Mrs. Frank Neely, the president, opened the meeting with a prayer. The minutes of the last regu lar and board meetings were read. The treasurer’s report was given. Mrs. Neely called on the officers f,,r their annual reports. The report of the treasurer was excellent both in »hat the books were in excellent shape as to system and accuracy, and the organization in wonderful financial condition. Mrs. J. Sommerfield, chairman of the Red Cross committee, reported that aid was given the Red Cross by the council for relief work and all emergencies as well as constant work at Hospital No. 48. The social service committee, under Mrs. Maurice Jaco bus, has had under its supervision many cases whom the committee feels have been greatly benefited by their aid. Mrs. Max Gholstin in charge of \ mericanization, has begun teaching cooking to the foreign mothers as a part of the Americanization, as she feels that the more nearly like native horn they become, the closer harmony will be between mother and child and fellow countrymen in the land of their adoption. The work for the blind has been ably done by Mrs. J. Bloom, who has represented the council in this?’ work in connection with other civic organizations; at present Mrs. Bloom is working with the state in making a survey of the situation. The council library, under Mrs. B. Z. Phillips, made an excellent showing for the year, both MRS. HAAS in interest taken in it and its financial standing. Mrs. Leonard Haas has kept the organization in touch with impor tant legislation during the year so that the membership would register and vote at the appointed times; her plea for talking and thinking peace has ever been before the section. All the remaining committee heads made excellent and thorough reports. Mrs. Neely, the outgoing president, gave an excellent report. The report consisted in a general resume of the work done by her fellow officers and a word of thanks to them for their excellent co-operation. The report pointed out to the membership what the office had meant to her and what exactly the council was doing. Mrs. Leonard Haas then presented a plaque to Mrs. Neely in appreciation for her work done for the council for the past five years. Mrs. Haas pointed out that it is often said that an officer takes an office to do honor to herself, but with Mrs. Neely, she has truly done honor to the office.
