LOCAL WOMEN WORKING HARD IN WAR EFFORT Activities Of Brevard Wo men Pointed Out In Talk By Mrs. Kapp Featuring the July meeting of the Women’s Civic* Club, held in the Methodist parlor, was a discus sion by Mrs. Lehman Kapp on the topic, “Women at War Work.” “When the call to war came up on the nation, millions of Ameri can women put aside idleness and responded, forming an unprece dented supporting army for the war in actual combat,” Mrs. Kapp said, in opening her discussion. “All over the country, women are doing their part, but not enough have yet gone into war work,” the speaker pointed out. Statistics released by the Man power commission show that the total number now employed in gainful occupations in war and non-war industries, including wo men in uniform, is 15,000.000, it was brought out. These figures, however, do not include a number less army of volunteer workers, totaling 600.000, the majority of whom are women. In localizing the subject under discussion, Mrs. Kapp told of the various ways in which Brevard and Transylvania county women have been and are assisting in the war effort. “Brevard women have responded splendidly from the be ginning to the call for volunteer workers” she asserted. War Bonds Primary Work In a summary of local women's war work the past year, Mrs. Kapp mentioned as their primary work the club's sale of war bonds and stamps on each fourth Saturday in the business district. It was re vealed from the report of Mrs. Larry Haswell, in charge of this branch of the club work, that total sales from September to May amounted to $7,146.15. The larg est sale was in March, with a to tal of $1,543.40 sold in bonds and stamps. With the opening of the Red CATHOLIC CHURCH Mass every Sunday and Holy Day at N V A Hut on Broad street.

Happ, women of the town responded in large numbers in volunteering for this phase of war work. “When War Ration Book No. 2 was issued, volunteers were called for, and again the women respond de and traveled all over the county issuing the books, and later volunteered their services in the grocery stores showing the peo ple how to use them,” Mrs. Kapp further explained. Women also helped with the canvass for Victory gardens, and now the town is divided into sec tions and blocks, with leaders who will help with the canning and give demonstrations in the homes of the town and county. Honor Roll Board Sponsored Other activities, it was brought out, include the sponsoring of the soldiers’ honor roll board on the court house lawn, the expenses of which are borne by the various clubs of Brevard. The club also makes the soldier kits, which the American Legion pays for to be given each service man when he leaves Brevard. A great many of the club women enrolled in the recent Red Cross home nursing classes in Brevard and throughout the county and were awarded cer tificates, thus preparing themselves to better take care of their fami lies and also to substitute in the shortage of doctors and nurses due to the war. Another important war service Brevard women are participating in is Girl Scouting, which has made rapid growth in Brevard the past year. “A year ago there was one troop, under the leadership of Mrs. Ashe Macfie. with 26 girls enrolled, and now there are three troops comprising 87 Girl Scouts and more joining every week,” Mrs. Kapp said.
