The Civic department, through It's
president, Mrs. Greenwood, gave the
following report OF its work for the
past year:
The Civic department has given It's
study and thought more to the pro-
blems concerning the young people
this year than II did last. Articles
have been written or read followed
reation for young people, especially
play grounds and moving picture
shows, probation work and child vel
fare, which Ia the topic for the May
meeting.
The more practical side OF the work
has included the establishment OF q
free rest room for women and little
tots with a nurse in attendance, as
part OF the plans OF the Power County
Fair association and eventually we
hope for a permanent building for
that purpose.
The sale OF the Red Cross stamps was
conducted here for the first time In
American Falls by our department.
We were also responsible for the
30 thoroughly enjoyed by all that we
trust IL may be of yearly occurance.
We encouraged, by personal work
and advertising and securing the CO.
operation OF others, the poisoning OF
the English sparrows that our native
birds might not be driven from coming
to our town and saving our trees and
shrubs from injurious insects.
An excellent new road has just been
completed to the cemetery through
our efforts and before Decoration Day
the cemeteries themselves will be
greatly improved.
The cleanup work and public dump
ing ground has been ever present az
Fall and Spring Cleanup Days and
the members OF the council can testi-
fy. We have asked for and received
the help OF the children In this work
through the schools this year and be-
lieve the greatest beneft to the town
will come through this support and
training OF the children.
Six more public waste barrels have
been placed on the streets.
The Western Consumers week was
observed and more work In prepara-
tion for II was done than last year.
We hope to add to the list OF ac-
complished things. the installation. Of
a curfew In the form OF wistle, tt
remind the young people and the par.
ents the wise time for the children tt
be In their homes and of the streets
committee waits upon the council
this evening In regard to II.
