Loan Fund Important 1
Federation Activity
The Rio Grande Valley Federation of Women's Clubs meets In con
tention semi-annually, but the work of the organization continues
throughout the whole of the twelve months each year. Of primary import
ance is the Educational Loan fund that was Instituted by this organ iza
lAjkm in 1921 with a fund that first year of $270, which has grown from
mat smau Deginmn 10
present time. The loan fund has
been raised bv a yearly assessment
on all clubs affiliated with the fed
eration, no club be.ng ablp to hold
membership in the federation with
out contributing to the fund, thus
eliminating any club which exists
for itself alone. Self improvement
clubs and service clubs all pay the
same amount.
It is interesting to note that in
the nine years of the existence of
the student, loan fund that the com
mittee has been able to make 26
loans to 22 girls, these loans total
ing $4,625. without the loss of a
penny and at an administration
cost of 2 3-4 per cent. Every girl
who has been a beneficiary of the
fund has become self supporting
through its use. Had the fedcra- i
tion no further excuse for its being,1
the work done through the Educa-,
tional Loan Fund, would JustiJy Us
existence.
The Federation <oan Fund is for
girls who reside In the territory
covered by the federation, the maxi
mum sum of the loans being $250.
There Is no Interest charged a girl
unless her note should not be paid
nt maturity, but good security is
required. To date every girl has
met her obligation pro ptly. often
much in advance of the maturity of
her note. To receive . loan the
girl must make application indi
cating the amount desired and the
& oi she wishes to attend. The
ftnhcation must be accompanied by
a wealth cerificate, a certificate
from an authorized pers-n that she
has completed high school and Is
capable of doing vork in the school
of her choice, a character certifi
cate and a letter of endorsement
from a federated club in her com
munity.
Mrs J. A. Card bf Mission is
chairman of the committee, Mrs.
J. C. Myrick, Harlingen, treasurer,
and Mrs. Fred «. Wright. Mer

the committee are: Mrs. E. J.

BETTER HOMES
LEADER NAMED
Mrs. Volney W. Taylor has been
appointed chairman of the 1930 Bet
ter Homes in America campaign In
Brownsville. The Campaign is sche
duled to be^in in April.
The object of the campaign is to
promote more attractive and com

anc! aid that various national or
ganizations and government bureaus
can furnish. By practical local de-'
monstrations. ;hey reach not only
families who are meeting problems
for the first time, but others who are
striving to improve their home en
vironment and to bring up healthy
happy children well fitted to carry
in the tasks that lie ahead in our i
national life.” *
Plans for the local campaign have
not yet been mapped ou, but arc tc
be announced at an early date. Mrs

Why punish the one and jet tolerate the tiitiiv

Certified Cremo. Every tobacco leaf entering the

cigars without the possibility of spit!
