Mrs. T. NJ. Milling Of Shreveport,
the newly elected treasurer of the
state federation has notified the pres
ident that it will be impossible for
her to serve. In the emergency thus
created, Mrs. R. F. White, the for
mer treasurer, though refusing re-
election at the convention, has gra-
ciously consented to hold over until
the meeting of the Board Of Direc-
tors in March, when a new treasurer
can be selected by the Board. This
will be undoubtedly satisfactory to
all members of the federation as they
voted Mrs. White their appreciation
of her splendid services at recent
convention.

From the office of the National
Prohibition Agent comes the follow
ing letter with the suggestion to the
clubwomen, embodying President
Harding's plea for education in re-
gard to law enforcement. That this
lis important work for our clubs and
schools to do is beyond doubt.
The Proclamation Of President
Harding for Nationwide observance,
December s-9 as "American Educa-
ton Week" comes at an opportune
time, affording an exceptional oppor-
tunity for carefully planned and ef-
fective work in behalf of law enforce
ment.
There is nothing more important,
more necessary, more imperative at
this time, than the education Of the
people as to the grave, need Of Law
z Enforcement and the benefits which
fsllowed the adoption Of the Eight
eenth amendment, which was written
into the constitution by the largest
majority Of any of the nineteen
amendments.
The highest and most reputable Al.

been such progress made in any cru

'ne attendance at the meetings and
splendid results obtained thereby. The
meeting Monday afternoon was fine

1t was decided that strenuous ef.
1orts would be made to get not only
every member but every woman in
Natchltoches to register and pay poll
TAX before the end Of the year, other
wise she cannot participate in any
election for the next two years, and
not only are several important ones
already scheduled to take place, but
others likely to occur, and every
woman owes it to hesrelf, her FAM
1ly and community to be prepared to
her duty, so all are urged to attend
to this very important matter by
going to the Court House where the
parish registrar will be found every
day during the week of December
11-16, between 9 A. NJ. and 5 P. NJ,
and every Friday and Saturday
throughout the month of December.
Attention Of those members who have
failed to pay their dues is called to
this fact and they are asked to be
prepared to do so when Secretary
calls for same.
It was decided to give Thanks
giving offering Of bed linens to the
Sanitarium, and a committee was ap-
pointed to confer with Acting Mayor
Watson and ask him to take up the
matter of lavatory service at T. &

been working with the Division Supt
The League will carry out as far as
possible the late lamented Mayors
plans for a City Beautiful, who not
only co-operated but was always an
inspiration to it, and after a COM
mittee was appointed to draw up res
olutions Of regret and sympathy upon
his untimely death, the meeting ad-
journed subject to call.-Enterprise.

AN INTERESTING REPORT


work being done by the federated
clubs Of Louisiana in cooperation with
the Home Demonstration Agents and
the Rural club work has been sent in
by Miss Overby, our State Chairman
Of Home Demonstration work.
It will be of interest to all Of the
clubs that are trying to foster the
spirit Of neighborliness between the
town and country women. Much in
terest was shown in this feature Of
club work by those attending the con-
vention and the clubs of Baton Rouge
are arranging for a Neighbor Day
meeting to take place in January
when the members Of the clubs Of
the city and the parish will get to-
gether for the whole day with a lun-
cheon served at the Rest Room and a
program of interest to every woman.
Miss Overby's letter to the club
presidents and her report Of the work
that has been done is as follows:
;; Baton Rouge, La,
November q, 1922.
My Dear Club Women:
In her address before the Annual
Meeting of the Louisiana Federation
of Women's Clubs in New Orleans,
Mrs. Winter, president Of our Gen.
eral Federation, gave emphasis to
the fact that the home is the great
center Of women's interests-and that
all of the things that touch the home
have their larger aspect in the &C.
tivities of the General Federation.
To enrich the home life Of club men,
bers-to extend the influence of Fed
Grafton so that every home-maker in
the country is brought to a knowledge
Of better things-to a sense Of great
er power an dof larger responsible
ties through united effort-surely,
this is no small aim for Federation.
Yet it is just this that our organiza-
ton is doing and is seeking to do for
an ever enlarging group Of home
makers in all parts Of the world.
Is your Club interested in its i'm
mediate neighbors-women in the ru-
raj sections whose interests are so
closely allied with yours-whose op-
portunities may not be quite 50 great,
but whose help could be an inspira.
ton to you and whose presence in our
State Federation would tremendously
augment the influence Of Federation
for the things it is seeking to
achieve?
am enclosing herewith copy Of
some suggestions gathered from the
experiences Of clubs in various parts
of the State, and presented at the re-
cent State meeting in New Orleans
for the consideration of the assem-
bled delegates. Each Of the delegates

May I hope that your club will do
this? would like to hear from you
just as soon as you have decided
which of the suggestions you will
adopt as one Of the special activities
of your club for the coming year.
Very sincerely yours.
