Thursday Afternoon Club
The members of the Thursday Afternoon Club were entertained Thursday, September 15th, by Mrs. C.S. Vinson at her home on Washington Avenue. As this was the first regular meeting for the new year, the program was somewhat of an introduction to the course to be studied for the year, ‘A study course in modern drama.’ The first paper, “What Is Drama,” was read by Mrs. L.W. Murphrey. The next, “Ihsheri’s Life and Words,” by Miss Ruth Clark. Then a voice selection, “They Needed a Song Bird in Heaven,” was very sweetly rendered by Mrs. R.T. Daniel, which concluded the program for the afternoon.
The hostess was assisted in serving by Mrs. W.L. Scott and little Miss Virginia Vinson.

American Legion
The William Shaw Post American Legion met Thursday evening, Sept. 15th, for the election of officers for the Post for the coming year. The officers elected were:
Commander—Dr. W.G. Suiter
Vice-Commander—Wiliam Josephson
Finance Officer—Paul Joyner
Adjutant—W.K. Gray
The new officers were installed immediately and a call issued for a meeting Monday night.
The meeting Monday night was well attended and more real wide-awake interest and enthusiasm shown than any meeting the Post has ever had. A number of interesting plans for the future were discussed, notably, the ones of the 1921 Armistice Celebration, to be held in Weldon.

The Woman’s Club
The September meeting of the Child Welfare Department of the Woman’s Club was held in the beautiful new home of Mrs. N.S. Barnes. The meeting was largely attended and full of interest.
After the transaction of routine business, Miss Saucer, the County Health Nurse, delivered a most practical lecture on the “Proper Nourishment of the Growing Child.”
The interest she aroused was evidenced by the Department voting to put on a health campaign in the school. Scales will be placed in the building for weighing the pupils and charts in every room on which a record of the physical condition of each one will be kept. At intervals during the session the pupils will have an opportunity to hear lectures on the care of the body.
Physical defects found will be reported to their parents, and it is hoped by their co-operation in having these removed that not only will their physical condition be improved but their mental efficiency greatly increased.
If you are interested in this work you are cordially invited to join the Child Welfare Department of the Woman’s Club on the 12th of October. The meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. R.T. Daniel.
