WOMENTO CELEBRATE WEDNESDAY Itis ifteth Birthday of General Federation ~15,000 Clubs WASHINGTON, April 20.—Smart- ing under the refusal to admit women to a banquet given to honor Charles Dickens when he visited New York in 1868, the indignant women decided that such a thing should never again happen and at| once organized a club, Sorosis, To celebrate its 21st birthday is jssued a call to all women's clubs to meet in New York. Sixty-five res- ponded and organized the General Federation. The following year, April 24, 1850, the ratification convention was held. Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown of New Jersey was the first President Next. Wednesday, April 24, is the 50th birthday of the General Fed- eration. Today it has a_membership of more than 2000000 women in over 15,000 clubs in this and 81 for- | eign countries. In 1901 the Federa- | tion was granted a perpetual charter | by the United States Government | “for educational, industrial, philan- | thropic, literary, artistic and scien- | tific culture.” Fifty years ago unlyi so-called radical and strong-minded women joined clubs, and even they restricted their activities largely to social gatherings, art, literature, and other cultural subjects. But Jennie June Croly, & newspaper woman, the | President of Sorosis, and a few| others had a vision far beyond their time of women's place in the world of the future, and “Unity of Diversity” was the motto adopled at the first meeting. Under this motto the proeram nf| the Federation has been expanded and developed until it touches prac- tically every phase of human interest and welfare from art and essay con- tests to legislation of world impor- tance.

The objectives sought in the bill to expand the federal public health service had the hearty endorsement of the Federation, as did also the bill for federal aid for education without federal control of policies.

Winter, a | Past President, says: “The General | Federation of Women's Clubs is a group of organized women in every | community who can be depended upcn to promote ali inovements logking toward the betterment of life.” The aptness of this definition is revealed by a brief summary of today’s program. Federation Aims The Federation aims to improve the status of community health by bringing to the attention of the women of this country the health sroblems and the facilities for hand- ling these problems in their com- munities and states, in order that they may Intelligently assist the local department of health and cooperate with other accredited professional and voluntary health agencies. Spec- ifically the program calls for (1) sus- tained support of activities and standards in public health admin- istration; (2) health conferences in cooperation with established health educational agenciec; (3) education- al programs regarding prenatal, ma- ternal and infant hygiene, mental hygiene, cripple children, pneumon- ia, tuberculesis, cancer and syphilis; (4) a study of the United States Na- tional Health Program. The develop- ment and strengthening of local ser- vices is stressed with special refer- ence to the dependent child, the de- linquent child, and the handicapped child.
