The National Button Society was formed in 1938 in the United States and now numbers over two thousand members. In Can- ada the Trillium Club of Wes- tern Ontario was formed in 1958 and the Pioneer Button Club for this area on Septem- ber 25, 1960, The Canadian clubs are affi- Hated with the American or- ganization which carries out careful and extensive research, the results of which are passed on through the _ bi-monthly Button Bulletin, Mrs. Orville K, Osborne of R.R. 4, Bowmanville called the first meeting, in this district when eight women met at her home to form the Pioneer Button club.

During the six 'years of activity the club mem- bership has risen to almost fifty, some of whom are corres- ponding members only because of distance. There are members in several provinces and a few in the United States: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario, New York, Colorado, Pennsyl- vania and New Hampshire.
