The following from the pen Of Zela
A. DurbiB Of Emerson, Iowa, is also OF
interest to w. c. It. U. workers:
u had expected this letter to reach
you In time to be read at your meet
ing, which / know was the second
week in March, but possibly you can
use IT later on. You will remember
that when was visiting you, your w.
c. r. U. was trying TO pass a curfew
ordinance, and of course, ! remember
it's fate. When I returned to Iowa /
told our Union about 1t and they sug-
gested we try to have one passed in
our little town. Our ministers came
| TO the rescue, offered their services,
and talked with our business men.
We circulated our petition and pre-
sented il TO our mayor and council.
Well, the ordinance has been in force
now for three months, and we consid-
er II grand success. And now we
have borrowed another idea of yours.
I told them about your invalid chair.
We got busy made some money and
now own one which we have Just
loaned Tor the first time. Another
thing we learned from your Union
The yearly visits to the county infirm-
airy, taking with us the little gifts OF
cheer. So you see, dear friend, that
the seed you have been sowing there
In Ohio is bearing fruit away out
here in this little western town.
Please give my love to the women of
your w. Z. T. U. and tell them have
not forgotten the time when we lived
there under the Shadow of the Open
Saloon. can well remember how
hard they worked to put it cut, and
you see II meant so much to us, for
that was at the time our boys were
growing up, you know.
Nov. dear friend, do not get dis
eOuraged for our work is moving on
and the W. C. r. U. still lives"
