Preliminary plans for several phases of the Junior College jamboree to be given Sept. 12 at the White City by all of the women’s organizations of Boise were checked over Friday afternoon at a meeting presided over by the chairman, Mrs. W.H. Simons. Mrs. Simons announced that next Friday, Aug. 14, a general meeting will be held at the Columbian club at which all women’s organizations of the city are asked to send representatives. There are 54 of these groups, not to mention innumerable small sewing or card clubs. All are expected to take part. Officers for the Jamboree, in addition to Mrs. W.H. Simons, are Mrs. J. Reno Numbers, secretary and Mrs. Will Simons, treasurer. Mrs. F.L. Finkea, president of the Columbian club, reported that the garden clubs of Boise will unite to sponsor a flower and shrub booth.
