Mrs. Wing expects to visit our

alton on those points that are valua-
Bile to know and to-. make use of in
this statewide advertising of home
made goods. Mrs. Dickey has presen-

with our town ladies now. Mrs.
Dickey carried with her for exhibit at
tine convention an especially pretty
dress made up SO attractively of this
goods. Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Peter

patterns also, given by Mrs Jack

ingly proud. AS these ladies go from
one convention to another talking
Georgia Mill goods they will be good
advertisements for a Fitzgerald pro-
duct
All the club women of the state are
being stirred by the slogan adopted
for that week Eat Georgia Products.
Wear Georgia Products, Use Georgia
Products"
The Governor has issued a procla-
nation to the people of the state to
observe this Made-in- Georgia Week,
May 22-27th, 1922.
The grand finish in each club local
ity is requested to be a Georgia Pro-
ducts Dinner. one half of the pro-
ceeds of which are to be sent to the
State Chairman of the campaign for
fund to be used in giving ambitious
girls course in home economics at
the state university.
The hospitality of Vienna has been
tested out this spring if ever and the
welcome accorded our Fitzgerald Wis
itors will go down in memory and in
club and school annals as somethin g
especially appreciated and noteworthy.
Hearts and homes were open for Wis
itors both at the High School meet
and for Woman's Club delegates all
within two weeks. Besides the gra-
cious hostesses of the town, Mrs.
c. D. Ketchum district president of
Woman's Clubs and Miss Emily
Woodward, editor of the Vienna News
had mucsh to do with carrying on the
success of the convention.
Several visitors of special interest
to our Clubs delegation were Mrs. ].
E. Hayes, the state president and our
recent visitor, likewise Mrs. Nichols
Peterson our club friend from Triton,
also Mrs. N. c. Wing, state chairman
of MADE In Georgia Week" cam
paign and Mrs. Carl Minor of Ameri-
Gus, whose husband was our former
townsman
Whenever we have entertainment
in another town we are always made
to feel more acutely our lack of mus
ical clubs or organizations at home
glee clubs, vocal or instrumental, or
chestras, or music study clubs, these
Fitzgerald never has been able to
have.
1t is not from lack of talent. it is
more seeming lack of time and
want of interest and the get-together
feeling SO essential for the beginning
of some of these and that same COM
munity feeling is such splendid out
growth as well. How those ladies'
choruses spoke of hours of pleasant
association and drilling together.
There was one of eight ladies from
Montezuma and one from Vienna, al
SO the Mandolin club of young High
School girls from Unadilla and splen-
did solos both of voice and piano
from the different towns.
