THE WoMAN's CLUB

The Woman's Club was organized
Janaury, 1909, and federated the same
year. It's general plan of work is
along the lines recommended by the
National Federation of Women's
Clubs, under the following heads:
Civic, education, forestry and water
ways, animal protection, household
economics, health, club house, social,
music and literary. It's design is to
meet the requirements Of the busy
woman, who wants to keep in touch
with the things that so vitality con-
Germ herself, her home and her chill
dren, and though she has but little
time for personal effort, may attend
the meetings, and be informed of the
work done in the various departments,
here and elsewhere.
This club, through its several COM
mittees, has been instrumental in in
itiating, fostering and carrying on
many reforms and improvements,
such as abolishing unsightly sign
boards, making special war on mosqui-
toes and flies, observance of Arbor
Day in the schools, planting of grass
and trees, an annual Health Day, hos
pital benefit, lectures and demonstra-
tons in domestic science, inspection
Of market, dairies, bakeries, ordinance
to screen fruits and vegetables and to
prohibit scattering of handbills, medi-
cal examination of public school chill
dren and cooperation in many ways
with the city council, board of trade
and board of health.
The Junior Civic League, branch
of the club, has membership of 40
girls, and under it's able director, has
established a Comfort Lodge, which
is a great credit to our town. This
will be entered into more fully else
where in this edition.
The Wednesday Morning Musicale,
another branch of the club, has
large and enthusiastic membership.
1t meets each week and does splendid
work.
