Mrs. Laird for the committee on Home Economics reported that several ten-minute talks on food conservation had been arranged for different meetings of the club. Mrs. Coe reported that the entertainer for Children's Day would probably be a magician, Mr. J. DeVere Simmons. Several communications were read by the President from different organizsations asking for resistance, - the Sailors' Haven, Salvation Army, National War Savings Committee, and from the local branch of the Committee of Public Safety. To this last organization it was thought that the club might contribute something from its war relief fund, and the Board therefore VOTED that it be recommended to the club that twenty dollars be given to the local branch of the Committee on Public Safety. The President reported that toward our quote for the Endowment Fund of the General Federation ($75.00), $28.90 had thus far been collected. The decision as to the appropriation of the balance was left until a later meeting.
