Roosevelt's veto of the time ex-

feated by Congress.
1t was the first time since the
Presidents reelection that his
recommendations have met with
such complete reversal at the
hands of Congress. The veto in
the Senate to override the Presi'
dents veto was SO to IL, while the
House voted 1858 to 10 to overrule
the President.
Both Democrats and Republic,

TOAD YOUTH
BY MARY PADGETT
Times Club Editor

With gay music by an or

the United States Navy Band, ano
red, white and blue candles burn
ing on each table. festivities
reigned high at the annual spring
luncheon of the District Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs yesterday
at the Mayflower Hotel.
A highlight of the luncheon was
an inspiring talk by Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, who urged the
women to think into the future
and to visualize the problems OF
the present-day youth" Mrs
Roosevelt declared:
81 think we older people often
by our own fears bring about
a train of thought for our young
people that we should not start.
Nearly all young people are
lacking in confidence, 'hich
comes from a sense of insecurity
in themselves.
GIVE THEM VISION"
1--WE older people are reSpon-
sibIe-for it is what we expect
of youth that is important; it's
the vision that we have to give
them. They need all that we
have learned to help them to
start along a good road into the
future. Keep the vision before
young people that there isn't
anything to fear. Then we can
help our children have a new
pioneering era in creating new
Jobs, new ideas for things to
do"
Another speaker was Mrs
Roberta Campbell Lawson, Of
Tulsa, Okla, president of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
who said in part:
Mrs. Roosevelt has given us
an inspiring picture of our
obligation to young people.
There is no organization In the
world more capable of thinking
things through than the General
Federation of Women's Clubs,
and there is no subject dearer
to the hearts of the members
than youth and tomorrow"

 Physicians stand ready to improve and maintain children's health when parents bring them for per- iodic examinations, the director con- tinued. By taking them when they are infants, parents give the doc- tor a chance to immunize the child ren at the best time against dip- theria. smallpox and possibly whooping cough. At the time of the periodic examinations. the doctor gives advice on health habits, in- cluding those of eating and sleep- ing.
