Civic Association

At the June meeting of the Civic As
sociation It was voted that q public ex-
preston of appreciation should be CIV
en- for the generous and hearty support
given by 80 many in making the ''Fi-
Fi' perfor nance a success, with per-
haps special mention of the generosity
of the orchestra members, although
when 80 many give so much time to an
effort for any cause, it is hard to make
distinctions. The final net receipts
from the performance amount to $780,
1T, little more than previously an
nounced. This will probably all 60 in
to park improvement or upkeep, for
while we now have park commission,
there is so very little money available
for their use that the women of the
Civic Association are glad to continue
their efforts for the same purposes.
Membership in the association is open
to all, and if every woman in town
would only hand her dues each year to
one of the officers without solicitation
it would be the greatest help possible.
Dues may be handed to the secretary,
Mrs. McHugh, to the assistant secre-
tary, Mrs. C. E. Farnsworth. or to the
treasurer, Mrs. z. T. Tomas. Meet
ings are the first Monday of each month
at 2:3O in the afternoon, and at the IL
brary.

chased covers half q block in the most
desirable part of the city. The build

are most desirable. 1t is quite, it is
clean. No better location could be &C.
cured for St. Luke's hospital.
The property was purchased at the
extremely low price of $25, $3.50 90. On
the north part of the site is a large,
well built modern house. which is
we'll adapted for nurses home, and
will supply this need for many years to
come. The lawn is fine, and there are
many beautiful shrubs and trees on the
property which makes it exceptionally
attractive.
