counts of plans used elsewhere the
members decided upon that of having
each contributor earn her money and
relate to the club her experience in
earning it. For this undertaking the
membership is divided into two
groups, working under the manage
ment of Mrs. Littwin and Mrs. Butz.
One member offers to paint woodwork
or furniture one will sell the prod
ucts of her garden; one will do mani
curing; one will take care of chill
dren; one offers to give dancing les
sons, another bridge lessons; one will
bake cakes; one will act as chauffeur.
The guests demanded that Mrs
Studerus sell them her excess of
cakes and pastry prepared for the re-
freshments to start her fund The
original suggestions were very inter-
esting, and the future experience
meetings promise considerable amuse-
ment.
Program Meetings
For the meeting on Friday, October
II, the chairman, Mrs. Schaefer, has
secured Professor Raymond Moley of
Barnard College, who will speak on
current phases of politics.
Each member will be permitted to
bring one guest.
Professor Moley is known to most
of the members through his talks be-
fore the Bergen County Civic Forum
last winter and his radio lectures now
being broadcast by WEAF. The wide
recognition of his work has led to the
creation in Barnard College of a new
department for the study of govern
ment, under his charge. The coming
election will make his analysis of the
political situation particularly inter-
esting at this time.
