New Officers Take Charge Of Civic League The Civic League held its first spring meeting last Thursday in the Community hall with an ex cellent attendance and a good program, which was furnished by the sextet from the High school, with the addition of some accom panists, all of w r hom performed creditably. Mrs. Robert Wright, who was present at the meeting and also heard them sing at the recent Civil War Centennial at Charleston, stated that the New berry group of singers made quite a hit during this Centennial cel ebration. The officers who had been elect-' ed to assume office in May had been asked to take over the aff airs of the League in April, on account of the resignation of Mrs. T. P. Crooks as president. At this meeting they conducted the program with Hal Kohn as pres ident, Mrs. R. L. Baker as first vice president, Mrs. Price Pad gett as second vice president, and Mrs. Jackson Bowers, secretary. These officers will be assisted by an executive committee. Among the interesting matters brought befoi'e the meeting, and voted on, was the decision to hold an annual banquet to which mem bers would be permitted to bring guests. It was unanimously voted that at future regular meetings’ no refreshments would be, served. Since this is the 20th anniver sary of the opening of the Mar garet Hunter park the suggestion was readily accepted that an ef fort be made to celebrate this ev ent during the remainder of this year. It is planned to hold a con cert monthly at the park, with various musical organizations in vited to take part. The League is conscious of the fact that not enough activities take place at this beautiful area, which is the handiwork of the League. Sug gestions, from anyone will be most welcome, as to various forms of entertainment that could be given in the park. Suggestions should be mailed to the president, Route 2, Newberry or telephoned to 1000. Since no Christmas tea was held last year the members felt that some type of celebration should be held during this Christmas Season. They will try and work out a Tea, or some form of event, with the garden clubs and other interested persons. v Officers and members of the executive committee will meet with the city council at an early date to discuss the need for a tree commission for the city and will give the members of council their ideas regarding this. Mrs. Padgett reported that the Civic League had planted the Boundary street side of the South Carolina Employment office and her report showed that some time in the fall the League will assist in planting ivy on the terrace, on the College street side. The need of more men as mem bers was discussed and all were in agreement that it would be well to solicit more memberships from interested men. Steps were taken along this line, among which was the new dual membership which permits a woman member to enroll her husband for the joint dues of $3 per year. It was the opinion of everyone that the Civic League should con tinue to work hand in hand with the garden clubs of Newberry. In order to more closely coordinate the activitties of both organiza tions it was decided to ask the president of the garden club council to serve as an ex-officio member of the executive com mittee of the League. Mrs. Emmett Nichols who has just meen elected president of the garden club council was present. Considerable interest was evid enced by those who attended this meeting. The May meeting will be held on the 23rd at Community Hall at 4 p.m. In addition to members, all interested persons are invited. MILLS CLINIC PATIENTS Mrs. Mildred Haltiwanger, New berry.
