N. J. Mosquito Extermination Association 37 



39. The woman's club of Camden reports organizing a club of 

 foreign-born women. 



40. Several clubs have established dental clinics. 



41. Englewood Woman's Club secured a half-holiday on Wed- 

 nesday, when all her shops are closed. 



42. Dressmaking and millinery classes open to all in the com- 

 munity (taught by club women). 



43. One club has established a club library. Each member 

 gives two books a year, one for an adult and one for a child. It 

 has been very much enjoyed and of great service to club mem- 

 bers and their children where no public library exists. 



44. All sorts of things, like rolling chairs, sickroom outfits, 

 thousands of bouquets, baskets of Xmas dinners, delicacies for 

 the hospitals, complete baby outfits, I will mention in passing 

 through the great work done by the clubs. 



45. Clubs are always raising money for charities by card par- 

 ties, cake sales, bazaars and street fairs. This money is used in 

 so many ways that it is hard to mention, but I will tell a few of 

 charities for which we all work : 



1. The home for the aged. 



2. The home for the blind. 



3. The day nursery. 



4. The community house. 



46. Story hour started at the library by club members and 

 maintained by them throughout the year. 



47. One of the biggest things ever done by a club was accom- 

 plished by the Perth Amboy Woman's Club. 



At the time of the Morgan disaster it was the club which was 

 first to organize its help. Those who remained in town opened 

 their houses to care for and feed the motor corps girls who came 

 from all about us. 



Many of us ran regular hotels in our own homes for the girls' 

 comfort. Following this came the establishment of temporary 

 hospitals for all the refugees who flocked into war city sick unto 

 death. The woman's club established a bureau where all who 

 were willing to cook or nurse applied, and as fast as they came 

 we found work for them to do. It was part of my own work to 

 visit every hospital every day and find out what was needed in 

 supplies and nurses, and then to get it. Some of us must have 

 been needed, because in spite of standing with the dead and the 

 dying every hour of the day, we were given the strength and 

 health and courage to the end. This work could not have been 

 accomplished but for the organization of the woman's club.
