N. Cooke. A short business meeting was held and then turned over to the en tertainment committee. A reading was given by Joy Armstrong written by Daisy Ov erlander on camp life and was very amusing. A study of Oregon in quiz form was very instructive and stirred up dormant cobwebs. Mrs. Cooke had prepared wood pictures cut from old magazines to represent song titles, old and new that would tax anyone’s brain. Maxene Patrick won the prize. Two guests were present, Mrs. Frank Mellow and Mrs. Chris Wendt, who at the close of the meeting were voted in as new mem bers. The club members voted $5.00 as a donation to help improve the Kerby high school grounds spon sored by the Illinois Valley Gar den Club.
