Gratifying Report—Slogan is “Better
and Bigger Things for Tillamook
County.”
Inasmuch as the Women’s Civic
Improvement Club of Tillamook was
organized to do work along civic lines
in Tillamook and vicinity, the first
annual report will be of interest to all
who appreciate what an organization
of this kind may mean to a commun
ity where co-operation and unity of
interest prevail.
During the year one hundred active
and thirty-two honorary members
have been enrolled. Owing to remov
als from the city the membership is
now eighty-six active and twenty-
three honorary.
In order to enjoy the full measure
of club privileges which come from
intimate association with other or
ganizations of this nature, as well as
to share the benefits of federation,
this club joined the State Federation
of Women’s Clubs, March 30, 19*5.
and was represented by the president,
Mrs. C. J. Edwards at the State Con
ference which convened at Salem
October 25-28, 1915.
In considering the events of the
year, both failures and accomplish
ments, there is a feeling of regret that
all the aims have not been attained,
yet withal there is a sense of satisfac
tion that some service of real value
has been rendered to the community,
the state, and to humanity.
In 1907 the president of the State
Federation, Mrs. Sarah J. Evans, pro
posed that the clubs of this state en
gage in philanthropic work similar to
that being done with clubs in all parts
of the United States—namely, the
establishment of a scholorship loan
fund, the same to be raised by con
tributions from clubs throughout the
state, for the purpose of loaning mon
ey to girls desiring an education, but
who were deprived because of lack of
funds. As a result of this move nearly
$>10,000 have been loaned to ambitious
students. The last Wednesday in Jan
uary is the day designated for each
federated
club in the state to do
something to provide the yearly con
tribution for this work. The first
Community Sing was given for this
purpose and netted $21.22. In this
manner Tillamook has been able to
have a part in helping some worthy
girl to complete her education.
The Red Cross stamps which have
been sold under the direction of the
club have placed Tillamook in a posi
tion to ask for and receive aid from
the State Fund for the prevention of
tuberculosis. It is gratifying to know
that a sufferer in this community is
now receiving $10 per month for the
much needed nourishing food, and
luxuries otherwise prohibitive.
Under the direction of the Public
Health committee, Clean-up Week
was observed, a noticeable improve
ment being made all over the city.
The interest aroused in the children
in keeping clean yards and thrifty
gardens was two-fold in benefit,
making more attractive homes and de
veloping in the child a desire to work
for a definite purpose.
The Domestic Science School, con
ducted by Miss Turley, of O. A. C.,
arranged for by the educational com
mittee of the club, was valuable to
the women of the city and vicinity;
assistance in Chautauqua work and
in the entertainment of the State
Grange was appreciated; interest in
the dahlia exhibit at the National
Show in Portland did something to
ward winning the laurels which came
to Tillamook. Two evening programs
prepared for the County Fair were
some help to that very worthy enter
prise.
Under the d.rection of the City
Beautiful committee, funds have been
raised for a fountain which will be
placed in the near future.
Realizing the greater responsibili
ties which will come to the women
of Oregon, by virtue of the privilege
recently granted them, it seems wise
that they be informed along lines to
which their intention will naturally
be called. To that end a program for
the year has been arranged by the
educational committee , comprising
topics with which every citizen should
be familiar. The Rural Credit System,
Property Rights of Women in Ore
gon, Natie'"->! Issues and other sub
jects of equal interest will be studied
during the year.
The splendid co-operation in the
past, is an incentive to greater ef
forts in the future and there is no
reason for any other thought than
that of success. Adequate in numbers,
in ability and it is believed in interest
it is possible to accomplish any reas
onable undertaking.
To the attainment of greater effi
ciency and the development of an
optimistic view may all adopt the
slogan “Better and Bigger Things for
Tillamook and Vicinity.”

Wedding Garment, or The Speechless
Guest—Why,” "Join the Church Day”
will be January 30. In view of that
event Mr. Youel will conduct a spec
ial meeting at 6:45 which will be help
ful and interesting to church members
as well as to those who are not. The
question for the meeting will be
"Why should the Christian be a
Church Member?” Everybody is ask
ed to get out his bible, dust it off, and
bring it to church Sunday morning. It
would be a fine thing to come with it
to Sunday School at 10. Get in line.

In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
the point on the paper which is to receive the
type impression is stationary at the instant the
type hits. The carriage does not bob up and
down when the shift is made to write capitals.
Why?
Because the type is shifted—not the carriage.
The only movement of the carriage is back and
forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways—
and this does not take place while the print is being
made. There is no lifting of the carriage.
