Approximately | twenty_members were in attendance at this session, which was presided | over by the President, Mrs. Ray G.| | Day. | An interesting file of correspon- | dence included letters from the | women’s Clubs at Haines, Skagway, | and Wrangell, all of whom present-' | ed candidates for the various Feds eration offices for which election will be held in April, letters from assoclate members at Bethel, Per- ryville, and Atka, and the finan-; | zial report on the Alaska Federation | i Year book published last year.

After discussion by members pres- ent it was decided to renew the re- quest to the Forestry for a foot path, since this would not require the expenditure necessary for survey- ing and constructing a cyclé' path, which seemed to be the principal objection to the construction of the latter. It was pointed out that a great many people walk for some distance along the highway, coming and going to work, and also hiking for pleasure, and that traffic on this narrow road makes walking dan- gerous. A foot path constructed near the road would greatly obviate this danger, it was felt by the women assembled. Definite decision to reopen its athletic group, organized some years ago, and later abandoned, was pro- mised as a part of the club’s work for next year. Plans will be made toward that end, so that club mem- bers desiring physical training or other athletic activities may find provision made for it under good leadership. It was decided to told the weekly meeting of the Household Arts group, on Wednesday, instead of on Thursday as in the past as a Thurs- day hour cunflicts with the program of many who would like to attend. Meetings will be held either in the afternoon or evening as may be de- termined by the hostess in charge, and members also decided that some of the meetings would be held in the homes of the various host- esses, at least a part of the time. Attention was called to the Pub- lic Forums to be held on the next two Sundays, under the auspices of the Department of International Relations of both the Juneau Wo- man’s Club and the Business and Professional Women's Club of Ju- neau. Three speakers have been se- cured for each of these meetings, the first of which will be held Sun- day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Elks Hall. “The Cause and Cure of War,” will be the topic of the fer- ums, which will be presided over by Charles Hawkesworth. Mrs, Crystal Snow Jenne is the club’s represen- tative on this branch of work. The social meeting for March will be held under the auspices of the Department of Fine Arts of which Mrs. Harold Smith is chairman. A luncheon followed by an interesting program will be featured, details of which will be announced later. THis department will also be in charge of two of the club’s Tuesday after- noon radio hours, for March, S SHONBECK HERE A. A.
