It was a rough transition for Rebecca, a minister's daughter, whose pacifism was initially re- ligiously based. One she had grappled with the theoretical connections, she went to work fully committed, but always out of the public eye, because it was felt that her liaison with a Ger- man national might reflect poor- ly on the sincerity of her opposi- tion to war. Passionately aware of the po- tential for American involve- ment in Europe, Rebecca threw more and more energy into or- ganizations that were trying to alert the public to the slow drift toward war. She helped initiate the Fellowship of Re- conciliation, a religious pacifist group which is still active today. She was a member of the American Neutralist Conference Committee, an organization which supported Woodrow Wil- son's isolationist stance prior to World War II. IN ADDITION, Rebecca was an organizer for the Women's Peace Party, and for The Emer- gency Peace Federation, a peace RELIABLE ABORTION SERVICE Close to Ann Arbor.

The ceremony, as she remembers it, was vision- ary and spoke of harmony and independence of spirit. Nonethe- less, as with many women activ- ists her role in public life di- minished after her marriage. Now Rebecca Shelly, approach- ing 90, travels extensively and uses any forum available to re- mind people that they have "a responsibility to end the war in Indochina and the suffering of the Vietnamese." In the past year she has traveled on the In- dian subcontinent and in Indo- china, maintainiing a vigil in her rmourning clothes outside the American embassy wherever she happens to be. Her next book of poetry, soon to be published, will be called Many Voices, and has been drawn from her experiences in Bangladesh and Vietnam. WHEN ASKED what message she would like to leave with the students she recently visited in Ann Arbor, Rebecca said, "Remember that leaders can use you for their own advantage. They can steer you wrong, but if you examinte your own heart, you can act wisely and compas- sionately."

When the tide of public senti- ment shifted toward favoring pa- triotic support of the govern- ment's action and an interna- tional role for the U.S., Rebecca stood her lonely ground and spoke out for peace and democ- racy.
