MEMBERSHIP IN TOWNSEND CLUB GAINS RAPIDLY San Diego Organization Ha.' 30.000 Enrollment After Starting With 30. Editor Note—ThU U the second of six article, de.rrlbinr the wlft rrowth of Ton-n.end Clnh. in Sn Plefo—tpir! of the moxrment'a spread In many other renter*. BY MAGNER WHITE Times Special Writer SAN DIEGO. Cal.. Feb. 19—A j lor >e club note in newspapers of i April 7. last year, heralded In five of six lines the coming of the | Townsend old age revolving pension plan to San Diego County. No newspaper editor in the city ! appreciated, at that time, the sigj nificance of the announcement; it , was just another ”club note.” It ' merely read, in substance: j ‘Mr. W. F. Hutton of Long Beach spoke before the executive board of the County Federation of Women's Clubs at the Y. M. C. A., explaining an old-age pension plan.” ”Ju.;t another guy with some kind of political racket,” your average newspaper man would have commented. ’’The women like to listen | to things like that.” Eleven days Later. Mr. Hutton spoke before the San Diego Women's Civic Center. Mrs. A. H. Bretz, one of the Civic Center leaders, took one of the visitor’s pamphlets on the Townsend plan home with her Ito read; it was all too much to grasp at one hearing—too many figures and economics and things. | But it was something about every person over 60 getting a S2OO-a---month pension from the government. Can you imagine! Really, it didn't sound very practical—because where would you get enough money to pay all the aged men and women S2OO a month? Handful Attends Meeting Mrs. Bretz read the pamphlet, then passed it to Mrs. Sydney Scott. Now, Mrs. Scott has been a clubwoman and leader for some years. She has seen ideas come and go, and she wasn't too much interested in this one. She took the booklet home with her and read it in bed j —just intending to give it a glance. “I read it a couple of times before the principles soaked through,” she admits. "Then finally, I got it.” Where other women had been S mildly interested, Mrs. Scott be- ; came the leading local apostle of j the Plan. On April 23, in her home, I she called a selected group of eitiI zens, from many different organizations and many diffeient business and professional groups, to hear about the plan. Her guests learned about the Townsend plan from her, and learned it convincingly. About *3O attended the evening meeting in her home, crowding into the living room. They all came out fired with enthusiasm for the Townsend plan. 72 Clubs in the County From that original 30 the organization has grown in less than a year to 72 clubs in the county with more than 30,000 paid members—and with 100,000 signers of the petition to Congress demanding (they don’t merely “ask” any more) that the Townsend bill be passed forthwith. In all the nation, 25,000,000, it is claimed, have signed these petitions —and the original 30 here in San Diego, working through the thousands they have helped to “convert,” are responsible for millions of these signatures. Every member here, working with the original unit in Long Beach, has been encouraged to mail petitions to acquaintances in other towns—and thus the idea has spread. At that first meeting < where ‘‘Unit No. 1” was organized, there were present a writer, a real estate man, a minister, omarrtgntal iron works proprietor, attorney, retired orchardist, grocer, dentist, etc. Within seven weeks, from this small start, the Townsend movement weis able to muster one of th* greatest mass meetings ever held in San Diego.
