Members bought playground

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.
