Wherever free women are fighting for a free world, Britain, Canada, the United States, flourishes the Women's Voluntary Sen-ices and this fact was demonstrated by the presence at the ceremonies of Mrs. Graham Bryce, tall, blue-eyed Britisher from Manchester who is now helping organize the government-sponsored WVS in Canada. Both Mrs. Bryce and Mm. McLean served apprenticeship in Britain during the early months of the organization in 1938 and '39.

Standing by Tuesday afternoon were Hie three co-chairmen of the Detroit group, Mrs. Frederick 8. Ford, Mrs. Ernest Matlock and Mrs. Dewitt Merriam, the chairmen of units and many member-hostesses.

The public was invited to Inspect headquarters from 3 to 7 in the evening. Busy Day for Visitors IT WAS a toss-up who was most pleased and excited, the out-of-town founders, Detroit's own workers or Judge Merriam who had a field day acting as escort and presenter of flags for the ladies. Things started at 8:30 In the morning when the press had brief interviews with Mrs. McLean and Mrs. Bryce in the Book-Cadillac and continued with a rush visit to Willow Run, a luncheon conference with Chrysler officials and members of the Chrysler Girls Club, talks with labor groups and the final bang-up dedication ceremony.

Asked whether AWVS was a "society" organization, Mrs. McLean snapped back that about half of one per cent might come under that heading. "If you mean women with free time," she qualified, "that is a different thing. This Is strictly a volunteer group and much of the work must be done in the daytime. But our members take in everjr type of women from factory workers to country groups who are doing excellent social service among the farmers.

American Women's Voluntary Services as started to prepare women to serve their community in every possible way during the war. That should make it plain that more than one type of woman is needed."

Her tastes run to country life but her home In Delaware sees her only briefly and her own family has literally become strangers to her.

"We missed each other last Christmas." she said with a humorous twist to her mouth, "and I don't suppose we'll have any better luck this year. Yes, I still ride when I can snatch a day in the country but those cross-country hunts are off for the duration." AWVS, founded In 1940 by Mrs. McLean, today has 4.10 unlU scattered over the I'nlted States and Alaska and Is growing beyond all prediction. The jump in Detroit from a handful of women In 1941 to more than 4,000 at the present time has been duplicated In every locality. Canada Forming WVS Centers MRS.

BRYCE, who came to Toronto In 1940 with her two small sons, is the wife of a surgeon of Manchester, Dr. Graham Bryce, and before her marriage worked for the British Government as a factory inspector and an Industrial psychology Investigator. She went to Edinburgh University at the same time as Jennie Lee, one of Britain's foremost women labor leaders who has visited Detroit many times, and was captivated and interested from the first by the strong-minded miner's daughter. "There are over 1,000,000 members of WVS In Britain," he told reporters, "and the Interesting thing Is that they continue to work for the volunteer organization even after going Into other forms of war work. Every woman In Britain Is now registered and conscripted, you know." Asked about the Canadian WVS she reported a large growth in Ontario where It was first started and a Dominion- wide project at the present time to organize and unite the volunteers under a national head quarters.

We all nave to earn our uniforms." she said, smiling shyly. "I'm earning mine by helping organize and making sleeper jumps to New York to consult Mrs. McLean." Both Mrs. McLean and Mrs. Bryce left on early evening trains to return to their respective homes.
