Amt 1t The Truth Now?

During the past few weeks a large
number of meetings have been held in
this country demanding the resumption
of trade relations with Soviet Russia.
That all these meetings are inspired

States senator from North Dakota, the
only spokesman the Nonpartisan
League has in the Senate, before a

United States would return to normal

Community House is Playing IMPORTANT
Part in Social and Civic Work of this Ctty

Since its opening day in the latter
part OF the year 1913, the Commuu-
ity House that second child of
The Woman's Club, organized
through the efforts of the civic de-
partment, has become an important
medium of social and civic work
and a factor which the city could
scarcely do without. Especially
among the foreign population and
the children of foreign born par
ents has it been effective, bringing
to them the rue American customs
and affording them the necessary
place in which to meet and learn 10
do things in the American way.
The opening of the Community
House was the beginning of the
Community House Association, later
known as the Community Associa-
ton, formed last May at the home
of Mrs. Adrian Lyon with a great
many of the prominent ONE of
the city as directors, some to serve
one year. others two years and still
others for a term of three years.
Under the direction of the first pres
dent, Mrs. Theodore Degenring,
whose term was necessarily short,
because of her removal to Elizabeth
the excellent work of the ~associa-
ton was begun and later continued
by Mrs. c. C. Baldwin. the first vice
president, becoming acting president
upon Mrs. Degenring's resignation.
The work of the association has
been to support the Community
House and its organization has been
much similar to that of the Day
Nursery Association, another civic
improvement made possible through
this department of the Woman's
Club.
The present president is Mrs.
Adrian Lyon. the ~instigator of the
home, who at a very recent meeting
of the association was unanimously
elected to the office. Meetings are
held every month in the auditorium
of the library. At this time the re-
ports of the committee are heard
and especially interesting is the re-
port of Mrs. Edith NJ. Cruise, the
resident hostess of the Community
House. who takes entire charge of
all the activities therein. The
event foremost in the minds of the
members at present is the card
party scheduled for next Wednesday
night in the Parish House in Rec
tor street. The purpose of the party
is to raise money SO that the foreign
ome of the city may be taught
the English language and learn to
become worthy American citizens.
For some tipe this has been one
of the important objects of the as
ISOLATION and it is hoped that the
event will not only spell the word
success from social standpoint, but
that a large sum of money will be
raised to further this much needed
work.
I'm unity there is strength" and
bearing this in mind the resident
hostess, Mrs. Cruise, has been active
in organizing clubs to meet weekly
at the Community House. She has
been moset careful to include many
of the nationalities as possible. The
original purpose of the house was
to bring the native and foreign born
people together In their association.

A. 1t is &C very good plan to lei
your, baby take his airing on the
porch. Have him well wrapped up
and protected from cold and wind,
feeling his hands and feet occasion
ally to see if they are warm. If you
have accustomed him TO staying out

he may spend a large part of his
