that the cost of this service in North Dakota is
6B cents, in South Dakota 9k cents, in Minnesota
SA cents, in Wyoming 91s CENTS in Montana 10

for bravery: "Our battery was the first

which was causing us much trouble and
heavy casualties. We got ahead of our

CHILD STUDY CLASS OF JEWISH
COUNCIL HOLD FINAL MEETING.

The final meeting of the Child Study
class of the Council of Jewish Women
was held on Tuesday afternoon, April
%, at the Temple House. Mrs. Arthur
Brin, who has been chairman of the
class, announced her retirement as
chairman, which is regretted by the
members. A standing vote of apprecia-
ton was given Mrs. Brin. Election of
officers took place, and the following
were elected for the ensuing year:
Leader, Mrs. Bernard S. Harris; vice
chairman, Mrs. Sidney L. Mayer; secre-
tary, Mrs. Louis Berry; treasurer, Mrs.
Jonas We'll; librarian, Mrs. Sigmund
Harris. A drive to the Audubon club
was then taken where Miss Frances M.
Smith of the Northrop Collegiate School
spoke on Birds" Miss Smith treated
her subject not from scientific or aca-
dennic view but treated rather from a
personal and intimate knowledge, result
ing from love and interest in the
birds. This manner of presentation made
it very delightful for the class, who are
in the main, amateurs in bird-lore. Miss
Smiths earnest and charming treatment
OF her subject gave the members a
deeper and more tender appreciation for
our little feathered friends. Another
visit with Miss Smith is happily antici-
pated in the near future. The afternoon
closed with drive to the home of Mrs.
Arthur Brin Of 1856 Lake Isles Boule-
ward, where tea and social half-hour
was thoroughly enjoyed. AS tribute
to Mrs. Brin's untiring efforts, her able
and helpful leadership, lovely gift, as
a token of appreciation, was presented
to Mrs. Brin by the members of the
class.
