The weather man is usually a mean
old thing-especially when you want
him to be good, but he must have
known yesterday that there were
nearly two hundred children of the
jefferson county boys and girls clubs
who were dead anxious to be able to
enjoy the good time which was plasl-
ned for them here by the county de-
monstration agents, Mrs. Lucy Critz,
Miss Miriam Jones, Joel Lambert and
C. H. Thomas. A better day for a
days Qualification could not be had.
! The opening session of the club
rally was held in the circuit court
room at the court house, and after
some club songs, and some addresses
by prominent local business men, and
we'll known agricultural experts, the
children marched to the Y. W. G.. A.
cafeteria where they were served
dinner. After dinner, they were treat
ed to theatre party, which was fol-
lowed by an ice cream feast on the
lawn of the court house. A street
car ride of an hour was the final
event of the most eventful day.
