i personally I felt fully rewarded for
the long journey and the time given
fup to this meeting, and. the universal
sentiment was that every one in al.
tendance got a great deal OF benefit
from the conferences we had and the
reports we listened to.
"The meeting was unique in one wav
I'VE were the guests Of the PinelIss
/ county federation and each meeting
was held in a different place in the
county The Pinellas women termed
it an experiment. The resolutions OF

lightful progressive party. 1 cannot

lures of the meeting because we haynt
time to dwell upon that, but my ad-

great privilege as well as ENJOYABLE

illuminating. She told US many things
that we do not get from the news
papers and magazines. One thing OF
interest was that this conference was
held in the only building in Washing

the structure, and that notwithstand-

sufficient to seat the delegation from
other countries, so the stage was ey-
tended out over the whole f1oor-to t5s
height of the chairs, and the wh.s
center of the building was the COL
ference room. This staging being 50

edifice in as good a condition as !;

portant work.
Another address made by Mrs.
Winter was on federation matters
the scope of which was very extensive
it was intensely interesting, but I will
not try to go into it. She spoke many
times on various subjects and always
when her advice was asked
