P. E. O. Chapters Elect Officers and Support War Efforts
About a hundred members across Cedar Rapids seven P. E. O. chapters elected officers in March. Presidents lead chapters in a year of intensified war activity and fund campaigns. Chapters contributed to the P. E. O. victory fund, supported the United War Fund, and helped purchase bonds and Red Cross services. They donated books to a victory drive and money to campaigns, while supporting the educational fund and Cottey College. The national offices share space at the P. E. O. Memorial library on the Mt. Pleasant campus.
