A committee from the Clric Lea gue" will serve refreshments Wednes day and Thursday, Outlook Days, for raising funds for carrying on their work here, in Lexington. This com mittee consists of Mesdamea Richard Bra gaw, Zeb. V. Walser. J. R. Me- Crary and J. M. Oamewell. They will have a" large number of helpers fro in among their members. It is their pur pose to make use of these ten days for raising a good sum of money for their needs. . The same committee that' Is In charge of serving these refreshments will also , have eeneral oversight of the" Rest Room for these two days, this room will not only be kept open throughout both days, but there will be' some oae in it all the while to help in making those who come in from the country just as comfortable ! as. possible. This will be a great help tD the country visitors, who will find the Rest Room a most comfortable place to spend a part of the time. 'This ..Rest Room, as every one knows, .is maintained by the Civic League; - . It is fitted up in good shape and is in an Institution that both Lexington and Davidson County should be proud of. On such occasions aa Outlook Days Its. advantages are greatj'emphasized. ' . - - speaking." ot . the "work of the Lei cue several of its members spoke very freely that while the town .has JgHnrthem jconsldrable support In ' 4 , v-5MseYeral6f thelfJefforUthey are still not clamorfng tq much for money, as they are trying to solve that problem largely of ' themselves, but they are asking the co-operation ot all in help ing them to put into practice some of the things they have been working for. Necessarily , a big part-- of their work, as one of these members spoke. Is seeing to it that the business sec tion ot the town is kept -clean. Through the work of the Civic Lea gue suitable wire baskets were pro vided for burning the trash about the places of business. Only a few of these are used- at present. The re sult is that there is lacking that clean liness that marks a thoroughly pro gressive business community. "If the merchants would just clean up tor "Outlook Days," said one of this committee, "it would be the biggest advertisement the town could have. It is so much desired that every mer chant make an effort to have a gen eral cleaning up day before next Wednesday. Now who will take the lead?" HEDRICKS GROVE NEWS. Lexington, Route 2, Sept. 29.
