3 her opening remarks. I'VE have been /
10 thinking In little groups an our lives, |
but now we are IN the world battles" " |
! she said The first and most impor-
: iant thing for us TO do. now that clti- |
: zcnship has come to US, is for us TO |
know and 30 understand the upheaval |
that Is going on around us at all
D times. Club women have gone through
Z q quarter Of a century Of club train
Z ing, never realizing that now, we are

. In speaking Of politics. Mrs. Win
ter said: Politics, like charity, be-
gins at home. First. women should
!. know what is going on In your dis
y iriCt, your precinct, your city, then
II progress 70 the national affairs. After
u your group IN your town or district
? have elected a Representative, lel your
: attitude be not so much what can
e ne do for our group as what can he
do for the United States

for betterment which the womcns
clubs could be II they would co
\ operate more. I'VE can do little
I alone. But with cooperation we are
great. As big advances as women
have made recently they have yet 10
learn the value Of cooperation. She
Z urged that all women interested. IN
IS club work cooperate with The girls
n that work in the factory. so that they
" may have the best surroundings IN
n, this world"
y She touched upon the great respon-
:, sibhity Of motherhood and said that
i women as the administrators OF the
~ money OF the household, should use
" ID with the thought OF makig the
\, home a place 10 train her children TO
, he fine citizens, and that to neglect
10 this duty was as bad as injecting
- poison into their veins.
- In speaking Of the upset condition
Ie Of the present times she said that She
., believed that the spirit - unrest was
~ due a deep craving 'Or happiness
"a without the ability 10 grstify It,
~ "Our fOrefathers talked OF mans
u right 10 life, liberty and the pursuit
p OF happiness" said Mrs. Winter.
10 MANY OF us think only Of life and
IAlniINN anu AWAAfN ANAN pursuit VI MnI~
Tiness. That Is what life and liberty
is for. or course. happiness does not
mean a constant round of idle pleas
ure The government bureau OF edu-
cation should have some place for
the instruction OF this most important
ih.le:. the proper pursuit OF happi-
ness"
r Mrs. Winter urged mat an women
* give back into this world as much as
I'd they get. She said, ITO make your
le self a worth while person In this
&c world you must give back as much
CT as you get. Now that there are so
~ many federated club women In this
ir world we are going 10 get the best
out OF life, and give It. Mrs. Win

Is, club work and proved an entertaining
