She recounted the gracious hospitality extended Federation women who attended the White House tea, told of meeting Mrs. Bess Truman, wife of the president, who received them in the famed East Room of the White House and described the elaborately appointed tea served in the state dining room. She also told the little incident that happened when the large group of women left the White House. As the club women filed out a guard whispered to the club tea, "Who were these women?" On being told, he said, "Lady I have been here on this job for a long time, but I just want to say this is the best behaved group of women I have ever had here." / Luncheon Follows Luncheon Following luncheon served by the hostess group, the Club Institute took place with Mrs. Dan Peake Jr., president of District 11 conducting the program.

Highly competitive, state and national prizes will be offered for outstanding books, she said. Mrs. McCaffrey suggested that each club send one dollar in addition to regular state and national dues for a subscription to the National Club Woman for its home club president. She stated that if all clubs would do this, $16,700 would be realized to swell National Federation funds. Each club was asked, (1) if they had raised their dues, (2) if they appropriated enough monies to send their president to the state as well as the national conventions. Mrs. William Cox responded for the Coral Gables club, saying that $475 had been budgeted for the president's expense for both the senior and junior departments and that dues had been raised to $10. / Save the Deer Mrs. Earl Henry of the Hialeah Club, and chairman of the Royal Palm State Park's 4,000 acres of club property, told of deeding the property to the new Everglades National Park committee with the admonition "Save the Deer."
