INTERESTING MEETING
 OF WOMEN'S CIVIC CLUB

hC SiflS SloO ACAu itS AC6 oioi monthly meeting at the library Sat urday afternoon. With the addi- tion of several cash donations, it was found that the net proceeds of the card party and dance amounted to s6S55 and this amount was turned over to the treasurer. Mrs. Uhler, of the Library Board, report ed having received four popular books in excellent condition, from Mrs. Isabella Watson, former busi- ness woman of Wrangell, for the li- brary. The librarian reported that Mrs. Chambers, house guest of Mrs. Schott, had given The ConQueror by Gertrude Atherton, and that Mrs. Edwin Hofstad had selected about a dozen books from her shelves to leave for the library be- fore returning to Ketchikan. All of the books which have been re- ceived recently are being arranged on adjoining shelves where their titles may be seen by library pa irons without the trouble of going through the various classifications. The library's growth is giving im- mense satisfaction to the women who sponsored it, and the public is showing it's appreciation by a gen. erous patronage. Owing to the de- parture of Mrs. H. w. Gartley and ot Mrs. Patterson, two vacancies of the Library Board were filled by the appointment of Mrs. R. J. Diven and Mrs. F. H. Gold.
 Mrs Cochrane, chairman of the Recreation Committee, reported that enough lumber remained to make doors for the bath-houses which were erected at the beach a few months ago, and desired to know whether the Club wished to use it toward the erection of third bath house, store it for the winter or have the doors made Those present decided in favor of doors and Mrs. Gold was appointed to act with Mrs Cochrane in the matter in the absence from the city of oth. CT members of the committee.
 Owing to the lack of shelving space in the present library loca tion. it was found advisable to sor' out books that are not in demand and those of which there are sever al copies, and the Library Boart will assist the librarian in the sort ing and will arrange to sell thes' copies from time to time at nomi ual price, the proceeds to go toward the purchase of new books.
