The following ladies of Douglas met
last Monday evening at Mt Olive Bap-

as Mothers Club: Mesdames Garri-

This is a move in the right direction
and the ladies deserve much credit
for the wise step they have taken.
Let no slackers be found, for they
need every mother in the city and it
is hoped that all will join. The OF.

the teachers and work for better con-

work together and we will accomplish
something. If you don't approve of
the Mothers Club, please read Prov
