THE DAUGHTERS PLANS
 FOR THE REIrNI0N

As each day brings the reunion nearer | 10 our midst. the Daughters of the Con- | federacy are working steadily, earnestly and enthusiastically to add each day some comfort as well as pleasure to the veterans during their stay. Already
 mention has been made of the excellent | plans being made by Pelham. AVondale, Ensley East Lake, Woodlawn and Wifi COX chapters, to conduct tea and coffee
 room near the Bijou, where both hot and
 cold drinks will be dispensed free | throughout each day, together with sand- i wiches and other light refreshments..
 Much time and thought has been given l to the detail work of this arrangement, | the undertaking being of such vast pro- portion that only by careful, experienced i handling could it be brought to successful realization. Now. however. the entire un dertaking has been so splendidly system- atized and the chapters ably organized l into working forces that the Daughters anticipate no trouble whatever in it's com | petion.

 1 Mr. R. A. Brown, chairman of the
 union executive committee. and MT J. P. l Philips, chairman of commissary conn.,
 mittee, have not only given hearty ap- 1 proval to the arrangements made by these l chapters, but in addition have earnestly expressed their sincere thanks to the committees Tn charge TOT the assistance | their work will be and the spirit of CO., operation thus engendered. The plans of this undertaking conceived and executed entirely by those having it in charge,
 will. according to their original plans, 1 be financed entirely by the chapters rep resented. funds for which are already contributed There will be no after | sessment for the chapters to pay, and
 no obligations incurred not previously l arranged for. The entire idea, from the I time of it's origin was and is for the pur- | pose of allowing the United Daughters of 1 the Confederacy members the privilege of showing special attention to the vet erans, and was decided upon and ar
 ranged without consultation with the re- union finance committee for the reason i that the ladies realizing the heavy re- sponsibility already resting upon that committee had no idea of adding to it's burden by asking financial assistance, but | have from the first intended their work as supplementary and cooperative. How 1 correct they were in their estimate is | demonstrated by the hearty spirit in
 which their plans have been received and welcomed by those now in charge of the ! reunion arrangements Certainly the Daughters should be widely commended | for their efforts.
