CIVIC CLUB COMPLETES
VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR
OFFICERS RE-ELECTED
Uncle Sam Goes to Sea Again
AU of the officers of the Spring
field Civic club were re-elected Tues
day eveulug at the meeting held at
the Community hall. They are Mrs.
C. E. Wheaton, president; Mrs. Carl
Olson, vice-president; Mrs. L. K. Page,
secretary; Mrs. 1. A. Valentine, treas
urer. and Mrs A. B. V ai Valiah,
reporter.
Mrs. Wheaton and Mrs. Olson gave
reports of home demonstration meet
ings which they had attended at Junc
tion City and the members of the
club decided to invite Miss Gertrude
Show to conduct demonstrations at
two of their meetings in the future.
The first will be held on the evening
of February 10. This will be a land
scaping meeting.
The Civic club has had a very sue-
cesful year according to reports of
the various officers. They have raised
a considerable sum of money, most
of which has been expended for var
ious community enterprises, and have
taken an active port in many of the
larger events of the past year.
The outstanding achievement of the
club, as in former years, has been
the presentation of the rose show
and children's parade early in the
spring. The weather was inclement
last spring at the time the roses
were at their best so the parade,
which is usually participated in by
most of the children in the city, was
delayed until a later date.
Members of f ie clnb took active
charge of the dinner which was served
to the visiting airmen here at the
time of the Pacific Northwest Air
Tour during the summer, and have
prepared several other dinners for
meetings of the County chamber of
commerce and other organizations.
Education has also been stressed
by the club in Its programs. Some
new idea for the improvement of the
home, either inside or out. has been
incorporated in e'.ch of the lectures
given by visitors.
Two trips, one to Alaska and one
to the Hawaiian Islands, were taken
via, lantern slides and lectures, by
the members of the club at their
meetings during the fall.
