Topic of Discussion
MEMS CIVIC CLUB SHOWS SEN
TiMENT IN FAVOR OF
IMMEDIATE ACTION

The Tuesday noon meeting of the
Mems Civic Club registered an in
creased attendance, and manifested
the popularity of the noon hour. Sew
eral new members were enrolled and
much interest evinced in the Club
and in it's undertakings.
A lunch both substantial and ap
petizing was furnished by Mesdames
Ben Strong and John Frank. After
which President Wiegand announced
that the expected speaker was unable
to come, and threw the meeting open
for discussion of any matter that mem
bers might wish to bring before it..
Mr.. Chas. Johnston was called upon
to tell of the American Legion EndOW
ment Campaign, which is to provide
a much needed fund to care for &
abled veterans and the orphans of
veterans Mr. Emmons, President of
the Village, was then called upon to
state Ibis policy and that Of the board
relative to the Improvement of the
village streets, Mr.. Emmons stated
that it is the intention of the village
to gravel twelve blocks of our streets,
and that this could be done, he be
lieved without laying upon the CHI
zens any heavier burdens than they
had been carrying.
Mr. Fred Strong wanted to know
if there was any good reason why the
city should not proceed at once with
paving. Mr. Emmons called the atten
ton of the Club to the fact that the
money appropriated for that purpose
would be forfeited if something was
not done. Considerable discussion fol
lowed as to the best time to do the
paving; and the sentiment appeared
to be practically unanimous in favor
of immediate action. 1t was pointed
out that the conduits for the proposed
White Way could be laid beneath the
sidewalks ready for use when the vii
lage is prepared to take up that mat
ter
The question of parking also came
up for discussion. Mr.. Emmons de
clared that he had paced off streets
in Rhinelander and in Milwaukee and
found many of them narrower than
Wall Street. He found in these cities
cars were compelled to park parallel
to the curb with three feet between
cars The suggestion was thought a
good one and met with general appro
VAL while there were many expires
sions that something should be done
to remedy the present unsatisfactory
conditions.

A New York lady ran a baby farm.
The babies died rapidly, especially if
their board bills were not paid. One
poor infant dug up after burial had a
fractured skull. The rate of mortality
was horrible.
If anybody kept such a farm for
baby dogs or cats, the Cruelty to Ami
