During the month of May, nearly
every stage of club work from or
ganization to achievement day was
being carried on, according to the
monthly report of H. R. Wellman,
county club leader. May completes
the organization work with the pos
sible exception of canning club.
Four girls at Bonita have organ
lied Sewing club. Violet Lees,
who will also take up Division II
work, will be the local leader. This
club will enjoy the singular advan-
tage of having state winner in
sewing for local leader. Miss Lees,
1t will be remembered, won first
prize at the state fair in Division 1,
sewing in 1920.
There has been great deal of
favorable discussion regarding the
organization of a Canning club at
Riverdale, but no definite steps have
yet been taken. 1t seems to be the
opinion Of several mothers, since
reading about the poisoned family
that all canned vegetables are pois-
onous or at least dangerous.

their final report at the office.
