ule too big, but some part of the national schedule might be followed
 thus putting us in line with the na- tional and state Fedora ton plans SC ! far as we go, and giving to such indi- vidual clubs all the advantages of whatever program outlines and other | literature may be put out by either | national or state chairmen.
 Another new thing which I had | hoped to inaugurate this year I do now pass on as a recommendation to the incoming new administration. IL l is that cur Central Arizona District 1 Federation issue a small magazine or bulletin of club news and announce ments and matters of general interest to our own particular clubs. This is one of the progressive things coming out in some other states, and some samples sent me have been most at tractive. The carrying of a suitable kind of advertising can be made to cover all expense.
 Press and Publicity has come to be recognized as so important a feat ure of club welfare that an entirely new department has been created for it in the National Federation. Ohio is the banner state in Federation publicity work. General Federation News for February says, in part The wide publicity given club work in Ohio is due to the CO., o-operation of state Federation officers, depart ment chairmen and individual clubs and to the efforts of the state press chairman, Mrs. George Mccormick of President Hardings paper, the Mar ion Star, who is a trained newspaper woman and who. by giving the news l ,f they want in a form they do not need to edit has each week a club column in eighty Ohio papers. Because of what Mrs. Mccormick and the club women are doing in Ohio can be done in other states, the national chair man of press and publicity has asked Mrs. Mccormick to tell just how she carries on her work She says: "The publicity of the Ohio Federation is made of news sent to me from the club women themselves, who tell what their clubs are doing, from chairmen about their departments. from messages from our president, who tells what she wants the club women to do-in fact, from all off cers. The messages that are sent to our state president from the General Federation are sent to me and I pass them along. Every week I boil this news down into the form I send out. :"
 Mrs. McCormick's name and ad- dress appear on all Ohio Federation stationary, so the clubs may know to whom to send their news
 Now, as never before. with her new privileges holding her to new respon- abilities. must woman read and in form herself and think. Calvin Cool idge is quoted as saying: "Ciovern- iS m hn founders turn over to posterity all completed It is an institution, like a university, which fails unless the process of education continues
 Two things" says our own Mrs. Winter, this country needs from it's women-needS pre- eminently while the world is in turmoil-sane think ing and consecrated action. Sane thinking means that we shall really inform ourselves as to the issues of the day. educational. industrial. so- cial, political, and that we shall in fuse our knowledge with high ideal ism along the lines of Americas $ greatest traditions. We shall not be swept away by the confused half fledged judgments that prevail today n many places.
 "Consecrated action means that we shall not rest content with mere in formation. but shall regard our knowledge as the preparation for dipping deep into constructive ser vice. We are club women in order that our knowledge and oul. action shall be in large groups and there fore effective, instead of singly and therefore ineffective
 I think I have long realized that the club woman's place in the nation , ic 1f l@,T opportunity and great, genuine worth. and it is with deep and sim cere regret that I find myself obliged by private duties to retire at this time from further active participation in club work. I take this opportunity of thanking my splendid executive board for their efficient service. and you, the Central Arizona District Federation of Women's clubs. for the spirit of good fellowship and loyalty that has made my administration-to me-a joy and a labor of love.
