Arizona republican., 1922-04-16

an ambition have cherished in COM
| mon with my predecessors to hold a
mid biennial consul meeting of the
general federation at our Grand Can
yon. In closing. permit mo to ex-
press my deep appreciation to the Of
ficers, department chairmen, standing
committees and the loyal club women
of the state. No state president
could ever have more tender memories
| of general hospitality not merely Of
| ficial but of personal nature. These
endearing recOllections will iliumine
hours of a ripper age.
Mrs. c. A. Robinson of Peoria re-
sponded to the addresses of welcome
with the following: The words chosen
to welcome us into this delegation
certainly rang with hospitality and
| think the sound of the gavel in the
hands of the president has sounded
most welcome. / bring regrets from q
score or more of the women who for
various reasons were kept away to-
day, realizing they were missing a
great treat both socially and educa-
tionally.
Personally ] feel like the little boy
who had just been informed by his
mother that their annual Christmas
visit to their grandmother's had been
called off and said, "Oh. mother, just
think of all the good things to eat
and we won't get any" An iliustra-
tion / think of one of these conven-
tons where there are lots of those
good things to eat, but I think Mr..
Iinville has given us so much food
for thought at the beginning of our
session and am sure before we have
finished this session we viii not know
how to express our gratitude to the
women of Kingman."
On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Fl. A.
Guild, auditor of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, was called
upon to address us upon the work of
the general federation. Mrs. Guild
asked that her subject be changed so
that the trend of her speech be on
child welfare. Some objection was
made and she very kindly consented
then to devote the last 15 minutes of
her allotted time to the subject on
the program and answer any ques-
tions desired. Mrs. Guilds talk was
very interesting, since the welfare
Of children is the subject we are all
interested in.
Mrs. Guild advised those who
wished a list of the officers and di-
rectors of the general federation to
procure it from Miss Ida Hafford,
Maryland building, washington, D,
c.. She also gave an interesting talk
on the new club rooms in Washington,
which are very much needed by the
federation.
The question Of the charge OF 10
cents per capita instead of 25 cents
per club was explained, giving every
one a clear understanding.
Friday morning Miss Alice V
Joyce OF Tucson gave an address or
"Hoine Demonstration Work" In
part it was as follows: Home I'm
provement and Home Demonstration
work should be in every state in the
United States. 1914 per cent of the
| working people are choosing agri-
culture and 5 per cent other profes-
sions. under this extension service
given through the University of Ari-
zona. There is no definite boundary
between this and Home Economics
| Splendid help to this department to

state. also to try and have a. bill
