At the meeting of the Cherryville Woman’s Club last Friday afternoon the following officers were elected: Mrs. D.P. McClurd, President; Mrs. L.L. Self, Vice President; Mrs. C.T. Linn, Recording Secretary; Mrs. E.E. McDowell, Corresponding Secretary; and Mrs. Vernon Beach, Treasurer.
The meeting was held in the school auditorium, with Mrs. Emmett Rollins presiding, and was opened with the Collect of the American Federation of Women’s Clubs. After the routine business was attended to, Mrs. Rollins presented the question of a Welfare worker for the colored people of the County and on motion it was decided to make a donation for this work. The annual Floral Fair was discussed and several members offered plants to those who will grow flowers. Announcements were made of the Gaston Count and State Federation meetings, and delegates to the State meeting were elected as follows: Mrs. D.P. McClurd, Mrs. C.A. Rudiill [Rudisill], with Miss Lois Kendrick as alternate.
After the business session, Mrs. Joe R. Nixon, chairman of the American Homes Department, took charge, giving a splendid paper on “Better Homes.” Mrs. C.A. Rudisill gave some splendid practical “Hints for the Housewife,” and the meeting adjourned to the Home Economics Department, where fine exhibits of the classes were on display. A number of the members of the Club also had household articles on display (handmade rugs, quilts, screens, lamp shades and other useful and practical helps around the home).
Delicious iced tea and sandwiches, which had been prepared by the girls of the Home Economics Class, were served.
