its success in fostering democra.

Anniversary to be observed or
MGarch 12th, throughout the na

she made her now famous phone
.call in ^ Savannah, Ga., shortly
after returning home from England,
that her organization wou.ci
embrace well over a million an?d
"a half young girls-of all races
creeds and colors in the United
States within forty years. She
was a native of Savannah. ' .
That telefpMMe call to a
friend began with the words,
"Come right oyer! I've got
for the girls of Savannah,
and all Amtf-ica 'and
all the world." With characterihttc
irhha she aaw the un.
..' tapped potential of girls from
1 to IT m a powerful force
for good wlIT and irmtnal nn^
