O1uDe ].
The chairman of the committee and
the committee to be in charge will be
selected later by Mrs. Mary D. Brad
ford, presiding officer of the club. This
was decided at a business meeting held
Tuesday afternoon by the City club.
Another important matter taken up
was the report of Mrs. Allen Cole,
chairman Of the city waste committee,
after discussion of which members rep
resenting every ward Of the city, volun-
teered to be present to give moral sup
port to the committee November Is
when it presents it's garbage recon-
mendations to the city council.
Urge Probation Officer.
Mrs. E. S. Jordan presented reso-
luton in her capacity Of chairman of
the protection committee, in which Of
fee she succeeds Mrs. Charles Mat
thews, to the effect that the city of
Kenosha badly needs a probation officer
to care for juvenile and Young women
delinquents and believes that woman
probationer should be chosen The club
unanimously passed the resolution and
the probation committee was asked to
present a copy of it in full to the
county board when it calls upon it to
ask it's appointment of woman proba-
toner.
Mrs. Chester Barnes, chairman of the
+bo+ 20
campaign Of education has been ar
ranged by which it is hoped every
voter will be well informed before cleo
tion day next spring as to the two
tenths of a mill tax on which refer
endum vote is to be taken. If the bill
calling for the tax is passed it will
mean $4,000 for Kenosha to expend in
public recreation.
Will Bring Exhibit.
Miss Louise Cottrell, chairman Of the
child welfare committee reported that
an effort is being made by her com
mittee to get the child welfare exhi-
bition Of the National Child Welfare
association sent to Kenosha for two
weeks exhibition in different social
centers and public schools.
Mrs. Oscar Silberschmidt, chairman
of the friendly visiting committee re
ported work done by her committee in
the way of study and work.
The text of the report Of the garbage
committee as presented by Mrs. Cole
is as follows:
s'Two definite steps have been taken
by the City Waste Committee of this
club to inform the CEREAL public in re
gard to the municipal collection of gar
bage TIE first was to secure Miss Mary
Mcdowell head resident of the Univer
sity of Chicago Settlement and Presi-
dent Of the Woman S City club to give
us an illustrated lecture on the Munich
pal Collection and disposal of garbage
on November 30th at a $3.50 banquet in
these rooms. Her knowledge of the
subject is such that she is often called
the Garbage Queen and what she
tells should be very interesting to all
who have the health and beauty of
Kenosha at heart, for we are sure to
get inspiration from so untiring
worker for civic good as Miss Nc
Dowell is we'll known to be.
News Is Aid.
The second definite step has been
to secure the use of column of the
Evening News so that especially the
women, who are the natural housekeep-
ers of the city may make public their
sentiments on municipal collections of
garbage. And I will take this oppor
tunity to urge all present to indorse
this movement by using this column,
even if you only send in a line, and to
make a plea that you allow your own
signatures to be published. A signed
article always carries more weight
than one that is unsigned.
Other plans for reaching the women
on this question are well under way.
Mrs. Tremper, the head of the General
Council for Parent-Teacher Associa
tions in Kenosha, has invited me to
speak to the Council at its next meet
ing, SO that we may hope for public
resolutions from all the Parent Teacher
Associations in favor of municipal col
lection of garbage IN the near future
After the Councilmen.
Another step will be to interview
each alderman in the hope Of enlisting
his interest and support for an ap-
proved garbage ordinance.
And the last step before Miss Nc
Dowell's lecture on the 30th of this
month viii be to send delegation
representing every ward in the city to
the next Council meeting, which will be
