LOUISE FOSTER. Club Reporter. PLATTSMOUTH WOMEN'S CLUB A few reasons why every woman should belong to the Plattsmouth Woman's club. The motto is: "Unity in Diversity." Individuals may differ on political question in religious belief in the things they enjoy doing in their manner of living, but in the heart of every mother is the longing to do and be the best for her family. The Woman's club is the civic or ganization representing the women of the community. Every woman who craves a broader outlook for herself, a better community in which to live, should affiliate with the Woman's club, no matter in what community she lives. It has been said that the Woman's club i3 the middle aged woman's chance at a college education. We know that when the clubs of the country begin activities this September that there are more than three million women striving for a broader understanding of the world's problems. We shall play and study and work together. Friendships will be formed that will enrich the life. Civic improvements will be attempted that overwlse would be left undone A richer, full er life awaits any conscientious mem ber of the club. There are four departments of work in the Plattsmouth Woman's club: The Parlimentary Leader, Mrs. Robert Hayes. The Better Homes Leader, Mrs. Erie Teepell. The Music Leader, Mrs. James T. Begley. The Dramatic Leader, Mrs. Wil liam Baird. The general meeting occurs the first Monday evening in each month. The dues for the year are $1.50. A member may attend any or all of the department meetings. Not many things in this world are equally di vided, but to each is given twenty four hours each day to use. It is up to the individual to plan the days so there is time for recreation and improvement as well as work. The first meeting of the year is Tuesday, Sept. 4 (on account of Labor day falling on Sept. 3) at Sunnyside. the home of Mrs. E. H. Wescott. Every woman who would like to Join the club Is invited to attend. WILL GO TO ASHLAND from Tuesday's Tjanv Charles S.
