are convinced that recreation director,
a civic secretary or social organizer for
the people OF the community could be
one of the most helpful of all officials.
S. Let US get in line with the above,
secure the youthful enthusiasm and re-
newed inspiration, by seeking out our
young women just out Of high school
and college and give them a place to
work with US. Rather, let US work
with them.
6. They could help with the vital
work Of securing better plays in our
towns: They could do more than we
in securing active the cooperation Of
the people, young and old. Thus de-
veloping the gifts and talents within a
town or city itself. We should not
depend upon some superhuous street
fair" or artificial amusements instead OF
the talent OF the individual and COM
munity. We must see that the motion
pictures are a mighty social force in
the community. No board OF censor
ship in New York can do this Tor US.
We must do it in each town.
7. The use OF leisure is vital to any
community, Through its right use we
can unity community more effectively
than in any other way. Thus we can
bring about better conditions along
every line. The MAY Fiesta" is one
simple and effective way of uniting the
people for the pure Joy and beauty OF
it. Any town can carry out such a
Fiesta" making it simple or elaborate
as desired. The MAY Fiesta given
by 1000 girls at the University of Wash
ington was one of the most exquisite
scenes we have witnessed. A NUM-
cipal Christmas" tree could be made
another unifying force.
8. The child welfare exhibit held
in Seattle in June was a distinct ad-
vance for our coast. This is being
sent over the state, the clubs paying
the transportation from place to place.
Let US know if you desire it in your
town.
g. In one OF the eastern states a
School Survey" day was appointed
when every school in the state was in
vited by the people Of the community.
The evening was devoted to meetings
at the school houses, where people
discussed the schools. We might ask
our state superintendent and Governor
to appoint such day for Washington.
Civics touches the life Of the COM
munity at every point. Municipal laws,
health and municipal clean
illness, beauty, literature, education, art
and music. Let US cooperate with
every agency in our several communi-
ties, seeking to improve conditions.
Let as initiate where others are not
actively at work. We must be thor
oughly conversdnt with the wisest meth
and so keep in touch with the best
civic literature as follows:
At least one copy Of each should be
in the public Libraries and clubs. A
copy of Social Forces" set of the
'Women's Citizens Library" the
General Federation Magazine" The
Survey of New York City," The
American City," and Welfare" 81.
per year published in Seattle.
All the resolutions passed at our
state federation meeting at Raymond
were worthy your consideration and
earnest effort to realize. Read each
and every one. At this time I call
your attention to two Of them:
Resolved that the Washington State
Federation OF Women's clubs endorse
the project OF a Woman's building at
the University Of Washington, such
building to serve for all the activities
Of the women Of the university.
Such a building is not an extra"
but an absolute necessity, and we
should urge our representative in the
Legislature to support measure for a
"woman's building"
The second resolution which it is
important that we should consider and
give our earnest support is
Recognizing the economic and
moral loss that inevitably follows the
use oflintoxicating liquor as beverage,
