To further their work the Kiwanis

Mr. Totten stated:

Kiwanis club is backing it as a pub

The invitation was unanimously
and enthusiastically accepted
Mrs. Cory thanked the convention
in the name of william L. Yancey
chapter and the other Birmingham
chapters, and Mrs Huey thanked
them for the state division.
Worked Many Years
For many years this invitation
from Yancey chapter has been given
and systematically worked for by
Mrs. Cory and Mrs, Ledbetter AS
early as 1916. when the convention
met in Dallas, Tex. Mrs. Chappell
Cory extended her invitation, but as
so many were clamoring for it. with
drew in favor of Chattanooga, saying
she would save her invitation for
next time.
at Louisville convention Mrs. Cory
and Mrs. Ledbetter went fully
equipped to renew Yancey chapters
invitation for Birmingham. but found
that Mobile. Ala. was giving one and
knowing that it would be impossible
if two places from the state were con-
tending for either to secceed. very
generously came down for Mobile,
saying however, that Yancey chapter
would play the part of watchful wait
ing.
In this contest Mobile was de-
feated by Tampa. Fla, Again, at
Asheville, Mrs. Cory renewed Yancey
chapters invitation having heard that
as no delegate from Mobile was pres
ent no invitation would be given.
Much to the surprise of all tele-
graphed invitation from Mobile was
presented by the Alabama division
president. This. of course defeated
Birmingham chances again. and st.
Louis was chosen.
This year, nothing daunted. YAM
cey chapter went again with her in
vitation, believing that the psyche
logical moment had come, and it real
ly had but through hard and earnest
work
Thus It will be seen that by I'M
preeedented patience and persever-
ance this invitation from Yancey
chapter has been Systematically
worked for and presented for the past
six years until crowned with success
we wish to extend our sincere
thanks to Pelham chapter. U. D. c.,
for its very timely Endorsement, and
also deep thanks to the other chap

hope that William L. Yancey chapter
would succeed in bringing the con-
vention to Birmingham
TO the pr sident of Alabama divi-
sion, Mrs E L. Huey, we are also
grateful for her Endorsement and her
graceful, hospitable words to the con
vention
We wish to assure all that we will
expect their hearty and cordial CO.

why go to the parks? There's
nothing going on-and nothing any
body could do. is there7"
Ane one has to admit deficiencies.
Said Mr.. Totten:
Three main things for the parks
stand paramount in our minds as be-
ing needful at once.
"A big park for the assem- blage OF
most of the city's people. where pan
oramic affairs, folk dances and great
pageants could be adequately put on.
There is at least one park in this
town that could be made to serve as
a natural stadium.
Then We need parks of special
privileges, where coating and fishing
and such things could be the main
features. ~
And, after this, we require many
smaller parks which will provide for
all community needs, every day, and
offer wading and swimming pools,
sand piles and recreationaf centers,
such as shelter houses, where older
folk or young people can roast wie-
niles and have lunches in the winter
season as we'll as in summer.
In fact, we need a great many

Ted Brownell related:

entire park acreage consists of only

The statement sent out to some
Alabama papers from St Louis, saying
that Pelham chapter, through Mrs

convention to Birmingham. and Mrs.

The facts are these:
Mrs. Chappell Cory and Mrs. 5. L.

which had been extended for many

asking Mrs Huey, president of Ala
bama division, TO go with her, the
other arrangement being that Mrs
s Il Gardner from Pelham would
indorse the invitation for Pelham
chapter from the floor of the con-
vention. Mrs Cory reminded the con-
vention that at Asheville, N G., last
year she read letters from the city
commission and leading business as
sociations of Birmingham. and that
many kilograms were received from
prominent citizens indorsing her IN
vitstion to meet in Birmin CHAM, ano
that she and Mrs Ledbetter had
come to renew this invitation. which
was also now Endorsed by the United
Daughters of the Confederacy chap
ters of Birmingham and the president
Of the Alabama division, Mrs. Z. L.
Huey.
Mrs. Cory then called on the
president of the Alabama division
to add her plea to this invitation.
This Mrs Huey did most cordially
and gracefully.
Mrs S. H Gardner, who had gone
TO St Louis with an Endorsement
from Pelham chapter for Yanceys IN

speaker, having been authorized by
