Jamestown N. D, Oct. 3.-8eing
president of the State Federation Of
Women's clubs brings duties not con-
fined to club work alone.
Mrs. Lyman A. Cary Of Mandan,
state president, delivering presidents
address at the convention here last
night, gave the members peep be-
hind the scenes.
"Mail comes in piles each day. from
every part Of the country on every
conceivable subject" said Mrs. Cary.
cit would seem that people having
any kind Of project to launch first
ask for the president Of the fedora
tion and then write to ask them for
their support
II have been asked to serve on
every kind of a committee, to lend
my name and aid to every new maga-
zine, health fad, every novelty in the
movies besides having theIopportunity
of becoming founder for $1,000 or
life member for 500 to all the new
Foundations and societies which the
fertile mind of man or woman can
conceive. We are asked to aid in OBJ
serving more "weeks' than there are
in the year. Someone had a plan for
a new calendar and we will certain
ly need change if this designating
of special weeks continues"
Reviews Club Work.
Mrs. Cary reviewed not only the
work of the federation in the last
year but also the accomplishments
of the federation since it was or
ganized. Mrs. Cary said in part as
follows: X
"A subject that is interesting club
women everywhere is that of our
young women and their amusements.
We want to keep close to our girls
and all their interests to have them
feel that we are desirous Of helping
them and that we need their help in
our organizations If club women
would take more interest in the
Camp Fire girls and the Girl Scouts
and let them know that we are will
ing to help, it would 60 long way
toward q better understanding of
mothers and daughters. A plan that
has proven most successful. in many
places is the organization. of Junior
clubs of girls FROM fourteen to twen-
ty. letting them have their own offl.
GERS and bylaws and yet having
them feel that they are part of the
women's clubs. One club in the state
reported at the district meeting q
most successful organization of this
kind. The girls met at homes OF
club women and had their own pro-
gram. A special committee on Junior
membership has been formed in the
General Federation with Miss Flor
ence Diebert Of Pennsylvania as
chairman. She will furnish any in
formation or suggestions to clubs
wishing to organize these Junior
clubs. She advocates parties and
dances fof the girls supervised by
the club women. Her idea is that If
you look after the girls you need not
worry about the boys, they will be
alright and be where the girls are.
Internal fonal Relations.
"The subject Iof our relations to
other nations ID one that is upper
most in the minds of thinking peo-
pie today and we should all be better
Informed on all international topics.
We all want peace and the best way
to achieve it seems to be through
better understanding between ma
tions Of the world. One great step
forward was made in the World Con-
ference on Education in San Fran
cisco last June, called by the Nation
81 Education association. For the
first time in history a world confer
ence Of educators was held to discuss
the promotion o. International peace
aad good will through the schools.
