C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1922 NO 45 ifDERATED CLUBS IN SESSION MONDAY Central District Held Inspiring Meet ibg Monday GOOD CitOWDS PRESENT Sessions Were Not Only Inspiring But Educational-Many Fine Ad dresses Given A spirit of enthusiasm characteriz ed the annual meeting of the Central District of Federated Clubs, held here yesterday at the school auditorium, and presided over by Mrs. L. H. Jen nings, District Vice President. ' A splendid representation of delegates , and visitors from the district clubs federated and non-federated, was p. e serit. After the convention had been called to order the invocation pro nounced by, Mrs. Joseph Sprott, the Manning Choral 'Club gave two selec tions which were well received by tho r'dience. Mrs. S. O. O'Bryan, presi dent of the Manning Civic League, the hostess club, welcomed the guests and Mrs. N. G. Gonzales graciously respondesl. In her' address Mrs. Moss, State President, stressed some of t}ie inter esting features of the Biennial at Chatauqua, among them being the pledging of funds for the Federation Building at Washington to be erected at a cost of a hundred thousand dol lars; the decision to hold the biennial council in Atlanta next May and a re quest for unique methods of making money from South Carolina clubs, these suggestions to be used in a leaf let published .by the General Federa tion. Mrs. Moss also announced that the Southeastern Council will meet at Pinehurst, N. C. on December 5, 6 and 7 and urged that any club mem ler who can go notify her. The North Carolina Council meets there at the same time and all club women are invited to. attend this meeting, so it is .hoped that South Carolina, and particularly the Central District, will be well represented. At thjs juncture Hon. Thos. G. Mc Leod, Governor-elect, was ushered in to the meeting and was given an ova tion. So great was the applause greeting him' that the president sus pended the regular order of the pro gram and requested Mr.' McLeod to give his address. immediately. In the splendid talk which he made, the Gov ernor made a plea for a return to fundamentals. Reports of departments were next given by the chairman. Mrs. Cora Cov Lucas of the Department of--Fine Arts talked of music at the Biennial. A piano solo rendered with feeling and musienialy technique by Miss Nancy Hines of Bishopville was great ly enjoyed. Mrs. W. B. Burney made an appeal for co-operation with her department-literature and receiproc ity. The Division of Music was fully and interestingly reported by Mrs. H. M. Stuckey, chairman of the depart ment. The report of Mrs. Jennings, District Vice President, was inspiring, because it told of the splendid work done by the district during the year. She reminded the convention that the district has held the gavel for general excellence for the past three years and urged the clubs to keep up this stan dard of work. The meeting then ad journed for lunch. At the afternoon session the reports of the departments were continued, each of them presented in an interest ing and forceful manner. Miss Min nie MacFeat of the Child Welfare Di svision, made a moving plea for the child, stressing the fact that "every child is everybody's child." "South Carolina spent ninety-six millions for automobiles and nineteen millions for the education of her children last year," said Miss Wil Lou Gray, who put before the convention the four objects for which her dlepartment is striving, viz: proper recognition of the State Superintendent's omiee; pro peor recognition of the County Super i ntendent's office; seven months school term and a library appropriation of eight thousjand dollars. The report of Mrs. McL. McDonald on health wvork was a splendlid one. Mrs. Duncan Mc.. Kenzie of the department of Com munity Service made qn appeal for .service on the part of club members. Mrs. 5. 0. Plowvden mentioned the fact that South Carolina is the moth er of Home Demonstration Work and also of club markets and told of some of the work that is being accomplish ed through these agencies. The State Publicity Chairman asked for co operation in her work and reminded the women that her's is an empty of fice without such co-operation. One of the most interesting reports given was that of Mrs. P. E. Scott who is chairman of the Conimittee on Friend ly Co-operation with Ex-Service Men. Mrs. Scott told of the ways in which. the clubs can serve these men and stressedl the fact that such service is aM~issila Russell off'ored help from Winthrop and readi a list of sug gestedl programs for club use, these programs to be voted upon and the favorite made a part of the extension course at Winthrop. For the small fee of twenty-five cents per member, clubs may take this course. Miss Rus sell also reminded the women present of the short course, which will be bet ter thanm over next sunmmer. Reports of clubs w'ere in every ease inspiring ,each club having some ititeresting account to give of its ac tivities. The civic clubs have been doing. a ssplendid work, but so have the mothors' andl cultural clubs andl all of thoem are broadening the scop~e of their work so as to maeit of the L o DEMOCRATS RUNNING C] Smith Piles up Big Vote ip New York.
