The Club Annual fills a much need
ed want in Penns Grove-the coming
together socially of the community ir-
respective of Church utilization or
social etiquette getting acquainted

something pleasing and interesting to
hand out in a social way. There is a
need of more real social Democracy.

The Woman's Club has Carried on"
every patriotic demand made by our
Government. 1t has given loyal sup
port to every patriotic service, Red
Cross, Food Administration, Woman's
Committee of Council of National De-
tense and Liberty Loans. In all the
Drives" the Woman's Club has had
its workers in the field, not doing the
spectacular big things-but in the
wearisome house to house work-that
was oft times discouraging and gave
small material return for energy ex-
pended and yet theirs was the mission
to carry American propaganda where
it would not otherwise have reached.
The Club has contributed financially
to the Red Cross, to the F~ederation's
Soldiers Club House at Camp Dix, to
the pines" and educational service of
the State Federation for stamping out
illiteracy in the Pine section of New
Jersey. In the days to come the Club
will "stand by" ready to give support
TO any Reconstruction Measure asked
by our Government and now that
there is a letting down of War activ-
tiles the organization hopes to lake up
more actively local betterment inter-
ests.
