may-T5e repeated.
For some forty (<10.) odd years this

did not let this stop her ambitions
or asperations..

Since that time she has been an active
member doing-everything possible to

the Stewardess Board and. also President
of the Stewardess Union which
embraces alL of the Methodist Churches
in the city. She is lone of the
lnjulino- momtlni'u + Vw>
Society of Bethel Church, and also
tMovueotod Willi the CgbrisMan ?
Temperance Union.
Aside from church Mother Lown-J.
des has been very active in fraternal
S'grmlzatiohs- of which she has been
a member for many, years. - For 82
year's the Friendly ,Aid Society has
