A few phrases froh4 the paper on
Americanization, written by Mrs.
Margaret d. DeGarmo and read by
Mr.. Mosely were SO impressive that
we feel sure the women and the gen.
eral public will be interested by her
large hearted viw." 1t is an appall-
ing thought that anyone should be
surprised at any interest in those
who do not as yet speak our Ian
guage, in the foreign born who are
here and need our friendship and In
the others who need our help. Kip

he said:
II have eaten their bread and salt.
I have drunk their water and wine,
The deaths they died have watca-
ed beside, and the lives they have
lived are NINE"
The same God made US. and we are
in the part Of the world that We con-
slider the best of all the world and
probably they came because they
sensed that we must know. We are
stiff, cold and formal with faces in
capable of expression while they
have faces that talk. If we are fool
ish enough to think that we can
eliminate the foreign born from our
lives we shall surely live to regret it..
Self Representation demands that we
do our share in making them worthy
of citizenship. but above all human
ity requires it. They are people as
we are and the only difference is that
we fail to appreciate our opportun-
tiles for friendly relations.
The afternoon session began
promptly at =. M. with a crowded
house: Mrs. G. w. Cushing render
ing "Cantelene Nuptiale by T. H. Du-
bios, which was followed by a song
Summers Longings" by a quartet
from Music Department, Mrs. Una
Brown, Miss Nora Greeley and Mrs.
Hortense Hutchins and Mrs. Marion
kierstead.
The first address of the afternoon
was by Gov. Brewster and before an
Producing him Mrs. Danforth called
to the platform his mother. formerly
a president of the State Federation,
and then introduced the speaker as
a son of the Federation now at the
head of our State.
He said that he had been going to
club meeting for years and consider
ed it a privilege, and announced That
this was the best looking crowd he
had ever addressed.
The capacity of women for CO.
operation has been demonstrated by
the virility of the Maine Federation
of Women's Clubs by gathering
strength through the decades that
have passed since it's founders with
prophetic vision mapped out its path
Of civic service and educational ad-
yancement for our State. To-Day
through every fibre of our State there
runs a devotion to the common good
that is. to some extent, the fruition
of the faithful efforts of organiza-
lions such as yours, concerned with
the betterment of their communities
and their State.
In Florida the club houses OF the
Women's Clubs are civic centers
from which emanate many and vari-
Gus wholesome movements. one OF
the most delightful receptions at the
Governors conference recently held
in Florida was in the club house OF
the women of Orlando, where the
State Federation was at that time In
session. :,
To the extent that we can all
merge our efforts for a harmonious
whole. still retaining proper en-
phasis on those things with wnlcn
each Is primarily concerned. an Or
panization such as yours Will find It's
highest development and usefulness
both to itself and to others and will
constantly draw fresh strength and
yigor from the unselfish devotion OF
its efforts. This, after all, affords the
only permanent basis of union Tor

our State.
The long battle of the Maine Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs for regu-
Iations and restriction of the adver-
Using signs on the highways of our
State seems not unlikely now to at
tain its end, il all those citizens en-
dorsing such movement snaii
manifest their sentiment at this Tune
in no uncertain terms.
This is an object for which the
Maine Federation Of Women's Clubs
is peculiarly fitted to advance pom
nv their position and personnel. The
commercial value of such an esthetic
onpeal as the preservation of our
scenery Is being increasingly recog-
nized both within and without our
State.
Voluntary cooperation is being
recognized as the solution for many
of our economic and social ills. The
Maine Federation Of Women's Clubs
have demonstrated the capacity OF
the women of Maine to combine for
worth while ends. This is a most
pleasant augury for progress with
the problems that lie ahead.
At it's close the State Pres, Mrs.
Danforth said "This speech is some
thing we can all take home ana en-
