THURSDAY, October 5, 1944 SOCIETY WOMEN' By M. EBELL CLUB HAS GENERAL MEETING FOR FIRST SESSION OF NEW YEAR The opening general meeting of the Ebell club for the fall season was a fine inspiration of the year of work ahead of the members of the various sections, when more than two hundred and fifty ladies met at the Ebell Clubhouse last Monday afternoon, the meeting starting with a luncheon at 12:30 o'clock. Presiding over the luncheon and the general meeting following, was the new president, Mrs. John Wilson, who gave her welcoming talk to those present, keynoting a spirit of friendliness for the new year that lies ahead. Decorations for the luncheon were cleverly designed by Mrs. H. E. W. Barnes, Mrs. John Boege, Miss Frances Backs and Mrs. C. W. Austin, who also planned the delightful luncheon. Additional decorative notes were the red and white pamphlet folders, explaining the coming Red Cross home nursing classes starting on Oct. 25 and November 1. Mrs. H. J. Fackiner, chairman of the work, explained the course. Speaker for the luncheon was Mrs. George Wheat of Newport Beach, who was presented by Mrs. Leo J. Friis, legislation chairman. Mrs. Wheat chose to speak on "Rights and Privileges of American Citizens," especially stressing the need of voting, every true American's heritage, explaining that a large percentage of Americans take their citizenship for granted and do not exercise their rights in going to the voting polls to help the American way of life, by voicing their privileges through their candidates. This sense of freedom through voting is shown by the spirit of patriotism by the greater portion of naturalized Americans who appreciate this freedom extended to them when they took the oath of allegiance to this country. Mrs. J. Ben Kaulbars, the new Junior Ebell sponsor was introduced, who in turn presented Mrs. William Cook, president of that club. Several announcements of future meetings of the sections were made. Also seventeen new members were introduced to the assemblage. The afternoon session was highlighted with a delightful program given by Betty Roadman, author, dramatist and impersonator, who gave a diversified program, in well chosen plays and poems. Introducing her was Mrs. August Schumacher, program chairman. The beloved poems of Edgar A. Guest; works from Don Blanding's book, "Pilot Bails Out"; a clever impersonation taken from an idea from the famed cartoon, "Grin and Bear it"; poems bringing a picture of boys from overseas, in hospitals, realities spiced with humor and pathos, brought to the guest artist close audience. Concluding the affair program, Miss Roadmasters Christmas story, "Bringing back the yesteryear, and the her program was entitled, 'Not in written by Ann Mucepted by the Light in New York,' a bidding."
