Mrs. j.. F. Peterson announced that
Mrs. R. H. Fairfield, the president of
the Women's Federated clubs of the
tenth district, had suggested that it
might be well for some village in the
northern section Of the district to Of
fer to entertain the representatives of
the clubs at the annual convention in
1923. The matter was discussed and
the members present appeared to be in
favor of extending the invitation. The
only reason for any hesitation on the
part of the club would be the lack Of
hotel facilities in Princeton. A COM
mittee was appointed to confer with
the Commercial club and ascertain the
opinion of the members of that or
ganization in regard to the advisable
ty of seeking to make Princeton the
convention city in 1923. It was the
unanimous sentiment of the CONNER
cial club that the people of Princeton
could successfully handle such con-
vention and the members agreed to
assist in every way possible. There
will be special meeting of the Civic
Betterment club next Monday after
noon at three o'clock to finally decide
the question.
