F OUNDER'S DAY, MAY lST 21ST ANNIVERSARY

Each member and pledge can take pr ide in being a part of Epsilon Sigma Alpha. Each one of you receives the ·cr edit for the accomplighments of twen­ty thou.sand young women. "All for one and one . for all" means that all of you act in the name of your sorority and '-../ all of you share equally in the excellent r eputation Epsilon Sigma Alpha has at­tained. These accomplishments .. were

not easily achieved, and all of you are to be congratulated on being a part of the ·organization.

But being a part of Epsilon- ·Sigma Alpha is only half of the story. Is E.S.A. a part of Y·OU? Do you feel the differ-

'--./ ence-the difference between being an E.S.A. and not being one? When Ep­silon Sigma Alpha is part of your life, your viewpoint is turned outward, not

"-...../ .inward, your dreams and aspirations are higher, your personality sparkles and your step is lighter. A chance to serve is welcomed: it doesn't seem like an "imposition."

You may lack the perfection of fea­ture and complextion which is the com­merdal standard of prettiness, but you !have a gift more valuable-the beauty that c·omes from within. It shines through those imperfections that are really so unimportant. What's import-' ant is that E.S.A. is a part of you. It makes the difference.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Try and plan your vacation to include the International Convention at Evans-ville, Indiana. \...___/

There is a big misunderstanding in some of our new chapters about the $1.00 State dues.

This is payable once a year before May 31.st.

Every member in Kansas owes her State dues at this time for 1950-51. Send this $1.00 per member with her name and \.___../ address to Beryle Elliott, 2083 Lane, Topeka, Kansas. This pays all Council expenses such as 1Stationery, Stamps, and telephone calls. Your past State President is sent to international con­vention with a small fee to :J:ielp say thanks to a job well done.

You are sent a copy of the minutes of the last State Convention so you will be informed of what took place.

Your. State membership cards are paid for by •the $1.00. '--./

All letters and information necessairy to you sent by your State. officers· or in­dividual members Ls paid for by this $1.00. Now last but not least is your News and Views. I plan on sending out about 11 copies this year by the 1951 state convention coming in April.

Now I don't feel that anyone should complain that they don't get enough benefit from their $1.00.

It is much nicer to solve Kansas prob- "--.../ lems in Kansas without having to bother International office. This is what you elected the Council officers to do.

Now what is your problem?

Answer your .officers letters, you owe it to her.

She is trying to do a good. Help her all you can. One way is to let her know if you disapprove or agree of the ma­terial she is presenting.

AURICULAR FOUNDATION I notice that tr.1ere are a few chapters

still contributing to the Aurcilur Founda­tion, after the .State voted that we would not support this project.

Some careful •oorrespondence was car­ried out with the Calif'.lrnia Intelligence Bureau about the situation of the Founda ­tion, Mr. Samuel Haig Jameson, direc­tor of research, has this to report;

1. Financially, its 1946 inco]lle, as re­ported by the executive director, was $2,083.65 witrn total expenses of $2,118.38. An annual budget of approximately $2,000.00 is self explantory to invite ad­ditional comment. However, the source of income sheds some light on the per­cariousness of the total situation, name­ly, that daring the past year Los Angeles County is a lleged to have contributed $50 per month to the Foundation (as re­ported by Hargrave, ·but still not veri­fied) . The Epsilon Sigma Alpha Sorori­ty (local ·chapter) No: 1100 in two years $248.58 from sale of "audiogram cards" to schools, teacihing, etc. : and about $800 from gifts, contributions, etc. Morever, although the stated salary of the execu­tive is $3,000 per year and that of the assistant $2,000, Last year the former re­ceived only $1,800 and the latter nothing. While 10 classifications of membership ranging in dues from $1 to $10,000 exist, only 200-300 a.ssociate members of $1 are claimed .by Har'grave. No exact inform­ation is available.

2. In t erms of Personnel, the .situa­tion is not in any more enivable posi­tion than finandally. Mr. Hargrave, a self-educated m an, conducts audiometric tests. Alt:Jhough without any academic , even secondary s•chool background, he

has taught one .summer .session course at Occidential College to teachers and at Claremont College to prospective teachers on the problems of the hard­of-hearing. Mrs. Hargrave is said to be teaching at the County Juvenile Hall. Non-res.ident sta;f.f primarily refers to ~ Dr. Melverton E. Trainor, who examines special cases referred to him by Har­grave. Hence, tlhe range of the staff is limited in terms of extent 1and depth.

3. As for function, in the social .ser­vice field, the Foundation is confined to the handling of cases in the Los Angeles· '-..._../ County Juvenile Hall. The pr·obation d;eparltm1ent used to work with the Foundation in years past, but recently there seems to have come some gap in the relationship . For the work done at tlhe Juvenile Hall , one .of the "competi­tors" in the field says tha.rt "what Har­·grave is doing is better than none." In addition to work with the Juvenile Hall, the FoundaHon handles private cases· who seek counseling on hearing apparatus. Subject does not enjoy the confidence of the Welfare Council and the Commun-ity Chest, nor of Wle private or semi- ~ priv1aite or public agencies w.ith the problem of hard-of-hearing.

" Future prospects of the Auricular F oundation are based upon phantasy -mther than Social realities. Antidpated 'f.inancial and -m;oral" .assistance from the National Epsilon Sigma Alpha Sorori­ty has the ear marks of becoming abor­tive."

Contemplated printing of stamps, sim-ilar to that of Ohristmas se·als for Tuberculosis as.s•ociation to be sponsored by the E'8A sorority is sheer hoping. An underground edifice (for reasons of acoustics primarily and because archi- \...____,/ tecturally it is cheaper to construct) as· "hear.ing research institute ·for physi-cians a nd nurses" mtght be relega ted to the realm of day dreaming. The mobile clinic for rural areas is within the range of practical accomplislhment prnv.ided in the •community for financial aid to the foundation and has received not one single reply to •the 1appeal made is in for disillusti'onment if such wishful think-ing persists.

Although certain comments probably would ·be necessary, I am refraining from making such comment since the d3!ta herewith submitted should be suf­frcient to guide you and your sorority's decision on beU!alf of this 011ganization.

Very sincerely yours,

Samuel Haig Jameson J Director of R e.search

STATE DUES HARPER, BETA MU is the first chap­

ter to pay the 1950-51 dues. Congratula­tions.

INSTITUTE OF LOGOPEDICS Mildred Reynolds State Chairman

The final amount presented to the Institute of Logopedics by Faye Jordan and LaGreta Bute was $915.81. We sent $531.15 last year and only $365.00 was \..___/ used on the child we designated to care for. So $166.16 will be added to our amount this year and we wish that tJhey reclaim a child and use as the institute sees fit.

Just received a check from the Beta\..._./ Sigma chapter of Augusta, Kan., for $75.00 on next year's project.

