10000 Club Holds
Regular Session

Yesterdays meeting of the Woman's
Ten Thousand Club proved to be a
very interesting session. Perhaps
the most important step taken was the
motion to draw money from the treas
ury to make final payment on the
valuable site of six lots belonging to
the club, located on State street, near
Fifth.
The president, Mrs. w. S. Fawcett,
made announcement Of the following
ladies as appointed by her, to serve
on the Ways and Means committee to
determine what to do about erecting
a club house, and the best method of
procedure. The committee is coW-
posed of Mrs. r. B. Vale, Mrs. Violet
Campbell, Mrs. C. E. Paris, MrH Dan
V. Noland and Mrs. J. w. Lindsay.
Mrs. Fawcett's request to be released
from serving on this committee, was
reluctantly granted.
The reports of Mrs. W. w. Apple
and Mrs. A. Anderson, delegates from
the club to the Southern District c.
E. W. c. meeting held recently at San
Diego were listened to with the great
est Of interest and profit. The Wo-
mans Ten Thousand Club was rep
resented at this gathering by eight
women, being the largest delegation
from any one club, outside of the city
of San Diego. Mrs. Griswold who
was chairman of the committee of
resolutions, presented at the San Di-
ego convention, gave resume of the
resolutions adopted.
1t developed that the action of the
club women in voting against the pro-
posed invasion of the Hetch Hetchy
water supply by the city of San Fran
cisco is not based merely upon their
love of nature, and the fear that the
national park system will be deplored.
but if San Francisco is allowed this
grant from the government it will
take away water needed in the de-
velopment of the San Joaquin valley,
that locality being dependent on ir-
rigation the same as the Imperial val
ley. And San Francisco can get their
water supply from other sources and
should be willing to pay for It.
The resolution on 'Mother Craft"
was presented following the most val
liable paper on home economies, given
by Mrs. R. B. Vaile, former president
of the w. T. T. C. Club and now dis
trict chairman of Household Econom-
les for the southern district.
The program of the afternoon was
in charge of Mrs. W. w. Poole. Mrs.
Merrill, accompanied by Miss Inez
Collier sang "My Heart" by C. Cham
made, and graciously responded to an
encore.
The paper dealing with current
events by Mrs. P. L. Hedrick, was a
clear and concise record of the his
tory making events of the present day,
and all agreed with the president in
wishing we might have current events
more often on our program.
The membership of the club was
augmented by the addition of eight
new members.
The social committee, of which Mrs.
]. r. Robson is chairman, made an
nouncement of a card and dancing
