'Ti? the gentle pitter patter Of wee feet upon the stair, The sound of children's laughter Gaily ringing through the air, The shining eyes that smile at us, Wee lips that hold a kiss , Far sweeter than the nectar That the bee froiirt flower sips;* Tis the lire's*warm welcome And the lamplight's mellow glow, friendly books and easy chairs And the folks we like to know; The love, and light ajid laughter ^hat go singing through the gloam, All telling us of peace within,' That makes a Home, a Home." ?Selected. Civic League Re-organised On Thursday afternoon a large number assembled in the auditorium of the h?gh seheol fq*' the purposo of reor aiiizatlon and electing officers for th< Civic League; The last presi1 dent, Mis. William Aner-um, who was most efficient and faithful, tendered her resignation last March, but it was not accepted. She graciously and generously held on until June when she left Camden for a two years' stay and1 since that time the League has been without a leader. The meeting was called to order by our popular mayor/flHr. C. P. DuBose, who appointed a nominating committee of seven who nominated three officers, Mrs. Carl Foster, vice-president; Mrs. William King, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. N. R. Goodale, historian. These officers were elected without opposition. The League president is to be elected at the regular meeting.