Last September the Kansas council of Epsilon Sigma Alpha sent a contribu­tion to partially support a handicapped child at the Institute of Logopedics, Wichita, Kan. The Little girl who need­ed the help had had more than her share of hardships. Polio had struck, and locomotion was difficult. Her speech was handicapped by an articulatory de­fect and stuttering. When she entered training she was painfully shy, and be­cause of this could not enjoy the prac­tical everyday living and playing of a little girl her age. Today you would not know her for she has learned all of the consonants which she formerly omitted in speaking; her stutte~ing ha~ diS8;P­oeared. and she is a frnendly llttle gll'l with a~ appealing personality which at­tracts everybody. It was a happy day when she was dismissed as corrected, not only her and her parents, but for everyone at the institute, for another child was on its way to becoming a use­ful contributing citizen to society, to the community and to the nation as a whole.

The remaining funds sent by Epsilon, , Sigma Alpha are being assigned to an- '-....-/ other little girl, who will some day also take !her place among the happy, laugh-ing children of her town. Dr. Palmer, director, is grateful for the fact that Epsilon Sigma Alpha is making it pos-sible for these children to ·complete their retraining.

Mrs. M. E. Henderson, Treasurer Beta Mu Chapter, Epsilon Sigma Alpha Harper, Kansas Dear Mrs. Henderson:

You will be interested to know that because of the generosity of the Beta Mu Ohapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, an attra•ctive little boy was able to receive for two weeks tJhe speech training he so urgently nee.as.

This child had a cleft palate and a hare lip which were repaired by surgery, but ~ speech retraining is still neces$ary in these cases. He is making excellent progress. He had a considerabiEl lack

of articulatory ability and an inability to control various portions of the speech organs. Ear training and visual, tactile kinesthetic approa:ch have been utilized in teaching vowel sounds. Considerable work has been done on voice quality and

\..._,/ nasality, especially with the bil~bials. Progress is good since he is a very in~ telligent child and cooperates well, and his parents are eager to help.

This little boy has been receiving help through the Kansas Council contribution

\...J of Epsilon Sigma Alpha and your gift has permitted additional training for lhim which he badly needs . Your Sor­ority may well feel proud of the work it is doing for this child. Thank you very much for being such generous friends.

Sincerely yours, Martin F. Palmer Director

P.S . We sent $25.00 direct to the In­stitute and did not get credit from the State.

MARGUERITE MEEHAN Supervisor

International Chairman By this time you have no doubt read

your June JONQUIL and big news. about the Golden Girl of August campaign.

We're asking each chapter to secure one pledge for the month of August. She must be an outstanding young woman in your community within your own age group . Do not rush her! Just pledge her! She must be voted on by your en­tire chapter and accepted (any nega­tive vote will eliminate this girl).

Within the next month each chapter will be sent a special pledge for this out­standing pledge. Signed pledge blanks must be in this office not later than August 31 to qualify for awards.

A special committee of three im­partial judges will be selected to draw for tJhe three winning pledges from all signed pledge blanks submitted for the campaign. Not only will the pledges drawn receive prizes but their sponsoring chapter as well.

First prize-the grand prize winning pledge-will receive a special prize and recognition Internationally. Her spon­soring chapter will receive $50.

Second and third prize winners also receive prizes and recogntion and their sponsoring chapters will receive $25, each.

Each special August pledge will be sent a beautiful plaque wi1Jh the engraving "ESA SWEETHEART" and her name. · • Remember: Send the special pledge blank for your Golden Girl of August. Regular blanks will not be entered in the campaign. Even though your pledge is not one of the winning girls drawn you still retain your $5 chapter commission. This should be clear profit for your chapter since you will not be rushing tJhis girl. Here you have a splendid op­portunity to add to your chapter treas­ury while increasing your membership.

By August 31 we hope to have an ESA Sweetheart pledge from each chapter. Maybe your chapter will be one of the lucky ones to receive $50 or $25 in prize money. Are you willing to take a chance? Why not select your pledge for August now?

I am in great hopes of one of my Kansas girls being the "GOLDEN GIRL." I am planning on tJhis and counting on this. It shall be a great honor and it is my sincere desire that one of you receive it. Let us all put forth our best efforts and be tlle winner of -thlS-· great campaign. l:T sha:IC be -Jots of fun, and remember WE MUST WIN.

TO MY KANSAS COUNCIL AND ALL MY KANSAS CHAPTERS

We here at International wish to ex­press to the State Council and all cihap­ters, .our deep gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful spirit shown Mrs. Masslich in her great sorrow and loss.

The flowers were perfectly beautiful and greatly appreciated by Mrs. Mass­lich and family.

My territory is composed of two states, Kansas and Indiana. I feel I have two very fine states and am most proud of both. The Indiana State Council also sent flowers .

Girls, I personally, am very grateful to each and everyone of you.

International Headquarters Have you selected your "Golden Girl

for August" yet? If you have not, please do so at once. "It's later than you think." The first pledge f.or the "Gold­en Girl for August" received here at In­ternational was from one of my Kansas · Chapters, and was I ever proud. You need not ask.

I am determined .that one of my girls shall carry off the honors. So let's all get busy, and get our pledges in right now. REMEMBER - WE SHALL BE THE WINNER.

I would like to s ,uggest that the chapters start working on the Commit­tees, Study Programs, Philanthropic Pro­jects, Year Books, and Social Calendar for this coming year, which shall open in Septembe·r for most of us. Let it be the resolution of each chapter, to grow much this year, accomplish great things for their chapter and community. I desire to see Kansas lead all states in the Union, in outstanding chapters, as well as in number of new chapters and new members. WE CAN DO IT, AND SHALL DO IT. LET'S GET STARTED NOW.

Fellow Members: With the chaotic conditions and the

unsettled feeling generally, more than ever it is important that we keep that common touch through our organization. And, with Leonard McWhood, we might say:

"All people of the earth Share but one common birth, One destiny; One sun shines o'er us all, Alike we rise and fall, One night will spread its pan Eternally. Dear God of all the earth, Lead us. to know the worth Of Sympathy; May FeUowship increase, May all contention cease, 0, may we dwell in peace And Unity."

This is my first greeting to you through News & Views as your State Director. I ;;hall consider it a privilege for you to write me of your problems and program, at any time.

MILDRED DOLL

Betty Brewer, Baxter "Springs, your Sta.te Rush Chairman, and Lilah- Floyd, Elhs, your •State Social Chairman, have worke:d very hard putting ·out material for your -ohapter's .benefit. Take this to your meetings and dis.cuss it fully, also any material you receive from In­ternatfonal and State oif.ficers. Th.ere are mamy good ideas that you could profit · from if each President would make .it her duti,r to take s•aid material and present it to the group for discus· sion. Be sure to go over your Interna­tional Convention and State Convention Minutes, also State and International Constitution and By-Laws at the next con· venient meeting.

Thtlre -are many .g.ood ideas 1being ,put ~to practice in your individual chap­

ters, if you ha,ve suoh please pass your inf-Orrn.ation along so others may gain by it. An unusual party, an especially interesting meeting or an unusual inter­esting program or s1peaker, you owe it to the good of ESA, not only in this state but other states· to pass it along.

