The Junior League of WASH
ington has received two cita-
tionS.
Announcement of the ac-
colades was made yesterday
at the Leagues final member
ship meeting Of the year at
the residence of Mrs. Samuel
H. Kaufman.
The citations were given
by the'Washington Heart As
sociation and by the District
of Columbia Education As
sociation.
The latter group stated,
"It is the desire of the Dis
trict of Columbia Education
Association to show apprecia-
tion to those who have con-
tributed their untiring serv-
ice and many generous acts
to the public schools Of the
District of Columbia. Especi-
ally to the Junior League of
Washington do we express our
sincere appreciation"
The League was cited for
the tours they conduct for
children at the National Gal
lery of Art and the Smith
sonian Institution; the Junior
League Players that bring
children's literary classics to
children of all ages in drama
tic form; the organizations
gifts Of film in the area of
child protection, and the
generous donations" to pro-
vide for a supervising director
with an office staff available
to the Washington schools
for a two-year period to
make possible the extension
of school library facilities in
elementary and Junior high
schools.
25-Year Service
The citation from the
Heart Association was for the
Leagues service for over 25
years during which time
hundreds of Junior League
members have given their
time and skills to cardiac
children through the 'In-Bed
Club and later the Happy
Hearts Club
This Distinguished
Achievement Award" is the
highest award given by the
group. s
Mrs. Eldon H. Crowen,
president of the Washington
Junior League, made the Cit
alton announce e m n is
and conducted the business
meeting that followed.
Among the reports made
was one by Mrs. James F. C.

Mrs. Kennedy
Receives Wives
OF Mayors
BY Associated Press

Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy
yesterday served as White
House hostess for a recep-
ton for about 600 wives of
mayors and other city Of
ficialS.
The Attorney Generals
wife acted for Mrs. John F.
Kennedy who is winding up
a vacation in Greece.
Mrs. Robert Kennedy re-
ceived the women in the blue
room.
They were served tomato
juice, sherry and cookies.
Some of the women from
New York expressed horror
that the frame of the picture
of Franklin D. Roosevelt,
which hangs in the blue room,
was Clipped. They were told
that this frame, as we'll as
others which need it will
soon be done over.
Evening star., 1961-06-15
Junior League Gets
Two Citations

of the League. She spoke of
the seth Annual Conference
of the Association of Junior
Leagues of America which
met in Dallas. Texas last
month.
Mrs. Hyde, who attended
the conference, brought up
two main points that were
covered in the conference.
Community Projects
The first was the problem
of community projects that
Leagues throughout the
country undertake and how
they can best turn a project
they have piloted over to the
community after its success
has been proven.
Mrs. Hyde said that this
was a growing concern in
that the united fund raising
drives throughout the coun-
try have an increasingly hard
time reaching their quotas.
She also pointed out that
this was the reason that the
Washington League in most
cases tries to foresee means
for a project to be taken
over before it starts it.
The other conference point
brought out by Mrs. Hyde
was the problem leagues are
having. in their invitations
to new potential members.
In most leagues, the pros
pective member must have
lived in the community for
several years and must be
well known by several mem
bers over a period of time.
However, Mrs. Hyde said,
with "the mobility of the
nation" and the continual
moving about of young peo-
pie these requirements are
becoming more difficult and
so the leagues may lose very
well qualified members.
An attempt is being made
in exceptional cases for a
league to recommend mem
bership of a person that
once came under its juris-
diction, for membership in
another league where the
person is currently living.
A report on the forthcom-
ing fund raising Christmas
Shop, October 25, 26 and q
was given by Mrs. Richard IT.
West.
Following the meeting
luncheon was served.
