Court St. Augustine. No. 23, the se- !
nior Catholic Daughters of America j
Court of Florida, has grown and j
flourished, and it is with pride we j
can look back to when the court |
was instituted by the Daughters of
Isabella of Savannah. Ga., on Febru
ary 5, 1905. The Daughters of Isa
bella were later called the Catholic
Daughters of America.
During the past years the Catho
lic Daughters of America as a whole
have made wonderful strides
throughout the United States. The
state of Florida contributed to this
advancement by the organization of
many splendid courts.
Three years ago Court St. Augus
tine purchased its own home, which
represents an investment of about
$26,000.00. The building is a fine
structure, surrounded by attractive
gardens where palms, hlbuscus, bou-
gainvilla, and oilier tropical plants
grow in lovely luxuriancy. During
the winter season we conduct “At
Home" gatherings for the visitors to
the city. The register from these in
formal” social afternoons shows a long
list of friends from every section
of the country, who have carried
back' stories of the warm hospitality
and cordial spirit of the Catholic
Daughters of America.

CHICAGO.—A survey of the cir
culation field of Catholic publica
tions shows that conditions relating to
subscription solicitation are vastly
improved, it was reported at the
quarterly meeting of the Circulation
Vigilance Committee of the Catholic
Press Association, held at the La
Salle here Friday. With the present
machinery of the committee, it was
declared, only the exercise of ordi
nary prudence on the part of sub
scribers is necessary to protect them
against loss. Letters were read from
members of the Hierarchy endorsing
the committee’s work and pledging
their support.
Reports of the Committee’s cam
paign from various parts of the coun
try were presented showing the Com
mittee’s slogan, “Look For The Seal,”
is being accepted in many quarters
as the watch-v/ord in protecting
Catholic periodical subscribers against
the depredations of dishonest sales-
folk. This slogan refers to the use
of the Committee’s seal on credentials
of subscription solicitors when ap
proval is given after careful investi
gation of their records by the Com
mittee's Central Bureau at Chicago.
It is affixed by the Bureau on cre
dentials which are limited to 60 days.
As a further protection for their
subscribers, periodicals cooperating
with the Committee are furnishing
printed numbered receipts, it was ex
plained. The Committee- is advising
subscribers to insist upon getting
such receipts for their subscriptions
and to sec that salesmen with whom
they deal have credentials bearing
the committee’s seal, it also was re
ported. It is further urging the Cath
olic people to report all irregulari
ties to the Committee’s Central Bu
reau, Room 703. 180 W. Washington
Street, Chicago.
A vote of thanks fl-as tendered to
the Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDevitt,
D. D., Bishop of Harrisburg, chair
man of the Press Department of the
N. C. W. C. News Service and its sub
scribers for their willingness to co
operate with the committee. Plans
were made for a continuation of an
intensified campaign to acquaint the
Catholic clergy and laity with the
committee’s program.
