A committee of five persons was elected to supervise and plan’ the programs and in general to have charge of the three evenings leaving the fourth evening given to the young people in the hands of the young people themselves. The committee consists of the following: Win. Folger, John Maxwell, Miss Jennie Eib, Mrs. John Newcome and Mrs. S. L. Jordan. This committee to serve for a period of three months at which time a new committee will be appointed. It was decided that it was best to wait till after the holidays before commencing the carrying out of these ’ plans, 'regularly, so the next meeting will be held the first Friday of the New Year. Get out your pencil now and mark this date and make it a point to get to the Barkley church that night and get something good.
