To these men, brave and eager for action and restless and frustrated from lack of equipment, it is the job of Mrs. Conlon and tier coworkers to be "morale boosters." Mrs.

Conlon, who lived in Glen-dale Park, is the widow of Lieut. James C. Conlon, one of the first Rochester officers reported killed In the North African campaign. Active in the Red Cross here since the outbreak of the war, having served as nurse's aide and staff assistant in a local hospital, she obtained leave from her job at the Board of Education last August to enlist for overnoas duty, and after a few months' training in and around Washington, sailed from the Wet Coast in November. After two months of traveling which included 47 days on the water, a stopover in India and then the famous air trip "over the Hump," the only route to her almost inaccessible destination, she finally arrived, late in January, at her permanent assignment.
