1's Club Notes

Fully a hundred members and
guests we're present at the annual
meetir.e of the Woman's Club May
5th to enjoy the regular work and
program. as well as the beautiful dis
play of hand craft done by the men,
beers of the class in interior decora-
ton.
Mrs S. G. Pryor, Jr., presided in
the absence of Mrs. Kicker, and after
the reading of the collect reports
from officers and committee chair
men were given, all responded ex-
cent two, and these reports were so
interesting that one would like to
give them in full.
The Treasurer's report showed
over $4,000 on hand, and that the
receipts during the year have been
more than $4,000. The work done
by the Civic, Education and Public
Welfare departments, especially the
divisions of Home Economics, Civics
and Highway has been such as to
show immediate results, while the
work of others will show brighter as
the years go by.
Messages to the Club from Mrs.
Kicker and Mrs. l.. A. Turner were
read
A committee of five-Mesdame
r. E. Lee, C. l.. Saunders, A. H. Dem
mark, Jack Mayes and J. E. Turner
was appointed to assist the Chamber
of Commerce and Kiwanis Club in
arrangements for a Fourth of July
celebration.
Something quite new was brought
forth--a Nuisance Committee"-to
present public grievances to the
Mayor and Council. Mrs. Manning
had first called attention to the need
of better supervision of alleys and
streets, and Mrs. Dickey to the an
noyance of siren calls and whistles
so early in the morning. Another
then said that boys on bicycles on
the sidewalks were greater menace
to safety than the other things. The
wanton destruction of song birds was
also brought before the Club.
Mrs. Pryor appointed committee,
which, at Mrs Gelders suggestion,
was called Nuisance Committee"
to present all these things to the
Mayor and Council, and try to rid
our fair city of all and sundry an
noyances. Mesdames Manning, Bus
sell and Woodham were appointed,
and it is hoped that all members of
the Club will aid them in every way
possible.
Mesdames S. Y. Young and Sam
Hull were elected to membership.
Mrs. R. H. Mckay was elected dele
gate to the Biennial Federation to
be held at Atlantic City, with Mrs.
A. w. Kirkland alternate.
Grandmother's Day will be OBJ
served May 28th. Mrs. Fitzpatrick
of Atlanta and Mrs. Sheldon of Alb
beville will be special guests of hon
or, and Mrs. Sheldon will write
poem specially for the occasion.
Mrs. Lon Dickey gave very glow
ing account of the benefits that she,
personally, had received from the |
lessons under Miss Whitehead and |
Mrs. r. f. Lee most interesting
"reminiscences of the meeting at Au-
gusta.
The music was real treat-two |
vocal solos by Mrs. Lobinger-"There |
Is Ever A Song Some Where, My |
Dear" and "On the Shore" and an
instrumental duet by Mesdames Har-
vey Mathis and Allen Garden-"Poet |
and Peasant"
The membership at the beginning
of the year was 124 and rs new
members have been added. These
new members served ice cream and
lady fingers in the tea room during
the social half hour. Mrs. Reason
Whitley was chairman of this social
committee.
May the coming year be as pros
porous and profitable as the past, and
may many more who desire the best
things for themselves and their chill
dren become members.
