After the demonstration, several members cf the club gave a little playlet, ‘■Grandmother’s Treasure Chest”. One thing we are proud to report at this meeting was that Mrs. Frank Pinson brought eight books to the club to be distributed among club members. She ex pressed her desire of a circulating library being started in the club. All these books were by a well known author whose writings are elevating and uplifting. The fac that this was National Book Week made Mrs. Pinson’s contribution more significant. It is things lik: this that will help to eventually make this community the kind of community we’d like it to be. 1 will require co-operation, unsel fishness and lots of work but with Miss Harvey’s help we hope to ac complish lots in the next year o: two.
