MRS. MCOY'S ADDRESS
Mrs. j. H. Mccoy won her every
hearer with her heart-to-heart talk
to the men and women of Birmingham.
Mrs. Mccoy is an able speaker ana
through her years of work with girls
in the capacity of president of Ath-
ems Female college, she showed an
interest in the girls who had never
had the chance Of an education or
college training in such a sincere way
until 1t was contagious. Her earnest
ness permeated the entire gathering.
You men have been late in respond
ing to this call and I may say, even
later than General Pershing was in
getting to the aid of the French; and
every since l have been here ] have
been straining at the leasch to get to
work Every since l visited this instr
tuition and saw conditions as they ac-
tua1ly existed I have been nervous 70
see you get busy. Now You are going
to go over the top
POWER OF THE PRESS
II never have before felt the power
of the press or the wonderful and far
reaching effect of the printed word
and of the cartoon as / have in the
campaign that has been put on here
in the interest of these girls by the
local press. The people have become
enlightened and this speechmaking
hero tonight is unnecessary. We know
that you are going to raise this money,
but this is just kind of safety vaivc
for our pent-up feelings.
II have discovered one thing here
tonight that I have never seen before
IN Birmingham. 1t is the spiritual by
products of such cause as this. At
VIC odward they are making poisonous
gases to be used by our men in coun-
teracting the same poisonous gases
used against us by the Germans. This
spiritual by-product WIFI be used to
rout the poisonous gases that arise
from the environs that so closely
incase these unfortunate girls and it's
effect upon society will be for good
DE-. Frank Willis Barnett spoke
earnestly of the cause and vehemently
scored the man who would not help ir
cause of this kind.
DIG INTO POCKETS
Dan Dimmick spoke in response Ia
a call from Toastmaster Johnston and
stated that he was surprised to find
that the amount of steam that re
thought was necessary to put this
campaign over was not necessary and
I'll that was needed was for the peu-
PIE to go down in their pockets to-
morrow and dig up the money and
have it over with.
Louis Pizitz was called upon and made
plea to the women 10 build a home
az East Lake for the girls. Il do not
mean house. but a home. make il
a home, a home in your hearts for
these women. Make home in society
for them, for that is where they are
kept down-they are turned down by
society and they never have the
chance to get job or to be anybody
once they fall"
