote to be the Woman’s Club candidate for Miss Defense in the February 21 rally.

Uncle Sam Frowns Upon Defense Stamp Racket Postmaster George W. Bryant early this week issued the follow ing warning against the latest fad in low pressure patriotism, the defense stamp “Chain letter.” “The mails in all parts of the country are being flooded with schemes soliciting defense stamps. The sending of such matter is a violation of postal statutes. Notice is served upon persons partici pating in such schemes that fraud orders may be placed against them. Such orders forbid the de livery of any mail to persons named therein.” Rochdale Institute Offers Training Course Jobs Rochdale Institute, national training .school in consumer co operation, has announced its Spring 1942 co-op personnel train ing program April 6—May 30th with courses geared to meet war emergency requirements for train ed workers in the expanding co operative movement.
