CONSTITUTION TELLS ABOUT
WOMEN’S ACTIVITIES
IN CAIRO.
Below is an interesting sketch ot
i the activities of the Cairo oman
Club, taken from Sunday’s Atlanta
; Constitution, which accompanies a
two-column picture of the Club pres
ident, .Mrs. G. T. Hardy. The article
was prepared by the club's publicity
department by special request of the
editor of the club page in The Con
stitution, in recognition of the splenJ
id services rendered.
The article lollows:
I “The Cairo Woman’s Club was or
ganized as “The Sc-hdol Improvement
club” in September, 1906, federating
ir. 1910. The object at that time was
to create and maintain an organized
center °f thought and activity in the
school; it was later changed to Tne
School and Civic Improvement club,
thereby broadening its interests. In
1920 the name was again changed to
, “The Cairo Woman’s Club.” At that
the entire club was divided into de
partments and divisions in line with
ta state and general federation
Mrs. G. T. Hardy accepted the
dency oi this club in September, 1922.
having refused election three years
previously. During her adminsira
ti°n ^e educational department has
bought a curtain and scenery for the I
school auditorium at a cost of $<’23;
■j 40 books have been bought foi the
school library at a cost of $317.46;
133 additional books have been do- I
nated by the members of the ciub.
The new International Encyclopedia
(cost S168) was placed in the school
library last April, it being paid for
quarterly; magazines have been placed
in the library; S150 has been spent
for other school improvements.
The citizenship department through
the civic division has kept the court
house grounds beautified, also a small
park in the center of town and three
small plots, have kept grass planted
and mowed, planted and replanted
shrubbery where needed, also planted
perennial flowers; through the com-|
“unity service division the club has j
cooperated with the men’s civic or
ganizations in numbers of campaigns
for civic advancement; the department
ir. cooperation with the D. A. R. chap
ter always have some community cede
bration on patriotic days.
The public welfare department has
placed scales in the school to have
children weighed and measured;
vided free dental examination one
year and sent cards to parents show
ing condition of teeth; had health
songs and drills taught in the school;
had Cho Cho, the health-clown, to lec
ture; Christmas and tubercular seals
have been sold each year.
The legislation department has urg
ed representatives and senators to
vote for bills indorsed by the club,
child welfare and educational bills;
has assisted in carrying bonds for
school building, and written congress
men and United States senators to
support bills sponsored by the club.
The department of the American
Home is a new department with us,
| our program for the coming year is
! on the “American Home” and we hope
to do some splendid work along this
line. We have a good publicity do
partment, the club is given strong ad
vertisement in the local paper, The
Albany Herald, and on the club page
in The Constitution. We do not have
a department cf fine arts in our club,
but we do all we can to encourage and
promote art, music and literature; we
have a literary program at each meet
ing interspersed with vocal and instru
mental musical selections; this year
we will have a program on art in the
home and are trying to arrange to
have an art exhibit.
The club has an unlimited member
ship of 115. Last year we paid SI 1
each as district, state and nation 1
dues, $11 to state headquarters, $10
to Tallulah maintenance fund, $5 *.o
district home economics scholarship
at Georgia Normal school, $100 to
Edna Peterson scholarship at A. & M.
school in Tifton, $10.50 for Near East
relief fund; send a box annually tc
ex-service men in Augusta; each year
we have charge of the Red Cross rod
call, as there is not an active Re 1
Cross chapter here.
The outstanding work of the club
for the coming year will be the build
ing of a clubhouse. A site for a club
home has been donated to the club by
O. T. Davis, president of the Cairo
Banking Company, and his mother,
Mrs. Alice Davis. The plans are ro
erect a building at a cost of approxi
mately $4,000. Some generous pledges
for this fund have already been made
by some of our business men and
plans are being made to divide the
club into groups and asking each
group to assume their share in raising
this amount.
