held and new plans formulated each

for the community, the Sunshine peo-

may assist the larger organization in
its campaign for a better East Side.
In future all benevolent work that
comes before the mems club will be
referred to the Crawford society.
The new Sunshine cottages at Forest
Lake, Mimi, have been completed and
are being furnished as fast as dona-

This has been under consideration for
some time, and will be made one of the
most enthusiastic gatherings. of the
year. An elaborate program of toasts

The officers of the Commercial club

conveniently located, will be chosen as
the place for the outing.
