Concerning Ladies' Rest Room

! The ladies' public rest room was
opened Dec. 8, 1919, by the Morgan
county federation of farm women's
clubs. At that time business men
of McConnelsville were solicited by
| a committee from the federation
and they responded generously by
donating 1922 in money and several
| pieces of furniture and other fur
nishings. The following year the
ladies decided on a plan of financing
This was done by operating a re-
! freshment stand at the fair. They
continued to do SO each year until
this fall. They not only gave their
time and labor for three days each
fall, but also contributed generously
of home made pies and pressed
chicken sandwiches which made
their stand famous for 16 years.
In former years the receipts from
the stand were sufficient to finance
the rest room, but since 1880 the
receipts were not up to par. In
later years the Civic and New Era
clubs, the Rotary club and village
council and several local oranges
and farm clubs, who do not belong
to the federation, have contributed
and by their donations have kept it
going.
The past fall the women of the
federation felt they could not con-
tinue with the stand and the result
is that they only have $25 in the
fund to continue operation. The
running expenses the past IA years
averaged $500 per year. This in
cluded rent, gas, electric, water
rent and necessary supplies. The
federation which consists of only a
small number of farm women, about
rs in number, have contributed ap-
proximately $4,000 from the fruits
Of their labor to maintain a public
rest room for the women and chill
dren Of our county. Tourists stop
ping at the rest room have been
amazed and ask how such place is
operated in a town of this size, say
ing it is far superior to rest rooms
in larger towns.
During the past II years a care
taker has been in charge, which is
an important factor for public rest
room. The caretaker receives no
salary, but the federation has pro-
vided in addition to rest rooms three
rooms for her private use, and she
pays one-third of gas and electric
bills.
During the past II years the fed
GRAFTON has held quarterly business
and report of receipts
and expenditures is made and
filed. The federation is willing to
help in some measure to maintain
and finance public rest room, but
feel it is the duty of our county and
town as whole to get behind the
and make some plan to
have the rest room permanent.
Contributions may be left with
Mrs. Mary Hammond, president, or
Mrs. Mary Mccormick, secretary.
