al udy, Supt. Banghart is planning q
display of work by the pupils of our
, school. The hand work of pupiIs

Rose Lane, one of our members and
an excellent primary teacher, will
talk OF the need and use of hard WORK
IN school. Several other things are
being planned for, but no definite,
program is made yet. IN

women realize that we are making
history with Echoes" We have the
only district organ this desk knows
OF, we nave the first local club Or
gained in the state, we are re-
cordlng much that will be of interest
TO the next generation, who will be
fully alive to know all about the
work accomplished by their mothers
and grandmothers. Can't you shut
your eyes for moment to present
surroundings, look ahead forty years
or so, see some young girl unearth-
Ing an old scrap book from safe
hiding place where it has been care
fully stored until these young relic
hunters have found it just now. As
they bring it to light, Jean exclaims.
Look girls! An old scrap book of
mothers" Echoes of Women's
Clubs" says Mary. Then they all
gather about and you hear something
like this: Edith Easley, why she was
my great-grandmother, and once up-

up and exclaims: "a wash board!
What is that, pray?" "Oh, don't YOU

saw one over at Boise in the Pho

hey rubbed soiled clothes on it some
way to get them clean, and great
grandmother, Edith Easley, used one
or years and years, before they knew
lnything about electric clothes clean

hey turn page or two when Kathe-
