for our increase Of club membership.
Again, the town that IL Just begin
ming to take on shape and form
is the one that needs an orderly
woman's club to see that 1t retains
comely appearance as 1t goes along.
How much less work would have to
be undone or remodeled II our older
towns had been blessed with wom-
ans club in their early stages. Our
county superintendent OF schools IL
resorting to all sorts of schemes to
alter steep, pitchy stairways and
other awkward work in country
school houses, which would never
have been built there II mothers had
been alive to the needs OF their chill
dren's education. The town club
does not and cannot reach them. It
Is only by organizing a desire for
better conditions in the towns and
communities when they are needed
that these undesirable conditions can
be overcome. Hold your district
federation in small towns and leave
the large clubs to take care Of the
state meetings is the cry we have to
make loud and long, and often.
Mackay Is a well ordered town Of
perhaps 700. Mrs. Butterfield went
up there last spring to visit the club.
On returning she said, why you
told me Mackay was a mining town,
and ! found beautiful village with
pretty homes and charming club
women, siteuated In one of our most
picturesque valleys" We asked,
lido you think they can care for the
district federation?" The reply
came heartily, Certainly they can do
it beautifully; it was just right to go
to them for the next meeting"
Mackay is providing entertain
ment for all club members and cor
daily invites their coming. There
is good, full program of interest
ing work on hand, and they hope to
show you some of the beauties Of
their valley by driving. They have
a narrow gauge steam railroad run
ming up to the White Knob copper
mines that is a miniature Mt. Tamal-
pals In it's graceful winding curves
and zigzag method of climbing the
side. The view from the
summit is one of wonderful beauty,
also. Unfortunately landslide
leaves INSTRUCTED the roadway that
be removed in time for the
federation.
A committee on revising of the
constitution and bylaws of the first
district, has the following to submit
o the federation for consideration.
Read them over carefully and come
o Mackay prepared to talk and note
in regard to them We
ave had real businesslike club deal
ngs with the committee, and can as
ure you they are sensible women
Tho do not expect you to agree with
hem when 1t is against your honest
onvictions to do so. They will
hink more of you If you express
frank and honest opinion. Check
n with pencil any part that you
lay not understand or agree with,
ring the paper with you to the fed
ration and ask for information or