Be a good worker. lf your president oalls on you to do a small task and your group selects you to serve because it is your turn, make every possi'ble effort to do your part. If something detains you from doing what is •asked of you then assist your President by supplying the substitute, suoh as· trade places with some other member so that in the end you have served on as· many parties, served 1as educational director, you have brought as many pies, acted as hostess as many times as the other members; Don't 1'et ·it •be said that you never do your part and always shirk your little duties.

X There are always about half of . the membership that do all the work and each member of the chapter takes the glory of •belonging to the organiz.ation. Start out the fall program by saying that this year I will do any task asked of me, and, no •me·m'ber will have so v•ery much to do. Where as· if you make execuses .every time you are asked then "pur President has just that much more

STATE DIRECTOR Pauline Cowger, Salina, Kan.

lf we ibut realized it, by our associa­tions together .in our ·Chapter, in our state and our ~nternational organization, we are growing in our abilities, in our understanding, and in vision of world needs.

w .e must have an educated and cul­tured leadership now, as never before in the history of our country. And, t~ each of us comes· the responsibility of aoceipting our place in that leadership.

Education and Culture are two of the · key bricks in our foundation--'but with the stress of the ti-mes, it has 1been easy to place e·mphasis on others. · These two are in danger of losing some of the battles for democracy and freedom, but we must rally and see that they·· main­tain the:ir high plaice of importance.

In planning our programs, let us keep ever 1before us the fundamentals which our Pioneers knew so well were impera­tive, and carry them on until we turn the program to others who wm se it through.

OOTOBER RUSHING MONTH To First Vice-Pres.idents:

In order to f)ave the way .for a more secure foundation of ESA the following suggestions· a re set forth with the idea in mind of helping vice-ipresidents, who upon election automatically become Rush Captians.

Often times a girl has only ·been in the sorority a short ti!me. She has taken J ·ewel rpin cermony and ea-ch time her superior officers have asked her to do a ta~k, she has willingiy and e.fficiently carne:d out any assignment given to her. Soon, the group to which she is affiliated point to her not only as a hard worker, but 1as a leader as well. Eiection time draws near and since she is a full fleged ESA she is el.igi'ble to hol!l any offic1e to which she may be elected With this in mind she is nominate.d .for Vice-Presi­dent, 1but many times she is not always a:ware of the respons:Lbilities connected with that omce.

s.ince rushing is the only means by which ESA members:hLp is increased it truly is one of the most iffif)ortant pha~es of the .Sorority. Therefore, it behooves ·every vice,pres1dent to immediately up­on her election to office set about learn­ing just what is ex;pected of her in her ca.pa:c1ty as Rush Captain.

To begin with, it will 1be well to review bot~ the pledge and jewel pin degrees ·which were taken at the beginning . of pledges'hip and later when all obligations were fulfilled. One of the vows tacken was as ·folows·: "I shall re com.mend for membershtp in my chapter only those .persons· whose character are above re­proa:ch." This should ·be kept in 'mind when one is looking for prosipe.ctive members of ES.A!. True, at all time the !Privileges, a;dvantages and· the great sisterhood of ESA are extended to other splendid young women who like ESA aippreciate this type of fine association ~but rather than quantity, strive to select ,girls who are of .;the very highest tyrpe -in various communities·. Stress Quality, Be ever on the alert to find girls pointed to with pride as a typical ESA girl. .

October should be an exceptionally g·ood vush season due to the fact that there has already 1been a full summer of social activitis to which pros1Pective members have been .inv ited. The Inter­national office has always advocated that each cha:pter should have at least one social function during the months of June, July and August. Why not make these various summer functions picnics, pot luck, swim parties, horse back rides. and steak fries. Invite the girls selected td rush in the fall. By no means should they be told they are :being rushed in the fall. Sii;nply in­vite them to parties, enjoy their com­pany and !by the time they have been guests a time or two the chapter will know whether or not they are the girls wanted in the grourp. Too, the girls wq1 have an opportunity to associate with the C'hapter and become acquaint­·ed with all the girls in the :grourp.

The last closed meeting prior to rush month should 1be set aside to study ap-

-2-

plications of prospective members After a girl has joined in .the summer ,parties the member who has in mind rush1ng her should .bring to the meeting a card show-~g the girl's :name and address, occupa-~ tlon, accomrpllshmenl<;; and any other in­formation helpful to · the cha;pter in de­·ciding whether she wou1d ·be eltgi•ble for rushing. If this card is brought 1n prior to rush month and dis•cussion held re­,garding the prospective rushee it will entireiy eliminate any rejections at the time •bids are s·ent out. If .the prospec-tive rushee is passed on by the chap-ter fuen it will be in order to rush her.

April rush could ·be sponsored in very much the same manner as October but have Thanksgiving, Christmas and Val­entine rparties as sipecial days for in-viting guests. ·

If you find ·during the year a group af several girls' who are eager to join ESA it would .be well to take them in immediately r-ather fuan wait until the re~ular rush months of April and Octo­ber.

After ru~h ·parties hav-e ·been planned keerp m mmd that after a girl has been pledged the International office allows the chaJpter to retain her first $5 00 for help in defraying .rush expenses. ·

In :planning the vush .parties it should be kerpt in mind that the· cost shou1d be held as low as possible.

Model meeting is the most important part of rushing. The executive and model meeting chairman should meet and plan in order that .everything will :progres~ smoothly and with dignity. Let ser10usness, .courtesy and aignity be ' the shining lights of . this function. Be sure each guest is greeted and made"--.-/ welcome.

The vice-.president is the official hos• te.ss. Have the treasurer report at the model meeting the. method for paying the pledge as well as local dues Have a small gift or corsage for each' _pledge :but something they will remember.

Zone newi JESSIE McADOO

State Chairman The zoning of our state and the clos- -

er contact we can have with eacih of our chapters wrn not only bring better unity in our State Council, but will give each individual member of our soror.ity the QPportunity to express· to our Zone Chairman their- likes and dislikes and they in turn mn present to us· their desires. The more unity we can have the stronger our Council. The success of our :;;oning depends not only upon the chairman ;l>ut also upon each individiual member of Kansas ESA'ers·. Now that fall is here and we are all eager to get baok into the swillg of things, I urge our ,chairmen ·Of zones that have chair­men to call a meeting in your territory and ibecome acquainted. Correspond­ence has •gone out seeking chairmen for -those zones that do not have one. These should respond immediately and get some one for this job quickly. Remem­ber your offkers want to heLp you but we cannot do too much witihout your help also.

STATE COUNS. LOR Gracie Stoner, Kansas City, Kan.

An international c·onivention always sounds so bi:g and intricate for compre­hension :by those who have never attend­ed one before. I fetl that at my first ~ip to an international convention I

"- / ciuld .me:ret y be watching everyone else ------and marv,el:ing at the im[Jortant and

vast :workings of sucp_ a great organiza­tion. Instead of that I met girls that were just liJke us. Girls with the same ideals and' doing the same: things that we a11e doing.

