Civic Club

The Civic Club listened to a talk by John Hooper, president of the Canadian and American Tourist Associations, at their monthly meet ing last Saturday afternoon, follow ing the business session. MT. Hoop CT spoke principally of the work which is being undertaken by the women in the various towns of Southeastern Alaska in connection with the tourist business and he praised the spirit of cooperation which is apparent in Wrangell.
 Election of officers which was postponed from the May meeting re- suited in the election of Mrs. M. o. Johnson as president, Mrs. R. J. Diven, vice-president, Mrs. J. w. Pritchett, corresponding secretary and Mrs. E. M. Campbell, treasurer. Mrs. E. Lyons was reelected re- cording secretary. Mrs. Wm. Pat terson was appointed to succeed Mrs. Johnson as member of the Li- brary Board.
 After due deliberation and dis cussion, the Women's Council which was organized here last year, has merged with the Civic Club to avoid duplication of activities and be- cause of the fact that the same group of women belonged to both organizations. Three former off cers of the Council were elected to office in the Civic Club on Saturday end the various standing commit tees of the Council were re-appoint- ed to act for the Civic Club. For some time the Civic Club has con- fined it's activities to the up-keep of the library, an undertaking which has met with great success and which will not be neglected in the future, but itwas generally felt that the large membership of the Civic Club makes it possible for that or ganization to do whatever the Council could do with the approval of the various units whose delegates constituted the Council.
