mon - something to do with
agriculture.
Some of the youth had an air
of uncertainty even though
they were trying to hide the inn
preston. For many this was the
first time they had ever been in
big town. Others had never rid
den on a train before. Others had
never stayed in a hotel before.
There were the boys from the
southern and western states. Some
of them were wearing wide brim
hats and high-heeled boots. Most
of the girls were wearing conven-
tional skirts and blouses. But it
didn't take much figuring to real
ize that they were a part of the
1900 lucky Alters who had
Travelled to Chicago to attend the
National All Club Congress.
Although I never had the op-
portunity of belonging to this
farm boy and girl club in my
earlier years, could almost feel
their pride and enthusiasm for
having been chosen for this trip.
How many of them, I wondered,
realized that the All Club move
ment was started 81 years ago in
Clark County, Ohio. And, too, that
the man who has been given the
credit for starting the organiza-
tion - A. B. Graham - is still
living.
1t wasn't long before young
people from many parts of the
free world passed before me as I
sat in the lobby, although the
membership in the All is confined
to the United States and the DOS
sessions. There were visitors here
from India, Japan, Great Britain,
France, Germany and many
others.
Out of this mass of young peo-
pie, it was easy to pick those
from Ohio. Each of them were
wearing a buckeye, conspiciously
displayed.
There were 26 delegates from
Ohio. All of them had done well
enough with their club projects
back home to warrant this trim
to Chicago.
There were six out of this Ohio
group who received national re-
cognition.
Marian Davis came from Co
shoCton County. Marian has been
a 4-H'er for eight years. Her IA
Vorite project was sewing. During
this past year she has made 76
garments and remodeIed 80. She
received a scholarship in 1949
which enabled her to attend a fine
arts school to study fashion de-
signing.
Then, in 1851, Marian was

Chief Mcclure
Warns On Safety
During Christmas

Don't let death take your holi-
day."
This appeal to local motorists
was made today by William Nc
CURE, Chief of Police, in pleading
for a happy holiday season for
everyone-with fewer traffic acci-
dents and deaths.
Although December is a month
recognized universally as the 'holi-
day month" he said, lit also
stands for the deadly MONTH This
is due to the fact that more people
are killed in traffic accidents in
December than during any other
month in the year"
Heavy holiday traffic, early
darkness and weather conditions
such as sleet, snow or rain were
cited as factors which combine to
make this a dangerous time of the
year for motorists.
To minimize these seasonal haz-
ards William MCGUIRE, Chief of
Police, urged drivers to reduce
speed on wet or slippery pave
ments to compensate for poor trac-
ton, to keep their windshield wip-
ers, defrosters and lights in good
working condition, to keep rear
windows free of snow and ice, and
to be prepared at all times for a
sudden emergency.
Let's all be sensible about the
business of celebrating this year" 1"
he added. Let's be determined to
stay alert every minute we're be-
hind the Wheel-keep our minds
strictly on the business of driving
take special precaution when
ever the weather warrents and
never drive after drinkinq!"
