The s. S. League Working For The
Good OF The County.

hittcc Vi inc montgomery county federa-
ton of Women's Clubs was organized at
Rockville October 16. 1914. the president
of the federation having appointed the
members. II was the wish of the presi-
dent to have on this committee member
Of every club of the federation, but for
various reasons some clubs have no rep
resentatives. The committee now num-
bers twenty-one. II is the aim Of this
committee to further in every way possible
the work Of the Social Service League of
Montgomery County by giving information
about it, stirring up interest, and raising
money to help meet the necessary expenses
OF the league, the salaries of the two de-
voted women, the nurse and the secretary.
The clubs are responding heartily, show
ing the faithful work being done by their
representatives on this committee At this
time the money sent to the Social Service
League through the committee amounts to
$97. The Civic Study Club of Garrett
Park leads with $2S. raised by its ener-
getic representative, Mrs. j. Ross Thomp-
son. The Woman's Club of Kensington is
a good second, with $25 to its credit, and
plans made to increase this amount con-
siderably in the near future. The New
comb Club stands next. having sent in
$3.50. This sum is not all from the club
appropriation or membership subscriptions
of 81 each, but has been raised in part by
the members of that club in an ingenious
way.