Naturally there was a certain amount of routine business to transact and re­ports to 1be heard, rbut at the ,banquets, breakfasts and li..lncheons and the general get-togethe·r ,func.tions, everyone got to know most everyone else. I made some life-long ifriends and ga:ine.d a feeling about ESA that I could ne'V,er have got­ten elsewhere.

The E ·vansville chapters . did a beauti­ful job handling the conv1ention and were never too busy or hurried to answer questions or taili:e care of the smallest detail. ,

Peggy Shaw, the new International president, is from EvaTI?·Ville and iS' a wonderful person.

It is my sincere hope- that at our own state convention in Dodge City this ·com­ing April that we may be a1ble to impart to all Kansas E-SAers some of the feeling of unify and common goals of Epsilon Sigma Alpha International.

INSTITUTE OF LOGOPEDICS MILDRED REYNOLDS

.State Chairman I have mailed to each chapter a letter

e~plaining the Institute of Logopedics and wha t I have in mind as your chair­man. .Should there be any questions pleas·e ·Write me.

As Chairman of our State Proje:ct, which 1as you know is the Institute of Logopedics, I would like to pass the in­fovmation to you our Sorority collected and corrtr.iJbuted to the Institute, in 1950, the sum of $794.03 which is approximate­ly twice the sum contributed in 1949. This .money .is set aside in their treasury to be used as we see fit. In the past year three children have benefited· by our contrilbutions and thi~ lear's =oney will aid still more. Let us strive to double our contri<butions again in 1951.

At our .State O'>nvention held March 25th and 26 in Wi·chita, Mr. Roy E:blen, Jr , supervisor at the Institute of Logo­pedics express·ed their th.anks and arp­predation for the help our sorority has given them. The institute has· ·only re­cently moved into th'eir new home in W.icihita, the .first of Us kind ever to be constructed esipecially for this· 1purpose.

It has 1been suggested that each chap­ter set aside one fund raising project especially for the Institute of Logorpe­dics. At our State Convention to 1be held in Dodge City on April 13, 14 and 15, a report will be g}ven as to how much each :cihapter has contrilbuted dur­ing this year. Two chapters have al­ready sent their ·contri<butions amount­ing ot $85.00. Let us not be left behind in OUR SHARE so start working on your project today.

Do not s·end your contri'butions direct to the Institute or you will not receive credit thru the Sorority for it.

Send all contributions to our .State Treasurer Beryle Elliot, 2082 Lane, TQpe­ka, Kan., so a full report can ,be given.

Fraternally yours, Mildred Reynolds

Dr. Martin F. Palmer, founder and director of the institute, says: "We know that one· out of every 20 children born ·Will develop .a speech handicap. Albout half of these will correct the de­fects thems·elves , but the other children must have professional help or they can

· never over.come their handicaps." The trustees of the institute, of which

OCTOBER 1950

INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS MARGUERITE MEEHAN, Supervisor

Loveland, Colorado COOPERATION

Many colorful stories have been told of the exp1oits of the Navy Seabees in World War II. They 'literally moved mountail'llS with their equipment, their know-how, and thei·r ability to accom­plish the seemingly impoasible.

It is said that .the Sea:bees approached every task, no ·matter how difficult, with the attitude that somehow it could and wouM ·be done. They always took the attitude " ·can do!" Cooperation must have played an important rule for their success.

Coope-ration begins with the individ­u:aL'c.t willingness to work with other people to attain a certain goal, no mat­ter how large or small that .goal may be. Cooperat ion can be defined in many ways, it refers to the act of working or operating with someone for the benefit ot all. Cooperation ·creates in the per­·son the ability to- overtook - the otlrer· person's faults and, as a res·ult, bring about harmony. Finally, it may be well to remember that it takes you and some one el._ie to cooperate-but mostly YOU.

In a;JJ organizations there should be cooperation among aH the members. Ea·ch person doing his share of the tasks that he is as·ked to do whether large or small to obtain the goal. Suc­cess ·cain ·come to a group only through cooperaUon by the individual members doing hiJ or her share of the task.

This article was written by Alex Bush­meyer, president of the Lambda Club, and appeared in the E:S.A. Arizona CouncH Bulletin.

Girls, I feel that it i:s such a wonder­f,ul piece of Iiteraiture and most worth­while, so am pa:ssing it on to you.

It expresseEt perfectly the attitude which all of us should .have individual­ly, and as a group. Let's all try it out this RUSH SEASON.

Fraternally yours, Marguerite Meehan

·Salina, roIDsas Dear Members:

In our year's· a·ctiv~ties, we are hard at work to bring the plans into the rea:l. We all follow the same pattern, out some of U!Et like a bit of lace ihere, or a few tucks there, or some specia·l hand •Work -so we have quite a variety of desitgn.

Could we use "Work" a:s our watch­word this year, an'<i have it say to us: ''I am the producer of al1 good things in life. Without me mankind mru:st fail of happiness; the resources of ·the world would ·be empty and without vll!lrue.

"I am behind every fortune, every art, every science, every advancement that man has ever made. Rich and poor have tried to dispense with me, hut in doing so, have loEtt the very iheart of happiness for which they sought.

WHAT DOES E. S. A. MEAN IN YOUR COMMUNITY

E. S. A. or any other organization for that matter, to be prominent in a community, must offer a program that will benefit that community. In this way E . s. A. wm gain the favor and high esteem of the citizens of your community. This esteem must be "earned" through systematic, long-term planning, and NOW is the time to begin.

I would like to encourage the Kansas Chapters of E. S. A. to progress through the use of this fundamental type ' of nlanning.

::!ooperation and coordination with lead· .dg organizations in your community eliminates repetition of effort and con· fusion of o):>jectives in the over-all plan­ning _for a progr essive community.

The wise choice of a timely and worthy welfare project gives prestige to your chapter in civic affairs. At the same time it will give your organization depth, sincerity, security, and a great feeling of personal satisfaction in hav­ing fulfilled a definite -need in your town.

Secondly, securing diversified talentE" in a well balanced pledging program will insure a membership well able to cope with the many problems involved ir community participation. A welt bal­anced chapter always includes in its group women who have varied interests and abilities. Plan your pledging to include some who are organizers and leaders, others with artistic talents, and still others with distinctive social graces . The blending of these types and per­sonali ties will give your chapter balance in all efforts and activities.

And so I repeat, through a yearty · continuing program which includes a

worthy welfare community project, and carefully planned pledging, bring your chapter into prominence in your town.

BE PROUD TO BE AN - "E. S. A" .

GRATITUDE AND ,APPRECIATION

Gratitude is the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankflll. It is a grate­ful sense of indebtedness for kindness or benefits enjoyed.

Appreciation is the act of appreciat­ing; it is the expression of a just valua­tion or recognition for thoughtful, kind deeds, and for merits and excellences earned a nd deserved.

