oRTHoPEDIc NOTES

The difficulty Of transportation
is bing overcome by our Island
0rthopedic friends through hold
,ug our meetings in sections. Al
the last regular meeting day a
group of busy sewers met at the
Island Club under the direction
of Mrs. Munson. During the
forenoon fingers and machines
We're kept busy in the interest OF
the two shops in the city, the
Thrift Shop and the Corner Cup
board. Then followed the social
hour over an enjoyable lunch.
The business meeting conducted
by Mrs. Stanley, president, occu-
pied the afternoon session. This
meeting was well attended. Very
interesting reports We're made by
the various committees. All were
enthusiastic and interested.
On the same day an all day meet
ing of Maury Island members and
friends was held at the home of
Mrs. Jones. This section made the
day merry by gathering and can
ming fruit as well as cutting or
a goodly number of garments to
be taken home and made for the
Thrift Shop.
Mis-. Covey has been furnishing
quantities of tomatoes from her
green house which under the lead
ership of Mrs. Clifford Menees are
being canned. Southern Heights
Cove and other localities have been
busy. Thus on our island, one Of
the busiest places in the state OF
Washington, place where our
women are busy with home and
community, there is time, a heart,
and a helping hand for the little
suffering children.
We now have Junior Auxiliary
of which we will hear much in the
future. The Junior movement has
already good start in other places
Kitsap County has organized un-
der the name of the Kitsap Boy
and Girl Club" This organiza-
tion last month collected and sent
to the hospital thirteen eases Of
eggs.
This work with children can be
made to be not only helpful to
those who need their help, but it
is most of all a wholesome and edu-
eational work for those who par
ticipate. There can be no better
training for children than that of
the right kind of service.
