Our Grand President, Ruth Anne Ware Greig, is a splendid example of how a busy person can work real war activity into an already crowded schedule-for one day a week she works in the canteen at the Los Angeles Blood Bank, another day she is on call for the "dawn patrol" of the Mobile Canteen which leaves the Red Cross Canteen building at 6:30a.m .• and she makes surgical dressings and bakes cookies for the USO whenever she can. She is only a few hours away from her second service stripe and has theE pin awarded by the Navy to Blood Bank Workers. Hats off to Sigma Kappa's First Lady!

By BEATRICE BEMISS POST, Magazine Fund Divisional Chairman

HE accomplishments of your "Maga­ zines for Service Men" project are a T definite part of the war work being carried on by Sigmas everywhere. These magazines, paid for by you, are a welco'me addition to the mail bags received by fight­ ing ships, isolated army and navy posts, and hospital units. Since inception of the project two ana a half years ago, magazines have been sent to more than a hundred and twenty­ five different military units. These orders have ranged from six to fifty magazines de­ pending upon the limited information we could obtain as to the personnel maintained by each. We,hope soon, to surpass the $1,000 goal originally set as the figure we anticipated to expend annually on this project. The proj­ ect fund has been spread to allow the greatest number of men to benefit. Due to the reorganization of this part of our war project into three divisions, with the funds raised by each section to be de­ voted exclusively to that region, we can now work on a competative basis, with each group of Sigmas endeavoring to top the other two.
