teacher Nell Carted. There are
five members in the club.
lronside school has two little
girls taking sewing. Miss Mary Lo-
cey is helping the girls there.
In several other places there are
application cards out to one member.
Some OF the schools are so small that
they do not have enough children of
club age to make standard club.
so they become non-standard club
members and compete just the same
as tho there were five or more of
them.
That n great deal of interest is
being shown in club work this year
is shown by the fact that people are
willing TO act as local leaders, upon
being asked for the first thine. In
only two communities so far have
local leaders been hard to find.
