been established.
Miss Laing is the probation
officer in the Fulton county Juv-
emile Court, and many little de-
linquents come under her care.
She said that when a child breaks
the lew there are three delln-
quents the child, the parent and
the community, and the way to
keep the child from going wrong
is to keep his mind in the right
direction train him up in the
way he should 60"
After Miss Laing's heart to-
heart talk, Mrs. Fitzpatrick
offered a resolution in behalf of
the ladies of the Third District
in regard to the establishing of
an industrial school somewhere
in South Georgia, like the one
supported by the clubs at Tallu-
lah. 3l
Truly our state president could
not have looked the world over
and found one more fitted to be
chairman of the Junior Civic
Leagues than Mrs. Lyman Ans
den, of Atlanta. Her presence
radiates sunshine, and her enthu-
iastic arguments for establishing
Junior Civic Leagues in every
town are convincing.
All were delighted that our
state president, Mrs. Fitzpatrick.
could be present. Her home is
in South Georgia-she belongs to
us and we are proud of her. She
gave a beautiful address during
the morning session, and gave
many wise suggestions during
the day in regard to the work in
the convention and the work to
be taken up later by the clubs
separately, and by the district as
a whole. She stressed the study
Of the year book, and the consti-
tuition, and the reading of
club literature. She mentioned
The Farmers Wife," a paper
teeming with good things, con-
tanning nice clean sweet stories
for boys and girls. Knowing that
all present would love to go
over again the many splendid
things she said. and those who
were not present would enjoy
rerding it, we secured Mrs, Fitz-
patrick'a permission to print
her address in full ard it Wi
appear in the Leader-E Enterprise.
| Pledges were asked for toward
the budget. The Cordele Wo-
mans Club gave $1,000 and the
Fitzgerald Woman's Club $500.
The other Clubs will of course
do their part, but their delegates
had not peen instructed VIVA ito
give.
The committee on resolutions
offered the following:
Resolved 1 That we thank
Mrs. Durrett for her official work
as our district president. She
has been a most earnest and eff
cient officer, full of enthusiasm
for the work and untiring in her
efforts in behalf of the Clubs of
the Third district. 1t was with
regret that we give her up.
Rerolved 2 That we RECON-
mend to the Federation, the ne
cessity of a federated industrial
school for South West Georgia
Resolved 3 That we appre-
ciate the presence of the state
officials and the helpful messages
they have brought US.
Committee: Mrs. Mccoy, Mrs.
Rawles, miss Conner.
Miss Conner offered a resolu-
ton of thanks to the Knight
Templers for the use of their
beautiful hall and to the Fitzger-
aid Club for kindness shown,
Mrs. Fitzpatrick asked that a
big bouquet of the choicest roses
from the hall be carried Mr.. Cook

OF ore We're shipped from Parker to
the Swansea smelter by the Ariziona-
Empire lbp to Thursday and it lis
expected that another car will be
sent out by Saturday. The trucks

ried down to the road, a distance of
about three hundred yards However
after Sunday the packing of the
ore ON burrOs to the roadside will be
eliminated as there has been force

his dairy stock. AS soon as the
new feed crops come on he will
bring i'm more stock from his coast
ranch. Other dairymen of the Swiss
colony at Sudden and Lompoc will
establish farms here this spring.
