War Work Occupies Sunset Beach Woman's Club
War work dominates Sunset Beach Woman's club activities under press chair S. G. Varley. Twenty members met at Irene Russell's studio for a luncheon session. They made about 500 buttonholes for Red Cross garments and crafted snow suits used as samples in Southern California. Members wrap splints for five first aid stations and plan an all day session March 20. They distribute home made pies to servicemen, run a paper and rag drive, and will buy defense bonds. A rag from Sadie Fowler went to Charlotte Bush. A public card party is set for March 27 at Russell's studio.
