Judge Matthew'S Says
|Woman's S Battle for
Equal Rights Continues

Women's battle for equal rights
under the law Is far from won In
the opinion of Mrs. Burnita Shell
ton Matthews, first woman ap-
pointed to District Court judge
ship.
In her first public appearance
since her appointment by Presi-
dent Truman last week, she told
fellow members of Omicron Chap
ter of Kappa Beta Pi last night at
Hotel 240O that gains in removing
legal inequalities against women
have not lessened the need for an
equal-rights amendment to the
Constitution.
This struggle of women" she
predicted, will come to be con-
sidered an epic in the effort Of
people for human liberty"
Refers to Own Positions.
Mrs. Matthews referred briefly
to her position as a designated
judge Of the District Court here
The appointment. she said. was
due entirely to the fact that
women throughout the country
have wanted representation"
Women also want and deserve
a constitutional guarantee of equal
rights under the law. she declared
Although the Constitution does
not discriminate against women
she explained. much theory and
practice still cling to the old COM
mon law idea that woman is SUBJ
ordinate to man.
1--WE have made great progress
in many fields such as changes in
the nationality laws. voting
privileges, and property laws" she
said. Every change in law relat-
ing to women has required a
tremendous amount of work. But
very often after these advances
other discrimination get into the
law. An equal-rights amendment
TO the Constitution would stop
that and secure equality of legal
rights for women so far as they
can be secured by law"
Predicts Congress Action.
Predicting that Congress next
year will give favorable considera-
ton to such a resolution, Mrs
Matthews urged women mean
while to support other moves. She
mentioned in particular a pro-
posed procedure whereby women
as well as men could transmit ma
tionality rights to their children
Mrs. Ida D. Ais, dean OF
Omicron chapter, presided at the

was introduced by Miss Marguerite

Boyle Tells Women
They re Responsible
|For Truman Election

Surrounded by women last
night. William M. Boyle, jr.. Dem
ocratic National Committee Chair
man, told them they "are re-
sponsible for the election of Harry
Truman as President"
Mr.. Boyle's more than $50 host
esses. members of the Woman's
National Democratic Club. ap-
plauded loud and long when the
dinner speaker continued:
THE Democratic party shall
continue to see that qualified
women are appointed to Govern
ment positions.
During the last election, Mr..
Boyle said. there were 100000
more qualified women voters on
the books than men. A total OF
II women have received major
appointments and reappointments
by the President. he added, citing
Mrs. Georgia Neese Clark, United
States Treasurer. and Mrs. Bur-
nita Shelton Matthews. District
Court judge.
1T is the hope of the party that
1850 will see more women in
Congress. Mr. Boyle said. Women
are aware of the significance be-
hind the aims of the Democratic
party-Federal aid to education,
health, the farm program. social
security and civil rights" A new
concept of his party, sectional
meetings such as that to be held
in Boston on November 20 and
21. was praised by the chairman.
The problems of the New England
States will be discussed at this
regional conference, he empha-
sized, adding that principal one
is their need of power.
After his informal talk and
the introductions of his wife and
two daughters, Mr.. Boyle noticed
the late arrival of Secretary of
Agriculture Brannan and shouted: ::
Come up here and tell these
people about the Brannan farm
program. I just mentioned it,"
The Secretary, however, told a
story about two frogs that fell
into a cream bucket. They
wouldn't give up trying to get
out and just kept swimming
around. -,.
Finally they churned around so
much that pretty soon both were
sitting on big chunk of butter"
MIR. Brannan said, land Bill, after
all your work-that's where you're
justly sitting"

TchuIa Garden Club Strives To Serve
Interest OF Town; Memorial Planned

The Tchula Garden Club was
organized in December 1888 with
Mrs. H. B. MCGEE, ST., president.
Since that time those who have
served as president are: Mrs. N.
B. Parrish, Mrs. Henry Waterer,
Mrs. w. R. Huddleston, Mrs. ]. E.
Cunningham and Mrs. W. E.
Jones.
The object of the club is to
bring together the women of this
vicinity for mutual pleasure and
for cooperation of interests in the
promotion of formal culture and
general civic improvement and
Identification.
The club joined the National
Federation of Garden Clubs in
1887.
Each year since its organization
the club has sponsored at least
one civic project. Among these
have been: aid to the school
lunch room, Identification of the
school grounds by planting mag
nolias and roses, planting a small
park along tht highway and many
others.
The club has, endeavored to fur
Their beautify our town by spon-
soring the planting Of Paul Scar
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1949-10-13

