Know Your Career
Market Is BPW
Speech Theme
Miss CIuru Watson
Addresses Group
At Luncheon

Know Your Career Market"
was the topic used by Miss Clara
Watson at Tuesdays luncheon
meeting of Lexington Business
and Professional Women's club
at Alb Taylor Memorial home. Miss
Watson said today American wo-
men enjoy more privileges and
opportunities than anywhere else
in the world. but that if they are
to make progress in "the mans
world" they must get away from
the idea that the world owes them
a living.
Women receive their compensa-
ton for the actual work which
they accomplish, Miss Watson
said. The niche that>they occupy
in their life's work either makes
for their happiness or their sor-
row.
Miss Watson said business wo-
men should make an appraisal of
themselves and thei rqualifica-
tions, and should study their job,
if they are to advance. Personality
traits are as important as techni-
cal skills and knowledge. Among
those she said were listed by en-
ployers as important were: emo
itional stability, enthusiasm for
work, and sufficient knowledge to
carry on the work.
Mrs. J. r. Watson was program
chairman. Mrs. Robert Duke pre-
sided.
A group of high school girls,
! composed of Ida Kate Ship, Ann
| and Eleanor Patterson, Cecile
Mason, and Mary Arlyn Young
sang three numbers, accompanied
by Barbara Majors at the piano.
| Present as guests were Mrs. j.
G. Herbert. Mrs. Charles Elliott,
Miss Nora Pierce, Mrs. Hal Gil
liam, and Mrs. Kate Sample. Mem
bers of the VFW auxiliary served.

Tourist Trade Is
Theme For Speech
By A & | Official
G. L. Sueo Addresses
Group Al City HoII

"Cut yourself a piece of a 5000
million pie" was the theme of
an address by George Lemon Sugg
of Jackson, president of the State
Agriculture and Industrial board,
on the tourist trade in Mississip-
pi. Mr. Sugg spoke before a group
of interested Lexington citizens
Monday at City hall. Using a
chart he explained what the tour
list dollar can mean to all citizens
Of the state, and told how Pasca-
goula and Natchez are in a boom
period because during the de-
preston a small group of people
became interested in attracting
tourists.
Mississippi is not getting its
share of the $12 billion annual
tourist trade, Mr.. Sugg pointed
out. but it can, because it has fea-
lures no other state in the nation
has.
He said community conscious
ness and community cleanliness
would help to attract tourists;
also the geography and history of
the state should be learned, and
traditional hospitality should be
put to work.

Baptist Minister
Makes Plea For
Better Morals
Cites Europe As
Example At
Rotary Meeting

the topic used by the Rev. Paul
d. Bragg. pastor of Lexington
Baptist church, at the Rotary
luncheon meeting Tuesday. The
Rev. Mr.. Bragg quoted Roger
Babson, in saying it is the duty

at the meeting. Mrs. Doty Porter
accompanied at the piano.
Mayor Allie Povall explained
the concert association plans
which are underway, urging CO.
