Prior to the regular meeting
the president of the association, who
happened to be the mayor of Colum

at his home as Ins guest to relieve
him from accepting Thurmond’s in

What happened later before the
date for the meeting was the Vice-

Service at Broad Street Methodist
church Monday afternoon at the
church, a memorial service was held
in memory of the late Mrs. Nannie A.

placed on the table with a tall white
candle in the center, which was

We suggested that a -mail ballot

requ.red rather than the selction of

the president be elected by the board
of directors, the procedure now fol

towns and cities. Probably it would
be well to enlarge the board’s per