These two nouns express one and the same virtue; the thoughtfulness to ex­press appreciation and gratitude, when­ever the opportuni,fy presents itself. This virtue expresses strength, culture and a fine sense of understanding.

I would Uke to suggest that we prac­tice this virtue in our individual lives; the virtue of appreciating and being grateful to our Sorority Sisters. I won­der how. often we fail to thank, and show our appreciation and gratitude to one another, to our Chapter Officers, our Zone Chairmen,- our- State Officers and our ,Jnternational Officrs and Di­dectors.

The New Year is not far .off, and let's make tihis one of our New Year Reso­lutions-To show our appreciation and gratitude to one another, to our Chap­ter Officers, our Zone Chairmen, our StaJte Officers and our International Officers and Directors.

We all shall marvel at the great happi­ness , which we individually and. as a group experience in practicing this beau­tiful and wonderful virtue. We shalt be astounded by the great achievements produced as a result of practicing this virtue. Let's give it a chance.

Fraternally Yours,

PLEASE READ THIS TO YOUR CHAPTER

Bl'G NEW.S ! ! War constitutes bi'g prob­lems. You need to be full strength in order to assist in aH community efforts. Contribute books, maigazines and help to hospttals and do everything within your power to help in this nativnal emer­gency. Work toward .better unity in your community.

We realize this takes money and time, so we are following the lead of many other _QI'ganizations·. Each chapter. is requested to secure one sister chapter during 1951 in ne·arby :towns or within your own city.

We do not have a chapter in the United 1Sitates that cannot do this if they really wish to increase :their strength and put their bes:t efforts ·behind this war emer­gency that has been declared by the President of •the United States.

Now; A check in :the amount of $100.00, plus your installation e~pense will be mai~·ed .to your chapter upon receipt of your installation report listing a mini­.mum ·Of ten pledges or preferably more in 1the new Sister chapter.

* * * Sponsor One in '51

CAN YOUR OHAPTER USE $100? If so, rtb.en you're no doubt planning to sponsor a "baby chapter" this year. Or maybe you plan to sponsor more than one.

This department is working on a Sis­ter Chapter Manual which will answer aH questions on the organi'zation of the new chapter. The material will be sent to your Rush Captain within .the next few days. ASK HER TO READ IT AT YOUR NEXT CHAPTER MEETING.

In the meantime, may I hear from you or your vice-president in regard to your. plans for the new "sri.s.ters"?

INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS MARGUERITE MIDEHAN, Supervisor.

Loveland, Colorado You no doubt have received 1the letter

from Mr. Palmer asking that all chap­ters get a Sister Chapter this year.. The ·chapters uan work toge.ther on various war projects' and do more than individual chapters could. Rtght now the chapter throughout the c.:iuntry have offered their serwices in .their own ·Cities to do the things that need to ·be done. Many ESA chrupters were ·in charge of .the Crusade for. Freedom scroll in their ctties. We immediately offered our service when we heard about the Crusade and we have ha·d many fine letters from their head­quarters.

In the meantime, I would suggest your. chapter ·start plans immediately for your new :Sister Chapter and offer your ser­vices to your local mayor, the Chamber of Com.merce, or perhaps some outstand­ing men's organization. Many times our cnapters ·do this as there are lots of de­tails girls can handle that men do not like and will not handle. This is good publicity too besides ·being of very valu­·able helrp.

Our Slogan is "1 for '51." I know I can depend on my Kansas chapters to lead on Rushing and Sponsoring new Sister Chapters in 1951. Let's meet this emer.geny in our always patriotic and big way.

SUGGESTIONS FOR RUSH BETTY BRElWER, State Chairman

Baxter ·springs, Kansas ALthough it is not the regular time for

chapters to have their rush season, this is just a reminder that if any chapter should desire to take additioll'al mem­bers into their chapter ~t is not neces­sary to wait until the spring rush period. It is perfectly all right for chapters to use the individual system of rushing should they wish to enlarge their chap­ter. The same procedure would ,be fol­lowed in individual rushing as in spring or f.all .rushing. I hope it will be con­venient for me to attend the coll'vention this year and discuss the rushing prob­lems with each one of you.

SUGGESTIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL MEETING

Did you know that our 1State had a birthday this month. Let us tell some­ing interesting for roll call a -bout our State. A member of the Sorority should -review briefly the history of our State.

Review :the Hfe history of a few prom­inent Kans·as people such as William Al­len White, Walter Beech, Custer, Gen­eral Eisenhower, Arthur Capper and Alf Landon. . ._,

Guest speaker a noted local citizen, popular in Kansas.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WAYS & MEANS DOROTHY HAiWK, State Chairman'

Hal'.'Per, Kansas Since this is the month of the March

of Dimes, sta.rt a "Pie for Polio" drive for your sorority. One member bakes a pie and takes it to ,the other and they pay whatever they desire for the pie and turn aibout and baike a pie 1and take it on to the next. This could also be used for the Institute of Logopedics. Start a jar for birthday pennies, take your jar to your sorority meetings and collect a penny for each year of those having birthdays rthat month.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SOCIAL LILAH FLOYD, State Chairman

Ellis, Kansas "Pat and Mike Party"

We never make much of a fuss over our dads, now do we? So let's have a St. Patrick's party just for them. The ESA daughters will be gay Colleens, wearing green shamrocks in their hair, ·frilly gingham dresses and green stock­ings. As :the dads arrive pin a Pat green ribbon on one and a Mike green ribbon on the next one. Have equal numbers of each name which can be written on 'the ribbon with white chaI•k. Have an Irish program for them as follows:

Sing-"When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "My Mother and Father Are Irish."

Comic Skit-Jig1gs and Maggie and Dinty Moore as in the comic strip. Do this in costume.

Solo-illanny Boy. Jig-Dance to Irish Washerwoman in

costume. Get idea from teacher in g·rade sichool.

Solo-Mother Machree. Group Singing-The Wearing of the

Green; Irish Lullaby. Line up the Pats and Mikes for a con­

test of writing :the most words from the word "potato."

Serve-Corn ·beef sandwiches on green bread, stuffed hot baked potatoes on half shell, Blarney stones and coffee.

Color the .bread with green cake color­ing. Use day-old bread. Place cheese on top of your baked potato after you mash them with cream and butter and reHH shells.

For Blarney stones, cut angel for -

c1ake finger length, ice wifu powde; sugar titnted with apple greens and fh ~ ored with fresh lemon juice. Roll in powdered cocoanut (will look just like moss-covered stones). As soon as they ·are 1all serived grade the papers which are marked either Pat or Mike and an­nounce the wrrnners of the contest. Give prize (clay pipe) for most words and, course, booby prize (snake).

Decorations-Snakes, day pipes', sha.m­rocks.

BeGorra your dad wiH shure love you for this .party.-Lilah Floyd.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PUBLICITY MAiRIE BATLINE-R, State Chairman

Salina, Kansas Pictures are one of the best means

of rpublicity. Whenever you have a ·rush or especially party, dance, etc., have the staff photographer take a picture for his newspaper and 1be sure to send a copy to the J onqui:l. A picture of your ESA ·sweetheart at your Valentine party or formal would be of interest.

