Directors Chosen And Annual Report Of YWCA Given PAGE TWO Startling her audience of almost one hundred women and girls by remarking humorously they looked "insipid," Miss Florence Pierce, reâ€" cently returned from Y work in Shanghai, gave a challenging talk at the annual meeting of the Highâ€" land Park YWCA on Thursday eveâ€" ning. Garbed in a Chinese coat so that her listeners might have a bit of "atmosphere" in reliving with her some of her unusual experienâ€" ces, Miss Pierce explained that afâ€" ter meeting with women of all races, the average American audiâ€" ence did look pale and insipid. For instance, as secretary of the Singâ€" apore Y for three years where memâ€" bers of the board included three Chinese, three Indians, three Amerâ€" icans, three British, and three Euâ€" rasians, Miss Pierce enjoyed the richness of a truly international daily work. The open friendliness of the Chiâ€" nese who surprise the newcomer with their first two questions, "How old are you?" and "How many chilâ€" dren do you have?" was described by <this °Y foreign secretary who pointed out the similarity in demoâ€" cratic ideals of America and China. This similarity she based on leadâ€" ership coming through education or ability, not through birth of class inheritance, and on tolerance as exâ€" A total of 1198 represented the constituency of the YWCA for the past year. This number inâ€" cludes the membership and others who have lived at the building or been enrolled in clubs and classes conducted by the Y. f RobertW Pease & "C 7 C 2% Wce k Pe am e am en 00 0000 PHONE 144 %é}-fl\?d“[; PARK,ILL.

They mean well, of course, and simple little allments and accidents about the house can often be treated casually with home remedies from the medicine chest. Mowever, when there is anything the matter with you, to experiment with yourself or treat your ease with "hearsay," may be very expensive and dangerous. There are many anderlying causes for outward symptoms, discernible only to a Physician, after careful examination and analysis.

As a stirring examâ€" ple of this tolerance Miss Pierce brought the message from the Chiâ€" nese Y Associations for Americans to pray that both China and Japan may find a way out of the present suffering which the imperialistic system and not the will of common people has caused, Miss Pieree was introduced by Mrs. Eugene Pfister, who presided at the annual meeting reading the cablegram greeting. from Mrs. Theâ€" odore Osborn, president, now in England. Group singing led by Mrs, Virgil Musserâ€"and delightful operatic numbers given by , Miss Mary Santi and her accompanist, Miss Alma Galassini, were program features, Many friendly volunteers, under the efficient chairmanship of Mrs. Lyle Gourley, served a deliâ€" cious "family supper." The theme of fellowship between women of varying social, racial and religious backgrounds was brought out in devotionals led by Mrs. Clifford Hawes and in a report on the issues of the coming National Convention given by Mrs. Theodore Fischer, first viceâ€"president. The main business of the evening was the election of new members of the board, Mrs. James 8. Baker, Mrs. Dwight Davis, Mrs. Clinton Fritsch and Mrs. Merwin Hopkins to fill the vacancies caused by the retiring members, Mrs. James Cady Ewell, Mrs. Clifton Hawes, Mrs. Paul Downing, and Mrs. Everett Fontaine. The financial report givâ€" en by Mrs. Leroy Harza and the secretary‘s report by Mrs. Garfield Canright gave members a glimpse of the scope of the Association work: Mrs. Harza reported income of $8728.69 for rental of rooms and Assembly hall class fees, interest on investments and community chest and club and individual gifts. Total expenses including administration activities and upkeep exceeded inâ€" come by $562.09. This deficit was u0 w. largely accounted for extensive reâ€" pairs and decrease in assembly renâ€" tals and educational fees this year. ‘This budget difference will doubtâ€" less be balanced within a few months. "The footsteps of time had worn our rugs down to loom thread" said Miss Gertrude Ames in giving her interesting report for the House Committee. In explaining how new rugs arrived Miss Ames gave trib ute to the generous friend of the Association, Mrs. Alfred Burdick. Outside painting, sidewalks, porch roofing, gutters, were among the utilitarian improvements of the year, a new electric icebox for the use of girls in the re=idence and elub refreshment committees, the lovely gifts celebrating the Y‘s 25th anniversary, were mentioned in the house secretary‘s report,. "Our rooms rent to permanent residents for $12 to $18 a month, and to transients for $3 a week," concludâ€" ed Miss Ames in explaining that girls living in the house have the privilege of T;eparin( their meals, doing their laundry, entertaining their friends and enjoying rnl.m life. The residence has also 158 transient guests during the year. F A word picture of the friendly and stimulating good times at 374 Laurel avenue enjoyed by the 280 club members from ten years old to grandmothers ‘was given by Miss Mary Robe in her general report. "Eight selfâ€"governing clubs stand ready in a truly cheering way