TIMELY NEWS ARTICLE
FROM METCALFE WRITER
W. C. T. U. LEADER
FLAYS MODERN WOMEN
Sydney, N. S. W. Nov. 28.-
t Mail)—The dress and morals of the
woman of today were censured bj
Mrs. Grant Forsythe, in the presi
dent's address at the annual con
vention of the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union.
"We deplore many of the
customs and habits that have crept
into women’s lives,’’ she said, "The:
too free v manner and caifelesif
immodest dress, the inelegant, slangy
language, the cigarette-smoking
wine-drinking, the betting and gamb
ling that are as meat and drink to
many, if not to the majority of
girls—all are signs of the times. We
dare not leave them unchallenged.
Some of the evils could be recetified
by legislation; some only by example
and teaching. Women’s place still
begins in the home, and there we
must look for the remedy.
Mrs. Forsythe said that she looked
forward to the time when the legis
lature would give the people an
portunity of expressing their opinion
on the liquor question, "and when
our intelligent men and women would
study the question of prohibition with
unbiased minds.’’
The convention voted to ask the
federal government to introduce
legislation in Australia which would
give married women the right to
tain their British nationality on
g marriage with an alien. Other
recommendations urged that Aus
tralian repfesentativ^s at the Im
perial Conference should endeavor
to have legislation of this kind mads
in form throughout the Empire.
The secretary said that many wo-
men did not realize that if they
married a foreigner, they adopted the
. nationality of the husband and would
V have no claim upo n an English
consul abroad in the event of trouble.
BERLIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
NOW FORBID BOXING
Berlin, Nov. 29—(By Mail)_
Boxing has been forbidden in the
public school buildings of Berlin. In
announcing the prohibition, the
municipal board of education gave
no reason for the decision simply
notifying the rectors that the
gymnasiums could no longer be used
for this form of sport.
Organizations which have been
conducting the contests have, i n some
caa^s, be forbidden further access
to the buildings. In other instances
the societies are Inaugurating sub
stitute exercises. - The'Berlin Boxing
Union has taken steps to have
Metcalfe, Ga., Dec. 19.—With the
editor’s permission, wc want
first of the matter nearest our heart.
The writer has just returned from
Atlanta, where he held conference
with leaders on agriculture relief
legislation, and we can say with
certainty that the prospects
brighter right now than they have
been in the last three years,
entire country in begining to see the
position of the farmer and tt is just
a question of time now, before i
arrangement will be made whereby
the producer will be able to
living price for his crop. The main
obstacle now is the fact that farmers
are so slow to take advantage of c
operative marketing, President Hard
ing has told how the government is
handicapped because we ai
organized, that we must help the gov
ernment to help us. It is as plain t
day that unless we do organize, all
the small and middle class farmers
will be choked out—then the Mil
lionaire land owners will take ad
vantage of the opportunities we pass
ed up.
Arrangements are being, perfected
for the big Christmas tree, at the
Baptist church on Friday night, Dec.
22nd. Mrs. L. D. Ferguson, chai*
man of the program committee and
Mrs. W. L. Hay, chairman of tha
decorating committee, are working
out all details and they are being
loyally supported by a corps of Sun
day school leaders from both church
es. The entire community is inyited
to attend and put presents oi
tree. The decorating committee will
be at the church Friday afternoon,
from two to five o’clock for the
receipt of these presents and they
adk that everybody send them at
this time in order to avoid any last
minute rush. Every member of the
two Sunday schools will give a pres
ent, this demonstrating the lesson
that it is more plessed to give than
to receive.”
A gang of amateur burglors ’
operating here Saturday night, break
ing into the stores of G. A. Thomas,
Home Brothers, L. D. Ferguson, the
Postoffice, and the commercial
Bank. Efforts were made to one
safe at each place but these attempts
were feeble and unsuccessful. Noth
ing of value has been missed from
either place, but all the safes, i
cept at the Bank, were so badly
battered that an expert will be i
quired to open them. *
