The forces Of the Civic Club were at
work on our street on last Wednesday
and made most creditable showing

moved and replaced by new ones. The
lady members as usual were out with
rakes and hoes and everything IN
slightly was either burned or hauled
away The working members of the
club have not petitioned as yet for mem
bership in the union and as a conse-
quence are privileged to be on the job
for ten hours. They certainly availed
themselves Of the privilege and stuck
to the work until everything looked
spick-and- span. Great is the Civic Club
