Finishes Work

On Monday, April "a, the Woman's
home Of the retiring president, Mrs.
Pollasky. The officers acted as hos
tesses. Each member was greeted
by receiving corsage bouquet of
pink and white sweet peas. The
recording secretary, Mrs. Swigart re-
ported that twenty three meetings had
been held during the year, the main
subject Of study being Americaniza-
ton.
Immigrants Of different nations
have been considered, along with the
particular programs not bearing on
Americanization have included a study
of the Irish drama which was made
very interesting by the presentation
Of two Irish dramas given by college
girls, day on Lincoln considering
particular Drikwater's play, "Abra-
ham Lincoln" day on Washington
considering especially Percy McKayes
ballad drama Washington, a pro-
gram on The Movies, and the read
ing of an Irish story Virtues in Re
lief" Special programs have includ-
ed reception to the teachers of Alma
given at Wright Hall, Federation Day
with the Civic League members as
hostesses, splendid address by DR..
Elmer Lynn Williams of Chicago,
which was a meeting arranged by the
Civic league open to all women, a
stunt party, paper on THE Ethical
Philosophy of Robert Louis Steven
son" by Prof. Hamilton, and two open
days with musical programs. In
these programs club members have
been assisted by Mrs. Beausang, Mrs.
Rodriguez, Miss Roberts, Luella San
derhoff, Mr.. Beausang, and Mrs. Car
roll.
Reports of the treasurer and cor
responding secretary were read and
approved. Mrs. Pollasky then read
short paper dealing with the pur-
pose Of the modern Woman's Club.
She stated that a club should be pre-
eminently cultural, and that while
there is real place for phlanthropic
and civic interests in such a club thest
should not crowd out the cultural side
as developed through books, lectures
and art. She called attention to the
esponsbility for the total outcome of
this clubs activities.
Mrs. Hudson favored us with two
beautiful springtime sofas. Prof
Ditto then gave an interesting short
talk on RADIO, illustrating in various
ways the need of tuning up\instru-
ments to the proper wave length in
order to receive messages. Following
this, Prof Hamilton gave a discus
sion of the technique of the drama.
The officers then invited their
guests to retire to the dining room
for refreshments. Table decorations
were yellow candles and daffodils.
Mrs. Crooks, president elect, and Mrs.
Baker, vice-president elect, were
chosen TO pour coffee.
This meeting completed the work of
the Woman's Club for the year
1922.

Arbor Day Proclamation

Fifty years ago the State of
Nebraska instituted the obser-
vance of day set apart for tree
planting. This day was known
as Arbor Day, and it's observance
has became general throughout the
nation. Ii is day of sentiment,
reverence and faith-sentiment in
the acknowledgement of the tender
susceptibility of man toward all
the living things of the out-of
doors; reverence inspired within US
by the sturdiness of the oak, the
majesty of the pine, the beauty of
the elm and the splendor of the
leaf bearing branches Of the maple
with its seasons of changing color
and form; a well grounded faith in
the productive energy of natures
generous creative forces.
To us of Michigan, Arbor Day is
of particular significance. Time
was when our forests outshone in
splendor and magnificence those
of any other State. Today,
through the utilization Of this
natural product and the devasta-
ton wrought by forest fires, these
forests have to large extent dis
appeared, though we still have
many thousands of acres of beauti-
full forest land.
Therefore, by viture of the au-
thority vested in me as Governor
of the State of Michigan, | do
hereby designate Friday, May 5th
1922, as Arbor Day, and ! request
that exercises appropriate to the
| day be held in all our schools.
Given under my hand and the
| Great Seal Of the State this twenty
first day of April, in the year OF
our Lord, one thousand nine hun.
bred and twenty-five, and Of the
Commonwealth the eighty-siXth.
