> , ment." WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 9 Pageant of Flowers to Open Convention for Club Delegates T= biennial convention of the Gen- eral Federation of Women's clubs will convene on June 3 in Los Angeles, to last until June 18. Subjects of national importance will be considered by hundreds of delegates representing 28,000 organized women in the United States. Some of the ques- tions which will come up for discus- sion are World Peace, Immigration, In- ternational Relations, and what it is said, will be the most important issue of all, Law Enforcement. Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman of Colo- rado, who was identified with the civic and club life of Chicago for many years, has been chosen by the Illinois delega- tiontion as its candidate for president of the General Federation. Mrs. Sher- man, it is stated, was the only woman director serving on the board of the National War Garden commission dur- ing the war. Departures will be made from the usual speeches by high officials, and a pageant of flowers and fruits will wel- come the delegates on the night of open- Ing. Another innovation will be the manner in which the convention will be conducted; instead of the customary conference method, the greater part of each day will be devoted to each depart- ment of work, with the holding of main sessions. One outsanding day will be June 7 when a "play day" has been arranged. Excursions to mountain and beach re- sorts, to country clubs, movie theaters, and drives to the missions will be part of the program. Library Club Meets to Plan Membership Drive RS. Sherman M. Booth was ap- pointed chairman of the building committee for the proposed new club house at the meeting of the board of directors of the Woman's Library Club of Glencoe, held May 14, 1924. The financial department of this committee was organized May 19, at the home of the chairman with the following mem- bers: Mrs. Sherman M. Booth, chairman; Mrs. Chesley R. Perry, secretary; Mrs. Albert O. Olson, treasurer; Mrs. Wil- liam Cresmer, Mrs. Andrew Macl,eish and Mrs. Edward H. Ravenscroft. The president, Mrs. William A. Fox, has consented to act with the committee in her ex<officio capacity. The numerous methods by which the project can be financed, which were pre- sented and considered at this meeting, have inspired the committee with the ut- most confidence that the building pro- gram as outlined is both practical and feasible. The first step to be taken will be to increase the membership and stimulate interest by a membership drive, plans for which were made at a meeting of the members of the club on Monday morn- ing, May 26, at 10 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Booth, 265 Sylvan road. Mrs. Homer F. Horton, second vice president and chairman of the membership com- mittee, addressed the meeting. Wives of Rotarians Aid In Philanthropic Work OR weeks the local papers have been reporting the activities of two new chapters of an internationally known organization, the Wilmette and Winnetka "babes of Rotary." While conversing last week with a member of the family of one of the of- ficers of Rotary International, the edi- tor of this page was informed of a woni- an's organization that has come into ex- istence for the express purpose of as- siting Rotarians in the carrying out of their principle of "Service before Self. Wives of the members of the Chicago Rotary banded together and formed a club which they call' "The Women's Rotary of Chicago." The state - has granted them a charter for their phil- anthropic work. At present numbering 155, these women sewed for the Pak Ridge Home for Girls, the babies at the County hospital, and have helped the . Travelers' Aid society. During the past year they have made over 6000 garnients in addition to contributing over $1000 in funds. State Convention of Clubs Closed, May 22 HE twenty-ninth annual conven- tion of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs held in Moline, Illinois, closed on May 22, with the rec- ommendations of Mrs. George T. Palm- er, president, and the election of new officers. Mrs. Palmer counseled "constructive criticism of individual club policies, 'to- gether with general recommendations concerning the federation's attitude to- ward peace politics and law enforce- She urged that club platforms should not be for political purposes, "as the federation is non-political and pon- partisan," and that clubs should be cau- tious in "joining questionable peace or- ganizations, - or. in being influenced by 'peace at any price' talk which is a cloak for sedition." Two resolutions were unanimously adopted during the day's session; one LAW ENFORCEMENT TO BE IMPORTANT CONVENTION ISSUE approving restrictive and selective im- migration; the other, urging passage of the child labor amendment.
