undertakings Of the Federation and
of the disappointment that Edgefeld
was not recently represented at the
district meeting at Fairfax; of her
taking the place last year of vice
president when Mrs. Tillman declined
to serve. She said there was a need
for more clubs and more women that
they hear and see the ideals of the
Federation, what women have striven
for through the years what they
have worked and prayed for, when
they had no voice in the affairs of
state. Now, she said, we have this
added power and another lever with
which to reach our standards.
Mrs. Patterson spoke Of the Ma
tional Educational work and of the
immediate call to plant memorial
trees, and of great and immediate OBJ

diers whom we promised to hold in
eternal memory. Avenues and streets
are everywhere being planted as
memorials.

the program of the county She
urged the planting of memorial trees
and the multiplying of clubs. She
also welcomed the male members Of
the club. Rev. P. P. Blalock was
present as member of the Music
club and so pleased was he with the
addresses of these two honor guests,
as well, no doubt, as the others who
presided and took part, that ne said
he was thinking all the time of Adam
and Eve in the Garden of Eden and
was beginning to see how Eve could
