I used to get terribly tired of having to wet the comb or my fingers before setting my hair. I finally hit on the idea of using a glass bottle with a pump, such as a window spray cleaner comes in.

Make sure to boil, or at least thoroughly wash, the bottle before using.

Following the first of two articles regarding the organization and activities of the club in its 50 years of existence. Fifty years ago the men laughed when a group of about 50 women of Ironwood banded together to form a Woman's Club.

The men said that no group of women could get along together and wouldn't exist that very the club long. But they were wrong and the Ironwood Woman's Club, organized Nov. 20, 1916 for the betterment of the city is still very much alive and still growing. Those organizers had drive and that drive hasn't stopped. The first president was Mrs.

Then shampoo to remove the DEAR GIRLS-Noninflammable household dry-cleaning fluid is often recommended for spots with fatty content, such as milk. Any rugs with rubber backing must be treated lightly to prevent damage to the backing and the work with dry- cleaning fluid should be done in a well-ventilated place. Do remember, as always, to first try any spot removal treatment in an inconspicuous spot to see its effect on a particular fabric or not an officer, she was an or ganizer and much credit must be given to her efforts on behalf of the Club for making it such a success in its early years. The Nation was at war then and the women worked hard for the war effort.

They knitted, made bandages and even put i their children to work making comfort pillows for the hospitals. One of their first patriotic acts was to check the restaurants and hotel kitchens to see if the Hoover pledge of rationing was being scrupulously observed. Under the leadership of Mrs. Lobb they helped campaign for a Memorial Building after the war was over. As recognition for the civic work and war work which the women had done, the city fathers gave the Ironwood Woman's Club permanent quarters in the new Memorial Building.

During the depression in the '30s the women presented programs at the CCC camp where year to help support it. This school is for girls with emotional problems, not delinquents. Clothing and gifts are also made. The club has made a policy of encouraging youth to use their talents by asking them to perform on programs and to compete for prizes offered by the State Federation. Since the Ironwood Woman's Club was formed for the betterment of Ironwood it has constantly sought to make this a better place in which to live.

One of its early projects was to get a better supply of water, for the city Housewives were tired of trying to get clothes clean with the rusty red water from the Montreal River which was the city's water supply. They prodded the city fathers into finding a new supply of water which would be good for washing clothes and also safe to drink. Wells were found near Spring Creek. In 1918 the Club women started laying plans for a city directory which was later compiled and issued. First, however, they had to get the city officials to mark and name the streets.

Several weeks ago my husband asked me if I would mind if a business associate from another city stayed in our home for a week "to save expenses." I cannot describe my astonishment when I discovered that the "business associate" was a woman, and the only business they had together was monkey business.

For five days she sat around our house in her filmy negligee, filing her fingernails, smoking cigarets and reading trashy magazines. My husband took her to a "sales meeting" every night. They never got home before 3:00 a.m. Finally I asked her what connection she had with my husband's firm and she told me she had no connection, but that she used their products once in a while. Then I asked what she was doing in town and she said she had always wanted to visit Cincinnati.

Although the club has not run women for office since then it has always emphasized the necessity of interest in local affairs and informed voting Through legislative committees it has been kept informed on various issues and taken action on them. As an example, when it was proposed Dear An: I think her gall is exceeded only by your stupidity. If it took you five days to ask a guest in your home what she was doing in town, you are pretty slow on the uptake, Lady. 666 Dear Ann Landers: I am a 17-year-old girl who wants to know how much loyalty a person owes a friend My closest girl friend (I will fake the name and call her Inez) asked me to spend Friday and Saturday night with her because her parents were going to the Cape for the week- end. My parents have always liked Inez and agreed that it would be O.K.

I went with a fellow I've "been seeing a lot, but not dy and Inex dated a fellow she had just met three weeks After the date (we went to a movie and then to eat) Iner. asked both fellows to come and listen to records.

