165 TO be the lighteSt man on the
squad. He's as good a pasSer as
GheSquiere, slightly better as a
lpunter, little shiftier runner,
but hasn't the speed of Ghesquiere
when he hits an open field.
Whether Piper's passing will
come up 10 last year is question
able. Near the end of the season
he fell on his right wrist and tore
some lgaments. He has TO keep
1T tapped or it pops out of joint.
He says the wrist doesn't bother
him when he is passing, but Dorais
is waiting 10 see.
Mclaughlin, called Mickey by
his mates, is the most seasoned
and flashiest kid of the quartet.
This is the Flat Rock youths third
and last year and he's determined
TO make the most of it. He stands
5 feet 9 inches and weighs ITO.
Under the new substitution
rules this year, when it will be
possible to send a player in and
yank him out almost every other
play, Mclaughlin is bound to sec
more service, especially on spread
formations and end runs. He's
strictly a spot player who can
turn on the speed.
Madarik, sophomore up from
Catholic High in Joliet, Ill. is the
best looking freshman back since
Doug Mott 10 years ago.
Buck, a product of Mackenzie
High here. had some experience
last year, but not enough to win

Club Federation Plans Jubilee

Washington, D. C-The General Federation of Women's Club is con- ducting a nationwide search for its pioneer workers and during the Federation's Golden Jubilee conven- tion in Atlantic City next May, these women will be honored with impressive ceremonies and the presentation of elaborate gold med- als. Some remarkable records of service and leadership have already been discovered and additional en- tries are coming in almost daily, according to Mrs. John l.. White hurst, first vice-president of the Federation, and general chairman of the Golden Jubilee. The entries already include one woman who is 95 years of age; also at least one woman who was present when the Federation was organized, April 24, 1890 in New York City.
 Three medals will be awarded; one for the longest continuous membership in federated club, one for the longest and most outStand- ing record of leadership in feder- ated club, and one to pioneer not
 now living but who has rendered the longest continuous service.
 In addition to regular program features, the Golden Jubilee con- vention will offer gigantic pag- cant depicting woman'S progress during the past 50 years. A great chorus which is expected to en- brace 1000 voices, more than 700 already being registered, will be conducted by Miss Gena Brans- combe of New York City, celebrated composer and conductor. Americas most popular radio forum, Amer ica's Twn Meeting of the Air, has been secured for one of the evening programs and will be presided over by the president of Town Hall, Inc, George V. Denny, Jr. Junior club women will come into their own at this convention. Not only will they have conspicuous part in the pro- gram, but they will stage a Spectac- ular rolling chair parade in Atlantic City'S world famous Auditorium. Each state will enter a chair deco rated in its state flower, and in each chair will ride the junior chos- en to represent her state.

UniongrGn1 Day Marks Birthday

waterbury's Sisterhood of Temple Israel will participate in National Uniongram Day which will mark on January 21; 1941, the 28th birthday of the National Federation of Tenn pie Sisterhoods, worlds largest Jewish women's religious organiza- tion. The announcement was just made by Mrs. Leon L. Walters of New York, National president.
 Mrs. Lewis Freedman is president of the Waterbury unit of the Na- tional Federation.
 Many thousands of people in the English speaking world will share in this celebration. For on this day each of the members in the United States, Canada, Cuba, Panama, England and s. Africa has been re- quested to send at least one Union gram message to someone, some where.
 Union gram profits have enabled the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods to support education for Jewish youth. Administered by the Department of Youth Activities of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, NETS parent body, Jewish youth work is steadily ad- vancing in the task of preparing Liberal Jewish youth for a con- structive share in the life of Amer ican Democracy.
 National Uniongram Day, January 21, 1941, will be a success, Mrs. Harry w. Ettelson of Memphis, Na- tional Uniongram chairman de- clared, because every NETS member realizes that each Uniongram mess age serves the double purpose of carrying a personal thought and of adding to the fundamental work of religious education-a basic element in the democratic way of life.
