Given Treaty Powers
By the Associated Press


Senator Pepper, Democrat, OF
Florida advocated today that execu-

replace Senate-ratified treaties in

majority approval of the Senate and
House, instead of the two-thirds
Senate vote required for treaty

DRIVE FOR CHILDREN'S
HOME SOCIETY STARTS
JULY 18TH

Mrs. Troy K. Sutherland Of
Clinchco has accepted the chair
nlanship Of the Childrenss Home
Society campaign in Dickinson
County, with the local drive
scheduled to be held Saturday,
July 18th.
During 1943, 100 new children
were accepted, SO of whom were
under one year of age. Many Of
these came into the care of the
Society Immediately after birth
because they were the babies Of
unmarried mothers who could
not accept responsibility for
them. A total of SITS children
were cared for last year.
Funds raised by the Society are
used to provide boarding home
care for these infants and other
children until foster parents who
will adopt them can be found or
until they can be returned to
their own parents or relatives.
The Society's budget for 1914
totals $121,4 65 and while this is
an increase of almost $4,000 ov-
er the expenses Of operating the
Society in 1943, the quota for
most local campaign will not be
increased due to the fact that the
1943 campaign raised $1,000
more than the expenses for the
year.

concealed by dark water oaks
and white sycamores that line
