Annual Meeting of
WOman's Club

The annual meeting Of the Woman's
Club, the last one that will be held
until fall, was held yesterday after
noon at the club house at which time
reports of committees and Of the
President, Mrs. Howell A.. Davis, were
made. The report of Mrs. Davis was
one of the most comprehensive ever
made at the club, covering, as it does,
one of the clubs most successful years.
Her report, in full, follows:
October 9Th, 1920, brought an An
nual Homecoming Day, and about
eighty-five of us responded to the call
for renewed effort, estimating our
selves fortunate indeed Ito have a
number of past presidents with us.
In their allotted two minutes many
words of cherry advice, encourage
ment and helpful suggestions were
given. Then, under the capable sub
chairman, Mrs. Henly, the Social
Committee took charge, giving US, as
usual, an extremely good time and
furnishing an excellent musical pro-
gram.
Under Mrs. Mann the Library Com
mittee has given us consistently good
work, and special mention must be
made of the excellent and much ap-
preciated work of Mrs. Mcqueen in
the Bible study.
Mrs. Corcoran, our efficient Musi-
cal Chairman, has given us many
treatst among them Mrs. Stillman
Kelly, but unfortunately owing to the
condition of the piano we were not
able to enjoy to its greatest extent
the fine program rendered.
The Political Science Department,
under the able management of Mrs.
George WEIGH, has had a strenuous
year, but have met splendidly all of
the demands on their time and atten-
ton, and never in the history of the
Club has this branch of work been
as heavy and diversified
During the past year Mrs. Van
Horne, our Civic Leader, has given
much time and thought to the subject
and has unfailingly given us of her
best in this most complicated and far
reaching subject. Civics seem to re-
semble the Octopus with its many
esms, among one of which was the
X operation with the Community
Christmas Tree; also Our newly Or
ganized Community Service. In ad-
dition to the work done by the Civic
Department, the Club has also special
representation on this council.
Among the many branches of work
for the year the Home Economic De-
partment, under the supervision of
Miss Sipprell, has had an extremely
successful year, and the Club feels
much repaid for time and money
spent in aiding this work throughout
the state. Miss Sipprell has very de-
cidedly put Putnam county, and in
cidentally Palatka, on the map by
her untiring efforts and all the bene-
fits to our locality means a gain for
us in all ways.
Mrs. Collins has given much time
and hard work to the Child Welfare
Work, both in giving US extremely
good programs and attending to the
extremely heavy legislative work
that the awakening of interest on this
subject has produced. Mrs. Collins
has arranged for a visit from Cho,
Cho, the Health Clown, and much
pleasure is anticipated from his
visit.
The Social Committee, under the
management of Mrs. Henly, has Civ.
en- us many pleasant times, that the
memory of this year will be with us
for some time to come.
The Hospitality Committee is a new
but extremely pleasant branch of oul
household machinery, and thanks are
