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.
Mrs. David Yale, president,
who presided, pointed out the
very satisfactory response to the
four study groups within the
organization and two members
: spoke briefly on the proposed
' park project, discussing Med-
ford's need for such recreational
I facilities. The club went on rec
ord as favoring this project.
Mrs. L. C. Taylor was in
charge of the outstanding program.
