Junior League Transfer Club. By AGNES H. OSTROM

LOCAL JUNIOR Leaguers have a policy that’s real insurance against the “lost” feeling that just always goes with being a transfer.

You all know how it feels to be in that rank.

Perhaps it happened when you were in grade school, in college or when you moved about during the war, There’s no monetary premium for their policy but it pays rich dividends . . . provides a sure-fire guarantee. The title is Transfer Club.

” 5 =

MEMBERSHIP is restricted. It is’for newcomers who move here from out of town and transfer their league membership to the Junior League of Indianapolis.

These’ transfers become full-fledged ‘members as soon as their transfer papers are accepted. But in addition, for a two-year period they are privileged to belong to the special Transfer Club, Active in their . former leagues, these young women

are anxious to become acclimated in the program of their adopted environment. Their orientation, thef# problems of getting to know each other, veteran leaguers and the local activities are streamlined via the club.

Begun in 1939

IT WAS BEGUN some 12 years ago -—in 1939 — when Mrs. Frank Hoke was the Junior League president. Mrs. Booth Jameson, then. vice president, was in charge of its organization.

Always a small, intimate group, it is fundamentally social. But, for the last few years—just before Christ-mas-—it ‘has made itself responsible for repairing the toys donated for sale at the Next-to-New Shop. That shop, 8418 N. Illinois St., is

the money raising project of

the Indianapolis League.

Members meet about every two months for a luncheon or tea in the home of a longtime Junior Leaguer.

In their exchange of experiences often new ideas are evolved for Indianapolis. And it's much more fun to learn a new “routine” together. This year’s members are Mesdames Richard A. Franzen, John R. Kellum, Russell Bonynge, Donald N. Test Jr., Hastings Smith and Gordon Trout. Mrs. Henry R. Stephenson is chairman. She has the double advantage of knowing Indianapolis league projects —knowing too how it feels to be a transfer. As Miss Prudence Brown she was a provisional here. After her marriage she moved to Cleveland and now has returned.

‘Learn’ Through Training

MRS. FRANZEN came from Detroit. She is busy taking the same course given local provisionals. This year the provisional members are working in every league activity by means of a rotation system.

Now she is in the Gallery Guide course in Herron Art Museum. Also she's active in another local women's league-—the League of Women Voters.

Smith was in Lexington, Ky., she inaugurated a music appreciation class for youngsters under the children’s activities project of that city’s Junior League, Last year she gave an entertainment series for chil. dren at the Rotary Convalescent Hospital with records and the piano. Now she is working in the

Kellum who came from Reading, Pa. In New York Mrs. Trout did work in eye-testing at Bellevue Hospital. She also was an active volunteer in the Union Settlement. Currently her special interest is the braille course, sponsored by the Indianapolis League.

Youngsters at the Marion County Juvenile Center Are Going to Have Fieldhouse for Their Own Use

Children and Advisers Busy Getting It Ready for Open House on Mar. 12

A SURPRISE is in store for the Marion County Juvenile

Center open house.

That date, you remember, has been set for Mar. 22," between

4 and 6 p. m.

#The Juvenile Court Citizens Advisory Council, the staffs of the Juvenile Court and the center aren't sending engraved

invitations. But it’s a date every interested citizen will want to keep. The youngsters, temporarily housed there, as well as

the staff and advisory council, have been working for days to make the center shiny and bright for guests. And some of the har-est work has gone into the surprise—a fieldhouse.

Plan Initiated

THANKS ARE due the county commissioners and council who appropriated a $10,000 fund, the Advisory Council who initiated the plan, and other organizations and individuals whose sustaining interest has made it possible. The fieldhouse is a metal building back of the three main center structures. It

“T§IE TIME has come to take a moral stand with our children.” With these Muriel Lawrence, a new columnist, begins writing for The Sunday Times next Sunday on the women’s pages. ‘THE MATURE PARENT, a column about normal parents and children, is more than a child-parent column because it carries a warm, human message of inspiration for everybody. It mire rors, in many cases, the parenthood failures that have been responsible for - child delinquency. Mrs. Lawrence qualifies to write on child-parent problems because of the years she has spent in observation and study of problem children and also by being the mother of a, teen-age daughter. ; . : THE MATURE PARENT begins Bunday in The Sunday Times.

was opened about 10 years ago as the shop for the National Youth Administration’s state-wide project. Its career has been checkered; it's long been a neighborhood eyesore.

Heating Equipment NOW NEW heating equipment, plumbing and lighting fixtures, doors, steél' cdsement windows, asphalt tile flooring (in the gym) and roof patches have made it ship-shape for a gym, craft and shop classrooms, According to Warren 8S. Woodall, center superintendent, the children’s behavior problems, supervisory and administrative difficulties have been increased because the youngster's natural physical energies have been repressed.

During inclement weather there has been no place for recreation.

For the Children

FINALLY those children who most need a place to expand energy, to run, play and let off steam are going to have it. The gym, a 60x40 foot room, will be used for basketball, baseball, shuffleboard, volleyball, table tennis, hand

ball and deck tennis. Punch- :

ing bag equipment already is in place. For weeks Miss Mary Lou Hill, arts and craft instructor at the center, has worked on shelves, painted and labeled

cans and cartons to hold materials in the large, light craft room with its lemon yellow and green walls, The youngsters already have demonstrated they know about team work, the same kind of team co-operation they are going to learn more about on the gym floor. They have pitched in with the painting and many of the

small jobs getting the building in order. Many things are needed. But the center is accustomed to utilizing every bit of scrap

material donated by commu-nity-minded people, firms and organizations. That's why they're hoping someone will furnish supplies for that shop room. There are none at the moment.

Memorial Donations

TWO DONATIONS in memorial of Mrs. P. C. Rubush have swelled the athletic equipment. College trained social workers on the center staff will have charge of the athletic program, The boys’ activities will be directed by Louis Abel and Omar Pea. Miss: Joyce Kenyon and Mrs. Bonnie Moos will work with the girls. Even without the gym an

intramural sche df le with neighborhood and’ other institution teams was initiated last year. It's going to be expanded this year. (By AHO).

Charming San Francisco Proves a City Of Varied Interests and Fond Memories

By KATY ATKINS LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24—-When we started south from San Francisco last week, we turned into the homestretch and will be back soon—but it is impossible to leave that fascinating

city without regret.

The sun shone every day. The town was full of women in smart suits with fresh flowers on their jackets.

At each stop along the way we have been fortunate in joining up with the Howard Mulls of Chicago. Since Mrs. Mull is as inveterate an explorer as I, it has been fun.

Incidentally, we have mutual friends in Florence and Bob Patterson of Cleveland

whom we saw at the Broadmoor. The Pattersons formerely lived in Indianapolis and have an even closer tie now since Bob Jr. is to be married to Ruth Guthrie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Guthrie, in June. We met young Bob when

he was an usher in the wed. ding of Alyce and Dudley Pfaff Jr. last summer. Flore ence was eager for Indianapolis news and wanted to hear all about Ann Kennedy and Ceci Crom whom she had known since they were babies. We Have met other former city residents, Ruth and Ed. mond Neal, now of Providence, RIL A week's celebration of the Chinese New Year came to an end while were were in San Francisco. On the last day our progress through Chinatown was considerably ime peded by firecrackers being shot off under our feet. Wea undertook to go to Fisher man's Wharf by cable car only to find that because of street repairs, we had to change to a bus half way there.
