A copy of the following has been sent to in the August, each local chairman: 1. List of Publications. 2. Vocational Articles Independent Woman 1932 1934. 3. Summary of Provisions of the Social Security Act Relating to Federal Grants of States. 4. A questionnaire to determine if women who work outside their homes actually create more jobs rather than decrease the number available. Reports from the clubs that have responded show .41 per cent of working women furnishing full time jobs for others; .10 per cent part time. Most of them send their would dry cleaning and laundry out and create from five. to ten services that they not need if they were not employed. (1st) that the Research Committees Reports I have received thus far indicate: have served as a fact finding committee for the other committees concerned with the National program. (2) They have kept scrapbooks pertaining to all phases of activi ties carried on during the current year. (3) They have placed on B. P.

(4) an up-to-date vocational index of members for committees on Proqrams -and Mem- kept bership, etc. • The Research Committee of the Logan club worked very energetically with presi dents of local clubs, and the State Federation had much to do with a state-wide move ment regarding discrimination against women in one of our State institutions. The Research Committee of Cedar City club has cooperated with the local Em ployment Bureau and the Social Service Workers in finding employment for women. The clubs that have reported, have all given programs relating to "Discrimination Against Women" and "Women's Place in an Effective Democracy for All." My one recommendation is that my successor be given every chanse to get a better start than I did. LILLIAN W. LUNT, Chairman. Health Our National Health Chairman re quested that we send to her the details of our local recreational activities, any unusual health projects undertaken this year and the attitude of our members and our communities toward progressive health matters. Our communities are health conscious, and several of our clubs have undertaken an extensive health project in conjunction with other groups. These, no doubt, will be reported by the club presidents, and I am not repeating them here. This is also true of the rec reational activities of the clubs. Dr. Maffett has asked us to indicate the type of health program that we pre fer for next year. This should be given careful consderation by the newly-elect ed club preSidents and their health chair men in ordr that our preference may be sent to National in the fall. early DR.
