chip of a beloved Athenian, Mrs. |
\[. A. Lipscomb. |
Every club in the state has been
2<ked to sponsor a public enter
ainment or benefit on that day as |
. climax o a year's celebration ot}
the establishment of an outstanding l
| example of advanced _pedagogical,
experiment in coordinated educa-l
tion whieh united practical train-‘
ing with all kinds of traditional
| “hook-learning.” ] ]
| “Head and Hand and Heart TO-l
cether” is the slogan of this school‘
which State Superintendent M. D.l
Collins says is “not only the ‘Lightg
% in the Mountaing’ but also a ]lghtg
of educational example to thei
schools of every other - part 01‘.
Georgia,” ‘l
True Vision :
Speaking on the same program
to the senior class of 1934, Chan
cellor Philip Weltner said: ‘“When
the school authorities of the state
of Georgia twenty-five years ago
iccepted from 'Georgia clubwomen
vour little school house with its 21
students and one teacher but with
its significant educational purpose,i
that great schoolman, Jere Pound,
said to those here ‘assembled:
Twenty years from this time a
school which teaches only what is
in books will be considered wcn'sel
than dead.
“Tis was indeed @ prophetic ut-l
terance and I cannot commend too
highly the wisdom, foresight, and
devotion to their state of Georgia
club leaders who have contrlbuted‘
this great argument for: the al
round development of every chlld.”‘
Georgia, clubs are planning wide
compliance with the following pro-1
clamation in which Mrs. H. B.
Litchie, president, Georgia Federa
ton Wiomen's clubs declares April
20 as “Tallulah Falls School Day”
for the Women's clubs of Georgia:‘
Issues Proclamation
“Whereas, this year of 1935 is!
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the‘
founding of Tallulah Falls school‘
by the Georgia Federation of Wom
en’s clubs, and |
Whereas, the years have shown‘
the depth of wisdom, the clear per
ception of the needs of the state,
and the great practical educational
plan of these early leaders in our
organization, and
Whereas, it is shown by the min-‘
utes of the Federation for the year
1910 that the first participation in |
the work for the school on the part
of the cliibs of the state was the!
result of a proclamation by Mrs. M.
A. Lipscomb naming April 20, 1910
as the day on which all clubs should !
glve a barbecue for the benefit oti
the school, and > ;
Whereas, it seems particularlyi
fitting that as a part of our Silver
Jubilee celebration we should re-l
beat these initial efforts for main
tendnce of the school, |
Therefore, by virtue of the powerl
vested in me as president of Geor-'
¢la Federation of Women’s clubs,
and in accord with the act of thel
tXecutive bhoard of the Federation |
and with that of the hoard of trus

diplomatic quarters as accusing
jthe powers at Stresa of suspect

“Rither one believes in under

STRESA — (#) — Italy, France

France in an appeal to the League
of Nations, declared perilous to
peace,
¥or the first time since the Paris
peace conference the heads of the
three great western European pow
ers—Benito Mussolini of Italy, Pier
re-Etienne Flandin of France, Ram
say MacDonald of England — met
face-to-face to talk over :Europe's
prospects for peace. g
These were the authoritatively
reported results: |
.1 A German offer to enter an
eastern non-aggression pact provid
ed she is exempt from any mutual
military assistance clause.
2. Decision to call Danubian na
tions into eonference at Rome May
20 to discuss way of keeping Aus
tria independent, ;
3. United support for France's
appeal to CGeneva against Ger

an air pact for immediate aerial

firmation was lacking, on:
1. A general European confer
ence after the Danubian parley.
2. A proposed eastern Mediter
ranean pact linking Italy, Greece,
Turkey and Yugoslavia.
France Compromises
Furthermore, France agreed to
soften her arraignment of Ger
many at the League of Nations
council session opening Monday,
this in return for Britain’s tacit
approval of the bi-lateral mutual
assistance pact she feels should
re-énforce any general security
system.

Covernors Study Situation
And Ask Federal Aid for

! By ROBERT GEIGER

GUYMON, Okla.—-{}li’)—Embat-:

homa panhandle choked amid new |
dust clouds Saturday, but few en~‘
tertained even a passing idea of
joining some 100 families who |
have left rented acreage for

“In one season, perhaps even

dust and wind. With a little mois

Wit hthe dust still centered in
this region of Oklahoma, there
was little or none flying in the
other sectors hit hardest in the

handle, southeastern Colorado,

western Kansas.
Dust rolled westward in Ari
zona Saturday, but reports from
Los Angeles said Pacific cross
winds stopped it 200 miles from
the California border.
At Topeka, Kas., Governor Alf

.~ TOKYO — (#) — Japan hmfi(
plainly Saturday that the United
States’ reported efforts to deprive
her of her Latin American mar=
keéts might cost the American cot
ton grower some of his big market
in Japan. i
A statement the foreign office
handed to the Japanese press said
United States commercial inter
ests were agitating to exclude Jap
anese products from Central and
South America. 3 g
If Nippon’s exports to those
markets are restricted, the state
ment added, *“it will affect our
purchasing power, especially with
reference to United States cotton,
and will consequently react. uns
favorably upon America’'s export
trade to Japan.” &
United States cotton sales to
Japan average some $1,000,000,000
annually. : &5

“account in their own way for the
