Show Club enjoys paper, elects officers Ladies' Literary Club members mem-bers were delightfully entertained enter-tained Tuesday evening of last week at the Social Center in Spanish Fork, where Bertha Johnson was hostess. Following a nicely-arrarged luncheon, Mrs. C. A. Smith, in charge of the program, introduced intro-duced Mrs. Hal Clyde as the speaker. She gave a most interesting in-teresting and educational paper on the early Constitutional Convention Con-vention at Philadelphia, relating relat-ing some of the difficulties encountered en-countered in formulating the document. Delegates to the convention con-vention ranged in age from 26 to 81 years, with an average age of 43 years, it was noted. Traveling by horseback on bad roads was among the least of difficulties for these early political pol-itical leaders as they gathered to chart a workable set of laws for the national government. The delegates met from May 25 to September 17, 1887. The Constitution was adopted and signed September 17, 1887, by all 13 states except Rhode Island Is-land In short business, under direction di-rection of Mrs. Belva Edwards, club president, new officers were elected as follows: Mrs. Ray Gammell, president; Mrs. W. H. Brown, vice-president; Mrs. E. T. Crandall, secretary; Mrs. Emil Ostlund and Mrs. John Y. Bearnson, program committee. By vote of members it was decided to meet 'on Thursdays rather than Tuesdays the coming com-ing year. It was suggested that the first and third Thursday or the second and fourth Thurs- days of each month should be scheduled for meetings. The club collect was read by Mrs. E. T. Crandall. Next club meeting is to be Tuesday, April 19, at the home of Mrs. Julia Sumsion with Mrs. A E. Jacobsen in charge of the program. |
