 gates To Local Meet

UnGualified Endorsement of the policies of the Jefferson county board of health was given in a resolution adopted Thursday afternoon by the Third District Federation of Women s clubs, holding its tenth annual conven- tion at the Southside Baptist church, with delegates from v clubs in at- tendance.
 In the discussion, some delegates wanted to make the resolution apply only to the fight being waged by the health authorities against the "stabil- ization ordinance advocated by a small group of raw milkmen, but the vast majority demanded that the federation vote its full support to the health board in all measures.
 The resolution follows Be it res solved, that the third district of the Alabama Federated Women's clubs go on record as indorsing the present policies of the Jefferson county board of health and pledges the support of it's members to all measures that it undertakes for the purpose of protect ing the people of our community from diseases"
 The delegates attending the conven- ton represented several thousand club women of the district, which embraces all the territory in Jefferson county.

She brought greetings from the state body and lauded the work done in the third dis trict during the last year., Mrs. Peyton Eubanks, district manager, opened the meet. Mrs. H. L.

 It is the position of the chamber that such trades methods are unfair to local retailers who pay municipal taxes and hire employees here. The move is not aimed at factories which have established branch offices in Bir- mingham, it was made plain.
 Admission of sixteen new members to the body was second outstanding feature of the meeting of the directors. These include: M. A. Marcrum, J. N.