Promote pictures of newly-elected of­ficers, new pledges or new chapters.

STATE DIRECTOR PAULINE COWGER, Salina, Kansas

I wonder if we have any other month in our year, when we recognize the birth­day of so many famoUs and outstanding men and women in these United State:;: Men and women who have contributed the weH-being of our country as a who1'.. Men and women who have unselfishl:y.-.._/ and unstintingly given of themselves and their talents for the growth and develop­ment in a most constructive way.

Men and women who in almost every instance, were ,born in meager surround­ings, but whose parents realized it was the individual, and what they did, and how clearly they thought-that there was work to do with their hands and with their hearts and their minds.

Those people ·builded well, for think of the pleasures and advantages and even luxuries which we are enjoying. It is now up to us to guard well the fine herita,ge they left to us, and be sure to presenve it for our posterity.

with Mabel .Shelton, owner of the Shel­ton store, in charge. She -took us· on an imaginary trip to New York City. She told us how mercfuants had to go to get admission to the special showings of merchandise. Each of us could picture the beautiful models ooming out and displaying their merchandise. They are all class-ified •by numbers-buyers select the model they like and that they think wi11 1be ·best in their store, then contact their representative. She told us her version of a suocessful ·business. This was a most ·interesting part as• most of us think, "Oh, anybody can run a business, it is just .buying and selling merchandise." But there are many more angles. We had seiveral cards• read from Germany thanking us for the many things we had: done for them. Their Christmas cards were similar to ours. Mary Hagar was a .guest. Maude Andrews, sociail cill.airman, gave a re­port of the needy family that we adopted

for Christmas. This family was a moth­er and four boys, ranging from 1 to 10 years. Mother had gone to work when .t'auline and Maude delivered the gifts but they seemed very appreciative. The c!lome was very meager out clean.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PUBLICITY MARIE BATLINER, State Chairman

Salina, Kansas First names, addresses, and titles a,re

important. Newspapers insist upon aic­curacy and details. When preparing a list of names for a publicity release, ma'ke sure you have all the names in­cluding first names and inHitaLs· correct. Distinguish between Miss and Mrs. Ad­dresses are essential, too. If the person ho1d:s an office include her title. If the list of names are those of local people street addres.s·es generally are required. If they ·come from out of town, the town wrn probably be sufficient.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SOCIAL

If ·each member makes an effort to air mail their scrolls on April 1st, they will all reach General MacArthur at the same time. \ I sincerely hope that each chapter will do this- let's, make it 100 per cent-there '-....../ are 71 chapters in Kansas.

For your April social date in your year book have each ·me.mber tell some­thing about Korea or a bout someone she •knows there in the service. Also have a world .globe and try and find just where the boys arc and especially the 38th ·parallel .line. You ·can discuss and won­der how many of our scrolls hav.e names on them that some Kansas boy in Korea will know.

<SE·RVE- Fis!h a nd chips and Coca Cola. The fish can be cut in bite-size cubes and served with IC.olored toothpicks. 1Shoestring potatoes in cans are delicious. For a Korean touch t!he fish cubes could be s•erved on baking sea shells. Write your scroll to cread as follows:

INSTITUTE OF LOGOPEDICS Ml:UDRED REYNOLDS, State Chairman

First ·Vice-President, Lyons, Kansas We set a goal to double our contribu­

tions sent in last year. ESA has never failed to do the task it set out to do. The many girls who have had the privilege of going thru the Institute of Logopedics' can hardly wait to get back home and do something for the handicapped child. For those who have never had the op­por.tuni:ty of visiting the clinic take our word for it that there was never a more deserwing place and we can't do enough. Money is not everything; if your chapter needs a project ·and you can't seem to find one in your own community, wr·i:te Dr . .Pa}mer in 'Wichita and he wdll he1p you.

May 31st is the deadline for our State :8roject but by State Convention most of the proceeds should be in to me.

SUGGESTIONS FOR RUSH

BETTY BRE.WER, State Chairman Baxter Springs, Kiansas

To the Chapters of Kansas ; Subject: ·Spring Rushing.

It is time for us· to he mwking definite plans for spring rushing. That time will be here before we know it and a well organized rush program is essential, so that potential rushees win :be so im­pressed with the type and style of pro­g'ram that they wm become interested ·in our or.ganiz•ation and join. I :am sure all of the cha:pters of Kansas are fami­liar with •the system of rushing that is generally used. To the new chapters, if you wish any inf.ormation regarding the rush program of ESA I will endeav· or to supply it if you write me. It shou1d be kept in mind that e'ach chap­ter is rto sponsor a sister chapter. You wiH be hearing more about this from International Headquarters.

Travel Tri-State Hiway '52 to Denver

February 16, 1951 Dear Pres~dent,

Were you i11 Denver for the 1949 ESA International Convention? Then you know all highways lead to Denver, the Con­,-,ention City of Colorado.

The ·Denver A1pha Council chapters would Hke to embark on a new venture - this . time a Tri-State Convention for Colora,do, Kansas and New Mexico in 1952. We fe el that much could 'be gain­ed from an ex.change of ideas in states which adjoin one another, and ithat these states could . merge s eparate opinions into concrete suggestions. for IAC and for presentation at the next International Convention. Therefore, we would not only ·be aiding ourselves, but others as well.

The Convention would be organized so that each state could hold their in­dividual meetings, with two or three genel'al assemblies, conducted by the hostess state, for all three staites. Res­ervations, entertainment, banquets·, etc., would be handled by our Denver Com­mittees.

We hope you are as enthusiastic as we are, and we will .welcome any ques­tions you may have before voting for Denver as your Convention City for 1952.

INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS We are gathered here to install the

officers for the coming year, of t:he chapter. of Epsilon S~gma Al-

pha Sorority, with the keynote of the ·administration, symbolical of our em­blem. The open book - me·ans knowl­edge, not necessarily complete, but the desire to turn the pages and delve into the depth a nd beauty of .the cultural side of life. The lamp is our guide to wis­dom and the wisdom gives to Us a ·bet­ter understanding of the fullness of [.ife. So let us i:ealize the significance of our emblem, as well as the hionor conferred upon us when we assumed the loyalty of membership.

Installing officer: I will light my can­dle and •Watch it glow. Fo.r I have pick­ed up gre•at happiness· and knowleged from its light and by your participation ,with me let your. lamps be lit too and carrie<;l mgh for all to see.

If you can't .be a pine on the top of the hill,

Be a shrub in the va11ey- but be The best little shrub by the side of

the hill, Be a ·bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a .bush, be· •a: btt of grass, Some highway some happier make, If you can't be a muskie, then just

be a bass, But .be .the liveliest bass in the lake. We can't all be captains there's got

to be a crew, There's work for •aVl of us there. There's giood work to do and there's

lesser to do / - So just -choose the work that's near.

If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail.

