Report of Kinsman
Convention by Mrs. Huck


Following is Mrs. Fred Huck's re-
port of the convention of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs held
at Kingnan, April 6, Z and s, which
was read before the meeting of the
Central Arizona District Federation
or Nomen's Clubs last Tuesday:
On Thursday morning w. l.. Lin
Vile, in behalf of Kingman, addressed
the assemblage. Part of his address
contained the following: 1t is with
pleasure that we see you here this
morning and I note with appreciation
the balanced program that you have
prepared. To more serious objects
for your reflection, ] want to point
out five plaques that l consider to be
afflicting humanity:
1. An unprecedented challenge to
authority.
2. An abnormal aversion to work.
3. An equally unprecedented fail
nre TO recognize the personal respon-
sibilities.
4. A seeming unquenchable thirst
for the pleasures of life as the great
aim of life.
8. A gross materialism which denies
the reality Of the spiritual in human
life
His three possible remedies for
there Affections were:
1. individual responsibility.
2. Individual morality.
5. A return to the old fashioned
idea OF the home as the salvation of
our people.
After few more equally important
remarks a floral key to their city
was presented to Mrs. Flanagan,
president of the Arizona State FEEDER
alton Of Women's Clubs.
Mrs. G. A. Warren, president of the
Thursday Afternoon club of King
man, gave an address of welcome
which rang with true hospitality.
saying they were glad Of the oppor-
tunity of entertaining US, that much
was to be gained by the convention.
to assist the Arizona federation in
all its work.
,'Mr. .Linville has presented the key
to our city. but believe the women of
the Thursday Afternoon club wish to
give you the key to their hearts and
homes Also
The state presidents address con-
tanned the following messages:
"At the close Of two years service
as president of the Arizona State
Federation Of Women's Clubs, while
the thought of the responsibility in
Cured and benefits received have
made deep impression in the mind
of your president, the terrible finan-
cial depression has affected the en-
tire state 1t has retarded the
growth of membership and the mum.
ber of clubs joining the federation.
The state presidents travelling
fund has this year assisted for the
ffY.cf Of f-P a cf 70
president to keep in touch with all
the clubs of the state. The music
clubs and some OF the business and
professional wonen's clubs found it
expedient to join their own federation.
Our federation has a high standing
as a state organization. National
recognition of that standing is be-
ginning to make itself felt outside the
nation. A full representa- ton Of dele
gates from Arizona was present at
Des MoineS, Iowa, in 1920 for the first
time in the history OF our state fed

the general federation board, Mrs. H.
A. Guild acting in the capacity as
auditor Two representatives were
sent to the Centennial period held in
Mexico, the call having been made by
our general federation president"
club motto was broad. 1t embraces
the interests of all women and comes
in vital contact with every woman's
organization and welfare activity in
the state. 1t cannot be too strongly
emphasized that the growth of the
state federation depends in great
measure upon the district federation
presidents, as through them the in
dividual clubs can be reached. The
ever present topic of discussion is
Americanization and the best way to
Americanize a foreigner is to treat
him in our country as we would
have him treat US in his. The rural
women are among the finest in our
state and we should work not for
them but with them for mutual adj
vancement There is urgent need of
a fund to send the state president to
conferences when officially appointed.
"At this point and before laying
down my office / want to emphasize
