BEAUTIFYING DALLAS

A very important and successful
meeting of the Civic Improvement
Department of the Women S Club was
held at the home of Mrs. J. G. Van
Orsdel, Tuesday afternoon, February
18th. Several topics pertaining to the
beautifying of our city were discuss
ed and excellent plans were suggested.
Mrs. Hort. C. Eakin read an article
on Rose Culture, which was interest
ing and instructive. Miss Lura Will
son of Salem sang pretty solo, her
accompanist was Miss Dorothy Ben
nett, Mrs. D. M. Metzger gave talk
on clean-up-day, and the plans of the
club were outlined.
1t is the desire of the club to OBJ
tain the cooperation of the city coum-
ell, as it would be impossible for them
to carry ON this work and obtain sat
results without their assist
ance.
They propose to furnish grass seed
free of charge to all who are willing
to SOW same and beautify their lawns.
A lady who will be called director,
will be appointed in every block in
the city, whose duty it will be to look
after and report on the conditions
that exist in her Individual block.
