Women Hear Of Part
In Municipal Affairs

H. F. Sherwood, of the expansion
campaign of the Chamber of Com
merce, addressed a meeting of women
in the auditorium of the Carnegie Lii
brary yesterday afternoon. In the
course of his remarks he emphasized
the part which women played in win
ming the war, and the demonstration
of woman's ability and usefulness in
civic affairs which the war afforded.
He spoke of the deep interest which
women take in practical affairs of
community life, and their value be-
cause of their knowledge of house
keeping details. He likened many of
the details of municipal affairs to
housekeeping, a city being, he said
a collection Of homes. Street clean
ing, sanitation and sewage disposal,
public health and education are
housekeeping details on larger
scale, and have led to the adoption
of the term, municipal housekeeping.
The speaker referred to a number of
Chamber of Commerce which have
many women members. and spoke
of the Importance of the work that
women can do in a civic way in such
organizations.

The president is represented as be-
ing willing for the exchanges to be
given to the public after he had "com-
pleted his case" which he had done
with the drafting of today's note.

"Out of the program of work will
come carefully defined specie tasks
for the committees to do. There
will be no standing committees and
no waiting committees. Each assign
ment that is given to a committee will
be explicit in directing what is to be
done, and when, and it is the bust
ness of the manager of the chamber,
of the president, and of the board of
directors to see that the committees
keep steadily on their jobs.
"The only way to insure the per-
manence of voluntary organization
of men is to keep them busy and in
terested. When a man has served on
committee or accomplished some
specific service for the community he
is proud of it. He becomes an in
terested and loyal member of the
chamber ready to respond to any
call that comes to him. A man
working on a committee for some
particular purpose is brought into in
innate touch with associated prob
lens of the community that demand
attention; so that no man can work
in a Chamber of Commerce without
gaining wider vision of the city's
needs and a constantly growing in
terest and loyalty to the larger pur-
poses of the organization of which
he is member.
"The ways and means that have
been discovered to make effective the
voluntary service of large group of
citizens are the result of long study
and experience. They have within
the last two or three years been Civ
en- something akin to scientific analy-
SIS and definition and have been work
ed into a definite organization pro.
gram
The executive management of the
Chamber of Commerce will natural
ly conduct a we'll defined program of
all the activities of the chamber for
the benefit of the whole community.
1t should give quick response to all
inquiries and requests of the mem
bers and should keep the citizens
constantly advised of what other
progressive cities in the state of the
competitive field are doing and how
they are doing it.
These are the plans that make thu
Chamber of Commerce permanent
There are the plans that will govern
the modern Chamber of Commerce
which Americus and Sumter county
will have at the conclusion of the

NEW CHAMBER TO START
BUSY---AND TOKEEP BUSY

What oout the permanence of
the Americas and Sumter Chamber
of Commerce." said Gen. Foster, di-
rector of the expension and reorgan-
ization campaign Of the Chamber of
Commerce.
I'm the minds of those who have
examined the plans of the campaign,
there is of course, no such question:"
he continued. However, others have
and will ask it, and am glad of the
opportunity to point out certain OBJ
vious facts.
"a Chamber of Commerce is an
organization whose life depends upon
the activity and cooperation of it's
membership. A board of directors
or commissioners without the support
of the membership is impotent. con-
sequently the plan of organization
Of a Chamber of Commerce which
looks forward to permanency and
constantly increasing strength, must
deal first, last and all the time with
the membership.
Zone gentlemen remarked the 9TH
er day after a careful discussion of
the plans for expanding the Chamber
Of Commerce, that the program
adopted is in many respects the re-
verse of that which has been follow
ed heretofore in some places.
The new members who will join
the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce will be eager
and insistant that the chamber do
something. 1t has been the practice
IN some Chamber of Commerce cam
palgns, after the members have been
enlisted to promptly forget them.
After this campaign not a day will
elapse before the call will go out for
members to elect the directors or
commissioners. AS soon as this is
done and the officers have been chos-
en-, the members will again be called
upon to answer the question: "What
is the Chamber of Commerce going
to do?
when each member of the cham
Der has made his or her answers to
this question, the membership as a
whole will have given the directors a
well defined program to which they
are pledged.
"The next question before the
membership will be Who will carry
this program through Again the
answer must come from the member
ship. The board of directors or COM
missioners is a directing body and the
membership is a working body.

COST OF LITIGATION
COST $4,000 TO PROVE BE,
QUESTS FOR MASSES FOR
DEAD ARE LEGAL.

Justice seems to be about the most
expensive commodity going in these
days of the high cost Of living.
Recently Cardinal Bourne of London
and the Jesuits, joint plaintiffs in an
action to prove the validity Of be-
quests for Masses for the Dead, be-
quests which gave us some of our
most beautiful ecclesiastical buildings
in the Middle Ages, carried their case
to the House of Lords and rendered a
great service to the Catholic COM
munity by eventually having it de-
cided through this highest tribunal
and once for all that such requests
are legal. The cost OF obtaining this
decision, however, was nearly $4,000.
More than tWO-thirdS Of this sum has
been obtained, the Cardinal himself
contributing generously toward it, but
some part remains to be found: and
His Eminence appeals to the religious
communities, who are likely to benefit
greatly by the verdict, to find the re-
mainder Of its cost.

MOtherhouse at Stcyl Holland For
full six years not priest Of the Or
der has arrived from Europe, and from
year to year the work of the Society
has grown to unexpected proportions.
Besides the addition Of a complete
seminary course, the removal of two
priests, one by death and the other
to China, the work arising from mis-
sion propaganda more than doubled
itself. The fifteen missionary priests
and twenty missionary Sisters who
are expected to leave Rotterdam soon,
will find a hearty welcome at TechnN,
Illinois, at Girard, Pennsylvania, and
in the Southern missions entrusted to
the Society Of the Divine Word.

ENGLISH DIVORCE BILL
CATHOLICS OF LONDON OFFER
STRONG OPPOSITION TO
LAX MEASURE.

Lord Buckmaster's divorce bill,
which grants divorce on very easy
terms and for very small reasons, is
being met with great opposition by
Catholics. Parish meetings are being
called throughout London to protest
against this measure, and the Catholic
Federation is acting in the matter in
conjunction with the parish priests.
1t may even be that, as in the educa
tiOnal crisis some years ago, Catholics
will hold great demonstration in AL
bert hall to show that they are moral
force in the land. They would be
sure of support from a large number
of religiously-minded people who see
the bulWark of their country, the fam
lily, crumbling before the onslaughts
of the license of the day. Lord Braye,
the veteran Catholic peer, electrified
the House Of Lords when BuCkmas
ter's bill was introduced. He arose
and in brilliant speech reminded his
listeners that England was still sup
posed to be a Christian country, and
that our Lord had said what God hath
Joined together let no man put asun-
der"
