By LUCY W. NICHOLSON

they can!
The entertainment program for
the annual Friday evening dinner
js, as usual, in charge of the
women of the ‘association. Miss
Emily Woodward, founder of the
Georgia Press Institute, is to pre
side on this festive occasion.
Miss Woodward, when asked
this morning for a bit of advance
news in regard to this dinner,
given by the Savannah Morning
News and Evening Press, gave al
most as lengthy an interview as
the late ex-President Cooledge for
all she said was, “It's a secret!”
But she smiled and graciously
added, “You come and see!”
And thig is just exactly what all
members of the Press Institute
plan to do for they have been
guests in the past few years at
this evening of fun and frolic—
programs delightfully thought up
and carried out, such as only this
group of.women could do.
It is said that Miss Woodward
has asked some of the women
serving with her during the first
years of the organization of the
Elijah Clarke Chapter, D.A.R.
Prepares To Welcome National

held its February meeting Thurs
day afternoon with the Regent:
Mrs. W. A. Capps, in her hos
pitable home on Barber street
She was assisted in the honors of
the occasion by Mrs. Mildrea V.
Rhodes.
The meeting was called to order
by Mrs. Capps who presided in
her usual happy way. Mrs. Rhodes
gave the short devotional followed
by the Salute to the Flag. Reports
from the secretary, Mrs. Joel
Weir, and treasurer, Mrs. Dave
Miller, were made and approved.

But all is_ a mystery—no one
knows a thing except the commit
tee and no one even knows who
the committee is. There are
whispers of committee meetings in
Miss Woodward's room where the
plans are being perfected.
Miss Woodward announced in
the paper Sunday that this dinner
wag to be a gridiron affair—a
roasting, perhaps, of other mem
bers of the press institute other
than the women—it was suggested
that the men would not be given
the cold shoulder—they might
need asbestos suits! But as to
what is actually going to happen,
no one knows!
But one thing aill the members
know. The program will be far
from a serious affair—it will be
light, bright—positively scintillat
ing with wit and seasoned with
good humor! Thig program has
caused a ripple of excitement
since the wveiled and mysteriously
worded announcement by Miss
Emily Woodward—there will be
no vacant seats!

“We are judged abroad by al
variety of impressions,” said
Charles D. Hurrey, general secre
tary of the Committee on F‘x'iend-\
ly Relations Among Foreign Stu
' dents in North America, in his
leclure “America’s Impact Upon
' The Nations”, Tuesday eveningin
ithe University Chapel. He spoke
under the auspices of the Inter
‘national Relations Club.
| “In recent years, American
Itourists in Burope, have been for
the most part of the new-rich
]type. and the impression they
have made is that, though their
'pockets were full or money, they
had mostly ‘scrambled eggs’ for
lbraim‘," Mr. Hurrey said. “Our
commercial men, however, are
highly respected abroad, and the
American consular service, except
for a few incidences, has won
great esteem from other mnations.”
he added. He said, also, that
American soldiers and sailors had
made a favorable impression in
foreign ports.
Mr, Hurray especially .empha
sized the love and admiration
among foreign nations for our
American misgionaries. He told
of incidences, however, where
foreigners coming to this caun
try, hd met with treatment far
different from the Christian spirit
they had learned of from the mis
¢ionaries.
As for adverse criticism, the
speaker said our immigration laws
were regarded as unwise by many
people of other countries, and that
the fact we allowed pictures cen
sored in America to be shown
abroad had lowered foreign opin
ion of us. ¥ |
America {s praised, accordingto
Mr. Hurray, for its popular edu
cation, democracy, and its contri
butions to public health. Toeo, the
cooperative gpirit, manifested 6f-!
ten in many American communi
ties, he says, has been noted hy
people of other nations. ¥e add
ed, also, that we are Kknown
abroad by what we make; that
our manufactured gadgets—which
make for comfort lin the home
have advertised us to the world.
. Among the peaks of this lnter-|
national lecturer and traveler's
experiences abroad are a reception
by the Pregident of China in the
“Forbidden Palace” of Pe.king:l
conversations with General Aguin
aldo in his private library near
Manilla; glimpses of the Aborgi
nes of Australia and New Zealand
and a motor trip across Tasmania
During the World War he served
with the Italian Army and Wwas
under fire on Mt. Grappa and in

lations Club.

opinion that they will be removead

However, both claim tgt under
their constitutional offices they can
not follow Ttimadge's reasoning,
despite the fact that the governor
cited a ruling of Attorney General
Yeomans that their bondsmen
would not be liable if they made
permitted payments.
Hamilton says that when the
time comes, if the governor ousts
him, he intendg to go out only “at
the point of a bayonet.”
Talmadge has used the mnational
guard to remove a rebellious high
way board. He has ousted a five
man publiec service commission, a
state veterinarian and only re
cently the state forester wag re

It was generally believed the gov

Thursday night in the Conner
Hall auditorium.
“SQpil is the capital stock of the
farmers,” said Mr. Brown “ang it
gets to where it won't make
money if it is impared. I am
hopeful about the future of agri
culture. The path is not smooth
however as there are many pit
falls—the greatest is soil conser
vation.”
The situation of the soil problem
challenges the future farmers. The
youth of today will meet the chal

Mr. Brown.
“The Progressive Farmer” said
Mr. Brown expects to see that in
the future that the farmerg have
an equal chance with industry.
Farmers are going to get a
“square deal” in the worldof com
merce.
“The present agricultural situa
tlon in Georgia is much bhetter
than in 1932 stated Mr. Brown.
“In 1932 the farm dollar was
worth $.52 in terms of necessary
products that the farmer had to
purchase to make crops. The farm
;dollar rose to s£.9o in November
and December of last year.”
. “The total income,” concluded
'Mr. Brown, “in 1932 for farmers
’was around $100,000,000. In 1935
it increased slightly more than 100
‘Der cent. This came about by
less cotton and higher prices.”
The Ag club decided to except

‘ment's leaders had no desire to
I"a.ntagonize' any such ‘“favorite

) McGroarty, author of a measure
to pay up to S2OO a month pen
sions, declared “the plan is to 'send
a delegation to the Democratic Na
tional convention pledged to an
effort to secure adoption of a plank
in the national platform endorsing
the Townsend old age pension
movement.,”
“I know that the Townsend peo

movement whether Dr, Townsend
Fdoes or not., He is not a Demo
crat himself and I don't see why
he should interfere with it at all.
“Whether Le does or not we're
going ahead with it.”
| The “favorite son’ question also
came into Republican discussion.
Senator Borah, first to enter a
presidential primary, claimed to
have eliminated the favorite son
system of picking delegates to the
National convention.
Borah and his followers have
argued that the practice of picking
uninstructed delegates or delegates
who will vote for a “favorite zon”
at the start of the convention bat
tle enableg the “old guard” to swing
votes to a candidate of its own
choice later.
“It would seem from develop
ments,”” Borah said today, “that
‘tho fraud of favorite sons hag been
pretty well eliminated from the
‘campaign. They will finally, all
‘along the line, have to get out in
‘the open and tell the people who
their candidates are. This is go
ing to be an oupen campaign, if
anything I can do will make it gO,
on hoth issues and candidates.”
’ Governor Alf M. Landon of Kan

mained silent on the question of
entering the field against Borah in
Ohio. 55