to back up the Association enterprises and all make a voluntary contriâ€" bution to its budget," said Miss Robe, listing the Mothers‘ Club; the three business girls‘ groups, Pi Delâ€" ta, BY‘s, and Emanon League; the Friendship Club for household emâ€" ployees; the newly organized Stuâ€" dent YWCA, a high school club; and two grade school clubs. "The Mothers‘ Club, welcoming all mothers, has had successful events open to the public, cooking school, carnival, dances, play, card parties, besides its regular monthly meetings. Each year members of the families are brought into the friendly circle through the dinners when husbands are guests, chilâ€" dren‘s Christmas party, and family picni¢s. This club is planning on sending two delegates to the April National Y Convention." â€" "Any Thursday afternoon you will find groups busy with handâ€" work, playing games or practicing badminton under the tutelage of Mr, ‘X‘, said Miss Robe in describâ€" ing the popularity of the Friendly center afternoons for household emâ€" ployees, inaugurated by Mrs. Harza and the officers of the Friendship Club, the organized club. "Sixtyâ€" five different girls have been conâ€" tacted since the first of the year through this open house and many have become interested in the proâ€" grams of sightâ€"sgeing and parties offered at regular club meetings. "These clubs and the business girls‘ clubs have members who are found actively working on general committees of the Association and they are represented on the Leadâ€" ership Council, clearing house for club and program problems. A new venture this year and one in which we have all been interested is the organization of the High School girls into a student YWCA. This group has a board just as the senior Y has.~ The membership is at presâ€" ent 25 but gives every indication of being ready for greater growth. Mrs. Andrew Brandt, a former high school teacher and club adviser, has been the ideal leader. "Two grade school clubs with eighty members enjoyed a delightâ€" ful Mothers and Daughters Banquet and other programs during the first part of the year under Mrs. Gartâ€" ley‘s direction. Due to intermitâ€" tent leadership since her resignaâ€" tion these clubs are being reorganâ€" ized. Mrs. Lee Gatewood, as chairâ€" man, has been a popular hostess to all club girls.‘ Aside from this discussion of club or group work, Miss Robe spoke of the service program including room information, and emergency servâ€" ice and the social work of the Serv= ice League. The educational proâ€" gram, cooperating with the Adult Education Council, has featured the Community‘ Chorus, under the corâ€" dial chairmanship of Mrs. Garfield Canright and the capable direction of Mr. George Faulds, and the Thild Guidance course given by Dr. Irene Josselyn. "Ballet classes for girls and Soâ€" gial Dancing for Seventh and Eighth Grade and High School boys and girls have been conducted by Marian Keeney. A total of 348 were enrolled in these classes, Sixtyâ€" eight boys and girls, including a group of high school girls, as well as preâ€"school children, have enjoyed Gertrude Williams Butlers Draâ€" matic Classes. An audience of over two hundréd enjoyed the Christmas play. "Under the direction of In.‘ Hawes and her committee Communâ€" ity Vesper Services have been held every month from November to May. Ministers of Highland Park and Deerfield have cooperated in bringâ€" ing the religious message of the aftâ€" erncon and all the Y clubs have taken a turn at being hostesses for the pleasant tea hour following. Also under the Religions Education and Social Committees, the minisâ€" ters, their wives, and an active THB PRES8 worker from each church were enâ€" tertained at a luncheon that we might talk together regarding ways we might work together. Among outstanding events for the communâ€" ity was the September Open House when new families were especially invited. All events have been proâ€" moted by an active publicity comâ€" mittee." * ¢ Miss Robe had opened her reâ€" marks with a discussion of the viâ€" brancy and beauty an oil painting gains from the mingling of many hues, pointing out that all these basic colors represented the indiâ€" vidual volunteers work which made the finished canvas of the year full of beauty and meaning. She closed with a plea for inspired imaginaâ€" tion for the coming year, explaining "I used to think imagination meant seeing things that aren‘t there, but I know now it means seeing all the things that are really here." There had been a great chance for imagination to enjoy this anâ€" nual meeting, thought the guests, remembering the glimpse of China with Miss Pearce, the gay Italian music of Miss Santi, the cablegram from their everâ€"thoughtful presiâ€" dent across the ocean, the every day work ‘and friendliness back of the figures given by the two °Y secreâ€" taries in their reports for the sixâ€" tyâ€"two active volunteer workers contributing to the success of Highâ€" land Parks YWCA. Mrs. Brentano, who was / the daughter of Henry Claussénius, who was for many years Austroâ€"Hunâ€" garian consul in Chicago, celebratâ€" ed her golden wedding anniversary with her husband last May.
