WOMAN'S CLUB Woman's Club met at the home of Mrs. Louise Sherrill, with Mrs. Florence Howland, Mrs. Maxine Baker, and Mrs. Arlene Spadafora as assistant hostesses. President Edna Anderegg presided, and several matters of business were disposed of. The program was under the direction of Education Chairman, Chair-man, Mrs. Olive Anderson, and consisted of a group of four little girls from her Third Grade, in a group reading class as taught today. Also on the program were Miss Ruth Ann Reay and Miss Dee King, Girl Staters. They were presented by Mrs. Mae Silliman, and gave short talks about their experiences last summer at Girls State, stressing stress-ing that this program is one of great worth and interest to young people. Mrs. Bill Reay, invited with her daughter, elected to stay for the remainder of the meeting, but the girls left after their part of the program was finished. The Christmas party of the club was discussed, and it was decided to hold it at the Overnighter, since there is more room in the dining room there than at most cafes. There will be a dinner for the members, followed by an exchange of gifts and a Christmas program. The date is December 9, at 7:00 in the evening. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Chamber of Commerce met in regular meeting at Bruce's Cafe on Wednesday, with the program being a talk by Judge Edward Sheya. Judge Sheya spoke on modern court procedures pro-cedures and problems, stress-in stress-in the privlege every citizen should feel that the courts protect evey person's freedom. free-dom. He traced the hard-won rights of the common man from the Magna Charta to the present day jury trials, stressing stress-ing the compassionate concepts con-cepts of trying to stop crime before it becomes habitual. He stated that most crimes are committed by the 18-21 age group, and often a trial and a suspended sentence or parole will deter a prisoner from further criminal acts. Prison has become almost a last resort for repeaters. Judge Sheya stressed that not fear of punishment, but certainty of apprehension was the major crime deterrent. He cited the success of Scotland Yard in apprehending criminals, crimi-nals, using as example the train robbery of several years ago. Every man connected with that crime was brought to justice by Scotland Yard. A short question and answer period followed the lecture but with not nearly enough time to allow for the questions that would have been brought out had there been a longer period of discussion. The president of Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Pearl Baker, presented Judge and Mrs. Sheya with a copy of Wind-singer Wind-singer as a memento of their trip. The next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be at the regular time, Wednesday Wednes-day evening, December 8, at the City Hall at 8:00 in the evening. BICENTENNIAL BOOKMOBILE The Bicentennial Bookmobile Bookmo-bile spent Thursday in Green River, the forenoon at the school, and the afternoon and evening at the Library. Mr. Karnet Perry, State Library, was the driver, and was most gracious to the several people who came out to see it. Some of the original documents docu-ments and books of the Revolutionary Period, such as the original Washington's Farewell Address and some of the Common Sense pamphlets by Paine, were exhibited, and a number of copies of other papers of the early United States. The Bookmobile also carried books for check out, and some of these will remain in the local library for a time. One of these is Gore Vidal's BURR. The Library has been opened on Wednesday evening even-ing from 5:00 to 8:00 the last couple of weeks, and this has proved popular. Several people peop-le have come in during that time, and commented on how much handier it was to have at least one evening a week for library service.
