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!
