"I visualize for this organization a type of endeavor which can wield a very powerful public opinion but we feel that this public opinion can be with prejudice toward more and help and encouragement toward all." Mrs. Marguerite J. Heron, of Dayton, national secretary for last year and next year, also presented her annual report Friday morning. "There are many interesting questions," she said, "and much interesting information which appears in secretarial mail, opening up new lines of organization endeavor. "It has taken a year to really known the units and to obtain a true picture of the breadth and worth-whileness of our work. We have, as women in aeronautics, as broad a field to cover as any other federated woman's organization in the United States. Dr. Weimer Speaks Following luncheon, Dr. L. C. Weimer, postmaster, addressed the group on the United States air mail. The afternoon was given over to a second business session, in which discussion was held on the women's national air meet, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday under the joint auspices of the W. N. A. A. and the Ninety-Nines. It was brought out in the afternoon session that two new units, Washington, D. C., and Raleigh, N. C., are ready to join the national organization.
