The clubhouse will look like Santa's workshop when club mem bers gather September 16, equipped with seals, ribbons and scissors, to wrap gift packages for their friends overseas. Since the inauguration of the world relations department early this summer, the club’s idea for year-’round aid to war-stricken Eu ropean families has been received by its members with increasing en thusiasm. The club's overseas fami ly now has grown to 48, and in cludes all ages. On the gayly illustrated circular received by club members this month they are asked to choose one from the different age groups listed, and pack his box. Each gift box will contain a small gift, a bar of soap, washrag, small boxes of candy in tin cans, some cosmetics, socks, mittens, toothpaste, tooth brush and other needed items. "This will probably be the only Christinas that these families will! have," the circular reminds, "and we want to send these packages wrapped just as though we were doing them for friends.” It is suggested, too. that members look around their homes for any Christmas ornaments that are not breakable, so that they may be in cluded in the boxes for their friends’ Christmas trees. In its September bulletin the j club has also introduced to its mem jbers its new and charming execu I five secretary. Miss Nancie Holland. 'Miss Holland is English-born, re j ceived part of her education in England and in the United States, and has lived a great deal of her i life in Bermuda. She came to the Capital a year ago.
