Federation Vice President
Woman's Club Speaker
Shows Issues
Facing. Americans

The A. &. C,'s OF Totalitarian-
ism-apathy, beauracracy. an d
cynicism,- must be fought with
D. D. T.--decisi n, determination
and thoroughness." Mrs. r. Rich
ards Schweitzer. Norfolk. vice.
president Of the Virginia Fedora
ton of Women's Club. told men,
ters of the Farmville Woman S
Club at their annual luncheon
Wednesday at Longwood House.
TOO many OF us think Of the
government as "it' instead OF the
u. S. which is us" Mrs, Sch
Weltzer said. The tremendous
national debt of ours and those
who come after us. AS there are
two million more women than
men in the United States. today
women's responsibility is that
much greater" she declared.
She said that women must
think things through and find
out for themselves. She caution
ed against taking the words of the
commentators without examining
backgrounds and causes.
Times Have Changed
Times have changed but prin-
ciples have not Mrs. SchWeitzel
stated. We are a generation that
has conquered many things. which
have happened too rapidly and
too easily. We accept as our hertz
| age these things which we our
selves did nothing to aquire. In
maintaining our heritage we must
remember that there is no way to
legislate moral or spiritual values.
These we ourselves must realign
and reassess.'
The speaker said that We must
begin to curtail and too sacrifice
TO pay off our national debt.
One out OF seven people III the
u S. today is in the employ OF
the government. and ! everyone
works 81 days of the year for the
government. If the Truman bud
get is adopted they will work 80
days CT the year. and before long
it will take all OF the money Of
all Of us to pay for the cost of
government" Mrs Schweitzer
pointed out.
stop Demands
We must stop making de-
mands on federal funds and bring
the spending Of tax money back
to the localities where we can see
how it is spent" she declared.
Remember that even after the
tax collector gets it. it is still our
money"
Mrs SchWeitzer urged that Wo-
men take an active part IN poll
tics The position of women's
clubs in regard to politics has
changed she stated Instead of
being frowned upon it is now con-
sidered as the administration Of
public affairs"
She said that when municinal
how sekeeping is looked upon in the
light Of women'S qualifications
with the innumerable role they
must play as executives for their
homes and families, it will be seen
that they are we'll prepared to
participate in public affairs.
Look To Youth
She advised that bot. bows and
girls be inculcated With the re-
sponsibility and worth of citizen
ship in choosing careers in the
public service
We can't sit back and enjoy
ease and luxury i'll a world of
chaos" Mrs. SChWeltzer said in

have nothing TO fear but God"

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS

The 1853 series of cricket
matches played annually be-
tween the Wanderers, st. Adams,
Georges, st. Agnes, st. Demands,
the Westerns, the Vikings and the
Veterans Cricket Clubs for a
floating trophy offered by Sir
Bede Clifford some 20 years ago
when he was governor of the Ba-
hamaS, got under way on Fri
day, June rs at st. Bernard Park
when the hard hitting St. Adams
coached by the father of cricket,
Mr.. L. w. Lunn and captained by
Mr.. Jim Rodgers, gained ten
point victory over the Veterans
at the opening two innings match
Of the series.
The Wanderers, a team from the
police barracks, has been rein
forced by recruits from Jamaica
Barbados and British Guiana for
the Bahamas police force were
easy winners of the 1851 and 50
series. Because of insufficient
time to practice and to report to
duty after the game it is doubt
full wheather the Wanderers will
compete in this years series. THIS
is very regrettable as cricket en-
thusiaSts like the brand of cricket
by the recruits - Well
YOU can't play cricket unless you
practice and after chasing
leather in the hot sun for five
hours they are TOO tired TO mount
duty - too tired to use billy"
in case It becomes necessary in
an arrest. e

well and had accumulated enough
so he could retire and have about
$500 a month income which, for

cost of living, doctors bills, treat
