CITY FORM CLUB
Organization Is Perfected With Fifty
Charter MEMBERSHIPS M. L.
Turnage Made President.

At a meeting of more than half a
hundred business women of the city
at the Elks Club last night the 'Bus-
mess Woman's Club Of Greenwood
was organized with Mrs. M. L. Tur-
mage president. Miss Pearl Smith
was selected as first vice president; !;
Miss Huella Quarrells, second vice
president; Miss Adele Marks, secre-
tary protein; Miss Mamie Gillian,
treasurer Each officer was elected
for term of six months and no Off
Ger will be allowed to succeed her
self
The Board of Directors of the club
is composed of Miss Lena Stockner,
Miss Elma Rimmer, Miss Zelphia
Cain, Miss LORNA Lumbrick, Mrs.
Mamie B. Sims.
Prior to the election of officers,
Mrs. Turnage presided and explained
the purpose of the organization. "Only
business women who are actually en-
Gagged in earning their own living will
be eligible to become a member of the
organization" said Mrs. Turnage.
"The women of the city who are in
terested in the movement may become
associate members of the club and pay
their membership dues but they will
have no voice in the government of
the organization
Mrs. Turnage explained that the
hope of the organization was to pro-
mote the social and economic welfare
Club. rooms will be provided as soon
as it is possible to obtain a loca-
tion and paid secretary, who will
devote her entire time to the work,
will be in tailed.
The Eiks have generously donated
the ladies' parlor for the use of the
club until they are in position to
provide other club rooms.
1t is the ambition of the promoters
of the organization to some time
within the near future erect a club
hcme in this city and with this in
view the club has something definite
to work for One Of the serious
problems which has confronted the
business women Of the city is thu
fact that the scarcity of rooms il
Greenwood is appalling. Busines:
women coming here are often forced
to remain in hotels for sometime be
fore they can obtain rooms else
where. If the club can secure proper
accommodations, it will provide sew
eral bed rooms where the women Cal
be housed until they can become per
manently located.
Mrs. w. S. Barry was present at tn
meeting last night and made a mum
ber of helpful suggestions. Mr.:
Barry who is one of the promoter
of the organization, is also an asse
eiate member.
The Business Woman's Club G
Greenwood was organized with
charter members. There are approx
imately 300 working women with
the city and it is hoped to enroll eac
as a member of the club.
Another meeting of the organic:
ton will be held on next Monda
night at the Elks Club.
The membership dues are so cen
per month and every business won
an with the city is urged to becon
member.
