its regular meeting on Tuesday af
ternoon, with the president in thu
chair. The club sang the club sons
which was followed by the Lords

Thistlewood gave report on the
Milford luncheon which was neld on

planned for Tuesday evening in the
\, Century Club building at which time
Nthe school building project will be
discussed. The nearby rural districts
VIII be invited to attend this meet
ing and get the first hand informa-
ton as to just what is expected of
each district The local school
board will serve a banquet to their
guests. Prof. Messner is very anx-
ious that the local community as
well as the rural districts will avail
themselves of this opportunity At
ter several minor matters were TAX
en- up, the program was turned over
to the chairman of the day, Mrs. G.
S. Harrington, Mrs. A. w. Spurry
and Mrs. Ella Wilson. The club was
most fortunate in having Miss Preck,
State Supervisor of Home Economics
In a n sfnr1 toll
along her line of work, illustrating
by placardS as she gave the different
phases of thought. A unique part of
the program was given by girls from
the Home Economics class of our
high school under the supervision of
Miss Breck. The girls demonstrated
different phases of their work, using
four tables, two girls at each table.
At the conclusion of the program,
the girls served tea, delicious cakes
and candy. Tuesdays program was
one of value to home makers and it
is regretted that the inclement wea-
Their kept many from enjoying this
instructive and delightful hour, al
though there WAS quite goodly
number present.
