VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Some Things Accomplished by the
Womens Civic Club.

About two years ago, number o.
active women having in mind the neeC
of identifying our city and being de.
sirous to assist in everything that made
for the betterment of Mineral Point apc
vicinity. formed Civic Club. The be-
ginning was small. but the enthusiasm
of those who formulated the plans was
unlimited and great things have already
been accomplished.
One of the first things done was to
cause to be placed over the post office
beautiful U. s. flag, and "Old Glory"
may be there seen floating to the breeze
In cooperation with city officials, the
| club personally directed the planting of
shrubbery and flowers and otherwise
identifying the city hall park.
They instituted a compsign against
the house fly, until noticeable reduction
in their number is apparent.
"Clean- Up Week" had its inception
in the minds of the Civic Club, and
while all that is desired has not been
accomplished, yet strong sentiment
has been aroused in favor Of making
Mineral Point a CITY Beautiful" A

places have been graded and covered
with good SOIL

ing room on the grounds, which has
been favorably commented upon.
Through their efforts two women have
been appointed members of the school
board and many improvements made in
the sanitary conditions of our public
buildings.
The equipping of Jerusalem Park as
a play ground is due solely to the &C
