The Winslow mail., 1926-09-17

Club women the first of which was
that an invitation be extended the
University of Arizona Glee Club, to
give one of their entertaining con-
certs here on December 9th. The
Club was heartily in favor of this
move, and inasmuch as WinslowiteS
have not hitherto had the privilege
of hearing these singers, it is ex-
pected that they will be welcomed
on their first visit by capacity
house.
The second, a pleasant surprise,
was the offer of Mr.. and Mrs. j. L.
Sweeney of a lot to be used as some
later date for Club House. Two
lots, described by Mrs. Sweeney as
being in Sweeney Heights, one at
the corner of Perry and Elm and
the other at the corner of Cherry
and Campbell are fifty feet by one
hundred and forty feet, and the
Club if it accepts, may have the
choice of either. A committee was
appoined by the president to take
up the mater more fully and to re-
port at the next Club meeting.
Following the announcement
that a $4,000 prize would be award
ed the Woman's Club in Arizona
having the largest percentage of
members at the polls on September
Z, the local Club made a strenuous
effort to get all members out, but
due to various reasons, records re-
ported upon last Friday showed
that out of a total membership of
62, so of whom are active and as
sociate, only 46 voted. Due to the
fact that nine were out of town,
one i'll, two not eligible, two not
registered and two not able to vote,
the percentage was brought down
to 76 percent.
In a brief address to the club
members. President Mrs. G. H.
Madden outlined her three "hob-
bies," stating the first was Club
House, the second Municipal
Swimming Pool, which it has been
estima ted will cost about $4,000.
She urged that the matter be TAX
en- up and an investigation be made
to ascertain just how the club
could raise the fund, to build
houses and install other necessi-
ties for the proposed pool. The
third "hobby" she stated was that
sometime during the club year, an
invitation be extended the Holbrook
Womans' Club to pay the local or
ganization visit.
The business session was closed
with the roll call, answered by the
payment of dues.
Mrs. James Day, Jr., chairman of
the Music Section, had very en-
tertaining an obstructive Cadman
program arranged. Mrs. William
Hessell sang "In the Land of the
Sky Blue Waters" by Cadman.
Mrs. Ed Matthews gave a brief but
interesting biography of the COM
poser's life and works, bringing out
the fact that the inspiration for
number of the composers most
beautiful composition were gained
from the Grand Canyon of Arizona.
Miss Jane Day, in vocal solo,
gave the members another of Cad
mans favorites, 81 Have a Secret"
Mrs. Bruce Matthie, dressed in
Indian costume, closed the program
with the rendition of "The Moon
Drops Low" and "The Tunder
Birds Come from the Cedars."
Light refreshments were served.
