• Discusses ‘Cost of
Defense’ at Meeting
Major S. G. Staniforth was guest
speaker at the meeting of the Fed-
erated B&PW club, Thursday eve-
ning. when members were enter-
tained at a dinner meeting at the
Elm hotel Major Staniforth dis-
cussed "Cost of Defense.’.’ Mrs.
Stella Rowe received the members.
Mrs. Irene Goslin, president, pre-
. sided, offering the invocation, "An
International Prayer” preceding
the dinner. Mrs. Elizabeth Tan-
ner introduced the speaker, who
pointed out that the average
American figures the cost of the
war in dollars and cents. He
stated that it cannot be figured in
mcney alone, and the thing “we
must consider now is not what it
will cost to win the war but what
it will cost to lose it.”
Major Staniforth mentioned
that one of the most important
steps for -women to take in the
national emergency is to stop false
rumors and discourage any criti-
cism of the government.
Mrs. Goblin was in charge of a
tion of a proposal to buy some resi-
dential property in Gainesville, to
be converted into a Legion home.
