tha acton free pre thursday jun 30 19o6 council of women toll assemble lists ef names town womens organizations and churches sent representa tives to a second meeting to div cuss ways of improving and co ordinating community services in acton there were 14 women at the meeting of tfie council of women at the liome of mrs d ijengel wednesday of lasl week again several misconceptions about the purpose of the group were explained the group would assist those in need in a small wax on the request of a doctor nurse minister or rec ognized agency no money would be raised homemaking or housekeeping services would not be providedby the day names will be compiled of women willing to assist free of charge onayery short term bas is in cases of emergency other areas of coordinating assis tance were discussed many groups do have these types of projects but no onecoreltcs the projects so a person knows where to inquire a questionnaire will be pre pared and next fall copies will be distributed at meetings of womens groups for those who are willing to assist in a volun teer way to sign while these women will be willing itihev would notjoftcn be called upon the problem in the past has been to obtain someone for a small project like last weeks substitute driver to the retard ed childrens picnic at very short notice on the list would be transpor tation names of people who could drive someone somewhere if needed this in no way con flicts with the cancer societv list of drivers however the way the service group operates the cancer societv could ask for the name of a possible driver if they need one household help is the next category in emergency only for short terms and unpaid if a woman breaks her arm and cant manage some of her house work a volunteer could help out relief baby sitting tf a doc tor sends a woman to hospital suddenly and she has nowhere to leave her children the doc tor could ask for help until ar rangements can be made information there could be a list of which group has what layettes eyeglasses bedding used clothing another list could be published once in a while telling what club collects what mrs f gibbons bock from visit mrs frank gibbons

calendar of social events one person could list from the free press coming events column and other sources which baz aars and bake sales are schedul ed on which days one specific person could be phoned before another group sets a date a clearing house for hamper information tcrhaps one person could keep track of which fam ilies need hampers and which arc receiving several and which- none or just one sometimes hampers would be needed at other times than christmas the council of women would probably never provide food but simply coordinate the work of other groups who do this work regularly and have exper ience at it if a service club did not wish to check with the well are per son in charge of course it could simply go ahead as usual it is not our business to act as social workers the ladies agreed they would only help on the request of an official or doctor would maintain confi dence scrupulously in cases where it was indicated would do only what they were asked to do and absolutely nothing more after the sheets are filled in there should be very little need for the council of women to bold meetings the group has no money and if a little is needed for postage or phone calls there will be no reimbursements available at the present time however money will be needed for expenses of drivers the mimeographed s h e e t s for which there is no money will be available the first of september be given to the rep resentatives from the groups filled in and returned then a master list will be prepared and will simply await requirements members of the committee
