Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-02-01

that we all felt a little more like
Xmas because of its being here in
our midst. Our chairman of Wood-
bridge Civics, Miss Grace Huber,
and her willing interested commit
tee filled over 1000 boxes of candy
for our little children. At our
community sing we listened to
choruses from both parochial and
public schools.
Five rees lighted Xmas v in
our township. doesn't it help to bring
a spirit of friendliness and love
about .'our neighborhood?
As president of this club. / visited
each tree on Xmas eve and as 1
looked at the twinkling lights, a
message from across the ages seem
ed to enter my soul. Peace or
Garth good will to men," and a
prayer went from my heart that
Gods blessing would rest on each
home in our little town of Wood
bridge"
To go back to Sewaren here real
civic work has been done by our
chairman.
First, through her efforts, the
body OF one of our hero boys"
brought overseas, received all due
respect and was buried with mill
tary honors. Mrs. ~Zettlemoyer has
also been the means of placing an
immoral degenerate child In the
Home OF the Good Shepherd in
Newark. Here this child may grow
to be a good clean woman n ac-
cording to latest reports this seems
likely to come true. There's a big
work to be done along just these
lines, and we will do it alone. or will
gladly help our splendid Red Cross,
or the King Daughters whom we all
love, or any other organization. we
do not look for glory or praise-we
only wantyto keep in all ways posi-
BILE to makes our township more a
place worth while in which to live.
We have sent out Christmas
cards to all clubs in the third dis
trict, to our state club officers and
to our township officials. / believe
we are. the first club in our state to
send out these Christmas greet
ings.
We give once a month a splendid
lecture free to the public, men and
women. Everyone is welcome. We
recognize no social position. we are
simply "a unit of women from all
walks of life"
Our social affairs have been many
Guest night, Daughters Day. Len
ten readings. club play. musical tea,
splendid concerts. holiday dance,
May picnic and club luncheon to all
presidents of the third district. We
have had all kinds of sales from
cake to rummage and card parties.
1t has been your presidents pol
icy that each department do
thing, sometime during the year to
make a sum of money to turn into
the main treasury. At each enter
tainment or sale, a different chair
man is in charge. thus interesting a
different group of women. This
keeps up public interest, and makes
everyone responsible. h money
in the treasury belongs to all. to pc
used when or where the need arises.
Our benefit fund Zone of the
things our club has done) is our
pride. Each committee when they
have raised a sum of money. can
turn any amount they wish into
this fund or to the main treasury.
| This money is used in many ways.
We have paid hospital bills, where
| the person was unable to do SO.
| We are always ready to lend money
in cases of special need. to be paid
back at the borrowers convenience,
without interest. This fund is al
ways open for contributions from
any one who wishes to help along
| this good work.
We hope some time in the near
future to endow a bed in the Rah-
wav hospital for township people
unable to afford paying for hospital
care.
Our treasurer has told you how
we have spent since our birth over
$1,000. But you must remember 1t
takes money to keep a club going.
Stationery, postals. posters. adver-
Using, stamps. speakers. ETC.. etc.
At any time the public must feel
| free to ask for AN accounting OF
money. We will gladly answer all
| questions. What we want is your
support. your interest. Won't you
give 1t?
I haven't mentioned each depart
ment in this report, but have simply
tried to tell what the club as a whole
has done. Each committee has
worked along its line in a most ca.
pable way.
At times your president gets dis
