War Mothers Plan Elaborate Dance

The second annual ball of the local chapter of American War Mothers for former service men and their friends will be held at the city auditorium Wednesday, December 21, details having been completed at a meeting of the chapter at the Chamber of Commerce Friday afternoon.

Mrs. Hugh Montgomery, president of the chapter, presented preliminary plans, which were adopted by the members. The event will be one of the biggest and best balls ever held in Charlotte, it is said.

A committee from the American Legion will assist the War Mothers in staging the ball. This committee is composed of Lee A. Folger, A.J. Beall, Dan Carroll, W.F. Dowd Jr., Guion Griffith, Louis Southerland and Norman Lynch.

The present membership of the War Mothers chapter is 225. The particular work of the chapter is directed among tubercular soldiers at Oteen hospital. Some of the patients there are natives of Charlotte, it was said.
