uFu6y AAVSfHOUH
The program at the Woman's Club
Saturday afternoon was under the
supervision of the committee on legis-
lation, Mrs. L. N. Green chairman.
The afternoon was devoted to the dis
cussion of citizenship and the making
Eof good citizens out of immigrants
who come to our shores.
The meeting was opened by Mrs. j.
Walter Hood, president. A short bus
mess meeting was held during which
| the reports of the chairmen of COM
mittees were read and delegates were
elected to attend the convention of
Florida woman's clubs to be held in
Gainesville Nov. 18th to 18th. In ad
dition to the delegates appointed, it
lis hoped that every member who pos
sibly can will do so out of honor to
/ Mrs. McCollum, the retiring state
president and also to our sister city.
/ The program was then turned over
/ to Mrs. L. N. Green, who made few
remarks on citizenship, its privileges
and duties Mrs. Green then intro
/ duced Mr.. L. N. Green, the orator of
the afternoon, although Mr.. Green IN
/ his opening remarks denied that he
was to make an address or an Grafton
but stated he was simply going to
talk as one man to another. Mr..
Green gave very interesting account
OF the sacrifices our forefathers made
in the days of the resolution in order
/ that there might be an American
citizenship, stating that we had re-
ceived it as heritage for which they
had died and for which we must live.
He then led his audience back thru
the ages to the days of Abraham and
Lot, Babylon, Hannibal and Carthage
and Rome, Oliver Cromwell and the
rise of England as world power and
down to the days of Belgium and the
world war In each instance, Mr..
Green showed how hard working,
God-fearing, right living race would
rise and conquer all obstacles while
a people living in luxury and dissipa-
| tion, no matter how rich and power
/ full, were doomed to defeat. Mr..
lGreen exhorted his audience to so use
their citizenship and to so live that
America might not repeat the disas-
trous history which has overtaken
so many powerful nations in the past.
| Miss Annie Pope Eagleton then
read brief resume of the naturaliza
ton laws of the United States. This
was followed by song very appro-
pirate to the topic under discussion,
"The Good Old u. S. A." sung by
Mrs. c. E. Winston.
| Mr.. Metric. Mr. George MacKay
and Mrs. George Woods, charming
French bride, each told "What Amer
Iica Means to Me-" These talks were
very interesting. Little Marius Tof-
faletti, citizen in the making, recit-
ed little poem on this same subject.
/ Captain Edward Drake gave very
instructive and earnest talk on what
we as American citizens should do for
the immigrant who comes to US.
Mrs. w. T. Gary then introduced
Mrs. Martha Falconer. associate di-
rector of the department of social
morality of the w. C. T. u. Mrs.
Falconer has been visiting the Ocala
Industrial School and urged the club
to do all it could for the school and to
also use its influence and that of its
!, individual members to prevent condi-
tions that make these school neces-
sary.

the audience to the coming. city elec-
ton and urged all to fulfill their. duty
as citizens.
