This Day in History: 1941-11-25
The home of Mrs. Werner Turmbower was the scene of a meeting of the International Relation’s Committee of the Woman’s Club. the major speaker was Mrs. Fern Ross, who spoke of her many years in Peru. She had gone there as a bride and spent over twenty years there. She urged the members to do what they could to help break down the barriers between the colossus of the north and their southern neighbors. The traditions there, she said, were often older than ours and deserved respect. She spoke warmly of the work of Secretary of State Cordell Hull in making the pan American conferences the agency for President Roosevelt’s “Good Neighbor” policy. She exhibited some of the many lovely things she had collected during her stay in Peru. (Bristow)
