REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF
PRESS AND PUBLICITY

As State Chairman of Press and
Publicity of the Louisiana Federation
OF Women's Clubs, I submit the fol-
lowing short but comprehensive re-
port Of the work accomplished for
the year 1922:
At the last convention, owing to a
business arrangement with the Illus
trated News, that magazine was de-
clared the official organ Of the La.
+. W. c., and as such, reports were
sent in, to be published every month,
After two months trial, for various
reasons, this proved entirely unsatis-
factory, so since that time, the news
OF Federation has been most graft
fylngly presented through the Wo-
mans Enterprise Of Baton Rouge,
the Sunday columns of tile Tines
P'cayune, and recently the Sunday
ltem' tne Shreveport Journal, and the
state-Times, Of Baton Rouge.
Using the Woman's Enterprise as
a special bulletin, in July, 1922, an Of
nclal report Of the club was mailed to
each Of the District Chairmen Of
Press and Publicity. These chairmen
were requested to have (and to the
best OF my knowledge did have) co.,
les made Of these reports in their q.
cal papers.
In September, the Woman's Enter
prise was again used as an official
bulletin, the issue being designated
as the Pre-Convention number, and
was mailed to all the officials of the
Federation.
Once a week, reports are sent to
me papers named above, and the dis
tr'ct chairmen publish news in their
local papers with the request to send
anything Of extra Importance to the
New Orleans, Shreveport, and Baton
Rouge Papers.
President Reed has been most
splendid in getting data Of special

tic science in their schools, cooperat-
ing with the Red Cross and Home

REPORT OF EIGHTH DISTRICT
PRESIDENT

To the Louisiana Federation OF Wom-
ems Clubs in Convention Assem-
bled-GREETINGS:
The clubwomen Of the Eighth Dis
trict are keeping pace with the wom-
en- in the other parts of our State
who are working for those things
which mean the future welfare and
progress of Louisiana. Their espe-
cial work is to cooperate with the
school authorities and to better school
equipments, Libraries, Fairgrounds
and all other facilities which tend to
improve the mental and physical de-
velopment of the child. Surely in do
ing this, they are building for the
welfare of our State and Nation, for
all progress depends upon the health,
mental development, ideals and ira
ditions of the rising generation.
Through Travellers Aid work, Girl
Scout organizations and Community
Service the yare also cooperating to
be of help to the youth Of our dis
trict.
| Besides this, our women are read
ing, studying and keeping abreast
of the times themselves in order to
intelligently Judge Of the qualifica-
[tions of those men who are running
for office, in order that they may
cast their influence upon the side OF
those who will best uphold the moral
laws of state and community.
Another work Of Importance i
Civic Improvement. This is being
planned for and accomplished. Many
beauty spots in our towns are direct
| " the result Of some federated club
which, by planting trees, having side
walks laid, and supervising cleanup
days is showing, by precept and ex-
ample. the benefits that come to
health, to ones artistic sense and to
the business standing Of commune
| ty from hygenic, beautiful surround
ings.
The Eighth District has "A feder-
ated clubs, made up of progressive,
wide awake women. All Of these
clubs are working under one or more
Of the departments fostered by Fed
Grafton, and some are truly depart
mental clubs, giving help wherever
help is needed. In this connection
might be mentioned the Mothers
Club of Alexandria, which, on &C.
ccount Of its varied interests and
broad activities, is known and valued
in the community life Of that city.
Among the culture clubs may BE-
mentioned the Matinee Musical Clue
and the Federated Geographic Cir
cles Of Alexandria, each CT which is
promoting interest in men:al and ar
tistic development.

young women, and are fostering such
organizations as the Girl Scouts,
Girls Dormitory Home, Travellers

|
anthropic work.
The work of the Housewives
League of Alexandria is expressed in
the name of this club.
Great impetus has been given to
playground equipment and the most
INTO date apparatus has been pro-
vided Honorable mention is due to
Mrs. John H. Overton and her CO.
workers of the Mothers Club, Parent
Teachers Department, for the splen-
did results of their campaign in this
direction.
Early in April a District Conven-
tion was held in Alexandria, its ses-
sions were we'll attended and many
helpful talks were made along the
lines of Parent Teachers work, and
topics pertaining to Civic interests.
/ Much tree planting has been done'
notably in and around Natchitoches
and Colfax. Mrs. Mcknight, as Dis
trict Chairman of Parks and High
ways, is intensely interested in the
preservation Of the beautiful Bynum
Forest as a State Park. It is hoped
that this can be accomplished.
AS far as possible all letters have
been given prompt attention, and all
Federation's interests have been CO.
operated with, including the Loan
Scholarship Fund contributions for
, the purchase of National Headquar-
ters in Washington, D. c.
