10th Century Club
Told Of Project
For Democracy
By Frances Lide

How participants in the Neigh
borhood Project in New Haven,
Conn, are learning to practice de-
mocracy on the local level" was de-
scribed to members of the Twentieth
Century Club at their opening fall
meeting yesterday at the YWCA.
The guest speaker was Mrs. Cert
rude Hart Day, executive director
Of the New Haven project and a
staff member of the National Con-
ference of Christians and Jews.
Mrs. Day explained that the pro-
ject, which was inaugurated about
three years ago. started with a
neighborhood summer playground
and now includes several nursery
schools. The program is concerned
principally with techniques of break
ing down racial and religious preju-
dices.
The speaker told a number of
stories to illustrate how individuals
Of varying backgrounds and beliefs
had learned to cooperate in the
project. AS important as the accom-
plishments of the schools themselves
is what happens to those of us who
meet in each others homes to solve
common problems" she emphasized.
Her interest in this type of work
was developed as a result of her
experiences during the war, Mrs
Day declared.
When her husband chose to enter
the Army Air Force, she determined
to stay with him as long as he was
In this country, despite the fact that
they had three young daughters.
AS the family moved into IA States
in about two years, they took on the
status Of migrants" she pointed
out. (Which means" she explained
that We were unwelcome every
where"
Il learned" she said. that true
aristocracy depends on character
and wealth of accomplishments
And that there is the aristocrat of
the wash tubs as well as the aristo-
crat Of the drawing room"
Mrs. Day was introduced by Mrs
Robert S. Townsend, the new presi-
dent of the club.
During the business session, men,
bers approved the revival of Com
mittee on Club Relations, designed
to promote fellowship among the
members. The committee will be
headed by Mrs. William E. Leahy
Mrs. Leahy also is chairman OF
the annual reception for officers and
new members which will be held
November 10 at the Washington
Club.
Business also included the accept
ance of four new members: Mrs
Leslie T. Mahurin, Mrs. Robert E.
Fugitt, Mrs. T. Franklin Foltz and
Mrs. Wilfred C. Gilbert.
