Mrs. Margaret Huntington Hunt-ington was co-hostess. Shortly after the club members arrived, a beautiful birthday cake in the club's colors of red and white, with red rose trim, was brought in and refreshments were served by the hostess. Mrs. Anderson An-derson cut the cake and gave sentiments sent-iments and a poem on how birthdays birth-days should be spent. The Anderson home was prettily prett-ily decorated for the occasion with red and white flowers. Mrs. Hilda Cherrington, club president, was in charge of preliminaries and asked ask-ed Mrs. Norma Strong to read the club collect. Mrs. Jennie Sanford was welcomed back into the club.

She also read thoughts on growing old and a tribute to the Mothers Study club sent by Mrs. Josie Alleman, a member, who resides re-sides in California.

A delightful feature of the program pro-gram was the number given by Mrs. Warren .Tonks, who dressed in costume of many years back, gave the life of Eliza R. Snow. As a fitting climax, she played "O My Father," written by Eliza R. Snow, as a fitting tribute to club members who have passed away. Mrs. Alta Adams gave a poem, "Friendship" and a group from the club composed of Mrs. Jeanie Pierce, Mrs. Maud Thorn, Mrs. Beulah Whiting, Mrs. Hilda Cherrington, Cher-rington, Mrs. Philda Finley, Mrs. Grace Crandall and Mrs. Verda Hunter, sang 'Smiles' and the club joined in the chorus. Mrs. Tonks was accompanist. In a most interesting history of the first 20 years of the club, Mrs. Anna Johnson related among other things, that six pairs of twins were born to club members during that time. Mothers were: Mrs. Elizabeth Eliza-beth Crandall, Mrs. Drucilla Clark, Mrs. Rena Roylance, Mrs. Maude Thorn, Mrs. Ada B. Harrison and Mrs. Josie Alleman. The club, Mrs. Johnson pointed out, was organized in 1912 with a motto, "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Rules the World."

Mrs. Melinda Sumsion commented commen-ted on the next twenty years of the club outlining the major activities acti-vities and contributions to civic projects made by the club indicating indicat-ing a desire to be good, do good and progress. An entertaining part on the program pro-gram was the roll call by Mrs. Rena Roylance who gave a clever and comical rhyme about each member. Mrs. Tonks gave a piano selection. Interesting things in the lives of the various members written by Mrs. Floss Harmer, former president presi-dent of the club were read by Mrs. Reynolds. Mrs. Mae Huntington gave a toast to the present club.
