Grafton Of Citizens Associations may
not know It yet, but a woman re-
Gently has joined the ranks who
probably can match any of them
when 1t comes to having q varied
career.
She d . lawyer, social worker
and at one time was manager and
general counsel Of a large planta-
ton down IN Georgia. The new
delegate Is Mrs Olive G. Faircloth,
who was elected the first Of this year
from the Cathedral Heights Cleve-
land Park Citizens Association to
take the place Of Comdr. Alexander
Macomb.
In the months that lie ahead Mrs.
Faircloth will undoubtedly take an
active part in the work on public
welfare problems. And she Is no am
ateur In that field. She has been
associated with the Board of Public
Welfare Of the District for a num-
Der Of years. first working on juve-
nile cases and now engaged in de-
termtning the legal residence Of
mental patients at st. Elizabeth S
Hospital as well as the financial
status Of patients or of their rela-
tives.
On Welfare Committee.
Mrs. Faircloth has been named to
the Health and Welfare Commit
tee Of the Federation. She said she
believed that the Welfare Board
needed additional funds and per-
sonnel, arguing that it could then
do a better protective job and IN
the end save money for the District
taxpayers.
Born In the District, Mrs. Fair
cloth was graduated from Western
High School and then went for one
year to the Maryland College for
Women to gain A. B. credits before
entering George Washington Uni
versity Law School. Following grad
uatiorl from law school, she practiced
for several years, with Offices in the
Bond Building which she still main
tains. Her father is also lawyer.
Then Mrs. Faircloth went to a
3,500-acre plantation in Georgia to
become manager and general coun-
sci. One of her jobs as counsel was
representing the hired help when
they got in trouble It was just
about a public holiday in Americus,
where the Sumter County Court
house was located, when 1t was
learned that a woman lawyer was
going to try a case. The particular
case that caused the excitement, 1t
seems, was one in which one Of
the plantation workers had shot bis
sweetheart. Thanks to careful gath
ering of evidence by Mrs. Faircloth,
the worker was only fined.
Mrs. Faircloth said she enjoyed
the work on the plantation, where
she used to get up at m, along
with the workers. It still have a
weakness for the place." she re-
marked.

1t was while in Georgia that Mrs.
Faircloth met her husband, who at
that time was an accountant on
the plantation. They have a num-
ber of common interests, including
civic work, and he is now treasurer
of the citizens association. He was
graduated from the National Law
School here in 1888, is a member
of the District Bar and employed
at the General Accounting Office.
Although not a delegate, he at
tends the Federation meetings with
his wife. Both have completed a
first-aid course also.
