WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES Phone 2206 Delegates Attend County Meeting Of Women's Clubs Delegates from all over Orange county gathered to celebrate the 33rd annual convention of the Orange County Federation of Women's clubs last Friday, an all-day affair beginning at 10 a.m., at the Methodist church, 161 South Orange street, Orange, with Mrs. Arthur A. May, president, presiding. Opening the morning session, was the invocation by Rev. George Root, pastor of the Methodist church of Orange. Mrs. James E. Donegan, president of the Orange Women's club, greeted the group with Mrs. George Wheat, vice president of the Orange County federation, responding. During the business meeting, the resignations of Mrs. S. S. Twombly of Fullerton, crafts chairman and Mrs. Robert Campbell, American citizenship chairman for the southern district and Orange county literature chairman, were accepted with regrets. Mrs. August E. Schumacher of Anaheim was named as new American citizenship chairman, and Mrs. L. L. Beeman of Santa Ana was named as new Bible chairman for Orange county. Two-minute reports of "Highlights of the Club Year" were presented by club presidents. Kenyon Scudder, superintendent of the Chino institution for men, spoke on the methods of rehabilitation of men, mentally, physically and socially. He gave a re- Ruby Goodwin Speaks to Merry Martha Circle Mrs. Ruby Berkley Goodwin of Fullerton, negro poetess, was the witty and eloquent guest speaker at the Merry Martha, evening circle of the White Temple Methodist church meeting last Monday night at 7:30 at the home of Miss Ruth Starr, 206 South Ohio street. Before a captivated audience of 23 ladies, Mrs. Goodwin described how she began writing poetry for a mid-western school paper at the age of 12 years. A spontaneous poet, and mother of six children, she laughingly remarked that the inspiration for a poem might come during the middle of a big washing, and accordingly, be set down on a shopping list or sugar sack. One book of her poems entitled, "Through My Kitchen Window," which brought her nation-wide acclaim, is now out of publication awaiting revision. A beautiful dedication to the famous Mrs. Sullivan, "Five Gold Star Mother," has also been published. A cook of 12 of her negro spirituals have been dramatized in New York. She is now working on another book to be published this summer. The living religion which flows through all her poetry, making each poem a sermon in itself, was beautifully expressed in her presentation of several of her works. Outstanding and appropriate was her symbolic poem written in 1940, on the Easter Two-minute reports of "Highlights of the Club Year" were presented by club presidents. Kenyon Scudder, superintendent of the Chino institution for men, spoke on the methods of rehabilitation of men, mentally, physically and socially. He gave a resume of the institutional history and described what is has meant to the state since its founding. Miss Dorcas Turner, dean of girls at Fullerton high school, presented a scintillating talk on "Women of Mexico." Included was her description of the four classes she had observed in Mexico—servant class, business and professional, vendors and senors, head of the household menage. Following a delicious luncheon served at the Orange Women's clubhouse, the song contest opened the afternoon session with representatives from Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana participating. Several selections were sung by members of the music section of the Ebell club of Santa Ana, including a beautiful spiritual and "Prayer" from "Hansel and Gretel." After district officers living in the county were introduced, Mrs. A. C. Kieser of Riverside, southern district president of the Federation Women's clubs, addressed the group. She stressed the idea that women must take their place in the world and face responsibilities, both nationally and internationally, saying that "peace must begin in the hearts of women" and that "democracy, before it can save the world, must save itself." "The Convergion of Christine," by Ethel Burke Wheat was the dramatic highlight of the affair. The state prize play was presented by the drama section of the Santa Ana Ebell under the direction of Estelle Gard Beeman. Members of the cast were Carol Cohrt, Lucy Marshall, Daisy Grinnage, Rose Clausen and Mary Lou Barret. As an overture to the state prize play, Mrs. Arthur May of Santa Ana sang "Just an Old Fashioned Garden." Church Class Honors Rev.-Mrs. Berg Tuesday Eve The living religion which flows through all her poetry, making each poem a sermon in itself, was beautifully expressed in her presentation of several of her works. Outstanding and appropriate was her symbolic poem written in 1940, on the Easter cross on Mount Rubidoux near Riverside in the fog, which she had viewed with the feeling of forewarning of events to come. Well known and popular speaker, Mrs. Goodwin has resided in Fullerton for the last 18 years. She is a graduate from San Diego State Normal Teachers college and had taken a post-graduate course at Fullerton junior college. Mrs. Eleanor Ashleigh, chairman of the council of the Protestant Youth of Orange county, announced that a highly successful campaign had been completed by the group. Proceeds will go to the groups' institute this summer. Delicious refreshments and a scintillating social hour concluded the festivities. Mrs. D. J.

The Rev. and Mrs. Berg and their family are leaving the latter part of this month, possibly the 29th, for La Mesa where he has accepted a pastorate. Friday evening the entire church is honoring Rev. and Mrs. Berg with another farewell courtesy.

Sam Lacy and associates of KMPC were most hospitable to the members of the chorus and praised them highly.
