Joan Howard has donated a braided rug to 'the club, and we have been selling tickets on it at the various entertainments. The pro- ceeds will be used for payments on our mimeograph. At the annual school fair, we sponsored our first booth, which allowed dart throwing, and the selling of tickets on a cake, The activity netted us S38.75. The club is planning a card party to be held March 17, at the Library. Canasta, Bridge, and Sixty-'three will be played. CLUB authors in the world, Blandings' Way, a con- tinuation of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, by Eric Hodgins, The Wall, a novel revealing the full stature of a man in the face of catastrophe, by John Hersey, and I Dare You, by William H. Danforth. We had two tables at the fair, one having aprons and fir pillows for sale, and the other, parcel post packages. Tickets were sold on a beautiful bride doll, dressed by Mrs. Nor- man Greenlaw. The helpful cooperation of Mrs. Greenlaw has made it possible for us to have these bride dolls each year. Thirty-five dollars and forty cents was cleared from the Library tables, and this profit is being spent to improve our library by allowing a wider variety of books and magazines.
