 The clubs attendance record for November was 94.32 per cent. In November of last year the average attendance was 98.13 per cent.
 The directors of the club at a re- cent meeting voted to add three new sets of Vocational Careers Mono graphs to the series already given to the Naugatuck high school library. A report from the librarian showed this group of pamphlets to be among the most extensively used of any, thing in the library.
 Mrs. Henry c. Erk, president, was chairman of the monthly meeting of the Naugatuck Republican Wom- ems club held last evening at the home of the vice-president, Mrs. Asa L. Fuller. Mrs. Clarence Fen- niman, Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Erk reported on hte testimonial dinner given in Hartford, Nov. 20 by the Connecticut Council of Republican Women to Governor Raymond E. Baldwin.
 At the suggestion of Mrs. Erk, members of the Naugatuck club brought to the meeting Christmas presents for the children of the Naugatuck Day Nursery. Santa Claus will add these gifts to his pack when with the assistance of Mrs. John J. Wrinn, chairman of the entertainment committee of the Day Nursery association, Santa Claus visits the nursery on the af- ternoon of December 19. Mrs. Thomas M. Bull, president of the Day Nursery association was expect ed as guest of honor last evening to receive the gifts brought or sent by members of the Republican club.
 Mrs. Bull, however, was detained by illness and talk about the his- tory of the nursery was given by Miss Sophie Brown, secretary of the Day Nursery Association. Miss Brown stressed the unique position held by the nursery in the hearts of Naugatuck people from the time of it's beginnings in 1911. She said that the thirty-three children could not be cared for in as able a fashion were it not for the members of the association and by many friends who send gifts through the year. "The nursery has been especially fortunate in its superintendents who have shown thrift in buying and use of materials, while they use sympathy and human understand ing toward nursery families"
