Club efficiency has increased
greatly this year, and interest TAX
EN- in club activities testifies to their
influence in a community, Mrs. Al
bert E. Jones, Lisbon, state president,
declared this morning in her annual
report at the opening session Of the
North Dakota Federation of Wom-
ems clubs.
We have tried to emphasize the
work of each of the departments, and
at the same time keep before ur-
selves the plans and ideals of the
general federation, Mrs. Jones said.
"In considering the results of the
past year, / am proud and grateful
that so many able minds are willing
to keep in tune with modern condi-
tions," the speaker said. Summarize
ing some of the years achievements,
she pointed to the excellent response
to the IA point honor roll.
"Our insurance contest" said Mrs.
Jones, (which teaches protection in
the home, has been good. The essay
contest on Religion in the Home
has received such a large response
that we know mothers mean to en-
courage religious training, especial
~ in the early years of the child.
Our statewide radio programs this
last season have been most crafty
ing. The club institute, now in its
second year, almost doubled its at
tendance.
"Our booster campaign stimulat-
ed interest in the home town, and
promoted a better acquaintance
among communities in neighboring
counties. 1t proved that club women
could be 9 great force for citizenship
and loyalty to home interests.
I'VE made ar enviable record in
increasing the subscription list of
the General Federation News, thus
obtaining fifth place on the subscrip-
ton honor roll at the Denver bien-
NAL.
Other projects commended by the
speaker were the plan used by the
committee on cooperation with war
veterans. to help the war heroes in
q practical way, and the department
tai teas, which have been most sue
cessful wherever held.
Mrs. Jones reviewed major ac-
Invites Of the year, mentioning her
pleasure ut the fine part North Da-
kota club women took in the Denver
biennial, and the thoroughness with
which clubs have carried on their
varied activities.
1T is my earnest wish that this
year has brought a STRENGTHENING of
the bonds Of understanding and good
will" MIS-. Jones said, that clubs
have learned their high mission is
to assist, through the influence of
each individual club woman. the
building Of better ~citizenry based on
intelligence and character.
IF / have helped to bring to each
Of you the fact that state and gen.
eral federation and individual club
is not an idea to be exploited, but an
idea to be expressed, we have made
the first STEP" declared Mrs. Jones.
We should seek to show this in serv-
ice. in kindness, in thoughtfulness,
in elimination Of selfish motives, SO
that concerted action may show its
strength in development.
Federation is concerted action,
which is better than individual &C
ton. for it makes q firm base for the
building OF q healthy and happy com
munity."
In closing Mrs. Jones expressed
her gratitude to Mrs. John Burke,
general convention chairman. and to
the women of Bismarck and the
eighth district, who have made such
an interesting convention.
