|Savmg Om Youth
Called Task for
IL. s. CMb1VOmen
BY Gretchen Smith.

The greatest problem the Ma
tion's clubwomen can help solve is
Saving our YOUTH" Mrs. La Fell
Dickinson, president of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs,
declared yesterday.
Speaking at a meeting of the
Washington Club, one of the local
women's organizations unafiated
with the District Federation of
Women's Clubs, Mrs. Dickinson ex-
pressed her viewpoint as leader of
the 2,50O,000 members of the Gen.
eral Federation, of what women can
and should do to put their poten-
tialities behind constructive ma
tional program.
She told how the federation had
voted to use the $25,O00 now in its
treasury behind a Nation wide youth
conservation program to be initiated
next March.
1--WE call it youth conservation, "
she explained, instead of juvenile
delinquency, name we don't like u
The federation president said
that every club in the Nation would
be called on to assist in promoting
this program, designed to co-ordi-
nate all agencies, organizations and
societies connected with young peo-
pie and their problems. State COM
mittees will be formed from men,
bers of these different groups and
will be at the disposal of all State
Governors in dealing with problems
OF Importance to juveniles. The
YMCAs, the YWCAs, the Boy and
Girl Scouts and other such organi-
cations will be invited to partici-
pate in planning programs to make
the Nations youth healthier and
happier, Mrs. Dickinson explained.
Contributions will be invited to
take care of expenses now attached
to membership in certain youth
movements, she continued, enabling
both the poor and the rich to par
ticipate in their activities.
Several pointers" on what club
women can do to improve educa-
tional standards and contribute to
the spiritual progress Of themselves
and their children were given by
the speaker.
Women should concern themselves
with what their children are learn
ing in school, she continued. She
pointed out that at the outbreak
OF the present war a great majority
of college boys and girls were paci-
fistic and opposed to even such mill
itary manifestations as parades.
That pacifistic attitude was en-
couraged and taught" she declared
I'VE should not let that happen
again"
Clubwomen should concern them
selves also with the compensations
paid to school teachers, she added
as in many parts of the country
teachers are poorly paid" Women
should also stand by each other
more than they do, she asserted
particularly when they are holding
public office.
Finally, Mrs. Dickinson empha-
sized, the women of the Nation
should turn more to religion, seeing
that their children and grandchil-
dren are sent to Sunday school and

curing while mine repairs were in
progress. Another II per cent of the
benefit total paid to Out-of-State unem-
plOyei workers who had worked sufTi-
cient time i'm Ohio to qualify for bene-
fits, Administrator Jones said.

Among these men there have been

guilty of contempt of court for violat-

court

test the constitutionality of the license

regulation of labor unions is proper
exercise of the police power of the
state.
