state, ready to co-operate in any good
work, trusting to the clubwomen to

all charmed with her pleasing person
ality and feel inspired to go on to
greater accomplishment. After the
programme there was a luncheon in

writer asked if this report might be
published and this department was
glad to do as requested.

message from the state president and
other items of Interest read before
your club? Here Is Mrs. Callahan's
message:
"My dear club worker: Greetings
and my best wishes to ea-h member
of your club for the coming Christ
mas season. This Is to be a glad
season for us all. yet we must be
reminded that the people of the
United States today are facing prob
lems that should be met with clear
thinking, cool determination and great
courage. The women of the nation
have been called upon to help In this
time of stress and they are rising
to the occasion and giving aid in
many ways. They must continue this
unselfish work until the present
period of unrest has passed, and the
disturbed social life has regained its
normal calmness.
"One factor that will help to sta
bilize this restlessness is the awak
ening of community consciousness
and this can be brought about by a
group of interested people. As the
nation is composed of people banded
together in communities, improvement
in these small units will add strength
to the whole structure. Close at hand
In every community are problems
that need attention. ' These fields of
study have limitless possibilities
within the borders of each community
"The home Job is a big one, and
with a new sense of values, its many
aspects which were never before seen
as they are now. Instead of being a
nation of novel readers as were the
people of yesterday, they today crave
more nourishing food for their mental
diet. Instead of reading romances
they are concered about education,
public health, child welfare and other
vital questions. Through earnest
studv and deep thinking they are try
Ing to accomplish conservation of life
of happiness, of civil and national
integrity.
"Profiting by the experience of the
past they should face the new prob
lems with confidence, intelligence and
self control, firm In the hope that
moved by the spirit of broad altruism
and unfailing loyalty they shall help
to balance the unrest which is now
Dossessing the world. As an inde
pendent body of thoughtful workers
the Oregon Federation of Women's
Ciubs can exert an influence on th
communities of the state which wil
add strength to the nation. Com
munity service is the home job and
it is a good place to start."
Some of the Portland clubs are do
ing special Christina- worii. Rotable
The Dalles Sorosis club, keeping in
mind the admonition of Mrs. Charles
H. Castner, former state president,
"nothing but service which is our
unbounded duty toward our country,"
worked faithfully toward that end. A
few members of the sorosis club be
longed to the home service depart
ment of the Red Cross and discreetly
distributed funds to deserving sol
diers and their needy families, who
applied. Paid all club dues and other
obligations, as follows: Traveling
fund for president, $5 for literature
for soldiers in hospitals. $Si.25 for
woman's building at University of Ore
gon. J9.25 for scholarship loan fund;
heartily sanctioned the Malheur lake
bird bill and wrote our representa
tive at Salem to that effect; worked
in all Red Cross and other patriotic
drives, and succeeded in almost per
manently bringing about the cure of
crippled child of our community:
displayed the American flag at all
meetings, and increased our member
ship very materially in spite of the
tact tnat our women the past two
years have been engrossed In war

President.
The Social Workers' association is
hoping this year to make a definite
contribution to social welfare In Ore
gon along particular lines where de
velopment seems imperative. Com
mittees are being organized to deal
with the problems which are most
pressing for attention.
The committees will meet during
the winter, probably twice a month or
oftener, as It Is necessary, to con
sider their Individual subjects. A plan
of practical research will be followed
facts gathered concerning existing
conditions, discussions held as to
ways and means of remedying the
situation and definite recommenda
tions will be made by the committees
to the association as to action to be
taken. In some instances legislation
may eventually be necessary in orde
to accomplish results.
Some of the committees are already
fairly well organized. If any work
of value Is to be accomplished, how
ever, concerning, the insane and the
Glencoe Parent-Teacher circle has
an active membership and the com
munity meetings are attractive fea
tures.
The community dancing class, which
Is held every Saturday night from
30 to 9 o'clock and general dancing
from 9 to 11 o'clock, has proved such
a success that plans are being formed
ror a new class. The runds derived
from the class are being used to pur
chase books and pictures for the
school.
Mrs. W. H. Bathgate says co-oper
ative harmony is the keynote of Glen
eoe's success, a great deal of credit
being due to the splendid co-operative
spirit of the faculty of tne school.
Other activities are being planned
for the coming term. All visitors are
welcome.
