WOMEN'S CLUBS FORM
COMMUNITY CLUB
IN BRAWLEY

An interesting development in the
club hfeof Imperial County has recent
" been announced in Bfawley. The
merging of the two women S clubs in
that city has been under consideration
for some time, though it was not gen
orally known in federated club circles
sf the county. But now that the mer-
ger has been accomplished, it becomes
i matter of general news that will in
tcrest the readers of this department
of the Press very greatly.
The two clubs merged are the Braw-
/ ley Woman S Club and the Brawley
Mothers Club These two organiza-
tions have been operating in that city
for several years, doing much the same
work. and because the leaders believe
in the federation motto, United
Strength Is Strongest, they have eff
fected the merger which will bring the
members together under the one name,
The Mother 5 Community Club.
Committees are at work on the con
stitution and bylaws under which the
new organization will operate, after
which officers will be elected depart
nlcnts organized and standing commit
tees appointed.
The Brawlev Woman 5 Club is the
oldest of its kind in the valley, having
been organized in 1904, four years be
fore the Ten Thousand Club of this
city came into existence. 1t was first
of the valley clubs to federate with the
district and state and is the only one
that belongs formally TO the General
Federation of Women 5 Clubs 1t has
at all times been active, aggressive
club, interested in every phase Of
Brawlev life, and contributing much
to the establishment of educational,
civic and social ideals that have made
Brawlev notable among the towns of
the valley.
The Mothers Club was organized in
more recent wears for the primary pur-
pose of promoting child welfare IN the
community. To this organization,
Brawley in large measure owes its love
lv little park which is the admiration
not only of that city but of the en-
tire valley. Through the work and in
fluenee of the. Mothers Club, play
ground apparatus has been added from
wear to year, sanitary eonveniences
have been we'll provided, and the paTN
has been kept up in every way.
The club has worked for the schools,
besides doing other community work of
note. II is not federated WIN the d.s-
trict or state but has been an aetive
force in the Imperial County Fedora
ti0n since 1918.

SOMETHING TO REPAIR.

In spite of pressing affairs at home. lively interest eenters in the conference of allied statemen in session in London. It k hoped greatly that out of this conference there may come the long g-delayed coherent plan for the economic res toration of Europe. Whether there does or not will depend upon wheth- CT politics or economies really en- gagcs the center of the stage.
 It is only through repeated con ferences that clearance of the sit- nation can come. In the meantime there is one fundamental fact which should not be forgotten in Euope or over here. That Is. that where responsibility for the war rests. there also rests the burden of pay ment for the war. Another is that Germany emerged from the war with practically undamagcd eco homie machine which she has wreck cd since.
 The head of the Belgian dolega- tiop. M. Jasper. puts the case neat ly. We are making every possible sacrifice" he explains. but imme- diate reparation is necessary. not for pleasure hut because there is something to repair This little fact is sometimes obseured in all the talk about it. but it remains fact just the same.
