The second meeting of the member
ship committee for the Kenosha Girls
Club was held last night at G. c. S. L.
rooms The number of new shares re-
ported brought the number to $50,
making the present subscription total
$4,000. With four more days to work
and 115 more shares to reach the goal
of 500 by September 18th, it looks as
if the committee members will to work
very very hard, unless all those who
really should be members come forth
and volunteer without waiting to be
urged.
Each member was supplied with adj
ditionsl literature concerning the club,
containing information most needed TO
reach all the girls
@One's Best Sufficient"
1 have always believed that ones
best, if conscientiously given, viii
never fail to be sufficient to the task
attempted. l have believed that all of
my life. have never known it to fail
l don't believe it will fail in Kenosha,
but I will say that when Saturday,
September 18th, arrives, that day will
find me where 1 must say, "This is the
best I can do for Kenosha." I can do
no more with words and mental pic
lures, and unless that best" is suffi-
cient to produce a girls club that is
reality, then the wonderful scheme,
which I know viii succeed If it is at
tempted, will never be worked out
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
the club proposition is within the
reach of every girl who truly and con-
scientiously wants to be a member. It
is now our business to see that every
girl has chance to accept or reject
the proposition. Whether the answer
is in the negative or affirmative, it is
bringing us nearer and nearer the an
swer to the question, "How great is
the demand 2" To answer that ques-
ton beyond the slightest doubt, would
be to do big thing for Kenosha.
There is absolutely no getting around
the fact that the demand of any indi-
vidual for anything isn't very great if
it isn't sufficient to make him strive
to achieve it; to make him sacrifice, if
need be, to win it.
Not Something for Nothing.
Be things what they may, in all
things we must learn to pay our price
Of admission There are no handicaps
save those we recognize, and if anyone
doubts that, I'd like that person to
spend on day at Fort Sheridan
Let US not for moment feel that to
establish this club and carry it to
successful standing is going to be an
easy thing to do. 1t isn't We are
pioneers of a brand new idea in this
girls club plan and to be a good pic
neer means that you not only see the
value of blazing the trail for others.
but that you are willing to defend at
the expense Of discomfort to yourself
the principle that you believe in. Let
US rather prepare ourselves to get
right down to some good hard work in
the coming year with the idea Of hsv-
ing our little "Kenosha Girls Club
able to at least stand alone" on its
first birthday. It can be done - let's
do it!
"Be Club Girl"
/ I wish to urge once again that every
girl in Kenosha give to the club her
very best and to give that best before
Saturday I know that the combined
"best" Of all the girls in KeKnOSha
will spell success for the club. GIn3s, I
ask you earnestly, honestly and very
directly, "Have you done your best q
