Mrs. S. H. Mckee, chairman Of the
bond committee, reported that ap-
proximately 5000 had been collected
to apply on the salary of the super
visor Of the Playground. This amount
was collected through the sale of
swimming pool bonds, redeemable in
season tickets, the number reported
being gratifying.
Through activities of the women of
the club, gift of five dozen spoons
and one dozen forks was made the
club by a large manufacturing con-
Germ, for use by the clubs using the
Community House for entertainment
purposes.
Mrs. W. C. Gray was unanimously
elected custodian of the silver, to

and use of the silver to be. procured.
from her and to be returned to her
after service.
Treasurer read report of collec-
tions and received dues paid for the
afternoon. 1t was discussed and
passed on that it is the duty of each
member delinquent with dues to
make payment regularly to the treas
urer, in order that it may be known
at all times just how much may be
expected for expenditures. Hereto
fore, it has been the custom of the
treasurer to make personal calls and
appeals for dues from members, but
the duties of the treasurer being
more than merely to collect, it is
urged that every member remit
promptly to the treasurer in future.
With membership of approximately
90, the collection in person of dues
entails much work on the chairman of
that committee.
Adopt Budget System
The budget plan was laid before the
body and discussed. 1t is the idea of
Mrs. Frank Sheffield, former presi-
dent of the Woman's club, that a
budget be adopted to care for the
club house and grounds. A budget
committee was appointed, with Miss
Emmae Borum in charge. 1t will be
the duty of this commission to see
that money is kept sufficient to pay
monthly expenses for the use of the
club house and grounds by the three
women's clubs now using them.
The Board of Education and their
invited guests are to be entertained
one evening next week by the We
mans club, assisted by the Music
Study club This meeting will be in
the nature of get-together occas-
ion, wherein will be discussed i'm
portant matters relating to the for-
ward movement of the playground.
The date will be decided upon later.