If you can't be a sun, be a star. It isn't by the srize that we win or

we fail Be the .best of whatever you ar.e. Outgoing pres1dent (light your c•andle

from mine). Dear sister, you haive worked diligently

for the past year .and we have made great pI'ogr.ess .and .reached our goal in many things under your guidance. You spent hours in carryiing out Internation­al 's wishes and instructions. It 1was a .pleasure .to see the ideaOs of sisterhood ·carried out during 1the past yearr.

Outgoing president have ingoing presi­dent 11ight her candle from yours and thru this .may she carry on in the same fine manner as you dtd in the past. (New president) Today has come to you real opportunity. The membership of this chapter has spoken and you stand their choice, representative of all .that is fme, in this .association. In your administra­tion, may your heart be strengthened for the work .that is yours. May you aJ,ways be fair ill action, honest and faithful to the highest concepts of this office and true to ·the rogh ideals for whiich we stand. Are you willing to umbue your office iw~th dignity, and do the best of your abi!Lity rto serve the chapter from an impartial and impersonal viewpoint?

Answer: I a;m. "H you've any task to do, Let me whisper, friend, to you Do it. If you've any.fuillg to say

True and needed yea or nay, Say it. If you've anything to love As a. blessing from aibove Love it. H you'1Ve anyth·ing to give That another's joy may live Give ·it." Outgoing vke-:president. Light your

candle from iinstalling officer's. As our Rush captain you aided our growing year and added ex,perience to the stair­way of adventure in a phase of your ltfe by being •a member of ESA. You were faithful to (President) and aicted in close harmony with her. (iHave newly-elected vtce-prestident light her candle from out­.going vke-.president.)

As the new V·ice•President, you too, have been honored by your sisters. In you they have placed their trust and con­fidence, ·believing that to the best of your ability you wiill support their leader. Standing ever at her side may you be ready to share .the work and willing to fulf.iU the plans of your president. You are both accepting a sacred obligation and in the acceptance you pledge your best strengith and intelliigent efforts to the service of our chapter. Are you will­ing to assume the responsibilities of the duties of this 1chair?

Answer: I am. You •can do as much as you ·think you

can But you'll never aiccomplish more, If you're afrruid of yourself, young man, There's little for you in store For :fa:ilure ·comes from the inside first

worst, If you feel that you're going to do ~t. Outgoing reco)'.lding secretary (1ight

your candle from installing officer). As our recorq,ing secretary you accepted ,the j•ob of scribe. From your ela·borate notes a history was transcribed to be used .as a reference book in the passing parade. These records are .priceless and necessary to our organiza:tion, they list our power or pitfall. (Have newly-ele.cted recording secretary light her candle from yours.) ·wm you regard your office as a duty to be faithfully performed in kee,p­ing a!Q records of the proceedings of .the chapter?

Answe.I,': I will. ''Can and wm are cousins Who never trust to luck Can iis .the son of Energy And Will the son of Pluck Can't and Won't are cousins,too, Always out of work. Can't is the son of Never Try And Won't the son of 1Shirk."

Outgoing corresponding secretary (light c•an.c'!lle from installing officer). As cor­.respondtng secretary you a-cted as a link between chalpter and mternational. You ex,pressed our desires to v·arious or­ganizations·. Outgoing corresponding sec­retary have ingdfug 1corresponding sec­retary light her candle from yours. With this light may you carry the burdens of thiis office wd!th interest and zest.

qua.rters and sis·ster chapters as your office entails?

Answe.i;: I wiil. ~ucess is a dream, molded thru am­bition, tempered thru hardships,

nourished ·thru ,perserverance, deve!l.op­ed thru knowledge, and produced in­bo a living ,weapon of mankind<. Outgoing treasurer (light her candle

from installing officer). Next to the president, your office lis probably the most essential. No group of society meets wi·thout some financial obligation. This means. that grea;t respons~bility iliies in your office. Let newly-elected treasurer light her candle from yours. You understand that it is your duty to keep all members informed and co1lect delinquent dues .and disburse an fees required by the ·chapter as recommend­ed by International. To no officer comes .a mo.re definite and tangible respons1b~i­ty, which today becomes yours. To your keeping is placed the financial welfare of this chapter. Guard it in untiring fulfillment of your duties. Will you guard as ·a sa;cred trust dispensing the funds as directed for the good of the ch•apter?

Answer: I will. Because some one has faith in me I ·cannot faii tho alll the way Wiinds up the hill. My staff in hand, and cherrily I can ,but fa.re me forth each day With right good will. EducaUonal director. As our educa­

tional director and sister we wish that you wou1d accept the duties of educa­t10nfil dii:re-cfor •for the coming y·ear, and be a guide to us in ail we do. From you must come the inspiration and vi­sion that gives impetus to this move­'ment and enthusiasm for the work. If .this lis· your des.ire please light your c·andle from (installing officer) mine and stand shoulder to shoulder with · us all.

(Let us pray.) Dear God, let us al'I. stri'Ve to put away

all little pettiness .and •combine our tal­ents to make this organization the finest of its kind. Le.t us be a little kinder, let us .be a littJle blinder, to the faults of those about us .

Let us praise a little more Let us ·be when we are weary Just .a; little more cherry Let us serwe a little .better Our chapter we're strtl.wng for Let us be a little s1weeter Make our life a bit completer By doing what we should do Every minute of tthe day. Let us .toil without ·complaining, No humble task disdaining. Let us respect one another as sisters, Remember we're all an E-SA.

We all are interested in household materials, colors, etc. Vera had pictures of every room in the hous.e and how it should be decorated, furniture, drapes, etc. Pauline Cowger, president gave us a report of the meeting she attended in Manhattan January 21, where she had charge of the Jewel Pin ceremony. Myra Griffith a nd Gertrude Watson reported on the UNESCO meet­ing held January 31. We had asked the girls to bring their old disca rded cards as we wanted to send them to the In­stitute of Logopedics in Wichita. We received a lar,ge basket of cards. Girls, if you haven't done this , pack up your old cards and send them to the Institute. Mrs. Cora Shelton was hostess to us and treated us to the Warren Cofffee Shop on February 1.

February 19 was a regula r meeting night. A letter was read from a former member, Ellen John.son Christiansen, who now lives in Chia.go. Sunday, Feb. 25 our pre,si:dent, Pauline Cowger, will go to Hutchinson to attend their chap­ter's meeting. If you haven't read your Logopedic m agazine, do so. They have enrolled 642 pupils from 23 states and seven fore ign countries.. I think all chapters should try to contribute some­thing to the logopedics institute.

