w. C. T. u. Convention at Barton
Nav 1921

The Barton Union entertains the
county convention this year and we
are expecting a profitable as well as
enjoyable meeting. A fine program
has been prepared, taking up the ad-
vance work of the organization which
has to do with topics that are of vital
Importance to the welfare of every
community.
Miss Elizabeth Van Patten of Bur-
lington will speak on Child Welfare,
Wednesday evening. Miss Van Pat
ten is a state worker along these
lines, and is most interesting
speaker. We are beginning to realize
the important place which the child
in our midst holds in the civic life of
our state and we should take advan-
tage of every opportunity to learn
more of the work.
Mrs. Olive Kimball of Glover will
give an address on the needs of World
Prohibition, and kindred topics, which
affect the life of the world, in this
time of upheaval. Mrs. Kimball is
an up-to-date woman, and fine
speaker, and l am sure you will want
to hear her.
The subject of anti-narcotics will
be handled by the Rev. j. j. Hutch
inson, pastor of the Congregational
church of Barton, and every one who
has heard Mr.. Hutchinson knows that
he is Give wire' and will treat this
subject, which today is perhaps the
greatest menace to our boys and
girls that we have in the community
in convincing maner.
Though our enlightened (O, pub
lic-spirited (?), up-to-date CD COVER
nor has tried to hold back the sure
advance of equal suffrage, it is surely
coming, and the women are anxious
:! to fit themselves to vote intelligently
AS an entering wedge we are going
to discuss the subject of civic respon.
sibility. Mrs. M. M. Taplin and Rev
C. d. Pierce of Orleans will present
this subject for our consideration anC
an opportunity will be given for dis
cussion, also.
With these outstanding features
we shall have some fine music, recita
tions by Mesdames Turner and Han
son, talk on eugenics by Mrs. Robin
son of Orleans, giving US a glimpse o.
her own work in this field.
Of course our own women know
that our own department work anl
business will be taken up as usual.
We expect our own women will
come from the different unions ant
help to make the convention a sue
cess, and we want them in large mum
bers, but we also hope that the citi
zens of Barton and the surroundin,
towns will attend the sessions and w
can assure you of hearty welcom
and fully expect to give you some
thing worth while. Come and help +
make this a real community affair
and start the ball rolling for civi
lbetterment.
