of his section will be deserted

The Second Year Book of the Ma
rietta Woman's Club is just off the
press and contains Is pages of excel
lently prepared information concern
ing the past years activities of the
Club. The achievements recorded in
the History section of the booklet
would be more than a credit to anv
woman'S organization in the country
and proves conclusively that no other
body in Marietta is responsible for .
greater amount of constructive and
valuable work along general limo
and OF civic betterment in particular
In brief the accomplishments Of
the club from September of last wear
to September of this year are &c
follows: DIS
"A community Christmas Tree was
hea IN the park and bags of cand
and fruit given to the children. Twer
weight needy families were giver
Christmas baskets and excellent work
was done in regard to the sale of
antl-tuberculosis seal.
The Board of Health has been
greatly helped in its activities by the
Welfare committee. During Child
Welfare Week 284 babies were ex-
amined. Studies were made and lee
lures heard on Child Hygiene.
The care of the city park and depot,
plot has been undertaken by the Civ
&c section of the club and a man hired
for months to look after this work.
Registration was carried out by the
members for state and county cleo
tlons and alth0 the provisions of the
city charter made it impossible for
them to vote in the city elections they
very materially aided in passing the
bond issue for the paving of the city
streets.
The committee on Pubic Safety has
been largely instrumental in getting
the NJ, G. & st. L. Railway to agree
to install "wig wag" system at the
street crossings and the installing of
trial unit at Buffers.
The greater enforcement of the
prohibition law and the speed law on
the part of the mayor and council
was brought about largely through
the constant urging of the club.
Contributions were made out of
the clubs funds as follows: Marine
Monument, $500; Endowment fund
of the Tallulah Falls school, $1,000;
Civic section work, $4,000; Clarke
Library, $4,000.
Many other interesting achieve
ments aong the line of art and litera-
ture and enlightening lectures for the
betterment of both the members of
he club and he general public stand
to the credit of the club.
The following are the officers OF
the club for 192O-1921: President,
Mrs, |. A. White; Vice President,
Miss Louise Schilling;q Rec. Sec. Mrs