Here is something that I think all chapte.rs will want to pass on to their schools.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WAYS & MEANS DOROTHY HAWK, State Chairman

Harper, Kansas As this is the time of the year every­

one is thinking of :Spring flowers and new -clothes, spring out with a style show. Contact your merchants for wearing ap­parel from hats rto s.hoes, accessories. Use your own ESA .members for models and recruit some of the younger set for rpint size ·clothes. ,See your local green­house-perhaps they would like to place some flor;al decorations. This will ·be good ad~ertising for the merchants and still put some pennies in your treasury or helrp contribute rto the State project the !Institute of Logopedics. '

SUGGESTIONS FOR PUBLIOITY MARIE' BATLINER, State Chairman

Salina, Kansas "Nothing is as old as yesterday's

news." Promptness is essential in re­/ porting activities of your chapter. Let

-.__./ the daily and weekly newspapers know days head of functions planned by your :g.roup. It's a good idea to remind them

again just before it takes place and for the follow-up story of What•What-When­Where and Why. Contact your radio sta:tLons and papers of your functions im­mediately. Don't wait until the news is .stale. The fresher it is, the better p1ay .it will receive. Don't wait for the so­ciety editor to call you; call her and she will appreciate it and give you better service. Be very friendly with her so you can get your articles the way you want them.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SOCIAL LlLA!H FLOYD, State Chairman

ElliS' Kiansas :Since 1929, May' 1 has been t'he ·ESA

Founders Day- a day each yeaJr to com­pliment our mothers a nd other special guests with a tea. Let the theme of the 2·2nd anniversary tea be "Beauty Through ESA." Center a white hwe cov­ered table :with a shower arrangement of our ESA flower, the Jonquil, ·and white lighted candles. On the table have individual vanity boxes in blue and gold with a yellow butterfly on the lid to ca'l'ry out the colors of .blue and gold. Nothing else will be on the table except a silver tea service at one end wi>th the cups and the one who pours serves them ·with lemon and sugar or cream, to each guest who is in line she gives them their 1vanity box.

To make a vanity box, have each mem­ber purchase a 7'fi-ounce box of .Sun­shine Arrowroot biscuits, remove the biscuits and all outside wrapping rpaper. Now tear off .the small ends of ·card­board that folds into the box. Buy a roll of plain light blue wallpaper, mea­sure one long strilp the width of the box, cover it incuding the lid - cut small pieces separately for the two ends. On the lid paste a ·butterfly made of yellow paper, paste the body on the lid only, press wings up so it will look as if in flight. Dnaw butterfly's antennae on the lid with. a rpencil. On the inside of the ·box pl.ace a large white paper doill.y that covers all the inside of fue box. T'ake s·cotch tape and fasten a small-size mir­·ror to the inside of the lid over the doily so that when the box is opened fue guest can admire herself (vain women). In the :box have lfour kinds of dainty tea cakes, white f.rilly nut cups filled with ,mints and nuts. A gay flower decorated napki'n and a silver spoon for tea1; there will be a space also to set the cup of tea after the box is opened. Have them keep the vanity boxes.

Program: Children's Fashion Show. While children (,boys and girls) model summer fashions, Sorority members will sing Good Old Summer Time, Little Boy Blue. Little 1Miss Muffet Jack and Jill, ·School Days and Memories. When nurs­ery rhymes are ,sung, have children rep­resent the story. Keep 1:!he prog,ram gay 'and don't forget to have cooki'es for. the children after the fashion show.

SUGGESTIONS FOR RUSH BETTY BREWER, State Chairman

Baxter Springs, Kansas "Sponsor One for '51 ! ! !"

STATE DIREO'I'OR PA'ULINE COWGER, Salina Kansas

Civil Defense ' On .every hand we are hearing the

question, '"What can we do-or what can I do, to assist in this Civil Defense program?"

There are so many many things-as a chapter in your own local community, and as individuals.. .Our chapter can volunteer and offer the assistance of the members to .the Civil Defense chairman in our town and county. I hope every Chapter has a lready taken this first step. Then, in the organization of the first UNIT, you may be asked to serve as ·clerks :gray 1a:dies, nurses aides. and other '.capacities.

Have you learned those six important ·points of " what to do first. " Know them so .well you will unconsciously do them­should that unwanted emergency pre­s ·ent itself. Hav.e you stocked your medi­cine cabinet with those suggested "first aids" which .are on the must list. You can join first air .gr.oups being organized -and take rpart in the other activities in your own community.

But, the,re is that 'intangible as'Sis'bance we can give that I ·Wiant to stress. That thinking and ,feeling and talking part that each of us can take. That calm and serene attitude-the knowing what to do and when-and allaying •any thought of panic. In our own homes. we •can be­gin this part of the ·pr,ogram, by our ac­ti:ons with our own family. Know you will not 1get excited, or nervous, and then instill in the othe.r members of your fa·mily thait same cons1cfousness. Any time one has a nervous attitude, it is immediately felt by the family-and they re-·8;'.Ct by being nervous also.

We ,can 1f.ollow a psychological program and develop it to such a point where we are in a position to be helpful, if an emergency might arise where a Civil Defense program must become active.

INSTITUTE OF LOGOPEDICS STORY Margi·e c•an walk now. but maybe be·

cause of that a wheelchair carries a very special kind of fascination for he·r. Every time S'he sees a friends ot hers, a young woman who is ·confined to a wheelchair, Margie knows what she wants. Other youngsters at the institute may find their special <thrill in a rrde in the automatic elevat-Or or in roller skat­ing down the inclined door-ways, but for Margie, there's nothing more exciting than riding on the front of her friend's wheelchair. Upon seeing this pal she tugs determined~y on her housemother's amn, ste[JS up on the foot .rests on .the front of the chair; carefully and delib· erately turns arnund so that she is fac­ing the front and stands there poised for a ride like the figurehead on the prow of a ship.

0 course she gets her ride down the corridor and back. Then, stepping down from her perch, :she says "Bye-bye" and with a satisfied little smile goes 'on to her speech lesson.

Margie doesn't know it, but sharing her satisfaction in this little venture are a host of interested people. There is a speech teacher who remembers her de­velopment from speechlessness to a young lady with a vocabulary of 50 wor ds. There •is a sta.ff orthopedist who remembers that rwhen •Margie came to the institute she was unable to walk, al­though she was 272 years old. There is her housemother who has not only taken ·care of her physical needs but has also given her love anq a feeling o.f security. And, of course, there are her mother and father who have had the courage to h::ave their little girl in an institution 150 miles from home because they know it offers 'help for. her handi­caps.

This little incident is brought to the attentjon of E;psilon Sigma Alpha mem­bers in order that you too may share in Margie's hruppiness. For Epsilon Sigma Alpha contributions have helped make it poss.ible for this little ti'ke to have her chance to laugh, and talk and walk, and to ride on- and not in-a wheelchair ..

Our speaker was Mr. Earl C. Moore a Wichita, attorney, and former r.;ember of the Kansas Leg­islature. In a highly ente.rtaining as well as instructive manner he outlined the different theories of human 'behavoir as they have evolved through the ages; first the goodness-badness theory of conduct, then the knowledge-ignorance theory and finally the current theory of maturity-immaturity. He pandered with us the seemingly una,nswerable question: Do we do what we do because we are What we are or what 'we are because we do what we do? At our social meet-ing of the month we celebrated ·the birthday of the father of our ·country .w1th a "Galloping George Washington Party."
