Gives Campaign Hints The opening of the membership drive for the Winnetka league is ex- pected to be auspicious as a result of this school. Mrs. Rittenhouse sug- gested that arguments to be used on prospective members might be: "Do you wish to be well informed? No woman can nowadays afford to be un informed." "The membership fee in- cludes a bulletin issued by the State league, which contains the programs of national, state and local leagues." "Education as to principles of govern ment and administration is primary- not active legislation." Mrs. John N. VanderVries, presi dent of the Winnetka league, assigned each precinct to a definite place in the assembly room, where they talked, while luncheon was served by members of the board. Following luncheon, an original play- let, "A Block Captain's Adventure," was presented by Mrs. Edwin E. Brown, the author. Mrs. James Dem- ing was the block captain who in- dustriously and successfully went after memberships for the League of Women Voters during a membership campaign. Her "victims" were gath- ered in the home of Mrs. Homewood 'Mrs. James A. Richards) for a meet- ing of the P. T. A. The group repre- sented four types of women the block captain will encounter and was repre- sented by Mrs. Kerr, church woman (Mrs. A. M. Ferry); Mrs. Wholesome, a very capable and desirable person for any group (Mrs. Wallace Rum- sey), and Mrs. Hiding, the active woman who belongs to five weekly bridge clubs and other uplift organiza- tions (Mrs. L. Harrison Mattler). | New Class for Beginners Starting now--in MELODY WAY CLASS PIANO Mrs. Helen Philleo Weston 941 Tower Rd. Appointments may be made by calling Winnetka 2662. SCHOOL Corinne M.
