men’s club rooms, when Miss
Alice Carlson, district home dem-
onstration agent, and Fred Merri-
fleld, district agent, were the
principal speakers.

er county officers were special
guests. Home demonstration clubs
represented included: Red Rock,
Meridian, Mayview, Center drove,
Mustang, Richlaud, Pleasant View.
Reports (liven
The morning session of the
federation was opened by Mrs.
W. B. Combs, vice-president,
when roll call was answered by
the annual reports of the wo-
men’s groups. Election of offi-
cers w>as to have been held at

cause of the late arrival of a suf-
ficient number of club delegates.

I hereby proclaim that the week beginning.
Nov. 9th and ending Nov, 15th, the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and thirty-one, shall be observed in
the City of El Reno, as American Education Week.
During the week people of the entire nation
focus their attention upon the schools. Although
education is primarily a responsibility of the states,
and local communities, and rightly so, yet the nation
as a whole is vitally concerned in its development
everywhere to the highest standards.
The more complex the problems of the Nation
become, the greater is the need for more and more
advanced education. Every medium which expresses
opinion helps make this annual interpretation of edu-
cation effective.
Education of the masses is of importance to
good citizenship.
J. 0. CHAMNESS, Mayor.
