Mrs Martha Gielow, who is well known
locally, was the subject of a sketch OF
some length. written by Julia Chandler
MANI and published in her page of the
Washington Herald few days ago Mrs.
MANI, relating the story of Mrs. Gle
lows work, incidental to matters regard
ing the meeting of the L. D. c., said
During the convention last week In this
city of United Daughters of the Con-
federaoy delegates and members from
every state in this broad domain of ours
hailed Mrs. Martha Gielow of Alabama as
1.-THE Educational Daughter of the
South" a tribute which she has won
through a work so vital that It's far
reaching value to the American nation
,annot be estimated until the seed she
has sown shall have produced their har-
vest, which Is not yet, for the splendid
work of the Southern Industrial Educa-
t.onal association, of which Mrs. Gielow
Is the founder, will not be completed un-
I'll it has Carried education to the heart
OF the mountains, spreading enlighten-
ment and hope in the heart of every
mountaineer of the southland, particu-
: larry the folk of the Southern Appalach-
aims, whose lives are spent remote from
the railroads, with the possibility of but
casual contact with the well informed
world to which I'VE are so accustomed
that we value the blessings of our own
associations and environment as a matter
of course and forget the men and women
and little children who are buried away
in the mountain Businesses without con-
tact with even common civilization.

10 receive her charter membership to the
u. d. c., and while she is an honorary

Greensboro. Ala, and an honorary MEM
Der of the Mary Mildred Sullivan chapter

educational uplift OF the less fortunate

federate heroes that her name stands pre-
eminent in America.
