Chairman Focht, Of the commit

women who wished to present or

the bill to appear before the COM

There was a great to do about
it in the newspapers at the time,
and it was widely heralded that
many women would attend the
hearing with cigarettes in their
mouths and boldly and noncha-

faces of the august Legislators. As
a matter of fact, most Of the spec
tators were women, motherly look
ing women, but not a sign of a
cigarette appeared on the scene.
Knitting needles and armfuls Of
knitting wool were much in evil
dence, however.
Perhaps the knitting was brought
along by the women to act as a
sedative for nerves that were over
wrought by this latest proposed
discrimination against women. At
any rate, there were several
wrsthy arguments presented by
the knitting women against the
massage of the bill.

 Being Planned We'll
 Ahead tn the State

Auburn. June lD-Com- munity fairs received considerable attention in st least two counties in Alabama during the week, ending June 25. This is made known by the reports of the county demonstration agents, and the counties were Colbert and Etowah.
 Tn cooperation with Superintendent Murphy and Mrs. Diana B. Williams home demonstration agent, County Agent N. H. Brown made arrange ments for five community fairs which will probably be held in the Brice, Morris, John Jones. Curtiston and the Anderson Crossing schools.
 The cdmmunity fairs for Colbert county were planned by County Agent Deal and Miss Bonnie Frank King, home demonstyation agent, and it is now thought that they will all be held just prior to the county fair at Tuscumbia in order to make 1t possible for each community to have rood community exhibit at the county fair.
 Fairs will be held in five communi- -ies and at least 12 communities will be represented in these five fairs. The Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and the TuscImbia Chamber of Com merce are both cooperating in this big educational movement by offer ing $500 cash prize to the com munity having the best exhibit at the county fair.
