Questions at Luncheon Discuss Plans for New Jail
Citizens of the Women’s Civic League met at a luncheon to hear Mr. C. S. Eats as chairman of the supervisors discuss jail plans and other local topics. Miss Farrar’s illness prevented her talk on county work, while topics included bus parking restrictions and loudspeakers, and a protest against oversized trucks on Main Street. The club funded anti tuberculosis efforts and planned a charity card party, with discussions on unsightly vacant lots and nuisance concerns from blowing paper. Virginia State Society hosts Willard Hotel ball with prominent lawmakers in attendance.
