The Cedars, February 2nd. 1950.
1,084 meeting.

After luncheon, served at The Cedars, we walked down the hall
to West Cedars, where the meeting was called to order about 2 o'clock,
by Rose Gilpin. The two sets of minutes were read, and those for
Rose Hill were approved.

The Treasurer reported $17. in dues collected, which with the
$21. in hand gives us a balance of $38. We deciced to send a $10.
CARE package to Europe, and the motion was duly made, seconded and
carried.

The next place ofmeeting will be Fairfield, with Fanny Iddings,
Alice Pierce and Deb. Willson.

For her sentiment Helen Hallowell read a quotation by Geo.
McDonald from the front of the Friend's Intelligencer, and for
her's Helen Farquhar read an editorial from The Washington Star on
Tolorance.

Helen Moore, an article by A.J. Cronin, "The Sun that could
shine". How few of us give thanks for what we have and when things
look dark, realize, "The Sun can Shine."

Rose Hutton read an item from the Public Health magazine,
"What happened yesterday is history, tomorrow is guess-work, look to
today."

Sallie Brooke, a guest told the person who said she knew
worrying helped, because the things you worried aboue never happened.

Rebecca Small, an airplane view of Siberria, and life in that
frozen place.

Dr. Crum had brought the same article.

Esther Stabler, two quotations from the front of The Intelligencer.

Mrs. Greotz, a guest, who has lived all her life in Japan, told
of The Tokyo Woman's Club, of which she was President when the war
started. They had 370 members, and met once a week. The membership
included all nationalities, and they are just now re-organizing.
The old Japan is a thing of the past, there is even very little
of the national dress worn, and even their diet has changed with
the foreign influx, as meet, fowl and bread have all been added. Many
questions were asked, and answered in a most interesting way, giving
the first hand knowledge of one who has not just visited for a short
time, but who has spent her life there, and lived through the changes.
One of the out-standing changes being in the Royal family, whom she
had visited before and after the war.

Stella Moore read an article from a paper telling of the
doll-house of 1820 and the wooden dolls carved over a hundred years
ago for Dr. Sam Rumford's grandmother, and now owned by him. Before
he became crippled he carved some furniture to add to it.

Ethel Thomas, "How an angel looks".

Isabel Wesley had a questionire, which we refused to answer
as she did not offer a large enough "Jack-pot".

Elsie Stabler read a real classic, "How to guess your age".

Betsy Moore Mitchell, a guest expressed pleasure at being
with us. She told of "The Waverly Club2, to which she belongs, and
of which her mother-in-law was a charter member some fifty years ago.

Mariana Miller, "What can I do the whole year through". Her
question as to whether there is another tinner available, was not
answered, but made a lot of conversation. Mr. Murphy seems too busy
