Decidedly informal but wholly as pleasant an affair as the club has ever put on in it's history. the re- ception rendered the ladies of the town by the Tempe Womans club at the home of H. c. Corson on Friday afternoon was a complete success from start to finish While not a business meeting of the organization, no small amount of planning was made for the future which forecast some exceptionally interesting, en- ioyable and beneficial times for the next few months. Then there were the impromptu talks by the members and the serving of refreshments. And last. but not least, came the enroll ment of a number of new members
 Enthusiasm and interest marks ev- cry gathering of the Tempe Wo- mans club and especially was this noticeable at the reception Friday afternoon. There is a whole lot in store for this winter and to those who take part there will be a lot to gain both from educational and en- tertainment stand points Club meet ings from now until the first of the year will be wide open to visitors and to those who are interested the club officials extend a most cordial invitation to attend.

The petition is signed by the owners of more than 2O0O feet CT the frontage on the two streets among them some of the most prominent men in the town. Many of them feel that the time is inOpportune to undertake such an improvement that Mesa needs other things more than few blocks of asphalt. How it will end remains tt be seen. but there is likely to be some fight before the controversy Is ended
