Dsassociaton of joint control heretofore maintained by the Busi- ness and Professional Women's club and the Young women's Christian association in the luncheon club rooms at 2OS1a Twenty-first street, north, has been effected. Correspondence that passed be- tween the two organizations is csi follows:
 Birmingham. Ala, August 6. 1921 Mrs. Robert Jemison. Jr,, Chairman,
 Board of Control, Young Women'sl
 ham, Ala st,str Dear Mrs. Jemison;
 "The Young Womens Christian as- sociation and the Business and Pro- fessional Women's club have been so closely associated for the past sev- eral years it can be only with a feeling of much regret that the Busi- ness and Professional Women's club now ask to be released from its con nection with the association.
 Last year our club grew to such numbers that we found the cafe en- tirely too inadequate for our needs then, too, the large number called for more activities, and we had toI come to the conclusion that both or ganizations could do more effective work if each maintained quarters of it's own. As you know from the re- quest made and notice given at the meeting in May of the joint board of control we have for some time been looking for location, and have just now made definite arrange meuts. We, therefore, ask your as- sociation to release our club Septem- Der l from the present arrangemene of maintaining jointly clubrooms at .0Sis Twenty first street north;
 Tn asking for this release, we wish to thank the Young Women's Christian association and each and every member of the board for the hearty cooperation in our work and the ready sympathy in all our plans for the joint work, and for the sepa- rate work of the club We also wish to thank those members of the Young Momen's Christian associa- ,tion who have kept the rooms so bright with flowers. They have added no little to the pleasure of the business women during the luncheon hours and at all times.
 sIn asking for this release. we think we voice the feeling of all the members of our club when We hope the doors of the " rooms will always be open to us who have come to feel so at home in them; and we know that each and every one oku extends you a most cordial welcome to our new home, and hope you will break bread with ,is.
 Again expressing our heary good will, we ask to be released from the present plan September 1, 1921. Re- spectfully,
 HEADQUARTERS COMMITTEE or
 THE BUSINESS AND PROFES-
 SIGNAL WOMEN'S CLUB.

 pear Friends: We are in receipt of your letter of the Sth, asking for release September 1 from sharing in Twenty-first street, in view of plans you have perfected for operating club rooms of your own.
 we appreciate fully the force of your reasons for this move and are heartily in accord with your state ment of them.
 The club and lunch room project, as initiated by us, and financed by the war work council for a brief beriod only would have seemed too formidable for us to carry on when their financial backing was with drawn had you not shared the burden with us.
 "The experience has, we trust, been mutually helpful and we release you from theA obligation, at your request, with thesmost cordial wishes for your success in the new enterprise. and the hope that we may, severaly as well as together. realize more and more our high hopes for the comfort and welfare of our fellow beings.
 "Thanking you sincerely for your expressions of appreciation and in- terest. and with hearty good will, yours sincerely. BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF Y. ".
