j ed. Miss Heffenger reported having
j interviewed Miss McNasby, the war-,
time police woman of this district.,!
j through villose instunientality the Cur
! few Oddinance was passed for this
city.. That the Curfew Law is effect
ive in the breach, rather than it.; ob
servance, was practically shown by
Miss Heffenger’s report. The Civic
Lotgue took the stand that Annapolis
must have a Curfew Ordinance, and a
motion was carried that the secretary
write to the Mayor and inquire into
| the matter as to why this ordinance is
| no longer enforced.
Mrs. R. D. Tisdale, who presided at |
the meeting, as first vice-president,
[ there being no president, appointed a

the committee: Mrs. T. J. Linthicum.j
i Mrs. John Ireland, Mrs, Robert Das
j’hiell. Mrs. Robert Moss. This commit-j
! tee will submit a list of names of of- 1
"ficers to be voted for at the January
j meeting.
A general discussion followed as to
i ways and nutans of increasing the
membership, as every woman in An
napolis is wanted to become a member j
of the Civic League, which organiza- j
tion, standing as it does for civic bet
'terment believes "in number there is
strength.”
