A Permanent Organization.

The wish has been expressed many
times that the organization may be a
permanent one and to that end the
executive committee voted to ask the
aid and cooperation Of other men and
women in the city to follow up in a
way the work begun at Christmas.
That spasmodic interest often does
more harm than good is fact recog-
.nized by sociologists everywhere.
For convenience of division the
Good Fellows will use the school dis
tricts for the lines bounding the vari-
Gus districts in which they will visit
and maintain friendly interest
throughout the year in the acquaint,
ances made at Christmas time.
The original Good Fellows exeuc-
tive committee consisted of Miss
Frances Meigs, chairman; Mrs. /. A.
Sawyer, Mrs. William Lowitz. Mrs. NJ
M Risberg, Mrs. G. D. Streeter, Mrs
Hazen Sawyer, Mrs. Harry j. Reeves
Miss Edna O'Harra and Miss Mary
Howell.
The associate committee of men
were Messrs Frank LeBron, A. E
lMatless, Geo. Rix, j. b. We'll, Law
renee Scott, James Huiskamp, B. 3
Hobbs, Jesse Baker and Arthur Kie
ldaisch.
