1t was clearly brought out during
the discussion of the afternoon that
the Woman's Club is not a social or
ganization. 1t has as its purpose,
the promotion of education, morality,
social betterment and civic welfare.
1t is truly a Woman's Cuban or
gan zation of women working for the
betterment of the entire community.

operate with the school, to improve
the sanitary conditions of the town
and beautify it as much as possible,
to help the needy, help each other
solve the various household prob
lens and to educate ourselves along
health lines. We also plan to bring
in as many out-of-town speakers as
possible to lecture to us along the
Ines mentioned above. Plans have
also been made for interesting pro-
grams showing our needs and how to
meet them.
