An interesting meeting of the
Woman's Club was held Monday,
Nov. l. The responses for the roll
call, "A First-Aid Remedy" were in
teresting and instructive. The Eng
lish lesson was postponed to allow
more time for the program, which
was arranged by the home economics
committee. Mrs. Alice Bassett, pub
lie health nurse for Hancock county,
gave an interesting talk on first-ald
remedies. Mrs. Bassett made fine
impression by the manner in which
she handled her subject and brought
to her hearers the simple manner in
which first aid may be rendered.
While the meeting was semi-publlc,
it is regretted that even larger
number could not have availed
themselves of this privilege. This
was followed by round table dis
cussion, during which the hostesses
served refreshments. At former
meeting the club voted to send $40
to the Near East relief fund.
