given by the nominating committee
of the list of officers to be voted on

bell. The program was taken in
charge by the civics and current
events committee. Two vocal selec-
tions were pleasingly rendered, May
Day Morn" by the music circle and
solo, april Weather" by Mrs. James
J. Hutchinson. Mrs. H. e. Folsom,
chairman of the civic committee,
then introduced the Rev. Paul d.
Moody of St. Johnsbury, who spoke
on the subject, 1.-THE New Conscience
in Civics.'' Mr.. Moody made an ex-
cellent impression and his address
was very timely and good. He spoke
of four lines in which the conscience
of today shows a change in its man
ner of considering civic affairs. First
is the insistence upon the value OF
prevention rather than cure; second,
the recognition of the inter-depen-
dence of mind and body, and the
consequent frequent physical basis of
criminality; third, the solidarity o.
the race, so that all suffer from
disaster to one; fourth, the develop
ing sense of individual responsible
ity. The program closed by the
singing of the Star Spangled Banner,
and nearly all remained to enjoy
social hour and partake of fruit
punch and fancy waters served by
the social committee. The next club
meeting will be held at $3.50 P. M,
May 20. This is the annual business
meeting and it is hoped there will
be good attendance as many i'm
portant matters are to be discussed
and decided. Among others is the
question of changing the day of the
club meeting from Thursday to Tues
day. This is done in order that this
club and the St. Johnsbury Club may
sometimes be able to cooperate in
engaging speakers for the club meet
ings. There are many other ques-
tions to be decided, delegates to elect
to the state federation meeting at st.
Adams, reports of all officers and
committees.
