Remodel Hall What is now the Talent City hall, where the club meets, was at first a two room schoolhouse. Through out the years the organization gradually converted the build ing into a one-room hall. About 1920, during Mrs. L. O. Penland's term as presi dent, rooms at the back were added for use as a kitchen, etc., and a stage was built. The Talent clubwomen are proud of the fact that they organized the first public li brary and paid the wages of the librarian until the library was made a part of the county system. Mrs. Lowe of the club was the first Camp Fire Girls leader in the district and was instrumental in having the group sponsor the Camp Fire movement. For several years Mrs. Lowe took her girls camping at a spot up Wagner creek which she had leased from the government. In time the Federation took over the sponsorship of the camp, known as Ya Ie Wah Noah, and it is still used by the club women and Camp Fire Girls. CFG members or Blue Birds may spend in days at the camp for $7, and last year 41 girls were at the camp. Mrs. Lowe is assisted by Mrs. Burnett, Mrs. Christian and other members. Insurance fees are covered by the Rogue council of Camp Fire Girls; the Talent club gives camp- ships. Members of Talent Feder ated Woman's club have given many hours of volunteer work for the Jackson county chap ter, American Red Cross, and another civic project is the folding of thousands of band ages for the Jackson County unit, American Cancer so ciety. The wumon also have a Christmas project. For many years they sponsored an in door tree and treats for chil dren of the community, and later the outdoor community tree and a program of music for the holidays, in this effort they are assisted by the Tal ent Lions club. In 1950 and 1952 the wom en sponsored a jamboree to raise funds for building shel ters at the camp; they have built tennis courts and bought playground equipment. Looking back over the busy years, the Talent women have decided that limes change but problems don't. The club still worries about money-making projects, how to plan inter esting programs for meetings and where to find good speak ers who will help them to keep up with the world. They still are working to improve the club, their homes and the Talent community.
