The Libby Woman's club had its
regular meeting in the community room
of the new court house on Tuesday af-
ternoon, Feb. 8. The theme OF the
meeting was Harmony in the Home"
and Mrs. Lloyd Hunter, in charge, pre-
pared an unusually interesting program.
The usual business meeting was held
first, and it was announced that this
district is to have the opportunity to
select some worthy young person to
receive scholarship loan, sponsored
by the State Federation Of Clubs. Mrs.
A A. Wood, club president, asked that
anyone knowing of interested or de-
serving students make the proper rec
concentrations to the club.
Reports from various standing COM
mittee chairWomen brought forth sail
ent and pertinent facts on timely topics.
Mrs. Klehm, American Homes, called
attention to essentials for Harmony in
the Home" Mrs. Orr, Fine Arts, spoke
Of the proposed legislation looking to-
ward the acceptance by the American
government of the offer made by An
drew Mellon to give us a national art
gallery The collection includes at least
10 fine pieces of art which represent a
value OF between fifty and hundred
million dollars The building to house
it will cost between eight and nine mil
lion, and an endowment fund will be
made possible which will take care of
most of the upkeep expense.
Mrs. Curtis, international Relations,
told the club it was not so much
matter of what to say on this subject,
but more what might be left unsaid,
since international affairs are moving
so swiftly and the implications are 50
vast. She suggested that we watch var
ious magazines for comprehensive dis
calssions Of these things and especially
called attention to an article in late
Liberty Magazine explaining the alb
diction of King Edward and its political
implications. She also spoke of the
death of Elihu Root, giving brief re-
sumo of his great influence and ability
in national affairs, as well as to give
brief review of an article in the last
American on Trader Hull" which
brought<out the great diplomatic skill
and foresight of Cordell Hull in making
treaties in trade.
On special committees, Mrs. ]. M.
Cairns gave most comprehensive and
interesting report on the conditions and
conduct of our local Jail, bringing to
the attention of the club many things
that were not generally known. She
commended the local officials and
voiced her appreciation for the splendid
cooperation given her and her commit
tee during their survey. Martin Neils
then talked to the club about Safety
in Driving, and exhibited thorough
and interesting knowledge of his sub
ject, remarking that only by constant
instruction can we hope to overcome
many of the most constant hazards.
At the close of the business meeting
the club was first entertained by Miss
McCannons sixth grade pupils, with
two excellent numbers from the Sing
ing Choir" which were followed by
three selections by the Speaking
Choir" given to illustrate the new art
which is being developed The children
were divided into groups of similar
voice to give emphasis to the inter-
probation and they read their selections
