Dear American War Dad:

Keep August 2lst in mind. It is the date of our next War Dad
Chapter meeting. At that time, under the new By-Laws adopted at es
Omaha, we will have the report of the Nominating Committee to fill
these offices: : :

President First Vice—President
Treasurer sergeant at Arms

All other officers are appointed by the incoming President.
It's mighty important that we get a set of good men who will work ~
at this job, and we want you here to help in their selection.
Nominations may be made from the floor, when desired, and we may
have a little competition. vo

If you do not have a membership card for 1945, come anyway. —
You can bring your 1945 dues—-$2.00. But we want You more than we
want the money. . :

Two of your officers attended the District Council meeting
at Kansas City, Kansas, recently and come back convinced that the
War Dads are doing things elsewhere and have a mighty big program
ahead. If you could have heard what Topeka is doing, for instance,
for boys in Winter General Hospital you would know why War Dads
are so highly regarded there. And it's true ina lot of other
places. By the way, we voted $15.00 to be sent to help the boys
in the hospital in Topeka. Right now there is a call for six-inch
electric fans for some of the boys who need them badly. The
Government can't buy them. If you have one, whether in good repair
or not, and want to contribute it, call the secretary at 487 or 536.

Also there is a call from a Red Cross unit that wants such
materials as baseballs (new or nearly new), bats (for outdoor use),
golf balls (for miniature course), archery bows and arrows (in good
condition), balsa wood (in various thicknesses), and plane model
paper. If you can contribute any of this material, contact the
secretary. If you favor sending money for this purpose that can
be voted at the August meeting. There is always a need.

We are told there will soon be a big demand at Wadsworth for
many items which the Government does not furnish but which will add
much to the happiness and comfort of the boys who are patients :

there.

Questions as to employment, loans, education, etc., are al—
ready coming up and will do so incredsingly. Yes, there is much to
do for those who will do it. Will you help? Perhaps your first
step may be to come out to the meeting August 21, Tuesday, 8:00
p. m., at the Legion Hall. DON'T FORGET! :
