Director of nent American Red Cross, 1709 Washington Avenus, St. Louis 3, Missouri. Dear Mr. Teeter: I am very happy to recommend Miss Velma Ruth Baker for your Red Cross recreation worker's program in overseas duty. Miss Baker was one of our sutstanding physical majors. Before taking up her major work in physical education she was majoring in mathematics. She. is a brilliant student, has an exceptional personality, and is wholesomely attractive. She enjoys excellent health, has a spontaneous enthusiasm, and has the ability to make friends easily. Wiss Baker graduated from the University of Kansas in 1938. After graduation she accepted a position at Chapman, Kansas, Commmity High - School, and did an exceptionally splendid job. Her rise was rapid. She went to New York University Physical Education Camp and worked on her master's degree in the sumer time. She accepted a position at Battle Creek, Michigan, and then went to Dearborn. She obtained her master's degree from N.Y.U. in 1941. : For some unknown reason, which I suspect was financial, she accepted a position with the Pratt and Whitney Engine Company in Kansas City as recreation director of women. I was rather surprised that she would leave her educational work, but the salary was so much more that it perhaps proved the impelling force. Miss Baker was terminated in Kansas City on June first at Pratt and Whitney. Iwas so surprised to learn of her being in Burlington that I called her this morning and she gave me this informtion regarding the termination. I thought she was still with Pratt and Whitney. In my opinion, Miss Baker would be an exceptional recreation worker. She certainly has outstanding ability. She has a most pleasing personality and her training and natural reactions would enable her to show a friendly yet impersonal attitude toward the men with whom she worked. She has an exceptional sense of humor and her maturity of judgment and sincerity of purpose should demand your very careful consideration of her application. She is cultured, intelligent and personable. In school she showed strong religious training. I am glad to recommend her to you. Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach. AMERICAN RED CROSS MIDWESTERN AREA 17089 WASHINGTON AVENUE ST. LOUIS, (3) MISSOURI July 10, 1944 eo Dre F. C.

Allen Director of Physical Education Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doctor Allen: We were gratified indeed with your letter of June 30 and its inclosure. I have never had any doubt that the ton of powder furnished your depart- ment during the last two years, under such ideal conditions of use, and with such splendid cooperation on the part of yourself and staff, would pay dividends. The price of $16.00 per 100 pounds was a special price accorded your department for obvious reasons. We will, however, extend that price to the Country Club if they decide to use it and will but it in that quantity. The regular school price is $6.25 for 25 pounds. You are, therefore, saving them a considerable amount. Incidentally, we will replace the 25 pounds you furnished them and I will leave it with you on my next trip to Lawrence. While it hasn't any particular significance, ix had nothing to do with the powder. Cap Treece and I did, however, spend fully six months in develop- ing the original powder and are, in fact, still working on it. We do appreciate your fine cooperation and are at your service at any time. Sincerely yours dd. LLB: TR : Lloyd L.'

Congratulations on landing Wilson and Company! That really is en achievement. I think the foot powder idea is the specific thing for athlete's foot prevention. I blush when I mention the fact that my shaving cream supply is getting low. Frankly, I would like to buy a jar of it ~ a large jar - rather then to have you give it to me. I em so pleased with it that I never think of buying amything else, so sometime when it is convenient for you and you are coming through Lawrence, I would appreciate it if you would leave m a jar together with your bill. ~ Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. e RAMER CHemicat Company Manufacturers of First Aids and Trainers Supplies Gardner, Kansas August 2, 1944 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doctor Allen: I have just returned from Kansas City where I interviewed the powers of Wilson & Company at their request, concerning our powder foot-bath. They received me very graciously and are going to give the powder bath a trial! During the conference, I mentioned your name, quite naturally, and Mr. McMahon, the plant superintendent, asked me if I thought that you might have some boys who would want to work for them part time, Christmas vacation or any other time. They are terribly short on help and the boys would really be doing a war job. I told him that I would contact you, explaining, of course, that boys were not as numerous at K.U. as in the good old days. He, of course, knows of your interest in the boys and will hope to hear from you. “00 DU Bax. LLB: TR Lloyd L. Boughton, Ph.D. Director of Research CRAMER CHEMICAL CO. P.S. Mr. W. J.
