Welfare Work Of The Women's Clubs
The General Federation of Women’s Clubs drives public welfare through social service programs across states. Tennessee funds a $5000 admin building for a girls’ vocational school and four state federation members join the school’s advisory committee. Bethlehem PA clubs fund milk for undernourished schoolchildren, mostly relief families, aided by bridge parties and local businesses. Milwaukee County clubs target pinball bans and gambling evils, while Beloit WI outfits a hospital with a respirator incubator and plans a maternal milk laboratory. The report notes liquefied gas systems’ mixed success and higher municipal rates compared with private providers, urging municipally owned systems to match private pricing.
