An interesting report of the annual
meeting of the club was given by the
secretary Elva G. Green. The treas
urer Mrs. Angie B. Steward gave an
encouraging report which showed the
society's finances to be in good con-
dition.

a beautiful message to the club lad
les, quoting one Of the piolfeer club
presidents of Orange, n. j., who said
Let US remember that our lives are
not ours to waste in unfruitful pleas
ures but in loving service; may we
hold as our greatest treasure the
truth that Humanity is one and that
to keep it's glorious domain regard
must be had to what each may claim
for all and all for each, freedom,
sympathy and justice"
Mrs. Ames played two piano solos
which were greatly enjoyed by all
present. Miss Alice r. Parker the
Red Cross school nurse gave in most
interesting and personal manner
some of her experiences as a school
nurse in SkOWhegan. Among the
matters mentioned by Miss Parker
were the examinations of the pupils,
the home calls and the cooperation
of the parents: right health habits;
talks given in the schools by the
nurse: health clubs and health drills
which include the handkerchief and
tooth brush drills; drinking cups,
hot lunches; improvement leagues in
the rural schools first aid boxes; and
the Junior Red Cross work. The Ia
dies were certainly much interested
in the work of Miss Parker who is
a most efficient school nurse and de-
voted to her work.
The executive board served a del
icious lunch after the close of the
program. The society voted to send
to one of its directors, Mrs. Kate w.
Turner who is seriously i'll bouquet
