The election of Mrs. Wilbur w.
Hubbard yesterday as president OF
the Woman's National Democratic
Club calls to mind the fact that
President Roosevelt's advent to the
presidency and subsequent eStab-
liShment Of the Civilian ConServa-
ton Corps brought vindication to
Mrs. Hubbard concerning an idea
of hers.
During the Hoover regime when
unemployment was reaching new
highs, Mrs. Hubbard read a paper
before the Woman'S National
Democratic Club in which she ad-
vocated putting unemployed men
to work in the country's forests.
This paper was read into the Con-
gressional Record by the late Sena-
tor Tom Walsh. The recommend
alton was turned over to proper
authorities for consideration, and
with the establishment of the CCC
plan by President Roosevelt, Mrs.
Hubbard saw her idea realized.
Mrs. Hubbard succeeds Mrs. Ed
ward B. Meigs as president of the
Woman's National Democratic
Club, which yesterday marked the
fourteenth annual meeting.
Former Democratic National
Committeeman Clem Shaver was
the honor guest and speaker at the
dinner last night, the concluding
event of the days program. Mrs.
Meigs presided at the dinner.
Under the auspices of the Sodal-
ity Union Literary Group, the Rev.
Father Wilfred Parsons, s. j., of
Georgetown University, will talk
on '"The Catholic Press" tomorrow
at $3.50 p. m, in Notre Dame Hall.
