Euterpean club, the Book club and the
Wednesday Study club of Admission are
also working to secure the cup. Mrs.
j. c. Norton of the Book club has been
appointed district chairman by the
state chairman of library extension,

resentatives of the various local clubs,
Miss Lucille Anderson, Miss Iva Cook,
Mrs. Luther Lilies and Mrs. Columbus

Mr.. Mckee in the mission field. They
will be accompanied by their little
daughter. who was born in Africa since
their last visit to Admission several
years ago.

izing and civilizing the natives, and
