STATE FEDERATION NOTES
BT HR& W. T. BOST.
Mrs. Louis F. Owen, publicity chair
man of the Wlnston-Balem Woman'
' club, has ent in the following Inter
esting account of the varied activi
ties of that splendid organization:
"The Woman's club of Winston-Salem,
organised a few months ago,' is
' perhaps unique among the clubs of
North Carolina in its formation. The
unusual feature Is the raci mac u
ever broadening scope. The club mem
bers .hope, before many months, to
center their efforts upon securing a
home for themselves, feeling that in
an Irnrtm unit zrowlnit a community a
Woman's club buhdlng la a real neces
sity."
That same enthusiasm that made
poslble the early completion of the
endowment fund Is being evidenced in
did not use as a nucleus the several the work among the districts of which
small clubs already existing nor did
'.' it absorb them as organisations.
These ten or twelve clubs' have by no
'' means lost their Identity, though most
j of their members have also become
' member of the Woman's .club.
"The-Woman's club a membership
;: nf 800 was organised in a truiy aem
ocratlo, American manner, with doors
spread wide to all women of the com-
munlty who felt an interest in club
work. A little body of women rep
.' resenting some of the small clubs of
the city formed tnemseives mio a
t commlttee and invited the State fed
. eration president 'to meet with (hem
in an advisory session-concerning the
organisation of a Woman's' elub and
emphasising its advantages from a
, community standpoint. Membership
" cards bad been provided which were
signed by almost 200 at the Initial
ii meeting. The following officers were
elected: President, Mrs. H. E. Xlond.
'.. thaler vice-presidents, Mrs. H. L.
Xtlggin and Mrs, Burton Cra1e re
cording secretary, Miss EldTnor Fol-
' tin:
Margaret Blair; treasurer, Miss Ida
v' Brown Eflrd.
' "At one of the early meetings of
-'the club 'Miss Etta Shaffner, treas-
urer of the County Woman's com ml t
tee of the Council of National Defense
presented the organisation with 1160
' in 'liberty bonds' as a nucleus for a
Woman's club building fund. This
S sum represented the profits of the
community cannery, so, fcbly conduot
ed by Mrs. W, J, Conrad and Miss
" Shaffner, , , j ,
'' s , "8o ' murcb enthusiasm' was abroad
t among the member, that the eight
i, departments of the elub were qulck-
ly formed as follows: Civics) litera-
lure, social aervlce. art. health, mua
'' 1c, education, library extension am)
home economics. A monthly business
v meeting or the entire club Is held
-rf. whena special feature is the open
form where any member may lntrtt
r duce a subject of particular interest
' to women to dlsoussed for mutual
, benefit.' In addition to the advantage
Herived by the members In the de
V partmental work, the club as a whole
Is becoming a growing power in the
' community. This is manifested more
j. and more strongly as the organisation
Is being called 'upon to further various
moves of clvlo interest When bonds
were to be floated by the city If car-
ried In election, the art department
; made a large : number of specially
: attractive posters and In addition the
club members worked individually to
innuenee voters in favor of the bonds,
Mrs. Sidney P. Cooper Is chairman.
Mrs. Coooer is urging distrl presi
dents to hold their meetings Juat as
soon as possible. Thrift is to be
stressed particularly through the pres
dents of the thirteen districts who are
members of the thrift committee of
which Mrs. Eugene Keilley is -president.
The district chairman writes
that she is most anxious for the clubs
to keep in close touch with the prest
dent of their district, notify her of the
good work that is being done, and
work to bring new clubs into the fed
ration. Officers and department
chairmen are asked to make use of
the district meetings as a medium for
bringing a message before the clubs
or announcing any special work they
would have the clubs undertake. The
success 'of federation work depends
largely upon co-operation, co,-opera-
uon oi . ciuos in me aieirict ana dis
