"I was helping the home economics teacher when he showed me a boat he had made out of cardboard boxes. It was about four feet by six and he even had made anchors of different items from the kitchen.

"THERE WERE often simple things he couldn't do, but at other times he would come up with such ingenious things like this boat." The principal fund raising project for the Fairfax School was a Children's Carnival held in the spring. At the end of the club year, about $700 had been raised for the school. But these women aren't letting down with their success last year. They're already in full swing with a second year. They have doubled their activities and increased their hours at the Fairfax School.

By LINDA HILL Helping someone else's child, perhaps less fortunate than their own, was the 1961-62 club project for members of the Brandywine New Century Club. Their project of service and financial aid to the Fairfax School for Trainable Retarded Children won second place in clubs with less than 50 members in the Women's Club of the Year Contest, sponsored by the News-Journal Co. "THE BENEFITS were two way," said Mrs. Thomas Young, project chairman. "For the volunteers, working with these children was a different experience every day.

The children are so happy when an outsider makes a fuss over them and treats them as normal children." The Brandywine New Century Club was started two years ago. Last year, members studied the needs of their community, Brandywine Hundred. Of the projects considered, they decided the Fairfax School could best use the energies of an outside volunteer group. They invited Walter Ka-bis. State supervisor of Special Schools and Classes for Trainables, to explain the type of children with which the members would be working.

A TOUR OF the school and a schedule for the volunteers was set up. About 25 members worked on this project. Some worked at the school. Others baby-sat for the children of the club members who were at the school. Some drove the children to doctors offices for check-ups.

A party for the mothers of the students was given. The whole club helped in the fund-raising projects. With the aid of the volunteers, the teachers were able to give more time to each child. Two women assisted the home economics teacher and the children to prepare their lunch on one morning a week. The menus included dishes such as spaghetti, brownies, Jell-O, pudding and home-mad? apple sauce.

On Friday mornings a member helped the children dress and undress at the swimming pool. A member accompanied the children on a bus trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. A CLASS of music and dancing also was taught by two members once a week. The women prepared song and dance routines. The children's progress proved to the initially skeptical administrators that these children could learn simple dance steps.

"I'm sure each of the volunteers remembers her own Soropti mists' Festival of Nations Helps Friendships and Girls' Club Finances By JACKIE SHARBOROUGH Women's Editor "Getting to Know You" could be the theme song for the Soroptimist Club of Wilmington. This is the underlying thought for its "Festival of Nations," a community project which was responsible for the club's winning a first award in the Women's Club of the Ypar Contest sponsored by the News-Journal papers. THE AWARD, announced I I 'I I Willi I I wmmi i 1 It i ,,,1 i Jf- dances, accordion and mandolin groups, dances from India as well as Scottish, Greek and Spanish dances. Although not included in the judging, a similar program plus added attractions, was held at the second annual festival this fall. Getting to know those of foreign extraction wasn't the only result of the Soroptimist project.

FOR MANY YEARS, the club has financially assisted the Girls' Club of Wilmington. This group was one of the beneficiaries of the proceeds of the festival. In addition, the money raised also went to a Soroptimist Foundation for Fellowship at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University in Medford, Project Hope; the Maryland School fty the Blind; a mission hospital in Nepal; the Salvation Army's Christmas Fund and the Welfare Council of Delaware. The club also participates and contributes to other philanthropic activities. The Soroptimist Club membership is comprised of executive business women, one from each profession, and the local group had 30 members -1 I'n 63- Special Programs.

at at a luncheon Monday, was made in the category of clubs with less than 50 members, and based on the club project during the 1961-1962 club year. The first festival, held on Oct. 5, 1961, was the brainchild of Mrs. William E. Bohn, noted for her work with the United Nations Association.

"We were looking for a new, worthwhile project, and I heard about other festivals through the UN Association," Mrs. Bohn said. The idea fit right in with the purposes of the Soroptimist International Association. Its says that Soroptimists shall "promote a universal spirit of friendship, and cooperate with inter-governmental and other organizations for the advancement of international understanding, good will and peace." THE FESTIVAL, presented jointly with the Delaware Association for the U.N., was designed to encourage understanding and to acquaint the community with the many foreign people who are living here. The project was quickly accepted by the club members, after noting that Wilmington had no International House or club where citizens of other lands and this city could meet.

Mrs. Bohn, who was chairman of the project, went to Philadelphia to attend a Festival of Nations there. But each community's festival is different, taking advantage of the talent and countries represented in their own area.
