Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1919-12-11
CLUB
NOTES

Surprise programs this year have
been an incentive to good attendance
J as well OF such interest that an alb
, sent member misses a relaxation and
} something of value as well. Such was
, the meeting before the last in charge
, chairman, and the program far ex-
ceeded expectations. The old saying
Beware how you entertain strang-
ers" held good in one instance. Mrs.
Bird from Sheridan, Wyoming, was
present, a stranger who with a pleas
ling personality and delightful play
ing won each heart. Her first num-
ber, Rhapsody Hungarian" from
the opera was explained so all could
understand the different phases and
movements.
Another solo by Cyril Scott, "Danse
Negre" explained the later compost
tions. Mrs. Eastman in her genial
manner sang with Mrs. Nelson ac-
companist. Then to the delight of all
Miss Johnson brought in about fif-
teen boys and girls from the West
side eighth grade who. sang robin
Adair", "Massa In the Cold Ground
and Nelly was Lady" This carried
Mrs. Bird back to earlier days and
| she played "lOld Folks At Home"
as composed by Blind Boone who
was her Grandfather's slave. Many
present had heard him play.
Mrs. Bird was looking for loca-
ton for her family and the Club
hopes for her early return.
New members were Mrs. Fred
Hurd and Mrs Elmer Cole.
A letter from Mrs. Catherine
Athey asked the Club to cooperate
with a county chairman in selling
Red Cross Tuberculosis Seals and
the Civics Committee, Mrs. Hobbs.
chairman, was asked to take charge
of the work and a beginning has al,
ready been made. 1t is now up to
every one to at least buy a limited
number of seals and put one on each
letter or package from now till all
are sold. The quota for Payette |
County is $1,000, there being seals |
and bonds enough to cover this
amount.
Read DR.. Rinehart in the Decem' |
ber American and see where duty
lies.
The meeting Monday was in
charge of the Home Economics com.
mittee, Mrs. ]. P. Walker, chairman.
This committee true to name, had
arranged a cooked food sale and a
social hour with refreshments which
seemed like the good old days of
yore when the Club had birthday
parties with a basket full of cups and
saucers. but alas, where are they
now. The money earned is for the
Club and is an example that should
be followed by other committees in
any way they choose. Many of the
Library books show much usage
and donation of good books would
be more than appreciated by the
Club. Mrs. White asked for addition
al workers and two or three volun-
teers. Any one whether Club member
or not, if reliable, that can give time
on certain afternoons, phone Mrs.
White who will arrange a coach to
show how the work is done. If you
want to become Club member
phone Mrs. Swank and pay one dol
lar per year. This reminds me, al
ways wait for a receipt. Some that
are in arrears by the books can easily
put themselves right bya receipt or
check
Mr.. Eastman came to ask the CO.
operation OF the Club for the Stock
Growers, in housing for beds only.
Charge if necessary. Another COM
rmittee to decorate for the Ball; an
other to plan an evening for the la
dies that will accompany their hus-
bands. Charging and breakfast are
optional with the host. The Hotel
capacity is limited but they can be
fed up town.
New members at this meeting re,
ported by Mrs. Swank were: Mrs.
Alta Coughanour, Mrs. Sands, and
Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Crump concluded the pro-
gram with a recipe, Lovers We'd
ding Cake but she brought no
sample.
