The WCTU met May 21, 1946 with Mrs. McCargar. Rev. Leslie McCargar read the devotions, saying in part, "God has a solution. We are find it out. When you have learned the solution, then pray for the courage."
Ada Park presented the program on the topic Rehabilitation Program of World's W.C.T.U. 
Mrs. Jackson, presiding at the business session, asked Mrs. McCargar reported on their errand, and Mrs. McCargar to reported that the lady had her route filled. Mr. Hawk said we may present a speaker when we can secure one. He said that 500 pupils could have listened, but 93 are graduating and will not be here next year. 
Mrs. Jackson said we better plan early in the school year next time. 
Mrs. McCargar read about Miss Allen who will be a speaker in March 1947.
Suggestion was offered that we ought to get a lady to speak to the high school pupils, and Judge Walters to speak to grown folks.
The WCTU Champion, March 1946, gives rules governing school pupils under age of 21, and are seen smoking by a truant officer, a member of the school board, or a teacher. The collection was $2.00.
Motion was made, seconded and carried that Mrs. Jackson nominate a nominating committee early, so that they can submit a preliminary report in time to make changes if necessary before the regular time in August to vote on officers.
Adjourned.
Ada Park, Secretary.
