over plans for centralizing Federation
work as much as possible. These
plans will be announced as soon as
Miss Hafford has time to work them

shape for publication and then, proof
reading. Twenty-Five states are hold

changes which may have occurred
since a report sent in the early fall.
81 also urge that clubs forward to
Headquarters at once copy of their
year book or program as these
help the small inexperienced club in
planning programs and in revising
constitutions.
Club papers which would be of as
sstance to those removed from library
facilities will be acceptable, as we'll as
clippings from magazines on up-to-
date club subjects. hope to build up
helpful reference library, and later
on | shall appeal to state declarations
and individual clubs to remember
Headquarters in some way each year,
by donations of books or money.
Mrs. Thomas G. Winter has pre-
sented National Headquarters with a
copy of "Whos Who" and has prom
ised other reference books for the
General Federation reference library.
"There are doubtless many women
who would be glad to follow Mrs.
Winters example if they knew how
little we have to work with and how
urgent is our need.
"The Department of Literature and
Library Extension membership of the
District of Columbia Federation have
promised to form themselves into a
clipping bureau to clip from Magazines
live topics on all subjects of interest
to club women, the eli pings to be filed
and catalogued according to subjects
and placed on record at Headquarters
where they win be accessible to all
clubs or club women. The magazines
from which the clippings will be taken
will be contributed by the club women
OF Washington.
Our next big job viii be to let the
States feel that we are here and that
we have very important function in
the organization, 1 hope to do this
both through personal letters and
through the columns of the News
Bulletin"
