The Chinese Committee Of the
National M. Eleanor Breckenridge
Club will hold a Chinese benefit
dance Thursday from 8 pm. to l

of the Statler Hotel.

Rural Women of Prince Georges
Lead in Ciuic Development

In Prince Georges County
rural women are stepping out
in front and are taking their
part in the social welfare and
civic life of the county.
At least so per cent. perhaps
as many as 10 per cent of the
membership of the Prince
Georges County Federation of
Women's Clubs is made up of
rural women, and two of the
federation's five officers. the
second vice president and the
recording secretary, are rural
women and live on their own
farms.
Mrs. William Breen, the sec
ond vice president, raises her
own chickens and vegetables,
has a big canning project under
way, and in between times she
keeps up her work with the
County Council of Homemakers,
serves as treasurer of the Oxon
Hill Woman's Club and does VOL
unteer work with the local ra-
tioning board.
The recording secretary, Mrs.
Octave Bigones. calls herself a
farm woman also, but she smiles
when she says it-"Who ever
heard of calling seven acres of
water a farm"
Mrs. Bigones has a 20-acre
farm with seven acres under
water, and she raises water
lilies; and, since she cultivates
her crop herself. and harvests it
also. she thinks she can qualify
as a bona fide farm woman.
Mrs. Rigones is the garden
chairman of both the State and
the county federations in addi-
ton to serving on the official
board of the federation.
The cooperation of the rural
women in the work of the county
federation is very gratifying"
