ACTIVITIES OF CLUB WOMEN
By C. S. P.
The club women have been working
hard all week trying to make the
Woman's Department of the Exposi-
; tion a success. Whether it is a case of
"Love's Labor Lost" remains to be
seen, for the loss sustained so far
has been quite sizeable.
The "Arts and Crafts" Department
which was put on under the direction
of the Woman's Club, is attracting
great attention. The committee is ably
assisted by Mrs. Olive Webster Perry,
of Siler City, who is with the State
Fire Insurance Department, and is , a
most capable and efficient helper.
At the called meeting of the club on
Friday at noon, a great step forward
was taken when the women voted to
sell bonds to the amount of $45,000,
, which will pay off the debt of $25,000
on the property, and give $20,000 to
, bufld a much needed auditorium and
other improvements necessary to
carry on the work of the club.
Mr. D. E. Henderson was present
and explained the plan of issuing the
the bonds, and told the women it
should be no great effort to dispose
: of the bonds on such a valuable piece
of property.
In the absence of the president, Mrs.
Eugene Reilly, who is out of the city,
Mrs. J. S. Hoffman, first vice-president,
presided. The new Club Year Books are
ready for distribution, and were given
to those present last Friday. They
are very artistic, and reflect much
credit on the program committee.
After the meeting adjourned . the
usual tempting "club luncheon" was
crve. Mrs. John Paul Lucas acting
as toastmistress.

Throughout the summer, the cafe

of Rocky Mount, composed of Mes
dames S.. W. Stanley, Henry Home,
W. W. Williams, George T. Burnette,
A. F. Sydenstricker and Maurice Daurt
ridge, with Mrs. W. W. Williams as
chairman, has been diligently going
about the work incidental to equipping
a modern-, cafpteria, which is now
Hearing completion. The managers.
( Mrs. Norma Shepperson and Mrs.
Edith Jones, both of Richmand, have
arrived, and the final plans for the
formal opening which takes place this
week, are now being worked out.
The Woman's Club cafteria occupies
en? of the largest downtown buildings,
which was formerly used as a whole
sale drygoods house. Having en
trances on both Main and Wash
ington streets, centrally located and
r.f-ar the po.--toffice. the cafeteria is in a
position to benefit the community at
large.
CAKKTERIA COMMUNITY CENTER.
The operation of a cafeteria by the
Woman's Club primarily to raise funds
for the building of a Woman's Club
house in Rocky Mount, has developed,
into a unique and ultra modern pro
ject, that of establishing a sort of
community center! The out-of-town pa
trons wiil find there not only a most
attractive eating place on the first
floor, with modern cafeteria service,
but will appreciate thoroughly the
homey atmosphere that pervades the
entire building, its three waiting and
rest rooms, and its four wash rooms.
There will be a cordial welcome oh all
ocr.'i.sions.
Worthy of mention is the upstairs
Ttrnom, furnished especially for moth
ers and children, complete even to thc
"kiddio coop." These' comforts were

these young women have done much
towards community betterment, and
this is only one of the good results of
their labors.)
BANQUET HALL AND TEA ROOM
The second floor,, carrying out the
colors of the Club in gray and rose fur
nishings and draperies, will be used
for a banquet ball and tea room, cater
ing especially to private dinners, lunch
eons and banquets of the various or
ganizations of the community. While the
cafeteria has not opened its doors for
general service, demands of several
organizations for luncheons have been
yielded to, and the Kiwanis Club of
Rocky Mount had the distinction of
christening the banquet hall. The suc
cess of the occasion was evidenced by
the unanimous vote that hence, twice
monthly, the Kiwanis Club, will pat
ronize the Woman's Club banquet hall.
The annual reception given by the
Rocky Mount Woman's Club to the
teachers of the city took place in the
cafeteria proper with the club officials
and the cafeteria committee receiving.
Plans are also being perfected for a
get-together dinner to be served the en
tire membership of the club with their
husbands and men friends as guests.
The cafeteria committee has labored
under the difficulties incidental to the
re-adjusting conditions of the times, and
deserves much cerdit for the manner
In which they have accomplished the
seemingly imposible.
This report of the enterprise of the
Rocky Mount Woman's Club was sent
to the Federation publicity bureau by
Mrs. W. Gray Williams, corresponding
secretary of the Rocky Mount Woman's
Club- A committee from the club at
tended the recent opening , of the Red
Cross Cafeteria in Raleigh.
