A BOUQUET FOR SENATOR cRos.

Mr.. J.. E. Wotthington, Of the Lake
Wales Highlander. who represented a
number of newspapers at Tallahassee
during the recent session of the legis-
lathre pays Senator Crosby of this dis
trict the following compliment:
One of the active worth while men
of the session just closed was Senator
w. j. Crosby of Citra, representing
Marion and Sumter counties in the
Twentieth district. Senator Crosby
is the type of man who does most OF
his work in the committees, and does
not take up much time on the floor OF
the senate. but nevertheless it is
fact that he is well able to take care
of himself in debate and handles his
side of case to good advantage. He
was in charge of the search and seizure
act and of other good legislatin DUR
ing the session just closed. Senator
Crosby's SPECIAL interest was in good
roads, the schools and in educational
work generally. He was an active
member of the house before coming
to the senate. and is adjudged one or
the best men in ether branch of the
1921. His many friends in Tallahas-
see hope that he viii decide to return
to the senate for another term, and
believe he would be in line for honors
by reason of his wide acquaintance if
he were to return.

The Ocala Woman's Club has also
had its share of influence in the
legislative work of the state. 1t work
ed faithfully for the bond issce that
made possible our new school build

and also for the Improvement of con-
ditions of the boys school at Marian
ma.

feature of our club work from the
beginning.
For many years our club has main
tanned study classes, including Amel-
lean History, American Literature,
Literature, English poets, Southern
poets, Shakespeare, The B. Bile as liter
ataure, Florida History, and French.
1t has conducted several municipal
Christmas trees. several Flower Fetes,
and May-day Pageant 1t establish
ed and continues the supervision of a
municipal Rest Room, that for neat
ness. convenience and sanitary con-
dition will compare favorably with
those of large cities For this the
City provides the necessary funds.
For number of years it conducted
an annual Cleanup Week, and was
instrumental fin placing the trash
cans about the business part of the
city, Ocala being the first city in the
state to take up that work, and it
also presented the High School fine
piano. planetarium, dishes for the
domestic science department, and
playground apparatus for the inter-
mediate departments.
Our club takes an especial interest
in the Girls Industrial School and has
donated several hundred dollars to
the Children's Home Society Of Jack
sonville. Club members have dis
tr buted thousands of magazines to
people in rural districts, and has sent
two women from country homes to
take short course in Home Econom-
les at the Woman's College in Talla-
hassee. Through the Clubs influence
the Girls Canning Club work was
started in our county in 1913 and one
of our club members was elected as
agent. This work has broadened INTO
the present County Demonstration
work, with its wonderful benefits to
the country people. A number of
Better Babies contests have been
conducted, and the selling of Red
Cross SaeIs is an annual feature OF
club work
Several years ago the club secured
from the city the use of a Ia acre
tract of land TO be developed into a
park. This was an immense under
taking that will require many years
to complete, but splendid work has
already been done and much more is
under way
An important branch of the work
that will be appreciated more and
more as the years go by has been the
planting of trees on the Silver
Springs drive.
Among the social affairs for the
purpose of raising funds We mention
the following: Cycle Teas, Made-in-
Marion Banquet and Lawn Fete.
In cultural way we have recently
had series of very valuable art
classes.
The beginning of our Club year
1916 was one OF the saddest periods
in our history.

History Of the ocaia Woman's Club
Probably the largest and most in,
fuential organization of women IN
America is the National Federation of
Women's Clubs. At first Womens'
clubs we're mostly literary societies,
but an increasing number of them
stand for civic Improvement, rather
than self culture alone.
The Ocala Woman's Club was or
ganized in 1909. It was a direct out
growth OF the Civic League, with a
large, enthusiastic membership from
the beginning. influential in every
thing that makes for progress. Our
cub was organized by Mrs.. William
Hooker. who became its first prest-
dent, which Office she held for three
years. resigning to become president
Of the State Federation in 1912
ppon Mrs. Hocker's resignation her
first vice-president, Mrs. Jack Camp,
took over the responsibility, handing
+ On to Mrs. c. r. Tydings, and she
q Mrs R. A Burford. During the first
years Of its existance. the club made
the first successful attempt to arouse
public sentiment for better sanitary
ana health conditions that with the
cocperation Of local physicians, made
possible some initial steps towards
much needed improvefents in civic
sanitation.

uon, our club entertained the state

WILSON

There will be begun in Wilson in

Christian Association building. This
drive will be in the hands of prom
inent and active men with a vision
of the future possibilities for the
town along the lines of character
building, and it will be under the act
i've supervision OF an Organization
Committee fappointed by the Presi-
dent OF the Y. NJ. c. A.
It would hardly seem necessary to
comment upon the needs Of a perman-
|ent organization in Wilson. We have
had the Community Y. NJ. G. A. in
Wilson for several years, and the
writer has made it his business to in
vestigate the grade of work done
with an entirely inadequate equip
ment. Under handicaps of an almost
nature the work has
progressed by leaps and bounds, and
only the future can disclose the great
amount of real good that has been
But the time has now
arrived when the organization needs
larger quarters, adequate equipment
and an enlarged personnel. With
scarcely an exception public opinion
favors the newer and larger enter
prise: all feel the need for it; none
can doubt the wisdom of the attempt; ;
and the enterprise must succeed.
There are hundreds of young men
in the city, not natives and without
family ties, who live in lodgings and
who have little opportunity for the
right sort of moral .and social inter-
course. There is large transient ele-
ment greatly in need of the guidance
and help that can be rendered by a
permanent Y. NJ. c.. A. program.
There is still larger group of per-
