The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-08-01

All persons at work on posters are
hereby notified that the contest closes
August 4th. Please get them into the
Y. W. C. A. rooms by that time.
August 10 is the date set for the
Pageant at five in the afternoon in
the grounds of Mr.. and Mrs. Ran
dolph Anderson on the Chattanooga
road Should this prove a rainy or
disagreeable day then the Pageant
will be given on the first clear day
| following. This is the first demon
stration pageant produced in the Uni
| ted States from the national depart
ment of pageantry and drama of the
Y. W. C. A, and so it is being watched
closely, both in this division and in
the other divisions, where similar
pageants are to be produced.
The following interviews, which
constitute a continuance of the SYM
postum of Views begun last week,
show that there is among the good
citizens of Marietta an unanimity of
opinion concerning the work of the
Y. W. C. A.
GAS | understand it the purpose
of this big outdoor play is to show
that this is a country of real democ-
racy. Children naturally play to-
gether without regard to the distinc-
tions grown folks some times make
between families and classes. If we
Cobb county folks can all play to-
gether it will be the best possible
evidence that we are thoroughly dem
ocratic. If you believe in democracy
it is your patriotic duty to enter
heartily into this play.

with the work of the Y. w. C. A.
through the expressions made by wo-
men and girls who have been in touch
with it and have profted by it. The
Pageant which will be produced soon
will mean much to our people in an
educative and artistic sense and we
should lend our aid and encourage
ment to it. w. T. Potts"
81 heartily approve of the Y. W..
C, A. work on general principles and
/ feel that great opportunity has
been offered to our people here and
one that we should grasp and encour-
age. The Pageant will demonstrate
the full scope of Y work and we can
then learn more about it, but in or
der to make this Pageant success
we must give our time and talents
freely. +. l.. FaW.
"The work of the Y. w. c. A. ap-
peaIs to me primarily because it ell
evates womanhood and, in turn, nee
essarily elevates the world. Having
known of the effective work of the
organization elsewhere | can see the
great possibilities for good which it
is offering to the citizens of Cobb
county. We should all endorse and
support the regular work of the as
sociation and assist in the production
of the Pageant. John c. Dorsey"
at is a happy privilege to endorse
the work that the Y. W. c. A. is do
ing in Marietta. The Pageant that
they are promoting and will present
to the public next month will doubt
less be one of the most interesting
and instructive ceremonies that has
ever been staged in the Southern
States, and it should have the hear
ty cooperation of all our people.
