The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-02-05

considered live force in town
noted throughout the United States
for Its progressive citizenship. Their
latest work has been in raising funds
for Miss Renstrom during her tute-
lage at Kid-Key preparatory to tour
ing Europe.
In Chickasha the city federation
instigates many movements that tend
to the advancement of the city.
In fact the city federation reflects
the pulse of the town And what is
the matter with Ardmore and her
city federation?
We have four literary clubs and
four mothers clubs who could unite
to form a club of wonderful force
and benefit.
If Ardmore intends to do any civic
work the time is ripe.
In the Ladies OF the Leaf, a COM
mittee has been appointed to sug.
gest work along these lines.
Mrs. Moran Scott is chairman of
This committee and has made some
splendid practical suggestions. One
of Mrs. Scotts ideas that struck
the club most happily was the form
ing of boulevards to the Confeder-
ate Home, Hargrove College, the
cemetery and some of the club or
city lakes.
The streets were to be planted in
trees and kept in good condition
for driving.
Mrs. SCOTS idea is to have at.
tractiye drives to the various parts
of our city, the objective points she
selected being subject to change, if
desirable. The drive to the Confed-
crate Home. with a little urging,
seems to he almost an accomplished
and Highland Park is section line
which must be opened. This line is
the road in front of the Confederate
Home and the promoters of Walcott
Addition have expressed their will.
ingness to cooperate in making this
a most attractive driveway.
The City Park on the old Lee
property is another problem for the
civic club. 1t is understood that the
city intends to spend some funds
on the park and it is hoped they
may be spent as economically and
to as good effect as possible, both by
the city officials and the citizens.
If it be really impossible to have
a thriving and enthusiastic civic
club or city federation. why cant
this wonk be taken up in our va
rious literary clubs by committees
appointed for that purpose, of la
dies who can meet together and
report their work TO their clubs for
discussion.
The Ferndale Review Club has
ever been lively factor in the
Ferndale Addition and a committee
of their capable club members would
have many good ideas on this sub
ject. The Orio Club has accomplish.
ed some of the best results of any
club in our city-they have a way
of pushing things they undertake to
a successful completion-why not
committee of these women?
Mrs. Moran Scott and Mrs. R. F..
Turner have been appointed from
the Ladies of the Leaf.
The Self Culture Club is a new
organization, so why not champion
the cause of civic improvement?
Then the Mothers Clubs-what a
rich field from which to gather in
the workers!
Don't you think Il would be
splendid idea to get to thinking
about these matters?
Women are studying housekeeping
as a science and keeping the city
clean is only another form of 1t.
