Rita Reardon to Discuss
European Experiences

Europe occupies the spotlight in
today's news and in everyone's
thoughts and for this reason the
Ten Thousand clubs program on
Thursday is of special interest, since
Rita Freeman Reardon of San
Diego will talk on What I Saw
in Europe in 1899"
Mrs. Reardon's talks are always
delightful as she is possessed of a
keen wit, and the ability to draw
clearcut vivid pictures SO that her
listeners really feel that they have
had a trip themselves after listen
ing to her.
However, this time, Mrs. Reardon
could be as dull as ditchwater IN
stead of as sparkling as she always
is. and still hold her listeners at
tention since her topic is of such
paramount Importance. Mrs. Rear
don spent the summer months in
Europe, just prior to the outbreak
of hostilities, and what she saw
at this time will form the subject
for her talk Thursday.
Few people have been privileged
to enter Spain as tourists under
General Frances regime, and Mrs.
Reardon is one of these few. Her
talk will emphasize conditions in
Spain as they now obtain at the
conclusion of the Spanish civil war.
In addition to Mrs. Reardon's
talk. which will take place at the
conclusion of the business meeting,
the club will also hear w. w. Nc
Euen in a brief summary of the
Thirty Dollars Every Thursday"
measure. Mr. McEuen can make a
complicated subject clear and ap-
parently simple to his listeners and
his analysis of the measure will be

essentials. Mrs. Currier emphasized
the portion dealing with the Japa-

their religion, their politics and the

their present course of action. De-
