Met in Greensboro.

Creation of public sentiment for
, preservation of democracy is the
chief duty of women today and
the best way clubwomen may

speaker for the morning Mrs. I.
V. Moore, of Miami, Fla, general

SNUG; we talk to each other about
preserving democracy but take no
steps to give information to the
masses, who will really decide
wether or not democracy shall be
preserved" declared the national
officer, whose subject was 'Wo-
mans Part in Americas Future"
eff we are to compete with the
methods of dictators, then, say,
use some of their methods to sell
democracy to our people" She
urged using every instrument at
hand to ':sell democracy"-drama-
tization of democracy, opening of
the schools for night forums and
participation of youth in the
forums.
