new CENTURY CLUB
First Bushes, Meeting Of The Year
Largely Attended
INTERESTING TALK ON SERBIA

The first business meeting of the year
Of the Middletown New Century Club
was held on Tuesdey afternoon. Mrs.
w. K. Belts, assistant secretary, read
the minutes from May 13 up to the pres
ent time. The program for the year is
to be instructive and entertaining. A
large attendance is so inspiring to those
who have tried to prepare pleasing
program and to those who are giving
the entertainment for the afternoon.
With much regret the club accepted
Mrs. Shepherds resignation as treas
urer. Mrs. Julian Cleaver " as elected
to fill the vacancy.
The card party, which was to have
been held Oct. 3lst, has been called of
for the present. Those who hold tickets
for the same, will have their money re-
funded by those from whom they pur-
chased them. The president requested
that all those whose dues have not been
paid, to kindly hand them to the treas
urer or secretary.
1t was suggested by Miss Helen Shall
cross, chairman Of industry. that an
afternoon card party be formed. A
series of eight parties to be held, scores
kept, and at the end prizes given for
the highest scores, light refreshments
to be served at each party. Tickets for
the eight afternoons will be $500. The
first or trial party will be held next
Wednesday. afte,no Nov. 18th, at
2.3O o'clock. There will be no charge
for this first one, and all ladies. both
members and on-members are invited
to come and enjoy an afternoon OF
cards.
It was decided to rent the committee
room to the Board of Education as q
class room for the fourth and fifth
grades. Mrs. Rhodes, teacher in
charge.
After the business meeting, the club
listened to Mrs w. K. Belts report OF
the annual meeting of the State Fed
GRAFTON held in Wilmington last June.
Her report was most excellent and one
could almost feel the hospitality of the
Wilmington ladies, and hear the inspir-
ing talks of the meetings It is to be
regretted that so many of our members
did not hear this fine report. Another
treat Of the afternoon was talk by
one of our own Middletown girls. who
did her bit loyalty, both during and
after the war, Miss Louise Mcdowell.
She was dressed in the native Serbian
costume, and told US of Serbia, a coun'
try of which we have heard little, but
which we find loves and appreciates
America.
A most satisfactory report of the cor
poration treasurer was read by Miss
Helen Shallcross.
Next Tuesday, Miss Helen Hart. ex
ecutive secretary Americanization Com
mittee, of Delaware, will speak to tht
club ON ''Americanlzation." There viii
also be some good music.

Such course would seem wiser from every angle.
