CLUB FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN
Meeting At Empire Theatre Monday
 Night

The news that Putnam is soon to have an organization for girls and women has been welcomed by all who have deplored the lack of clean recre- ation and social amusements in the town. The girls themselves have been wishing for club for some time, but have not been willing to attempt the formation of one without outside aid Now the Women's Division of the State Council of Defnese has offered to help the girls of any town who are willing to help themselves and to that end have sent two of their secre- taries to look over the ground in this district. During the past week, Miss Myra Smith. secretary of large club in Willimantic, has visited all the mills in town to enlist the support of the officials and, wherever possible, to talk to the girls personally The feel ing has been universal that some or ganization should be formed; and this sentiment has been equally felt by the girls in stores and offices.
 To crystalize these plans and lay groundwork for permanent body. all the girls and women of Putnam are asked to attend a mass meeting. which Is to be held next Monday night in the Empire theatre at o'clock Moving pictures of general interest will be feature of the program and Miss Smith will tell of the club life as she has seen it and the possibility of its adaptation here.
 The aim will be to secure a room or rooms centrally located which may be a general meeting place for the girls, and may be used for classes which will tend to increase the use fitness and happiness of all young women in Putnam. Frequent socials must be feature and in time the club should come to be looked on as a real force in the community life
 The work of the Council of De fense here will be duplicated in all other sections of Connecticut. The state is to be divided into four dis triots with a field secretary for each one who will organize clubs and keep them in good running order un- til the girls are able to be independ- ent The northeastern district is be ing developed first because of the large number of women in textile in dustries employed here
 If you are interested in this effort to keep the home fires burning. do not fail to attend Mondays meeting.
