As the members entered they were each told to pick one of the packages of pictures on the chairs and glance over it. Each member then told of the place pictured on on his card, talking as if he had been there. The meeting ended with Mrs. Pangle’s describing the Tower of London.To continue the influence of her talk, she then served tea, English fashion. An animated discussion of some of the things that had been described followed. Monday; yet is likely that work will be steady next week. Under present arrangements of the WPA, employees are paid only for the time they do on project; whereas they were paid for the project.

It is now expected that a public library will later be added to the present development. Club Grows Seven new members joined the Ballad and Folklore Club at its meeting Tuesday night.
