HOPE HULL WOMEN PLAN COMMUNITY CLUR HOME

The women of the Hope Hull com munity were the first in the state to have club house of their own. Two years ago when the county built a new and modern school building, the old school house was purchased by the club women of Hope Hull and ever since that time has been used as a woman's club. The club has in- creased its membership and the old building is inadequate to fill the needs of the progressive club women in that district, so on Friday, July 4, they en- tertained at barbecue on the old school site when hundreds of visitors from miles and miles away gathered at this spot for a real old-fashioned barbecue dinner, camp stew, barbecued meats, pickles and other things that go with just such dinner.
 The proceeds from dinner will be used to remodel the club house.. A kitchenette and dining room will be added. Big, open fireplaces in the living room, wide verandahs will add to the attractiveness of the building. A circular driveway will approach the building and on either side, pergolas will be covered with roses and climbing vines. By early fall the new impOrve- ments will be completed and then the club women will entertain at a house warming, the like of which is seldom seen in that community.
