Dear Dr. Allen:

Miss Donis E. McDermond has given your name to us as a reference
on her work and ability. She hes applied for a position as a Director (i
Assistant Z@! in one of our U,.S.0. centers.

Our part in the defense program is to be of service to the thousands of
women and girls in overcrowded communities adjacent to military camps or
where defense industries have been newly established.

The Director of a UeS.0. center to provide this service must be a good
organizer, a good group worker and good in her community relationships.
She will need to be a person who can build a program quickly and direct
the activities herself if necessary. Assistants to the Directors will
carry special responsibilities for group work with business and industrial
women or for health education or personal counseling or housing or for a
reereational program for the men in camp and the girls of the locality.

Please give us any information you can on the applicant's personal qualifi-.
cations for the position she is applying for as well as her demonstrated
ability to carry our work. Does she have excellent health, endurance, and.

emotional balance? .

Please state the reason for resignation if the applicant is in your employ
and is resigning her position.

We are enclosing a blank for your use in replying to us.
Sincerely yours,

en IRepette

Personnel Secretary
UeS.0. Division
