Book Club Begins Fourth Year Soon; Questions Answered The Thursday Morning Book Club will begin its fourth year by holding an “extra curriculum’’ meeting October 20 to discuss the summer’s reading. The meeting will be held at 10 o’clock in the small room of the Civic Club. Because of the interest shown and questions asked concerning the activities of the Book Club, a brief explanation seems in order. Miss Norma Underhill, retiring chairman, reports in regard to membership, about 24 cards sent each month with an average at tendance of 28. The club organization has been simple, consisting of two officers, a chairman who also has had charge of publicity, and a “card- sendingl* secretary. This kind of secretary is a necessity where the type of books and the general topic for discussion changes each month. Library books are used. Minimum time was spent on or ganization business in order that more time might be given to the program. Discussion of books ha"s been Hhe primary interest of the group. However, some reporting is necessary in order to introduce the books for discussion. ’There has been a different leader each month. Therefore, this introduc ing of books varies with each meeting, ranging from brief one- person reports to short panels of two or three members or dramatic readings in case of plays. This coming year the club will be chairmaned by an executive ccmmittee of three, Mrs. Philip Green, Miss Carol Day and Mrs. James Hartshorne. The Book Club meets the third Thursday of the month at 10 a. m. in the small room, of the Civic Club. An open fire and morning coffee are considered an impor tant part of the program. Guests are always welcome— and active and inactive members. Sandhills Residents Are On Tour Of Far East And Australasia Captain George F.

Cost Discussed To their interest in the cost to the individual home owner, Math- ,erne said going rate on natural gas is $1.10 per 1,000 feet.
