Club Secretary
* YES, we're busier than ever these days since the Americans arrived. We find they’ve hearty appetites and seem to enjoy the meals we provide. There was great excitement among the girls the first night a party of sailors came to our club, and although the girls appeared to be having a little difficulty trying to dance they were certainly enjoying themselves. Lots of our girls have invited soldiers and sailors to their home, and these boys have told me how much they appreciate such hospitality. I encourage the girls to take the boys out, because I know our own lads overseas, and particularly in America, are receiving a grand welcome. But I also point out to the girls that they have even a greater duty to our own boys who are away. "Go out and enjoy all the fun that’s going," I tell them, "but don’t neglect those letters and parcels that are looked forward to so eagerly, and don’t give the idea that their place in our hearts has been filled." .
