as speaker on Monday evening, Judge
John Barton Payne, National Execu-
tive Chairman of the American Red
Cross, who told in very interesting
way of the relief program that is be-
ing carried out by the organization of
which he is the head. At the close
of his address he graciously answered
a number of questions relating to the
work of distribution, which gave an
insight into the workings of this great
philanthropic movement, and which
Judge Payne is carrying forward at
no expense what ever to the organi-
zation insofar as he is personally
concerned as he draws no salary and
furnishes his own stamps and sta
tionery at his own personal expense.
Judge Payne was introduced by
Rev. Phillips, of Kingwood, w. Va.
He had spent several days previously
to coming to the Park visiting among
relatives and friends in Taylor and
Preston counties, West Va, where he
had spent his boyhood days and his
early manhood.
The cause of Prohibition, which is
so much before the public today, was
fearlessly and forcefully espoused by
DR.. James A. Crane, Secretary of the
Board of Temperance and Social We'll
fare of the Church of Christ, with
! headquarters in Philadelphia, who
made an address on Sunday night, and
Mrs. johnson, who spoke on the 18th
Amendment on Wednesday evening.
DR.. Crane presented many facts
to prove the fallacy of the arguments
made by the wet forces against Pro-
hibition and to show how greatly the
conditions have improved since this
protective amendment has been in eff
feet.
Mrs. johnson told Of the tactics re-
sorted to by the vets in the recent
political conventions which she at
tended as vice-chairman of the Wo-
mems National Committee for Law
Enforcement, of which Mrs. Henry
W. Peabody is chairman, and the total
disregard for law or government dis
played the element that is working
for the repeal of the 18th Amendment.
Neither speaker minced words, and
during the course of their addresses
they were applauded many times.
Mrs. Johnson, as vice-chairman of
Mrs. Peabody's committee, will no
doubt prove to be as great power
and influence in the defense of prohi-
bition as she has been for many years
in the furtherance of the missionary
cause.
The addresses on prohibition were
given under the auspices of the de-
partment of Temperance and Mis-
sions, of which Mrs. Nina M. Hardy,
of Morgantown, w. Va, is chairman.
DR.. Harriet B. Jones, of Glendale,
w. Va, gave a splendid talk on Chris
tian Citizenship on Tuesday morning
in which she stressed the Importance
of being informed on the duties of
citizenship and then making the prop
er use of this knowledge in working
and voting for candidates who will
not only enforce the laws but keep
them inviolate themselves. She closed
with citizenship drill that was very
helpful.
Musical Features
One of the delightful and enjoya-
BILE events of the week was "Com-
munity Sing," conducted by Miss Sara
B. Huff, of New York, who thoroughly
understands the art of getting folks
to sing together. Illustrated song
slides were used and the large audi
ence entered into the spirit of the
occasion with great zest.
Every evening the girls from Camp
Clean, under the direction of their
! leader, Miss Anna Shaw, of Balti-
more, made up the regular choir, and
the vested choirs of the Oakland
church, The Nightingales, with their
director and accomphnist, Mrs. D.
Edward Offutt and Mrs. D. R. Sim
cell, also the st. Cecilia choir, ap-
peared on several programs. Others
whose musical numbers added so
much to the programs of the week
were Mrs. Mealy, of Oakland; Mrs.
w. T. Bartholomew, of Mountain
Lake Park; Homer Wainer, of Elkins,
West Va, and Bond Weber and Mrs.
Offutt, of Oakland; Mrs. Wayne Mar
tin, of Uniontown, Pa; and her sister,

c.; Mrs. E. C. Rowand, of Fairmont,
w. Va, and DIR. Claude H. Goodwin,

Mrs. E. w. Yates, as chairman of
music, was always on hand to preside
at the piano, direct the music, re-
hearse with the singers or to fit in
wherever needed.
AS chairman of the school for the
past year, 1 am deeply grateful for
the loyal support given me by all
of my co-workers and officers, all of
