9 November 1939

"The Hen and Her Chicks" met at the house of Margaret E. Nov. 9, '39. All of the Sisters being present except Savilla, whom we missed very much and (perfhaps) perhaps was the fault of Verda. We had the pleasure having another rooster none other than Brother-inLaw, LeRoy Felix. The club had asked Ethel to compose a song suitable for the club opening and closing of our meetings. But due to the fact that Ethel was sick and was unable to do it, she has promised faithfully that she would have it ready for the meeting or there would be a fine imposed on her. We had reading of the minutes for the previous meeting read which were approved.

During the reading of the minutes we were interrupted by having another "Rooster" non other than Garnett Eplett. It was moved sec. by the members that each member bring a house hold hint or receipe [sic] to each meeting. The next meeting will be held at the house of Bess. The entertaining comm [committee] will be in charge of Margaret E. and Verda for the next meeting. The meeting was then turned over to the program com. [committee] Which was in [the] charge of Mother and Ethel. "The Hens" sang Dutch song and several other selections in high opera and I mean high, which was very enjoyed by all. Ethel gave a dialogue entitled "On The Wrong Train," which gave a very hearty laugh.

Ethel then played the piano and the club members all sang, we surely enjoyed this singing. Dues amounted to $1.25. Margaret E. served a very delicious sauer kraut [sic] dinner and we all eat [ate] until we had the "belly ache." The members all gave a rising vote of thanks to the hostess and also to the program [comm]. Bess acting as Pres In the absence of Savilla our Pres.
