NEED FOR SOGAL *SERVE AE CTED Monday Evening Club Holds Anniversary Dinner—Co- Operation Necessary. The Monda; Evening Club held its twenty.ninth anniversary dinner last Tiight at Rauscher's, when soclal serv- ice.work, its needs and its goals, was discussed by prominent speakers. With 125 persors present and a set of especlally appealing addresses on the program, the dinner was declaged one of the most successful ever held By _the club, Walter S. Ufford, executlve secre- tary of the Assoclated Charitles and & former president of the Monday Evening Club, called for a program that would carry a special appeal to ¥all persons who are Interested in some one else than themselves,” and declared that a study should be made that such a schedule could be worked ut. Need for Service Great. , Never before, Mr. Ufford said, was the need for soclal service greater, and he stressed the necessity for co- operation on the part of ali individ- vals and organizations interested in that work. The time for social serv- ice workers to work “all for one and one for all” has arrived, he asserted. Past Pre:. “ent Speaks. One of the most Interesting fea- tures was a series of short addresses by past presidents of the club, in Wwhich the speakers discussed “Presi- dential Hobbles.” The discussion brought out just how each of the re- tired executives had contributed much toward the success of the club and ! gave a better understanding of what the club in turn had done for Wash- ington. B. Packmann discussed the earliest struggles of the club and how it came into existence. George S. Wilson re- ferred to the benefits that had come 10 social service work as a result of it being now regarded as one of the higher professions.

Mr. Dolph declared the business men should not throw thelr money away on unworthy projects but should in- vestigate first and then Invest part of thelr wealth in work that would do the most good. Selden M. Ely occuplied his time with the city's schools and their needs. Charles F. Nesbit talked about civic duty and soclal service work. He sald that one of the outstanding dutles of every soclal service worker was to lead ~the community to a higher realization of clvic loyalty and an un- derstanding of the good the com- munity can do. Willlam Hard, Washington news- told the diners that too often overzealous workers accept the truth of the old maxim that the end in anything good justifies the means. Such a philesophy, he sald, not infrequently leads to the establishment of dangerous prece- dents. He referred to the lack of self-government in Washington. “Nowhere in the United States,” the speaker sald, “Is public spirit so low as it is in Washington. Stop trylng to increase the power of tha Federal Government. Preserve the spirit of local self-government and abllity. Clvic character can be pro- duced only by civic responsibility and local self-government.” Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle, head of the Women's Bureau of the Police Department, told of the work and aspirations of the bureau”over which she presides. Rev. Dr. John Van Shaick, jr., a former president, was toastmaster. Rev. George M. Diffen- derfer pronounced the invocation. Rev. Dr. W. L. Darby, president of the club, and executlve secretary of the Federation of Churches of the District of Columbla, urged church- men to take more interest In social service work and welfare laws.
