SEVENTH DISTRICT COMMUNITY CLUB

On Tuesday night last the Seventh
District Community Club held one OF
the most important, successful and de-
lightful meetings OF Its history. I'm
portant because OF the new method OF
procedure initiated in the appointment
Of a number of committees TO take care
of the interests OF the Community and
the Club; successful because of a large
attendance and the willingness TO serve
ON the part of those of whom service
was asked; and delightful because OF
an unusually rich program of enter
tainment.
The members OF the Community Club
are beginning TO feel that il Is rapidly
justifying its name. For IL Is reaching
out earnestly and energetically TO serve
the interests of all the community, and
is becoming truly representative oil the
Seventh District and exerting whole
some influence upon every part OF IT.
Our Club is still in It's Swaddling
clothes, so To speak, but IL is Iusty
infant, and as lusty infants do, IL Is
making its voice heard and its person
atty felt. Already il has two very
important accomplishments TO its credit
one, the bridging Of Mosley Run,
for which purpose one hundred dollars
lishment of High Scaocl, the first in
the County, which will be opened at
the beginning of the next school term
in the Seventh District.
II the members of our Club go on in
the harmonious corporation that has
hitherto been CHARACTERISTIC, as it grows
in aye, accompli shment and power the
Club will be discovered as q veritable
giant in our midst for the destruction
of the evil and the fostering of the good
influences of country life.
Here follows the list Of committees,

And, last but not least, Prof. Glib.
son, Supervisor of Music of the State
Department of Education, who was a

Prof. Gibson has the faculty of max
ing people sing. He trained The sold
ers in camp to- face the horrors of wal
singing, and he trained them in hos
pital to sing as cure of the awful
shock the war had proved to them
And he had our Club singing as We
never sang before. But best of all, hi
is coming to- see US again soon and u
teach us more about community sing
ing. And VIC are going To be ready
for him. We have ordered half a hun
dred song books in order to do so
Prof. Gibson has stimulated us To thu
ambition of becoming a singing com
muniiy, and if we do, look out! Their
There will then be no evil too strongly
cntrenchcd, no moss backed tradition
too deeply rutted, no selfish interes
too lovingly cherished but that upOI
our bOmbardment they must surrender
and be made subservieni to the welfar'
of our Community, our County anC
our State.
