PRICE Those who pursue the study of the muses might not be expected to have a very practical interest in such mundane matters as first aid, bandage, making, courses in nutrition and the endless other activities to which so many women are turning their attention just now. But the call to serve the nation for the duration is being equally headed by all women's groups in this city, it seems. Schubert club, for instance, with a membership devoted to cultural pursuits, musical composition, the writing of poetry and dramatic expression, is keenly alive to its responsibility in the civilian defense program. Many of the members, reports Mrs. Charles H.

Sach, president, are engaged in defense work. The aid to the nation movement in this club is not spasmodic. It was carefully planned in the less hectic summer months, just concluded, to raise funds with which to aid the war effort. A series of small neighborhood luncheons were given during the vacation. The thought spent on the matter is already bearing fruit in the kind of service being rendered individually and collectively by this organization whose chief aim has been to create culturally for these many years.

There is no reason why a good writer of verse shouldn't be a good air raid watcher, Mrs. Sach suggests. And what is to hinder a woman who excels in delineating character giving good account of herself as a fire watcher or canteen worker? Matter of fact, women trained in the arts have an understanding and sympathy, it is revealed, which make them particularly suited to any branch of the civilian defense service within their physical power to perform. Schubert club of Los Angeles will preface the opening of its current season Wednesday, September 30, at Los Angeles district headquarters, 2103 South Hobart with a program and a membership tea. Purpose of this, affair is to give the members opportunity to establish a close friendship which Mrs.

Sach avers promotes, in turn, strength in club service. Formal opening date is October 7. District headquarters will be the meeting. place of the club this year. Mrs.

Sach is entering her third year as president. At the luncheon, which is to highlight the first day's meet, Mrs. J. T. Anderson, founder of the club, will speak on "The Club Activities Through the Years." This group was formed in 1909 and the past presidents, living and now residents in Los Angeles, will be honor guests.

In the afternoon at 2:30 Mrs. Helen Van Derbergh, first vice president, will have charge of the program which is to include numbers by vocal and instrumental artists. The dance also will be interpreted by well known artists. ENERGETIC BOOKWORMS of the Assistance League of Southern California have agreed to collect donations of furniture and other materials necessary to equip and maintain several day rooms for men in the armed forces stationed at remote camps.

Fred L. Ryon, has appointed Mrs. Albert G. Ralphs to direct the new camp committee. Mrs.

Ralphs will be assisted by Mrs. John Q. McClure and Mrs. Edwin V. Fallgreen.
