thusiastic over the Red Cross work
and Mesdames Thoburn and Scroggs
are very much pleased over the in*
terest they are manifesting and the
j progress they are making.
There is one crying need and that
| is more room. Most of the clubs have
a membership of twenty members to
I each club, and as there are about
j fifty clubs and societies in Norman,
j it would be only a natural conse-
I quence for several clubs to meet in
the Red Cross rooms on the same
day. We all know there are only two
rooms and one of these rooms is
! used for cutting and material. The
j other room has a table and several
j sewing machines in it. which fill up
the room pretty well, and there is
but little space left for the workers.
Now, if any one knows of a room, in
close proximity to the Red Cross
rooms, that can be donated or rented
for this work, will they kindly report
! it for it will sure please those faith- I
ful, patient women at the head of!
this institution, for the peiople have
{ no idea what a strain it is on them
j to be so hampered; and what a hand-
icap it is to the progress of the work.
It behooves every man and woman j
j in town to do his or her bit and if j
you can't sew or knit, perhaps you
1 csn assist in making things more ,
convenient and easier for those who j
can and in that way you will have I
| dene your bit.
| There were a, number of very im-
i portant matters that came before the I
committee for consideration and dis- j
cussion. One very important thing j
was street Crossing. This has been
| up before the committee for some j
i weeks, but action had been post- |
poned until a larger attendance ofj
the membership was present.
This was referred to the individ-
ual clubs and societies for discussion I
before the Civic Committee passed
on it.
Another matter was to ask the
bus^' public to show more consider-1
ation and respect to funeral pro- |
I cessions—that it to ask all drivers j
1 of vehicles, that may be on the street
| at the time a funeral procession is
J passing through , to stop and also
J all pedestrians. The baring of the j
I head was mentioned, but that was not ;
I included as they did not want to of-
] fend any gentleman by suggesting
{tothim a courtesy he had been acus-
tomed to all his life. The committee
! passed resolutions of commendation
I to Mayor Hutchin for the splendid
j stand he took in Sunday theatre
closing. The committee also voted to
ask the mayor for a more rigid cen-
sorship on moving picture shows and
that two or more women be put on
the board of censors. They also con-
demed the class of vaudeville that
