W, C. T. U.
TheW. C. T. U. met in the
class room )i' the M F,. church
last q_'hur:day with only a few of
!}e faithftl m,mqer,, present.
The progl':lll was prlm:lpaly
a business ses.sion. \\;V,, ar, be zin-
ning to realize that we a: going
to have to get ready to meet the
wily ways of our enemies, the
wets, who are camaflaging a p(,
tition under the caption of tern
perence, but which only me:ms a
repeal of our dry law, so b(ware
of any petition presented by
them through misrepres en t a t!(,n.
One of the readings on oar pro-
gram, gave an illustrati,n of how
people are saying,, the \\;V. C. T,
U. is always calling for me ,.,y. A
mother said she had a dear b y
and he always had u, have food,
clothing and medical attontion.
As he grew older all',l more uc:eiul
it took more u) suppl," his needs.
Then he died and did no need
anything anymore. ,% it is with
our organization, if we are dead
not doing anything,, we do not
need any money. The world will
suffer for the loss of the good
work they are 1xyillg t) d() to
save ournation from this blight
and sin of intemperance.
Plans were made to serve a
Martha Washington tea to help
raise funds for the n:ti,m:.tl con-
vention which convenes in June
at Tulsa. We are anticipating a
great time as that is the first
a national convention has ever
been held near enough that Okla-
homa members could attend.
The next regular meeting of
our local union will be in the
home of Mrs. Frances Crabs. We
want tO urge every member to at-
tend and help carry on this great
work to keep Oklahoma dry.
Visitors are alwaye welcome if
they are interested in temperance
work. The leader will be Mrs.
Suthard.
