Stitution Of Mississippi were the
program subjects for the Fort

Tuesday at the home of Mrs.
Walter Bader.
Everett Harper, guest speaker,
a Pascagoula attorney, chose for

traced the historical background
of this apportionment and said
that it had its roots in the recon
struction period, however, it was
legalized by the constitution OF
1890.
The solution oil the distribu-
ton would have to come through
an amendment to the constitu-
ton, he said.
During the business session pre-.
'ided over by the president, Mrs.
Ralph Crate, the club pledged
is support to the March OF
Dimes.
Mrs. Bader assisted by the CO.
