Twentieth Century Club hears about Roaring River

On Monday, Oct. 9, the Twentieth Century Club met in the home of Sandi Eaves, our hostess, with Glenda Ware serving as co-hostess.

The opinion was given by Evelyn Boyle on chips being put in employees. Companies are considering having this done for easier identification for their workers. Would the rights of the people be violated if they were not given a choice to accept or reject this action and what would happen if a worker happened to change jobs with another company?

For entertainment Sue Jones gave the members a choice of picking a Halloween costume and then gave the members an insight into what their choice told them about their personality.

Georgia Detwiler presented her program on Roaring River State Park which is located south of Cassville. This is a very well known park and famous for the trout fishing and its fish hatchery. The original park was acquired in 1923 and was developed between 1933 and 1939 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration. The original dam was built in 1865 by William McClure to power his mill but the mill was destroyed in 1920. In 1933, the C.C.C. reconstructed the dam for the fish hatchery complex. People of all ages go there to try their fishing skills.

The members enjoyed the delicious refreshments after being adjourned.
