ing, February 10. at 10 o'clock. in the

ommend at this meeting that every
club in the federation hold its election
Of officers after this year in Febru-
airy. in order for the newly elected
officers names to appear IN the Fed
GRAFTON Annual This is more import
ant than the average member realizes
unless she has been an officer.
1 hope that the members will come
to the board meeting prepared TO say
their clubs will grant this request
On account of the very early date OF
the biennial this year. April %. the
district meeting will be a month ear
Tier than has been customary. but we
must accustom ourselves to the IN
usual during war times. It is my
plan to attend all the district meet
ings-it is more than my plan. It is
my privilege. I am expecting to catch
an inspiration from these for the re-
mainder of the year.
At the board meeting in December
it was recommended that the districts
include in their programs 4 speaker
on conserving foods-Woman's great
part in winning the war. The district
presidents are reminded that this vi
tai question be presented by the best
speaker possible to secure. The dis
trict meetings are the backbone Of the

Tn this, my first greeting OF the
new year, my earnest wish is that
each Of you is seriously at work
On the plan OF war service presented
to the federation at Waco and adopted
by the delegates there as the fedora
ton war work for the Texas clubs.
This plan. as most OF you know, is
to establish recreational canteens in
the Texas towns having adjacent
army camps. The Red Cross is taking
care Of the relief work OF our soldiers
at home and abroad. All Of US are
giving ourselves to this splendid. and
absolutely necessary work-if any
woman who possibly can, is not. she
is Stacker. Ny plan is to have
committee secure the data Of the ex-
act number Of Federated club women
doing Red Cross work. It Is our be-
lief that out Of 10000 there will be
but few not doing Red Cross work Of
some kind. This Is as It should be.
We must never cease our relief work
Tor our soldiers, but we are urged to
do all we can; in fact, work and then
more. Ny next question is what are
you $4,000 Federated club women do
ing for the soldiers leisure hours?
How are you giving your pledged aid
in the recreational canteensf There
Is no rest while we are at war.
The time for our board meeting Is
drawing near, as the meeting VIII be
held in Fort Worth on Tuesday morn
