Off HOnOrs at Southern
California Convention for
Jubilee Fund Collection.

The 39th annual convention of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
of Southern California, which closed at
Pomona last night will go down in the
history of the organization as the
Jubilee convention" it bringing to a
close the strenuous campaign which
has been waged for the past two years
for the Jubilee fund.
At the Thursday session of the con-
vention the welcome tidings was wired
to the national organization that
Southern California had gone over the
top with it's full quota of $32 900, and
a check for that amount was ordered
forwarded.
Imperial county w. C. T. u, Mrs.
Sylvia Eeldman president, has the
proud distinction of being the first
of the county units to raise its "vic-
tory" money and "go over the top"
time.
with contagious enthusiasm in her 10
minute talk Wednesday afternoon,
when all of the county presidents
spoke upon the topic, "The Jubilee
Dollars and the Milliop Members:
How and Why?"
"In the successful performance Of
such a task" said Mrs. Feldman,
"There are two chief requisites. First
each member must accept it as her
own task remembering that, if she
fails, her local union, her county and
her state will suffer. In the second
place, each task must be accepted as
IAN open door with confidence that He
who gives the task will give the
strength to perform it and that way
will surely be found"
Eliminate the last part of the word
doubt" and make it "do," Mrs. Field
man advised her members and the plan
she said, helped win the day. The "vic-
tory dollar" should be looked upon as a
gift and the spirit in which it is given
should be right. The So tax per men,
ber should be looked upon as an as
sessmcnt levied on the stock owned in
the greatest development project ever
launched" In this great company the
humblest white rbboner, she said, is
co-worker with the greatest.
How shall a million members be
won? Wear your white ribbon. al
ways, the Imperial County president
advised. Announce w. C. T. U. meet
ngs of every kind by pulpit, press and
personal invitation. Make people hun
cry to get in on a good thing. Get the
"fever" so badly that those with whom
you come into contact will surely
"catch it," and at all times remember
to keep an eye single to the glory Of
Him to whom the Crusaders looked
for help. 4
Telling of the success and growth of
her organization, Mrs. Feldman said,
"Things have changed down our way.
Money is scarcer than formerly. Cot
ton is no longer king but notwith-
standing this the Imperial Valley
Queens are still doing things"
Several resolutions were adopted at
the final session of the order but the
most outstanding of all was the fol-
lowing:
because a form of dancing is in
cluded in the physical exercises con-
Quoted in our public schools and be-
cause we believe that folk dancing is
the kindergarten sensual dance and
because there are many people who
have conscientious scruples against all
dancing, therefore, we, the Women's
Christian Temperance Union of South
ern California, in convention as
sembled, representing more than 5000
mothers of Southern California, ear
nestly request the state superinten-
dent of public instruction to make pos
sible the elimination of all forms of
dancing in the public schools"
The Imperial county delegates, all
of whom returned from the convention
this morning, were as follows:
O.
dent; Mrs. Jennie Hodge and Mrs. May
Wilsie, Ell Centre; Mrs. Elizabeth Ro-
bin and Mrs. Clara Hunick, Holtville;
Mrs. Emma West, Brawley.
