president of the New Jersey State
Federation of Woman's Clubs, yes

tea of the local club in the Presby-
terrain chapel. That vas the ont
standing message in her inspiring adj
dress although many i~njunctions
concerning the future policy and
aims of the club led up to this all
Important fact.
Mrs. Proal recommended the study
of The Technique of Finance" as
a part of the clubs program for next
year and she urged the appoint
ment of capable and interested
chairman in the various deparl-
ments. Her laudative remarks con
corning the Women's College in New
Brunswick, were a realization of the
women present of its fundamental
importance, not only TO the state. but
to Middlesex county.
Mrs. Proal was one of many fed
GRAFTON and president guests present
at this Federation meeting of the
cit b. several of whOm we're Helping
Guests" in their interesting remarks
before the club. Mrs. Mary p. Dan
iel, third district vice president of
the state federation, whose presence
at previous club meetings has been
a great addition, endorsed Mrs.
Proals statements most heartily.
Mrs. A. Clayton Clark, a former
president of the local club, told of
the work that the Perth Amboy
member is proud to display as their
accomplishments during the past
year. Particularly did she empha-
sise the political study class. the ap-
pointment of mn on the various
city boards, the work of the legisla-

Enthusiasm" was the keynote of
Mrs. f. II. Boynton's address or
rather statements of the remark
able feats of the Woodbridge Wom-
ans Club, of which she is president.
This club, organized but a short time
ago has increased with startling
rapidity in membership. Their abil-
ity TO raise money is most creditable
and as a social and civic example
they compose the leading club in
Woodbridge.
The district clubs in Avenel, Fords,
HopelaWn and Sewaren seem to be
the secret of the Woodbridge Clubs
success.
Mrs. r. p. Mason, president of the
South Amboy Woman's Club. an
other comparatively new member of
the federation, wildly described the
work of the South Amboy Club, par
ticularly emphasizing the delightful
meetings. Their feature is a sunshine
committee to visit the sick and take
them flowers.
Mrs. George Bennett, president
of the Asbury Park Club as the
concluding guest speaker, reported

theirs in the near future. This club
is quite advanced and has already
studied finances as a part Of their
programs for the year of 192O-21.
