THE LOWELL THOMAS LECTURE The lecture by Mr. Lowell Thomas, held on the evening of May 16 at the Ridgeway Theater in White Plains, was most successful in every way. Mr. Thomas, who' spoke on the subject of Around the World and on the Air, was introduced by Dr. John A. Krout of Scarsdale. The Misses Claire and Ann Patterson, Peggy Foot and Betty Carter of Scarsdale, and the Misses Sybil Prichard and Louise Whitehouse of Mount Kisco acted as ushers for the evening. The lecture was arranged by a committee headed by Mrs. D. Irving Mead of Scarsdale and Waccabuc, and was sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary Committee of which Mrs. Frank W. Seth of

White Plains is chairman. Mrs. Seth has announced that, with funds obtained by the event, it will be possible to keep the Society headquarters open during the summer; also a telephone has been installed there. The committee is planning further work to benefit the appearance and facilities of the library.
