WOman's Club Notes
Domestic Science Department

Monday afternoon the Domestic
science department of the Water
vile womans club held it's last meet
ing of the season at the home of
Mrs. Frank Austin, Burleigh street.
The following officers were elected
Tor the ensuing year: chairman, Mrs.
Z. Il. b. Walker; vice chairman,
Mrs. George Williams; secretary,
Mrs. Salmon; treasurer, Mrs. Charles
Davis; flower committee, Mrs. Frank
Austin; program, Mrs. Arthur Buck
ner. Mrs. Nivison, Mrs. Otto Larsen:
hostess committee. Mrs. James Jack
son and Mrs. Stubbert.
The program was Of unusual in
terest. Mrs. A. T. Drummond gave
very interesting talk on Parlia-
mentary Law. Mrs. Arthur Buckner
spoke on the history and significance
or Patriots Day, a. reading by Mrs.
keene OF Clinton was much appre-
ciated; a song by Mrs. Page and the
program for the afternoon ended with
singing America.
A delicious covered dish supper
was served and the hostess. Mrs.
Austin, was assisted by Mrs. Corson,
Mrs. Dearborn and Mrs. Wheeler.
This department has as usual held
many very instructive demonstra-
tions of food preparations, and held
many enjoyable meetings during the
past year.
Once more those club women who
have enjoyed DIR. Wilkinson's talks
during the winter on E'National and
International Affairs" met in Library
hall Tuesday evening to listen to an
other discussion of these matters.
| His lecture took the form of a sum-
mary of previous talks, contrasting
conditions when these lectures began
with the present conditions.
DIR. Wilkinson referred also to the
greater space now being given by
Newspapers to foreign news. He said
| that the United States no longer had
the provincial mind of several years
ago. Travel has done much to unite
people of different parts of America
and other countries.
He stated that the present situation
| is rather discouraging and that we
| still have a long distance to go from
| the jungle to complete civilization,
| and that there are many things to
cause encouragement in regard to the
disarmament conference, which is like
| ly to prove a failure, and that Rus
sia's attitude is among these, but that
we ought to suspend Judgment in re-
gard to Russia if possible.
The speaker referred also as an
other point of encouragement the sit
| uation in Rumania at present; and fur
Their, Mussolini does not want disarm-
ament.
At the close of the evening there
was an animated discussion in regard
to Germany being responsible for the
| World War. Historians at present are
claiming about equal responsibility for
Russia and France, said DR.. Wilkinson.
Certainly these lectures have brought
! much information and pleasure to the
, club this winter.
