We expect to increase the number of books this winter. Quite a number take advantage of the reading room. In the music room there is a piano and a Victrola.

All of these clubs hold weekly meetings. Our clubs emphasize one feature not usually found in community work, that of Bible study. Each club spends about 30 minutes in Bible study at each meeting. Another most important feature of the work is the milk station. Milk is supplied to ten babies twice a day free of cost. The Mothers' club through its various organizations is doing a really big work. Through its Civic League it is trying to make the village more beautiful and trying to make it more healthy by fighting the fly and mosquito. Clean-up days were observed in April and we are -l j. trying to make ours tne cieanesu village in the State. A tin can brigade was organized and every tin can in the village was made away with.

The mill company broke up the land for the gardens and about 90 per cent, have splendid gardens.
