Club Sponsoring Holiday Project Soroptimists Plan Thanksgiving Party Next Week; Election in December Marilyn Merrick Lewis, regional director of the North west Region of Soroptimlst clubs, has submitted to her clubs Regional Project No, 1 Service Men's Christmas. . After discussion of this project at the regular business meeting of tha Klamath Falls Soroptimlst club at Thursday's , luncheon It was unanimously decided to cooperate in every way, and with this In view Mrs. Ruth Bathlany waa appointed by President Coral Sabo to make contacts with all other serv ice clubs in the community and get the work under way. It is hoped to provide a Christmas package for all men In service stationed in camps in the northwest region, and local Soroptimists expect to provide at least two packages per member. Packages may in clude such articles as candy, cookies, games, playing cards, fountain pens, shaving kits, sewing kits, soap, stationery, air mail stamps, etc. Mrs. Rita Whlsenant volunteered facili ties for caring for the packages until time to distribute them and members were asked to leave their packages at Ever, body's drug. It is hoped by tha time all clubs have been contacted to have enough packages so that each man, no matter what branch of the service he may be in, stationed in or who checks through this commun ity, may be given R package of Christmas cheer during the holiday season. If any private individuals who have no op portunity to give packages through their own clubs wish to provide one or more pack ages U.e Soroptimists invite them to place their gifts at the same point ot collection, Every body's drug. The club also voted to un earth from their hiding places any unused games and send them to Camp White. These are to be brought to the next meeting and sent in one pack age to the man in the Medford camp. On November the twelfth, the Soroptimists will have an evening meeting at which time they will entertain as guests, members of the Venture club of Klamath Falls. An invita tion is being extended to the Soroptimlst club of Lakevlew to participate in this meeting which will be a Thanksgiving party. Under the direction ot Mrs. Alice Lamm, members are giv en an opportunity at each luncheon to purchase war stamps in their favorite color and style, and every meeting sees an eager group around the stamp table. Mrs. Lamm reported the sale ot over thir ty dollars at Thursday's meet ing. ' The club voted to dispense with the meeting of Novem ber the twenty-sixth inasmuch as that is Thanksgiving day. Appointment of a nominat ing committee was announced with Mrs. Isabella Brlxner serving as chairman, assisted by Mrs. Gertrude Moore and Mrs. Ida Odell. Election will be held at the business meet ing in December and of inter est to all members is the fact that the new officers, who will take their chairs in January, "1943, will occupy these posi tions until June, 1944. This ex tended term of office is neces sitated by a change in the Fed A LOVELY Salon proved, Rlciard Hadouf now offers Du Btrry Derma-See Formula for home treatment Tola remarkable cream, a icientifio blend of emollient and itimulating proper rlea, CO ro bats excessive dry ness which frequently ages tha' appearance of the throat: help keep tha skin smooth and toft, f UuBaury j 808 Main eration by-laws whereby the fiscal year will start In June instead of January as hereto fore. It was deemed best by the American federation to elect for eighteen months rath er than have a short term of six months, Mrs. Jennie Southwell, act ing as chairman In securing volunteers to help on the gas rationing board, has asked that all members able to give any time to this project call her and register the hours they can give, Mrs. Effle Garceion, lo cal secretary of the rationing board, anticipates a volume of work which will make it ab solutely necessary to secure volunteer help. In spite of war and tha bombs which have fallen on London the British federation held its annual conference in that city, with a large part of the program being given over to plans for reconstruction. This is to be handled through group action, or the coordina tion ot all business and profes sional women's organizations throughout the country. Miss Elizabeth Glen Doble, presi dent of the British federation, gives credit to the American club women tor the start of the movement The British federation Is still working for the correc tion of what they term "That burning problem,", which concerns every British woman during this war and, they claim, one ot the most shame ful things the government has allowed to slip through, is tha unequal compensation ot per--sons injured by war. Women are urged to accept complete responsibility, complete equal ity in danger, complete equal ity in all the things they have to do in wartime, and they feel it Is shameful that they should still get only a proportion of the amount paid to a man who is injured. Another thing which British Soroptimists are working for along with American Soroptimists is hav ing women at the Peace table. Mrs. Rose' Poole, who waa unable to attend the meeting, sent word that work on the nursery school project is pro gressing and she hopes to give ' a full report at the next meet ing. In connection with this project the club is looking for ward to hearing Miss Griggs In the near future. Miss Griggs has been connected with nurs ery school work at Medford and the clubs hope to learn much from her that will be helpful in the work they ara undertaking.
