The "back row club member!" Her mousy presence is scarcely mo- ticed by the other members
 So often charming intelligent woman is kept from taking a more active part in her club just because she lacks confidence, experience. With information on club work she could easily be as much of a figure in her club as she is now a no body"
 Are you timid about assuming even the minor role of committee member? Serving on a refreshment committee can be fun.
 For the costs, you may draw on the club treasury or assess (not recommended since it upsets the budgeD. But many clubs prefer to ask members to contribute food. In such a case, avoid duplication by assigning food to each member.
 The important post of treasurer needn't worry you, either. To keep members records straight, give each a special page in your account book. In one column list what the member owes in dues, fines and as- sessments, and in the next column what she has paid.
 The duties of secretary? The social committee? You'll find all the inner workings of successful club explained in our 32-page book let. Tells how to organize a club, draw up a constitution; describes club etiquette, duties of officers, members

WOMEN WANT TO HELP, TOO
By RUTH MILLETT (NEA Service Stan writer)

WILL WORK THROUGH OWN ORGANIZATIONS

The plan is for the committee to be guided by board of governors made up of members of the national presidents of all the important womeris organizations in the coun- try.
 That way, the women win get their training and their instruction through the organizations to which they alreday belong.
 Miss Dorothy Brooks, a promi- nent New York lawyer, national commander of theWomen's World War Veterans who acted as chair man of the first meeting of the new defense committee, thinks that ac- tual trainng of women will be under way within the next two or three months.
 She says, Women today fully re- alize that the only way we can meet the emergencies of the future is by being fully prepared. They realize that while women will probably never be needed to fire gun, they can help in their country's defense if they are willing to do whatever small job they are qualified to do."

even consider their usefulness to na- tional defense. The men are the first line of defense-and all attention is being directed toward their training.
 That problem isn't going to stump the women. Swamped with letters asking What can we women do?" the Women World War Veterans re- gently formed national committee to plan women's role in national de- fense. TO MAKE SURVEY
 OF TALENTS
 It first will register all women who were engaged in. active war service in the last year. These women-many of whom won medals for bravery-will be used as teachers in their various fields, whether they were nurses, ambulance drivers, canteen workers, or were engaged in war work in this country. There will be training courses ln home defense, the formation of am- bulance and transport corps, the de- velopment of training facilities for pilots, ground forces, and air am- bulance corps.
 However, all the work won't be in such active fields. There will be a place for the talents of Mrs. Jones who is better equipped to knit and make jelly than to drive an ambu- lance, and for Miss Jones, who is suited to clerical work.
 And there will be education in the matter of propaganda as women are already asking, What can we safely believer"
 Nor will the importance Of the traditional role of women, that of giving moral support and encour- agement to the men of their fam flies be overlooked.

than they had planned to. And the fight gave Willkie national reputation.
 History of Boom
 The Willkie boom for President began on the typewriter of his secretary. clicking out the Willkie philosophy in magazine articles. speeches.
 Gen. Hugh Johnson and Arthur Krock asked newspaper readers why Willkie was not presidential material. Elihu Roots grandson, Oren Root Jr., stepped out of a New York law firm and started Willkie- for President clubs.
 More astonishing was Russel w Davenports reaction to Willkie's article in Fortune" outlining an American creed. Davenport. man aging editor of the magazine, quit his job and went to work for Willkie for President early this spring.
 T tried to tell him I thought he was making a serious mistake says Willkie.
 Worth Half a Million
 Willkie is careless of clothes and hair. He admits he thinks an Indiana twang and shabbiness of dress is an asset in his business He owns up to a joint fortune with his wife of a half million dollars.

Last of three articles on the COP. standard bearer.)
 By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

Tell him." said Wendell Willkie, that I haven't left the Democratic party the Democratic party left me"
 It's the stock reply when people ask why the President of Common wealth and Southern and his wife changed their registration to Re- publican, why Willkie turned from New Deal booster who put $50 in the campaign pot for Roosevelt in 1882, into a Republican leader.
 Willkie, with his blaring, fresh Indiana voice, enjoys giving that answer when a heckler from the gallery pops the question, and it VOWS the audience.
 Since childhood, Willkie has be- lieved in individual freedom. He holds, too, that large corporations sanely run are efficient, and give management an opportunity to serve the public at bargain prices, where smaller units fail.
 His Is One-Man Show
 Willkie knows this corporation efficiency stems from one-man or small-group decisions. By many accounts, he himself is a one-man boss of the system he runs, a sys- tenn spread through ten operating companies into several states
 And yet this same Willkie is a passionate believer in the Federal system of government with maxi mum freedom for individuals, and decentralized government of the States in a country whose Su- preme Court has recently recog- nized that state lines have been dimmed by nationally operated corporations, transport lines, dis tribution systems.
 Wnlkie says the problem of America often has been big busi- ness abuse of it's powers, but that now it's the problem of big gov- ernment abusing business.
 Loses But Wins
 His argument stems from his fight with Dave Lillienthal, an- other Indiana boy who made good, but in the New Deal with IVA. Willkie fought IVA because it in- vaded his Tennessee public util- ity zone. He argued there's no soap for either consumer, government, or private corporation if you have two sets of power plants and power lines serving the same communi- ties.
 And in the heat of the fight, with Congress pouring more and more millions into IVA, he proposed to sell out. Suspicious, New Dealers took a deep breath, backed a na- tional power policy committee and renewed the scrap.
 Eventually, they decided Will kie meant business. Thus Wendell Willkie lost the fight, but he won war.
 His constant shrieking was worth S3O, ,OOO, 900 to Commonwealth and Southern" New Deal bigwig is supposed to have said.
 For the government paid $78.- 6O0OOO to Willkie to abandon IVA territory ~ $3O,000,00O more

Actor Frank Morgan evidently likes his, poker as much as his fish ing. At least he sat down to poker table with some of the boys last night at the Alaskan and was still there thoroughly enjoying himself this morning shortly before noon. It was difficult to tell where the money was going, but Morgan was having most of the fun, raising lightly on all pots just to start the fireworks and dropping out unharm- ed.
 As he played and exchanged banter with other players and hang ers-on, it became increasingly ap- parent that Frank Morgan in real life, and Frank Morgan on the screen afe one and the same person.
 Morgan arrived in Juneau yester- day afternoon for short visit here with his yacht Dolphin, planning to enjoy some of the Juneau area sal mon fishing and scenery for a few days before heading southward
 With Morgan on his yacht are his wife, his .soh George. A, and friend of his wife, Genevieve vedder. of Los Angeles.
 Red" Clark Is Skipper
 Morgan has made his Alaska cruise, skippered by Red" Clark, well known former Juneau boatman, leisureiy trip from one scenic spot to another and from one fishing hole to the next. ifae
