W.C.T.U
W.C.T.U. was first organized in 1896. Two ladies that were involved were Mrs. Annie Beatty and Mrs. Maude Smith.
It was reactivated in October 1927. Mrs. Wilder from Fargo came to Carrington and delivered her organizing speech. She said that the W.C.T.U. was not an organization whose sole purpose was to reform drunkards or hunt up blind pigs. They also endowed child research bureaus, had departments of public health, one of social morality, child health centers, parent centers and an Americanization department, and it carried on foreign missionary work.
