Report Roundup
Heard by Members
Soroptimists Plan Installation, Christmas Party
For Next Week
In spite of war news and the general tona of anxiety
which exists throughout the nation, and in which Soroptimiita
fully ahare, it waa a cheerful group of women who gathered
t the luncheon table at the Wlllard hotel Thursday to hear
reports of committee heads at the close of the year's work.
, Presiding officer,
Yetta
Margulls, kept the meeting
moving rapidly along in or
der to consider the volume
of work which the commit
tees had accomplished dur
ing the past twelve months.
Reports from Effie Garce
lon, as chairman of the by
laws committee, Gwendolyn
Wright who headed the pub
licity, project and classifica
tion committees, Sophia Ken
offel, sunshine committee, and
Rose Poole of the Venture
club committee were handed
in to the secretary. The hos
pitality committee, headed by
Sylvia McClelland for the
first half of the year and
Eileen Hicks during the sec
ond half, could point to the
attractive table decorations in
keeping with the various oc
casions and holidays to show
for the intense year they had
spent in helping to make the
club luncheons happy events.
An interesting resume of
the programs for the past
year was given by Alice
Lamm, chairman of the pro
gram committee. During the
year, said Mrs. Lamm, every
member of the club had been
invited to act as hostess chair
' man and every speaker for
whom a request had been
made by members of the club
had accepted an invitation to
appear. As finale members
of this committee, composed
of Mrs. Lamm, Effie Garce
lon, Kathleen Thompson and
Ruth Ray, sang an original
song.
All members of the local
club are urged to look up
Life for December the eighth
on page twenty-nine of which
they will find a most inter
esting picture of the party
given by the Soroptimist club
of Sacramento to children of
that town with Samoyede
dogs as honor guests.
From across the seas comes
most interesting news from
sister clubs throughout Great
Britain, all functioning not
as if no war existed but cen
tering their club life around
things necessary to national
and individual happiness in
their great struggle.
Klamath Falls' own sister
club at Brighton and Hove is
proud of its member, Mrs.
Dorothea Mathias, FCA (cer
tified public accountant to us)
who is the only woman to
hold the position of war-tax
assessor and who with her
husband has recently been
sent on appointment to Hong
Kong. To reach her destina
tion, Mrs. Mathias sailed three
quarters of the way 'round
the world, touching at Ice
land, spending twelve hours
In New York, and arriving in
Hong Kong after 103 days of
sailing.
The club in Bolton held an
evening meeting in November
at which a member gave (of
all things) ' a paper on the
"Battle of Fashion" with
American markets as one of
the chief objects, this battle
being between nazi-inspired
France" and the dress design
ers of Britain. The Bolton
club foresees victory for the
British designers. Bolton
cheerfully sends words of
thanks to California Sorop
timists whose gift of choc
olate netted sixty pounds,
somewhere around $275 or
enough to train one dog to
guide the blind.
Bradford has "adopted" the
crew of HMS Elgin, a mine
sweeper for whom they are
knitting and preparing par
cels of garments, books and
games.
Edinburgh club proudly re
ports one member having the
great honor of hanging two
,-plctures "on the line" at the
. exhibition of the Scottish So
ciety of Women Artists in the
National Gallery of Edin-
burgh.
Of interest to women all
over the world is the eternal
question of equality between
men tnd women doing the
same work. Under the leader
ship of Leicester Soroptimists
twenty-one women's organize-
: tlons joined in a mass meet
ing of protest against the dif
ferential In favor of men in
Clvilan Injuries compensation,
men receiving seven shillings
. more than women for like in
juries received under like serv
ices. Resolutions of protest
were sent to the prime minis
ter, the minister of pensions,
and the three members of
" parliament from that city.
The Liverpool and Mcrseyslde
clubs also held protest meet
ings on this question, at
which Colonel Sir John
Shute, M. P., said that he had
yet to be convinced that it
was either reasonable or prac
ticable to put women on an
equality with men in thla
compensation distribution.
However he expressed him
self as willing to listen to
any arguments put forth by
any group such as the Sorop
timists. He put it squarely
up to the women to provide
him with sufficient reasons to
make him change his views
and promised that if they did
so he would stand up in the
house and demand on behalf
of women what they con
sidered the right solution.
At Merseyside Lady Pares
pointed out that women
shared equally with men the
dangers and difficulties to
which civilian population was
exposed under war conditions
and the lesser compensation
for women was an injustice
in theory as well as in prac
tice. The meeting of the Klam
ath Falls club on December
the eighteenth will be the an
nual Christmas party at which
each member will present a
gift to another member, the
gift to consist of a toy, and,
however much one may long
to keep this present it will not
be considered good form, for
all toys are to be handed to
the firemen to be distributed
on their annual mission of
good will among the local
children.
The Soroptimist club is co
operating with the Santa
Claus club in their annual
dinner for over 500 children,
and will donate services as
well as cash. At the lunch
eon on the eighteenth the
new officers headed by Mrs.
Coral Sabo wHI be installed.
The club will then adjourn
until the second Thursday of
the new year, since the first
Thursday falls on New Year's
day.
Under the leadership of
Mrs. Sylvia McClelland the
club is actively co-operating
in the civilian defense work.
