Board of Managers to Recess
Cr1tteutOn Home Circles
To Work Through Summer
BY Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor.

While meetings of the Board OF
Managers of the Florence Crittenton
Home will be suspended during July
and August, the % individual circles
will continue their work throughout
the summer.
War has carried its heartbreak
and tragedy into the lives of many
of the bewildered young girls who
have sought refuge in their hour
of trial at the home. Were it not
for the sympathy and help given
them by the kindly women there. it
Is probable that many would never
have the courage to carry on" in
the normal, healthy channels of
society following the births of their
babes.
Members of the Florence Critten-
ton Circles realize that, winter or
summer, the needs of the girls and
babies at the home never cease, and
that In addition to such items as
baby clothes and garments for the
young mothers there is definite need
for training and boosting of
morale during the trying days of
waiting"
Therefore, each week, one of the
circles will play hostess this sum-
mer to the girls in the home, pro-
viding entertainment which includes
movies, games, music and refresh
ments.
In addition to entertainment, the
home tries to give each girl chance
to learn tipping, homemaking, cook
ing, sewing and the care of their
babies
Besides vocational courses, a
weekly Bible class and other re-
ligious services are held in addition
to cultural and recreational activi-
ties under the auspices of a club
officered by the girls themselves.
These include art classes, story tell
ing, dramatic programs and lectures.
A special program will be featured
by the Chevy Chase Circle when it
holds its party early in July. An
accordion player has been engaged
to play numbers specially requested
by the girls.
The latest development in the
work of the home is the Big Sister
Group composed of board and circle
members. The case worker at the
home assigns big sister to each
girl who needs one when she leaves
the home with her baby. Under
