i 2 H {8 ki #! i | il Hi Fi Re H ff : WINNETKA TALK November 13, 1926 te l IN Sd News of the North Shore Clubs Japanese Speaker of Note Will Talk at Woman's Society Raymond Oshimo will address the Woman's society of the Congregation-, al church on Wednesday, Novem- ber 17, immediately following the luncheon, on "The Japanese in Hawaii and America." Born of Japanese parents in Hawaii, Mr. Oshimo, after years of study, is unusually well-informed on this sub- ject. He is now doing advanced work in Chicago Theological seminary. He has been offered a professorship in Doshisha university, Japan, but is as yet undecided as to whether his great- est field of usefulness lies there or in Hawaii. Mr. Oshimo addressed an audience of several hundreds in Michigan re- cently, and reports from that talk were very complimentary to the speaker, the audience being very much impressed with Mr. Oshimo. The change in the speaker for the day is due to the illness of Dr. De- Forest, president of Kobe college, Japan, who has had to cancel all speaking engagements before return- ing to the Orient next month. The program for next Wednesday will begin with sewing at 10 o'clock. Miss Katso Yonezawa will appear in Japanese costume to entertain with songs during the morning. Mrs. George W. Gordon will speak on "World Friendship News," and the devotionals, led by Mrs. Heber H. Smith will be at 12 o'clock, just pre- ceding the luncheon at 12:15 o'clock.

Af- ter the reading of the minutes and the treasurer's report, Mrs. Walter Ben- son made the following important an- nouncements: The executive board took action previous to the meeting in appointing a legislative chairman. Also, a study class for the league will commence about the middle of Novem- ber and meet four successive weeks to study, "State and Federal Legislative Measures." Mrs. Leslie Gooder, second vice-president and program chairman, then introduced Mrs. Ida Clyde Clark of international reputation. Mrs. Clark's talk, as she called it, con- cerned her book, "Uncle Sam Needs a Wife." Woman's work in the home has been minimized by all kinds of electrical devices such as dishwashing machines, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, commercial canning, bakeries, laun- dries, and ready-made clothing. Tt is her business to know about scientific, economical and sanitary productions and to have some share in the legis- lature concerning them. Mrs. Clark spoke of men as being the official exploiters of the race and the women as the submerged sex. Theaters, publishing houses, motion pictures, millinery, styles, beauty par- lors, and finance, all are controlled by men! Mrs. Clark advocates more joint meetings of men and women, more co- operation in the study of conditions af- fecting both. The need is for "city mothers" as well as "city fathers!" A program for a study class on local questions received great commendation from the speaker of the day. Women should familiarize themselves in local issues and offices rather than national ones.
