W0MEN'S CLUBS
HAS 5000 MEMBERS

Portland. Me. May 1o.-The Maine Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs now has over
5000 members. Mrs. Ezra White, CORE
spending secretary of the organizations
having in cooperation with the president.
Mrs. Grace A. Wing. compiled a roster
of the actual membership. In every town
where more than one club exists the
names of members of each club have
been obtained. and the lists as they now
stand show the actual individual mem
bership.
Six thousand and two hundred are the
ganization and this is. as must be ac-
knowledged. a mighty force for good The
work has been arduous and is not entirely
finished, but the satisfaction expressed
by the members of the organization at
its size has more than repaid for the
work 1t was thought that in cities like
Portland and Lewiston, where a union
exists that was once z union Of smaller
clubs, that there would be much dupli-
cation.
1t has been surprise to learn that at
the present time the small clubs are not
identified to any extent with the organ
ization While clubs have now but one
or two belonging to these unions and the
membership has correspondence changed
A conservative estimate Of the number
belonging to the Maine Federation had
been made at between 1000 and 5000.
The tabuaton of names shows conclu-
sively that the strength of the Maine
Federation is in the town club. not in the
large cities.

would be realized, he urged the i'm
portance Of emphasizing the funda-
mentals for which the Pilgrim fore

velopment of character which be-
queathed the grand principles upon
which the nation is founded.

rificant steps in the denominational
work.

the result of the influx of foreign-speak-
ing peoples, and of meeting these needs.

comers feel at home and of showing a
