Show Woman of the Week This is the first time we've stepped out of the South East area but there are persons who just must be mentioned, and we met one just the other day. She's Mis. E. Roland Harriman, housewife, mother and prominent ; civic worker of New York and just recently a visitor in our city. Mrs. Harriman is a living testimony testi-mony that it's the busiest persons who get any job done. She is vice chairman of the New York chapter of American Red Cross, I . . --" -i -1 ' i J - - .v . 1 I - - ' J MRS. g. ROLAND HABitfMAJf and chairman of Volunteers. She serves on the executive, budget and finance, disaster and fund raising committees. Mrs. Harriman began her Red Cross work in 1939 as a production produc-tion worker in Tuxedo (N. Y.) Chapter. In 1941 she transferred to the New York chapter and in 1912 joined the North Atlantic area staff as assistant administrator administra-tor of Volunteer special services. Her friendly and warm personality person-ality bespeak her true love of people and she captivates those with whom she mingles. It is evident there is no limit to her capacity and ability to give of herself to the project undertaken; under-taken; whatever it might be. But like everyone else she too enjoys "getting away from it all" and her hobbies include hunting fishing and . spending time on their Idaho ranch. Then there are the trotting horses. And we knew they were extra special for her eyes lighted up when she spoke of them. Her Red Cross slogan is . . .
