NeW Club Formed
Dedicated TO the
Ideal of Loyalty
BY Lenora ReimboIt.

Democracy, sincerity and original
ity will govern the women who rep
resent the American faction Of the
Progress club in the organization Of
their new club. The organization for
which the base OF its foundation was
laid Friday afternoon at a meeting
with Mrs. George w. Hawkins. 500
s. Lafayette blvd, will be known as
the South Bend WOman's club.
The women no longer able to
stand the tyranny of the old school
leadership which stood alone for
selfish motives and tolerated the
truly un-American actions of certain
of its members have banded them
selves together to form this new
club.
The organizers displayed no feel
ing OF ill-will toward the other sec
ton OF the club beyond expressing
their regret that the name of the
club should become. so smirched
that further affiliation with it would
brand them as unpatriotic citizens.

The members spent the entire
time discussing the new phases of
their club and through a unanimous
vote decided 10 take up Red Cross
