You’ll like the smart way it looks, right for every second in a man’s Federated Women’s Clubs Urged To Purchase Bonds (Continued from Page Nine) private homes to delegates and visitors. Reservations should be asked for without delay, she says. With the list of speakers for the convention completed and announ ced, attention of clubwomen is now centering on other features of the program. Among these will be the training school for officers, direct ed by Mrs. T. Fred Henry of Salis bury, the Federation’s first vice president, Mrs. J. L. Blain Buck of Richmond, Virginia. The school will afford opportunity for incom ing club officers to learn their duties and become better prepared to do the work ahead. Mrs. Henry is anxious that every club send its new officers to the Convention. Another interesting event is an nounced by Mrs. Clarence W. Beas ley of Colerain, second vice-pres ident. She says that during the district presidents’ hour, at a morn ing session, for het first time cer tificates of honor will be awarded senior clubs making a rating of 100 per cent according to reports. During the year the district pres idents vie with one another in adding new clubs, in increasing memberships, and in furtheiing the general growth of the Federa tion. Their reports at conventions are always eagerly anticipated, and this year Mrs. Beasley has worked out a new scheme, not to be re vealed as yet, for appraising the reports as they are given. There will be a dinner for the district presidents on the evening of April 27. Each district president, will resent the new president of clubs in her district, and Mrs Beasley will present for installa tion two district presidents recently appointed by Mrs. Rankin to fill vacancies cccuring since the dis trict meetings last fall, namely, Mrs. S. P. Gay of Waynesville, for district one, and Miss Eleanor Sutton of New Bern, for district 1— Still another highlight at the con vention will be the awarding of war service pins by none other than the president of the General Federation, Mrs. John L. White hurst. Many club women have qual ified to wear the beautiful pin, but only members of the executive bogrd and the war service com' mittee will receive them at the convention. From General Federation head quarters a new and separate ques tionnair has gone to all club pres idents. It asks for specific informa tion covering war service that is needed so the great work now be ing done by women may be re corded for posterity. One of the pertinent questions asked is, “Are members of your club in favor of drafting women for War Service? If so, women of what ages. Club presidents, desiring a lively meet ing, might present that topic for discussion, it is suggested. In a recent bulletin Mrs. White hurst issues a warning against po litical appointees representing United States at the peace ttable at the close of war. “A Wom-an’s viewpoint Is also necessary”, Mrs. Whitehurst says. “Women suffer the most poignant grief from war, also they are purchasers of 85 per cent cf the consumer products in this country. It is the desire of the clubwomen that a woman of the United States be appointed to sit at the peace table.” To help clubwomen in securing a thorough knowledge of peace proposals to date, Mrs. Whitehurst has prepared a hand-book or quiz that may be obtained free from headquarters, 1734 N. Street N. W., Washington. The Gastonia Woman’s club has voted to turn its clubhouse over to the Red Cross for the summer months. Mrs. H. P. Farrell was re-elected president of the club for another year at its last meeting. ..in POSTAGE SHOES/ $7.95 Among well dressed men Portage Shoes are a mark of distinction.
