SPEAKMAN Tlie Provo Lions club composed com-posed of 67 business and professional profes-sional men has an outstanding record of service. Since it received its charter from Lions International in 1932, the Provo chapter has successfully successful-ly carried out many worthwhile projects, and the past year has been an especially notable one. The major project of all Lions clubs is to aid and assist the blind. The Provo Lions club has provided for some time a meeting meet-ing place fo rthe blind organiza- - tion in which to hold monthly socials. so-cials. At Christmas time the Provo Lions, in cooperation with the other Lions clubs in the coun- , ty, provided a turkey dinner and a program for the blind of Utah county. " In cooperation with the Lion-sponsored Lion-sponsored Boy Scout Troop No. 44, 24 white canes were furnished the local association for the blind. The Lions furnished the canes and the scouts painted them white". Motorists ' are cautioned to give the right of way to any one using a white cane, . because that person per-son is probably blind. During the past year the Lions club purchased several pairs of glasses . for underprivileged children chil-dren who 'were seriously handicapped handi-capped in 'heh' school work. This worK was done- in cooperation v.un the school nurse. s 1 he club ha3 contributed to the WPA nursery school and the state cancer control fund. The Provo organization sent one boy to the Utah Boys' State and has sponsored many other worthwhile projects. The Lions club, convinced of the significance of the service rendered render-ed by the Boy Scouts of America to youth, has sponsored a scout troop primarily to provide scouting scout-ing tor boys who did not wish to join any of the church-sponsored troops. The club invites any boy who i3 not a scout to visit Troop 44 and see what is being accom-plirhed. accom-plirhed. Tom Gessford is scoutmaster scout-master and he i3 assisted by the following committeemen: Gam Carter, J. B. QuLst, Don Barlow, A. J. Wagstaff, Carl Elliott, and C. O. Jensen. In cooperation with the other 44 Lioiin clubs in Utah, the Provo unit has assisted in the "Utah Lions Advertise Utah" campaign which has resulted in thousands of Lions visiting Utah. ERMA DEE ROBLEY JOHN MORLEY "Better Business Women for a Better Business World," has been the slogan of the Business and Professional Women's club of Provo since its organization in 1923. ;! The object of the club is to promote pro-mote the interest of business and professional women to bring the members into relations of mutual helpfulness, and to promote various vari-ous civic enterprises. This year, a scholarship is replacing re-placing the student loan fund which has been maintained by the club for many years, and which has enabled large numbers of B. Y. U. girls to continue with their schooling. A scholarship is to be given to a B. Y. U. freshman girl, (a Provo girl), to encourage and assist her in continuing through her sophomore year. Miss Amelia Buckley is chairman of the newly formed committee. In order to center all efforts on the scholarship, the club is doing away with the annual gold medal presentation to the best all-around all-around Provo high school girl. Also, the annual party for the graduating Provo higli school girls will be discontinued in favor fa-vor of the new project. The Provo club is affiliated with the state, national and international inter-national Federations of Business and Professional Women's clubs. Several new members have been added to the - club - roster -this year. Dinner-meetings are held the second Thursday evening in the month. Each year the club contributes a number of good books to the Provo city public library, further evidence of its service to the com munity This year's featured program prepared by the national council is "Making Democracy Work." The club aims to unfold the economic eco-nomic and social problems that af fect the lives of men and women today. To make democracy work, to make it an effective instrument for meeting the needs of the American Amer-ican people, is the goal toward which the organization aims. "We strive for 'power sufficient to help lift the way of life for all Americans for all people. " Officers of the club this year are: Erma Dee Robley, president; Elsie Jones, first vice president; Zina L.arsen, second vice president; presi-dent; Lucille Haws, treasurer; Eloise Fillmore, recording secretary; secre-tary; Marian Jarvis, corresponding correspond-ing secretary; and Amelia Buckley, Buck-ley, chairman of scholarship fund committee. 1 The oldest fraternal organiza tion in Provo City, the I. O. O. F. Lodge No. 14, was organized December De-cember 11, 1889 over 51 years of fraternity. Its home is located at 78 North University avenue American Odd Fellowship The American Order of Odd Fellows, whose golden links of Friendship, Love and Truth the sun never fails to set a gleam, has lined its pages of history with more than 121 years of valiant striving for the uplifting of mankind. man-kind.

P. O. Elks has experienced another successful year. National defense, a membership drive, Christmas activities, Americanism-building events, and recreation rec-reation have been featured by the lodge during the past year. In carrying out the various activities, the lodge has held as its ensign the four cardinal principles prin-ciples charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity. The Provo lodge was organized with 52 Charter members April 9, 1903. The .lodge has rendered 38 years of valuable community service since that time, and has been in its own home located nt First West and First South for 17 years. One of the notable achievements of the lodge during the past year has been its membership drive. Thirty new members were Inducted In-ducted in John J. Pershing classes, class-es, giving the lodge its greatest increase in membership in several sev-eral years. The annual Christmas tree party par-ty sponsored by the Elks attracted at-tracted 425 children from needy families who were given presents and a free movie. The lodge gave clothing to many, and presented about 50 baskets of good to families fami-lies of limited means. Always interested in the development de-velopment of youth, the Elks sponsored two delegates , to the j Boys' State encampment at Camp Williams, an outstanding institution institu-tion for teaching Americanism to the youth of the state. The lodge is in splendid financial finan-cial condition, and during the past year made many improve ments to the interior of the Elks home. Several improvements are being planned for the outside of the building for later in the year. The Elks home represents a valuation of between $u,000 and ?50,000, and will be entirely paid for within a few years under present plans. The Elks annually conduct a Flag Day program, and other patriotic pa-triotic events as a means of balding Americanism; One of their accomplishments along this line during the past yeai; was cooperating with the American Legion to sponsor a farewell tes-timonal tes-timonal for Utah county volunteers volun-teers leaving for training in the U. S: army under the selective service act. The worthwhile project of traffic traf-fic safety has become a major program of the Elks, and the local lodge has done considerable to promote safe drivinir in Utah county. C.
