CLUB MEMBERS
HAVE BIG WEEK
Many Avail Themselves OF Opportu.
nifty Afforded Them; Prominent
Speakers Present.
(By Mrs. Pearl Keller)

Last week was pig time for the
club girls of Henry county. Many
availed themselves of the wonderful
opportunity afforded them by at.
tending the camp at the fair grounds.
Although there were not so MANY en-
camped as were expected, still each
day brought forth new visitors. Many
fine lessons were taught and the
week will be long remembered by
those in attendance.
On Tuesday morning DR.. Horace
McSwain gave very interesting and
valuable talk on "Why adenoids and
enlarged tonsils should be removed" Z"
In the afternoon the girls enjoyed a
matinee party to see Daddy Long
Legs at the Dixie after which de-
llghtful ice course was served at
Morris That evening they were en-
tertained with music and games at
Mrs. Poyner's near the grounds. On
Wednesday morning Rev. H. B. John
ston and Rev. Pickens gave splendid
talks to the girls followed by a scien-
tific exposition on the care of the
teeth, the evil effects of bad teeth.
etc, by DIR. Fox. His lecture was
illustrated by splendid chart show
ing the physiological structure of the
teeth, and was thereby enabled to
make the INSTALLATION of these i'm
portant members more vivid on the
minds of the members. In the af |
ternoon Miss Maude Guthrie made
an illustrated talk on "dress"-the
appropriateness and care of clothing.
The canning Of corn and beans were
demonstrated by the use of the steam
pressure Gamer. Mrs. Golden, who
also lives near the fair grounds in
vited us to her home to hear the Vic
trola.
Thursday, Miss Arey of Jackson
gave some health exercises followed |
by health talk by Mrs. Warner of
Knoxville. They did not say so but /
/ knew that their vision had come
just when we began to introduce
games and singing and good times in
connection with the serious work. I
wish | could impress upon every per-
son in Henry county just how much it
does help Co give folks achance to
laugh once in while. Of course
none of us ever actually intend to
bore our people, but "all work and no
play make Jack adullboy." Thursday
night we had a party and many peo-
pie from surrounding communities
were present. Music and games were
The order of the 'vening.
Friday, tn Glorious Fourth, was
the crowning event Of TIE camp. The
parents came and brought the bows
and little children. Although we
were disappointed in not having
speaker from Memphis, still we had
good time, A clever stunt was pull
ed off by the girls, also several songs
were sung by the club members fol-
owed by appropriate talks from
many present. After this all packed
heir things and left for home feeling
glad they were living and that they
lad the wonderful privilege of being
club member.
We would not fail to mention tholse

Die by furnishing us with the neces-
'ary supplies. The High School
Board of Education granted us the
lse of cooking vessels, dishes, seats /,

t our friends and neighbors we were
