Of magazines to Oklawaha, another to

urer's report showed a balance of
s12.06. Mrs. B. H. Seymour, CORES
ponding secretary, announced that
80 members were enrolled.
The program for the afternoon was
n charge of the civics committee and
the splendid program, arranged by
Mrs. H. w. Tucker, in the absence of
the chairman, Mrs. G. J. Bitch, who
was prevented from being present on
account of the illness of her son,
proved most interesting.
The opening number was delight
ful piano solo by Miss Marie Burnett
Mrs. Tucker then read the committee
report, q report filled with deeds ac-
complished. The next task of the
committee will be the identifying of
the club house grounds. Recently
clean up week was held with the re-
suit that the city sanitary inspector
says hat the town is in better con-
dition than it has ever been.
An excellent original paper on
civics was read by Mrs. C. w Hunter.
It was full of good suggestions one
of which was to designate one day in
week to wage campaign against,
flies, thereby eventually Kidding the
town of the germ pests. Her paper
was very fine.
The principal speaker of the after
noon was Prof. w. H. Cassels, prin-
cipaI of the Ocala high school, who
was introduced by the president. It
was his first address before the club
and those who were present Satur-
day are delighted that he is to again
appear on the program is May. Prof.
Cassels talked impromptu on school
Fairgrounds and their necessity. Too
much time is spent on mental train
ing, the speaker said, and not enough
on the physical. The mind can't be
developed as it should be without
proper physical development, shown
in the fact that Greece, when the
Olympic games were being held, pro-
duced the greatest mental giants the
world has ever known. There are
only some half dozen high schools in
the southland that have thoroughly
equipped Fairgrounds for children.
Adequate Fairgrounds rectify, to
large degree, the need of punishment.
Prof. Cassels regretted the Ocala
school was not given ten-acre cam
pus.
The program was concluded with
delightful piano solo by Miss Isabelle
Davis, after which the hostesses,
Mrs. T. C. Luckie and Mrs. Walter
Marsh, during the social hour served
TEA and sandwiches.

young lady of Lakeland, is the guest

Miss Beatrice Weineckie, of Jack
sonville, is the fortnight guest of Miss
Hester Dewey, arriving this after
noon.
Mrs. Charles Rheinauer entertained
a number of her little friends yester-
day morning at a jolly Easter egg
hunt on her pretty lawn.

and Mrs. C. S. Cullen, the Episcopal
