“If members of the Male Sex can reduce their wastes and increase their usefulness to their Native Land by camping, exercising and drilling, why not get up a camp of my own, since I knew that I would not be alowed to go away to train, owing to my Familey?”
I am always one to decide quickly. So I have now made a sketch of a Unaform and written out the names of ten girls who will be home when I am. I here write out the Purpose of our organisation:
To defend the Country and put ourselves into good Physical Condition.—Memo: Look up “physical” as it looks odd, as if mispelled.
Motto: To be voted on later.
Password: Plattsburg.
Dues: Ten dollars each in advance to buy Tent, etcetera.
Unaform: Kakhi, with orange-colored necktie. In times of danger the orange color to be changed to something which will not atract the guns of the Enemy.
Name: Girls’ Aviation Corps. But to be known generally as the G. A. C. as because of Spies and so on we must be as secret as possable.
I have done everything thus in advance, because we will have but a short time, and besides I know that if everything is not settled Jane will want to run things, and probably insist on a set of By-Laws, etcetera, which will take to much time.
I have also decided to be Captain, as having organised the Camp and having a right to be.
