The annual * meeting of the

of making up a program for the
get.eral meeting which will be

ember.
As toastm aster for the annual

being made to have Dr. Bruce
Baxter of W illamette university
Come as banquet speaker.
C. M. Evans, director of the

Moro Woman’s Club
Holds First Meeting
The Moro Woman’s Club held
its first meeting of the year, F ri
day, October 6th, with the new
president, Mrs. Carroll Sayrs pre
siding, and Mrs. Jam es Kenny
acting as secretary.
The new club programs for the
year were on hand and eagerly
scanned by the members, each one
being anxious to know ju st where
and when she was to take her
place in the years work.
Mrs. R. G. Cunliff gave a brief
explanation of the program for
the year. As Mrs. Bernard M artin
who was director for the day, had
gone on a vacation, Mrs. Cunliffe
directed the program , which con
sisted of a very interesting and
pleasing talk 'by Mi's. Ramsey on
her trip to Kansas and Oklahoma.
She related many humorous inci
dents as well as a description of a
visit to her childhood home.
Miss Barbara Leisz gaVe a most
instructive talk on “ Essentials of
an Oral Book Review.” This was
of interest to the club women as
there are to be a number of book
reviews given in the future, and
the 4 essentials she gave and the
contrasts between the types of
reviews will be a help to that mem
ber “ victim.’’ and, last an account
,by Mrs. Viggo Haufelt, of their
trip to New York and back last
spring. Although not all fo rtu
nate enough to take a trip, its
a pleasure to listen to the vivid
description of those who have, and
ju st relax and let ones imagination
wander a wee «bit.
The Club, being sponsors of the
Girl Scout troop in Moro, voted
to pay a fee of $5.00 to the nation
al organization.
A local troop committee was ap
pointed by Mrs. H. B. Pinkerton,
Troop Leader. • The committee
^chosen from club members is as
follows: Mrs. G. A. Hanson, Mrs.
C. L. Poley, and Mrs. M. M.
Oveson.
On Saturday, October 21 the
4th District club convention will
be held in The Dalles. Registra
