Woman’s Club Meets With
Mrs. Turner
The Jefferson Woman’s Club held
the first meeting of the new club
year on Monday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. J. C. Turner, with
Mesdames A. B. Elizer, J. W. Jack
son, 0. L. Singletary and George
Westmoreland co-hostesses.
The meeting opened with the
reading of the Litany, led by Mrs.
H. J. W. Kizer, followed by the
American creed and salute to the
flag.
The president, Mrs. M. M. Bryan,
held only a short business meeting.
As this was the first meeting of the
new club year, the reports from de
partmental chairmen were omitted.
The secretary, Mrs. J. D. Escoe,
read the minutes of the June meet
ing, which were adopted.
The program chairman presented
plans for the program and list of
hostesses for the next year. These
are to be printed in The Jackson
Herald, and each club member is
asked to clip them for future refer
ence. ,
Mrs. C. E. Pittman, of Commerce,
president of the Ninth District Fed
eration, was guest speaker, and used
for her subject, “Looking Forward
to the New Club Year.” She began
her talk by commending highly the
Jefferson Club on the splendid work
it is doing, stating that though there
were many clubs larger than this
one, none were more active ah<f co
operative with the general plans of
the Federation.
Mrs. Pittman spoke of how club
work had progressed since the first
small literary groups were formed,
and stated that as democracy has
broadened, so club work has broad
ened. She spoke at lengeth on the
different phases of viork these or
ganizations were doing. 80% of
the libraries, Mrs. Pittman stated,
were founded by club women, and
90% of the rest rooms in cities were
the inspiration of these same groups.
Tallulah Falls Institute, she stated,
is the crowning glory of Georgia
club women. She closed her talk by
saving that the clubs of tomorrow
will be exactly what we want them
to be, as the present clubs are lay
ing the foundation for even better
and bigger ones in the future.
Mrs. Pittman’s talk was an inspir
ation to each member, and proved a
splendid message to the club as it
starts out on the work of the new
year.
Miss Sally Bryan then tendered a
beautiful piano solo; and the club
adjourned.
The guests were ushered into Mrs.
Turner’s lovely garden, where the
teachers of Martin Institute and
Mrs. Pittman formed a receiving
line, and were greeted by each club
member.
