ican University, was held TUESDAY
evenings and could only take about
IL boys each time.
Then and there Jackie decided
that what was good one night a
week would be even better two
nights and she determined to Or
ganize a group of her friends into
a Hobby Club.
Fortunately, husband George is
a carpenter with no little talent
and with him for woodwork in
structor Jackie had the nucleus OF
her group close at hand.
Within a week Frannie Brig
ham. Mary Morrill, and Gordon
johnson, all of ECA. had caught
Jackie's enthusiasm and were
ready to go. And every Monday
nirht from then on the Pendle-
tons and their friends taught
handicrafts at the annex.
Often, summer heat notwith-
standing, Jackie had to turn
eager would be- instructors down
because she already has more
than enough volunteers for the
evening
Favorable Reaction
And the children love Hobby
Club A little boy caught sight
of Jackie at the annex one after
noon when she had just stopped
by for a talk. Just one glimpse
of her and he sent up a howl OF
delight and started rushing
around asking, ARE we going to
have hobby club?"
According to Miss Winifred
Thompson, the warm, friendly
woman who has the imposing
title of assistant superintendent
of the Industrial Home School in
charge of the annex, although
the annex children do have
planned activities every day and
evening under the guidance OF
their counselors, the hobby clubs
give them a much needed chance
to work in small groups and get
more individual attention.
It also gives the children who
dislike group play chance to be
by themselves and the disturbed
youngsters get an opportunity to
work out their aggressions by
hammering and creating things
rather than by destroying them.
Housing Problem
The Hobby Clubs are now housed
in the basement of Lincoln Hall
a roomy, quiet location which un-
fortunately in a couple of months
won't be available to the children
any more.
Lincoln Hall is about to be
turned over to the National Train
ing School in exchange for Wash
tngton Building where the train
ing school girls now are. Both
buildings are on the Loughboro
road property.
Washington Building, where the
annex children will move, has no
space comparable to the basement
of Lincoln Hall where the Hobby
Club can meet Several rooms
that are now Offices will be turned
over to the club but they are con-
siderably smaller than the rooms
1t now occupies.
Jackie and her group would like
to see to it that the old barn on
the property, now unused. is re-
furbished and made into a gym
nasium.

Local Group Plans Drive
To Aid Annex Children

Mrs. Sam Edwards, Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond Scherrer, Mr.. Johnson,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Ragan and
the Pendletons form the Executive
Committee of what they term the
annex recreation fund-ARF for
short.
The whole committee boasts 20
girls and 20 men. Each has been
asked to give the Executive Com
mittee names of so people who
aren't apt to be solicited in most
of the charity, drives here.
The Executive Committees plan
I is to weed out Implications and
then return about 80 names apiece
ito committee members. From
then on they're on their own as
to how to persuade the people on
their list each to contribute So.
/ ARR cocktail parties are being
planned and some members have
even thought of a dance. At any
rate, judging from the vigorous
young people on the list, their ap-
proach to raising money is sure
to be new and refreshing.
Man With q System
Bill Glidden, also ECA, has his
plan masterfully in hand. He
simply telephones friend and
says innocently:
You wouldn't mind calling up
one person a day would you?"
| Naturally, that doesn't seem too
taxing and soon the friend finds
that in a month he has taken
care of the 80 people on his list.
Among the bachelor contingent
who have adopted the annex chill
dren and want a gymnasium for
them are lawyers Gene Thomas,
Harry Carter Phil Brown, Ladd
Thurston. Newton Schenk and
Calvin Cobb.
Adding an international flavor
to the drive is Herman Beyen Of
the Netherlands and for the State
Department touch. Enid Griswold
and Phoebe Taylor, both research
analysts, will lend a hand.
Frances Dear will have plenty
of spirit to add to the campaign,
since she's just back from a long,
delightful tour Of Europe. And
Bucky Block has Joined the group
to supplement lists with Wash
ington names if there prove to
be too few young transients to |
fill them.
John and Margaret Becker, Ann
LukenS, Elizabeth Coleman, Jean
Sells, Jane Lingo and Bill Gull
bert will also lend their talents
to the ARF drive. The latter. a
member of the popular Augmented
Eight, may be prevailed upon TO
sing for such a good cause,

Choosing Godporents
Dear Mrs. Post: Are there any
rules governing the selection of
godparents for a first baby? My
husbands brother and his wife are
expecting their first baby and
since they were godparents for our
f1rst child, I naturally assumed
that my husband and I would be
asked to be the godparents. But
instead, they are having the
couple who was the best man and
matron Of honor. They insist that
this is traditional.
Answer-To ask the best man
and maid of honor is very usual
especially when they are not blood
relations, because in this way they
add to the number of persons who
will take a loving interest in the
baby. When families are very
small, choosing godparents who
add the loving interest of an
extra aunt or uncle is very i'm
portant. When families are very
large, asking members of it to
