A TON ROUGE WOMA N'S
CLUB HOUSE IS PRAISED
BY NEW ORLEANS BODY
The past month has been an un
ually active one for the Woman's
ab house. It is worth while not
g the diversity of interests that
fostered under one roof. It does
m as of no woman's pet hobby,
ent or vocation has been slighted
fter one glance at a random page
atm the Chairman of the Schedule
pmmittee's note book. Music, drama,
ýnsehold affairs, civic matters, are
ypnd to be well represented there.
bdeed, an expression heard with
cpwing frequency is: "How did we
er do' without the Club House?"
It gave Baton Rouge women a thrill
Spride to read in last Sunday's
mesPicayune an article quoting
reral of the New Orleans delegates
Sthe Fedration convntion as saying
at the local club house had been
inspiration to the women of New'
eans, who are now working to
nize on the same financial plans
ours.
Speaking of finances, we must not
sight of the unpleasant fact that
have a $2,000 note, with interest,
t meet in July. It is going to take
slot of hard work in the way in en
Iitainments, as well as campaign for
uw members to meet this obligation.
bl Finance Committee expects to
-art this campaign in earnest this

p.operate in finding new stockholders.
At a meeting of the Board of Di
actors Monday, it was decided to
liae an entertainment for the benefit

Definite plans will be announced later.

FEDERA TION PRESIDENT
ASKS CO-OPERATION OF
CLUBS-RURAL WORKERS
HEROES IN THEIR TEENS.
There are over 500 boys in the
United States who have received
medals for saving life at the rish of
their own.
It did not require a Boy Scout Move
ment to make boys heroic. But it
did seem to require that movement
to teach boys to be prepared to meet
temergencies in which heroism would
count for little without knowledge of
what to do. This week all are glad
to give a thoufht to what the Scout
Movement is doing for our boys. How I
many of us know what a splendid rec
ord scouts have as life-savers, and in
meeting emergencies that threaten
life and property?
The truth is, it has become such a
matter-of-fact thing to expect scouts
to help fight epidemics, floods, fires,
panics, that we forget that they are
boys who are doing these things. In
twelve years, boyhood in America has
been trained to give organized, intelli
gent, efficient sedvice in combating
some of worst foes to public safety.
The National Court of Honor of the
Boy Scouts of America, awards
special medals to scouts who risk their
lives trying to save others. In the
twelve years of Boy Scout history,
543 such honor medals have been
awarded, and many letters of com
mendation in addition for heroic acts
involving lesser risk. These are in
dividual heroes. The list of Calami
ties in which whole troops of scouts
have given heroic service in aiding
the authorities to relieve suffering
and prevent th spread of danger, is
a long one. The Toms River Explo
sion, the Pueblo and the San Antonio
Floods, the Influenza epidemic of 1918
are merely examples. Our own Scouts
have met their opportunities in hero
ic fashion, and are daily preparing
themselves to meet others like heroes.
My dear Clubwomen-I have been
thinking, writing, dreaming, nothing
but Parent-Teacher work and rural
clubs for the past month. Two let
ters were sent out to club presidents
throughout the state. The following
to clubs where a home Demonstra
tion Agent is already working in the
'parish:
Dear Madam President-One of the
greatest opportunities to extend the
influence of our Federated Clubs and
to bring the country women and the
j town women into closer relationship,
is through the Home Demonstration
Agent. Do you know the Demonstra
tion Agent in your parish? She is
interested in solving the problems of
the woman who dwells on the farm.
One of these is the need of contact
with other women and the need of
group study of the problems of rural
life.
Your club means much to you and
to the community in which you live;
but your club like most others was
formed after the pattern of some
lother club, and had for a nucleus
some women who were experienced in
club work. Will it not be possible
for you or sore one, of whose capa
bilities you have better knowledge
than I, to help the Demonstration
Agent in your parish to organize and
carry forward these rural clubs?
This is one of the big things club
women are doing in other states.
Where the farm women are ready
for it, a parish organization is form
ed which meets once a month at the
county seat and brings town and
country women together, but in most
of our parishes the country women
are timid about organization, but
ready to take advantage of the pro
gram furnished by the Extension De
partment. I am writing to the Pres
