CIVIC DIRECTORS
 IN MONTHLY MEET
Indorse Ford Contract and Urge Early Construction
 of Highways

Directors of the Birmingham Civic association at their regular monthly meeting at the Hillman hotel yester- day went on record as indorsing specifically the contract as signed by Henry Ford and submitted to Con gress for the lease of Muscle Shoals.
 The directors had previously in- dorsed the Ford offer as outlined and at the meeting yesterday more importance was stressed upon the contract. The attitude of the board was in complete accord with the movement of Senator Underwood in taking up the fight in the Senate for the ratification by the government of the Ford contract.
 Another important matter coming before the directors was authorizing the appointment of committee which will be named shortly to urge upon the state highway commission the importance of beginning project Improvements of the road construc- tion work in northern Alabama.
 In this connection the committee will urge the speedy consideration of construction work on the North and South Dee Line highway, which per haps means more to Birmingham and this section than any other project.
 Another committee was also au- thorized to advise with the board of revenue on the construction projects now under consideration in Jefferson county proper

TaHadega Will Help
 Birmingham Blind Work
Cooperation Offered Visit Paid That City by Mrs. Mary Willis and Mrs. Engstfeld- Talladegans Have Reception in Their Honor and Great Gathering to Discuss Plans of
 Getting Together"

is coming to the front with such a project"
 Mrs. Willis spoke enthusiastically of how TaIladegans are lending their personal cooperation to the work of their state schools.
 Notables There
 The reception was given by Dr. and Mrs. ]. T. Clancy. Dr. Clancy is head of Talladegas Institute for the Blind. They were assisted in receiv- ing by teachers of the institution. The. visitors met the president ot the board of education, prominent club women, persons interested In educational lines, physicians an~ many other delightful persons.
 One of the the things that inn pr essed Mrs. Willis most was the singing of the Talladega blind. The association hopes to have them here for concert one of these days.
 "A big thing we brought back with us was this" the Birmingham visitors stressed. "our people do not patronize the school for the deaf and the blind school, but the fact that there are no more of Alabama's deaf and dumb there for education is a great pity. Some one suggested that it might be because parents feared their children would not be taken care of properly. But just the op- posite Is true. They get every care, and every advantage"
 Visited Three Places
 Mrs. Engstfeld and Mrs. Willis visited not only the Institute for the Blind. but the Institute for Deaf and Dumb whites, and the Institute for the eolored blind. deaf and dumb.
 Mrs. Engstfeld spoke at the as sembly explaining what Birmingha m has already accomplished for it's slghtless, after which Mrs. Willis told of future plans.
 Dr. Clancy said he had watched with great interest everything that the Age Herald had published about the Magic City work, and would con tinue to follow such news closely. Offers were made by the Tallade- gans to help get the local commun- iy center started at once.
 Age-Herald There
 Mrs. Willis said: "I was astonished at the way we could buy an Age Herald at 7:30 o'clock in Talladega. That's fine newspaper work. Talla- degans can sit down and enjoy 1t at the breakfast table-just like Bir- mnghamites do."
 Mrs. Willis plans to have Taliade- ga blind students share the pleasure of tickets that are frequently do- mated to the association by various clubs of Birmingham to concerts an1 worthwhile addresses
