Governor Thur mond, showing a proper courtesy arid good manners, extended an invitation : to Barkley to spend the night at the mansion (owned by the people of South Carolina) while in Columbia Through the grape-vine route we learned from Columbia that Barkley did not wish to accept the invitation and would hatch up an excuse. The suggestion was made by some that Memorial Service Honors Mrs. Pitts Prior to the regular meeting the president of the association, who happened to be the mayor of Colum bia, invite Barkley to spend the night at his home as Ins guest to relieve him from accepting Thurmond’s in vitation. What happened later before the date for the meeting was the Vice- of the Woman's Society of Christian Service at Broad Street Methodist church Monday afternoon at the church, a memorial service was held in memory of the late Mrs. Nannie A.

A number >f members of the organi- zat.un thought favorably of the sug- gt'.-t ii-1 and hive so stated to us. We suggested that a -mail ballot vote by the entire membership be requ.red rather than the selction of officers through a nominating com mittee. An added suggestion was that the president be elected by the board of directors, the procedure now fol lowed by commercial bodies in most towns and cities.