The club has enjoyed many
prominent out-of-town speakers
on various subjects: MI. Holmes
| of the State Highway Department;
Mr.. Mckay from State College,
on bugs; Mrs. Eta Bradford from
Inverness, on Peonies and many
others.
The Garden Club Christmas Tea
has become an annual event. At
that time gifts or cash donations
are sent to a charitable organiza-,
ton. These gifts have been sent
to the Old Ladies Home. Last
year two packages were sent to
CARE, and this year our gift
will 60 to the Leper Colony.
The Garden Club is now spon-
soring the building of a fountain
in Memorial Park, honoring those
who answered the call to mill
tary service.
This is by far the biggest pro-
ject ever undertaken by the club
and has been made possible by
the untiring efforts Of Mrs. w. E.
Jones, President 1947-49, and the
generous donations of the people
of Tchula and adjoining conn
munities.
The club now has a member
ship of thirty-five, with the fol-
lowing officers: Mrs. James E.
Cunningham, ST., President; Mrs.
W. G. Gwin, Vice-President; Mrs.
M. E. McKibben. Secretary, and
Mrs. B. B. Brannon, Treasurer.
Under their leadership, we expect
to finish the War Memorial, land
scape the park and finish all re-
quired projects.
The Garden Club is not just a
social organization, but one with
purpose.
We, as Garden Club members,
have a duty and service to give
to our community and state. Let
us give acceptable service in
whatever task is set before us.

let roses in every garden. We have
also sponsored a negro community
improvement contest. Each
spring and fall, the club has held
a Flower Show, that has created
interest among the flower growers
of the community.
During the war the Garden
Club held a Victory Garden Show,
sent donations to the Jackson Ali
Base for Identification of the
grounds, and made kits for the
soldiers.
The Garden Club has received
the State Achievement Award FOR
the past three years and the year
book has been awarded a ribbon
for the past five years. Among
the most priced possessions of the
club are the scrapbooks. These
show the activities of the club
throughout the years.
The Garden Club has made the
community conservation conscious
through programs and projects.
Among them were a lecture by
Miss Carrie Avent of the State
Audubon Society, and a bird
house contest for the school chill
dren.

Two New Oil Fields
Named In State

Names for two new Mississip-
pi oil fields were announced this
week jointly by the State Gas and
Oil Board and the Mississippi
Geological society.
One decision ended a contro-
versy over Greene county's first
discovery; the other involved a
name for the fifth field in Adams
county, discovered last week near
Wilkinson county line.
After considering protests OF
residents of Sand Hill, a small
community in northwest Greene
county, oil and gas supervisor II.
M. Morse announced that the
board had agreed that the name
of Humble Oil and Refining COM
pany's discovery near there
would be called Sand Hill field"
That name had been selected
by the nomenclature committee
of the biologists society, which IN
the past has selected all field
names, choosing each time the
name of the town, village or COM
munity nearest the discovered
well. The board at first rejected
Sand Hill as a name in this case,
since several wells drilled in that
area had been called the "Piave
prospect" Biologists pointed out
that Sand Hill was only a little
over a mile from the discovery
while the town of Piave was five
miles away.
When Mr.. Morse declared that
"Sand Hill" was not shown on
his Greene county maps, and that
the only Sand Hill in the postal
guide was in Rankin county, re-
sidents Of northwest Greene
pointed out that the community
had been there for years, has sew
eral stores and churches and a
well known consolidated school.
They added that the late Senator
Pat Harrison started his teaching
career at the school. In view OF
all this evidence Mr.. Morse gave
in and the board adopted Sand
Hill as the field name. The dis
covery well was Humble's F. J.
Hubbard No. l and further tests
are already scheduled nearby.
Elleslie field was picked by the
biologists and approved by the
board for the fifth Adams county
strike, announced last week. The
discovery well is the G.. w. Arm
strong No. l, drilled by Solo Pc
troleum : Hunter Jones Kemp
Drilling company, jointly. About
II miles south of Natchez, it was
named for the Elleslie plantation
community, established nearby
many years ago.
