University Women Enjoy Recent Meet; Favor Park Issue Forty-seven members and guests of the American Associa tion of University Women gath-f-red Saturday afternoon at the Hotel Medford for one of the organization's most successful and enjoyable affairs. Highlight of the meeting was the presentation of two equally sincere and well informed points of view on the neutrality bill. Mrs. Justin Smith took the "af firmative" side, or that favor ing the repeal of the present embargo act, and Miss Jose phine Kirtley offered statements to show that such repeal would not achieve our common objec tive of keeping the United States out of war. Mrs. Smith reviewed the history of this bill in house and senate and expressed the feeling that one cause of the revival of interest in the act was a felt need for neutrality. "In the interests of a true neu trality we should submerge our personal sympathies and 'sell America'," Mrs. Smith said. Miss Kirtley voiced the view point of those who believe pub lic sentiment toward war is fos tered by sale of munitions and she raised the question as to whether the United States em ployment situation would be permanently benefitted by in creased work In munition fac tories. Another argument in favor of this side was a long time plan for economic security would be in manufacturing mu nitions and planes for our own defense and the building up of better trade with our South American neighbors. At the close of these two talks the meeting was opened for gen eral discussion. Also on the program was Mrs. Royal Bebb who entertained with two vocal selections, "In dian Love Call" and "Ma Curly headed Baby." Mrs. C. I. Drum mond accompanied the latter solo on the violin.

The club went on rec ord as favoring this project. Mrs. L. C.
