And for the brides and fiancés of American servicemen, a club has been formed in Sydney.

It has 600 members.

Girls come from all parts of Australia and many have already gone to the States to settle down.

Founder and President is Miss Elva Collins, seen at left with the American Consul General, Mr. Eli Palmer.

Club makes all wedding arrangements for members, finds bridal gowns, bridesmaids, even the Minister.
