The Milford New Century Club held
its regular weekly meeting, Monday,
February q, at $3.50 p. m. The presi-
dent, Mrs. S. C. Evans, Jr., presiding.
After the usual regular business was
a piano duet, waltz Viennoise," by
Mrs. Walter K. Barrett and Mrs. E. G..
Hurley. Mrs. Disston w. Jacobs sang
''Life's Lullaby" Accompanist, Mrs.
E, G. Hurley.
The president announced that Mrs.
Boyer, the Delaware State Federation
President, was present and would
speak. Mrs. Boyer has an interesting
personality and devoted to the work
of which she is presiding officer. She
spoke at length on club and fedora
tions-State and general-showed how
the general federation used its
strength to the State Federation, all
working for a common cause. Said
some mistakes, were made every
where. People who made no mistakes
would be most uninteresting. General
federation is the largest and strong
est of it's kind in the world, represent
ing 10000 clubs, with a membership
of 100000 women. The organization
binds all together for high ideas. Our
state organization represents 1000 wO-
men. Much discussion has occurred
about "Over-OrganizatiOn." 1t is best
not to implicate effort but to dovetail
into the greater organization and be-
come a part of it. The oldest organi-
zation of this kind is the w. C. T. U.
Mrs. Boyer spoke of its success, due
to their working together for one high
aim.
The youngest organization is the
League of Women Voters. This be-
cause new departments must be Or
ganized to meet conditions that arise.
Mrs. Boyer spoke of citizenship in
masterful way. She urged that both
men and women realize their respOn-
sibilities and privileges. America is
doomed, unless her women assume
more responsibility and learn what is
their duty as citizens. She quoted
Mrs. Winter as stating that the real
menace is indifference. Clubs should
get in line for good citizenship. Citi-
zenship and politics are two different
things-good politics are impossible
without good citizenship.
The power of the club women lies
in their state federatiOn-valued unit
ed service. Our aim should be the sis
terhood of women and the fellowship
of high ideals.
Cooperation is the magic key which
unlocks the door of success. We must !
be progressive. We can not stand still. |
We either go forward or backward. |
We must enlarge our vision of life. |
Public opinion lends toward the fru- |
- 1an s.f Of
forts. Women can enfuence public |
opinion.
General federation depends on the
State club. State federation depend on
its individual clubs. The individual
club depends on the personal respon-
sibility by each club member, and each
club member has responsibility unto
herself. Only in part can the club re-
porter bring Mrs. Boyer's message to
all women, whether club members or
not. To have heard her was treat
and an inspiration.
In closing the afternoons pro-
gram, Mrs. Evans, president, announc-
ed that the next meeting would be the
Presidents Club Day" and that it was
her desire that each club child be
brought to that meeting on March 9Th.
