8 THE club year draws to a, close
one department of Its work begins
to take on Its greatest activity,
namely, the calendar, or 'program,
;y for tn coming year. This U ths
work of ths few faithful ones, ;who will
pare hours and hoursfron their vaca
tion season that others may have a
feast, ready prepared, for,; them when
Ihe club again opens In ths fall;" It
Is ' the work of this committee which
largely determines the success or .failure
of the next club year. It Is a. tank
that requires Infinite patience and good
judgment to perform, for, the taste of
every member' must . be considered to
Koma xtent, and the program must be
hotf. entertaining and Instructive, and
along line laid down in the constitu
tion, and after all this Is done, the
ommlttee must stand ready to receive
the severest criticism, not only of the
election of topic and 'speaker, but of
any failure that may occur, at any. time,
-to carry out the plans that were made
months before. - ,
With the difficulty staring It In the
face, it is a. wonder that a good calen
dar committee is ever found, but-women
always stand ready to assume the bur
den and at this season of the year, all
ovr the land, the work of program J
making is going on, ana simoi aauy
conies the question. What do you con
, aider a good program?
"There are three classes of programs,
one for the club that 1" taking, up one
line of study, such, iof Instance, as
-Knglish literature, which requires little
more than the speakers to be arranged
for. as the topics come ready made and
need little exercise' of Judgement; the
.second if for the club that takes one
of the regular reading courses, such as
the Chautauqua or Bay View, which is
little different from the first except
that it requires closer scrutiny, to be
sure that the course Is giving you the
iest that Is to be had, and has not Irur
rledly thrown together a lot of misinfor
mation, and distortion of facts and
which does Infinite harm in its dissem
ination of unreliable Information This
is not an unheard of thing and every
club contemplating a ready prepared
course should have a calendar commit
tee well enough informed to discern a
mistake and to know whether the course
is authoritative and to be relied upon.
A course that is. Is a very good way
to beRlii club work, but originality and
individuality are always to be com
mended above the work that some one
else has thought out for you.
Then comes the third and most oirri
cult club to provide for the one tttat
has a miscellaneous program, and does
its work mainly tftrouKiioppai
In some clubs the method of allowing
the department leaders to compose tne
program committee Is adopted, but not
always with success; its g reatest flaw
being that in clubs Of this
amhiHnim women who
take advantage of this opportunity and..
wear their welcome oui i ,.uu
tertainers, by appearing again and again
on the program. .
There is an Ideal program, and while
it is slow to be established, many of the
older clubs are working toward it. It is
the program that follows out. In its
RArerPal trend, the committee work of
the state or 1" M?h aver

AND THLIR
WORK
that ths work of Mr.: Himes is appreci
ated on has but to see him among the
ftioneers on their great annual reun
on day, but only when the ages have
rolled around and the pioneers no longer
gather on -this side, will the work thitt
Mr. Himes has done for this great
northwest be- known or appreciated. But
turning to the coming pioneer reunion.
It is pleasant to know that the pre
paration for the annual banquet go on,
with.- If possible, even Wr energy
than ever Before. This is the- work of
Woman's Auxiliary to the Pioneer so
ciety. -
The banquet was Instituted or rather
added as a feature, many years ago
by a - few motherly women who, no
doubt, remembered the cheer and com
fort that was found In those long-ago-days
when neighbors gathered to dis
cuss the building of a new country,
around the table where good-will was
often more abundant than food. They
knew what barriers melted away wtien
bread was broken together and with the
same spirit that prompted the sharing
of- the scanty meal a half century ago,
they now set. forth of their abundance,
a- richer feast perhaps, but no mora
wnlenme than tri old davs. -
To omit the "banquet would take from
the reunion one of Its most enjoyable
and unique features, and deprive Ore
gon 'of the privilege of, an event that
cannot be duplicated In any other state
in tne union. - ,
To seat and feed from 1400 to 1800
people, at beautifully appointed tables,
presided over by women of wealth and
social' position, to have' these tables
loaded with good things to sat. to
shower roses upon this multitude of
guests, Is no small task, and It speaks
volumes to women s eriioiency m or
f:aniiation that this enormous under
akin' is always carried through with
out a hitch to mar its beauty, or a
momenta delay to cause annoyance;
every thing goes like clock work and
neves with military precision.
At the head of this work, for many
vears. has stood - Mrs. c. M. cart
wright the inspiration and venerated
director of it all.
Mrs. Cartwrights' reputation for de
votion and work for the pioneers Is
state wide and one of the most beauti
ful slrhts of the whole day is to sen
the loving tribute that is accorded her
as she stands at the entrance to the
banquet hall greeting and clasping th
hand or eaon one as iney enier.
Many and faithful are her co-workers,
and the younger generation may count
themselves blessed that so many of the
dear old faces tarry with them yet.

announcement of the decision of the
Oregon commission concerning the State
Federation of Woman's dubs and their
social plans for the A.-Y.-P.; exposition
is indeed a great surprise.. That the
work and excellent plans you had
worked out in preparation for-the va
rious social days seem not to be appre
ciated by the commission is almost un
believable. . I don understand why the
Oresron commission should so construe
your plans as not to consider them for
the benefit . of the state and clearly
within the provisions of th law.
1 very much regret that, you hava had
so much work and worry and have It
of no avail in this very disappointing
way. Our chamber of commerce had
heartily approved of our plans for
Klamath day and thought it one of the
best means 'Of. advertising our resources
and county. . Of course. I am personally
disappointed but wish to again thank
you for tny appointment and- I hope I
may at some time have the pleasure of
meeting the officers and members of the

Chartering a fine steam launch which

and ths women attracted the attention
of members on the terrace by singing
the "Marseillaise." Then they fired
from the launch a broadside of rockets,
which burst above the terrace, and sent
a shower of suffrage leaflets fluttering
down over the watching memoers.
