The meeting was well attended

partment chairmen are working
hard at their respective plans for
club and civic betterment.
Mrs. Warren asked that all card
clubs donate the money received at
one meeting to the sewing now
being done at Red Cross headquar-
tiers, the money to be used to pur-
chase thread and buttons for the
garments being made. In making
this request Mrs. Warren stated
that this is not work of the Wom-
ans Club alone, but showed it to
be a community work and explain
ed that every cent of the money
sent here must go for labor and
not a penny may be expended to
purchase material. The club pur-
chased twelve dozen spools of
thread, and a number of members
gave thread and buttons, but more
Of each is needed.