They helped Mountains State Park be organize a USO, assisted the Red Cross and sent out 1,671 cards and letters to area servicemen. They donated $100 to the Honor Board which was placed on the corner of Suffolk and Aurora. After World War II the women put on a clothing and canned food drive for European countries. CARE packages were sent to Korea during that war and since that time CARE Literacy kits have been sent to countries badly in need of schools.

Cards and messages were mailed to area boys in Viet Nam and it is expected that they will be sent again this year.

Back in 1923 a college loan fund was formed to help local students in need of aid finance part of the expense of their education. The original fund of $1,000 was added to it so that more students could be helped.

This loan service is still active. It has helped many students. The repayment of these loans, made without interest charges has been very good. This is evidence of the fact that the club women who have administered the fund have been good financial managers. In addition to the loan fund, scholarships to the Gogebic Community Colleges have been awarded regularly.

There is also a District Nursing Scholarship to which the club contributes. the early '30s the music camp at Interlochen came to the attention of the Ironwood Woman's Club; it along with other clubs in the district contributed to a scholarship to send a student from the Upper Peninsula. In later years the Ironwood Woman's Club awarded its own scholarship to a local student. After this scholarship plan was abandoned and Northern Michigan University began holding summer music sessions, scholarships were awarded to these sessions. The club has also co-sponsored music series concerts for the enjoyment of music lovers in the area and drama productions put on by the drama department of the University of Michigan.

The Ironwood Carnegie Library has been helped. Money to improve the meeting room was given, money was opened up for exploration and the mining ot copper, the club petitioned the state legislature and the conservation department to permit it. Club members as a group and on their own wrote letters, signed petitions and attended meetings. This project was defeated down state by so called nature lovers. The club has contributed to many local projects in its 50 years of existence including sizable donations to Copper Peak and the Hiawatha statue.

It has maintained membership in the Chamber of Commerce for many years. Women are always concerned with the health and welfare and the club has acted upon this concern. Between 1918 and 1920 they assumed official responsibility for welfare work done in the city. During the first months of the depression in this area a committee worked daily distributing welfare supplies and collected and mended clothing. a Health work has taken various forms throughout the years.

In 1923 milk lunches and dental care were introduced throughput the public schools due to the influence of the club which also provided num us tooth brushes. Women have worked with children's clinics, Health- mobiles and the sale of TB and Crippled Children's seals. Contributions have been made to Bay Cliff summer sessions. Programs and gifts have been provided at convalescent homes and hospitlas. At Christmas time there is an ingathering of beautifully wrapped gifts which go to the State Hospital in Newberry.

The necessity of public restrooms in the business area was recognized and the club has seen to it that the city provided these facilities. Recreation and sports have always been encouraged by the club. Not long after the club was organized the women appealed for outdoor ice rinks. They prepared for summer activities by purchasing playground equipment for Curry Park and hired two playground directors for two months at $75 per month. One recreational project of special note was the teen-age dance program.

A qualified teen-ager received a card with dates on it. When a person entered the card was punched. If he left the building he could not return. Chaperones were always present and discipline was maintained. The fee was 10 cents so that no young person would be kept away because of lack of money.

Two thousand teen-agers were registered during the war years and they came from as far away as Ashland and Watersmeet. Eight hundred persons worked on the project each year without remuneration. Proceeds, much larger than anticipated when the program originated, were used for other youth project and for civic improvements. it 6 -to Nor has the beautification of the city and surrounding area been overlooked by the club women. Records show that in 1920 requests were made to the city to place flower boxes in the downtown area.

Women were encouraged to plant and maintain flower gardens. A beautiful flower garden show was held down stairs in the Memorial Building. Elaborate landscaping with evergreen trees was arranged; there was even a waterfall. Garden flowers were also displayed. Women have always been interested in conservation and have seen that trees were planted, doing the spade work and planting themselves.

This account cennot cover all the activities in which the Ironwood Woman's Club has participated but it can truly be said that there are very few areas of civic life which have not been influenced by this organization.
