[pteresting o flash back and pick
ip the high lights of its history
for revieew. 4
It was founded in 1935, and
s orgenized along the lines of
the Junior League of America.
iThere is NO dgoubt that the prom.
nence of the young women who
riginated the idea, and that of
its charter members plgyed a
orect part in the organization’s
cuccess from the start. These
Loung women had great ideas for
extensive humaniiarian ~ work,
and immediately set out to
achieve their ideals. They appoin
ted for themselves considerable
tasks, and approacheq them with
courage and determination.
That first year, with a mem
pership of twenty-two the . As

(st project to raise money for
Jocal welfare work. With the pro
ceeds from this their first case
was treated. He was a small boy
of impoverished parents, and
needed hospitalization. A bed was

The same year the Assembly

Athens merchants merchandise.
It was a town project with wide

great financial success. There

Gratifying Report |
The fifst annual report of the
velfare chairman was gratifying.
She described four tonsilactomy
wases, one tromboning case, and
cne littlé irl observed, treated and
wospitalized eight days for asthma
and exema. Children’s dishes for
use on hospital trays were pur
chased that year. |
Such a small beginning, but all
in the right direction. The next
vear or two produced charity
balls, carnivals, fashion shows.
ale of photographs, benefit
bridge parties, etcetera, and the
Assembly clearly stated that its
utimate goal was to outfit and
maintain a clinic. It was then
maintaining a children’s ward at
General Hospital, and in 1937 an
unusual guest arrived. Little
Herry | Day, an incubator baby,
weighing two pounds at birth,
was cared for and supplied a
specialipurse with Junior Assem
bly funds. Little Harry left the
hespital in splendid condition,
Sometime that year Dr. Wed
ford Brown, Clake County Health
Commissioner, appeared as guest
speaker at an Assemb]y meeting,
and outlined the Health Board’s
program and its needs. In 1938 &
coalition was formed between the
two bodies to operate a Well
Baby Clinic at 298 'Washix:glon‘
Street, with Drs. Linton Gerdine
and John A. Simpson in attend
ance. Its opening on December 7,
1934 was hailed by all of Athens,
and received whole page notice
in the Banner-Herald in an ad
paiq for by interested citizens.
Sixteen children were examined
thet first day, which was a fair
rrediction of things to come.
Children were found to suffer
mainly form malnutrition and
poor.living habits, and so began
2 still existing course of wise
counselling on healthful living.
Pre-Natal Clinic
Another milestone was reached
when the Pre-Natal Clinic for
white women was opened on
April 12, 1938. It rendered a long
reeded service for women un.

‘dred sixty children and 80
| parents were on hand to receive
their gifts anq sing carols. That
year 644 babies and children
were treated at the weekly clinics.
On March 24, 1942 the first
Dental Clinic was held in thel
Southern Mutual , Building, in
rooms offered by Dr. Charles El-
Id‘er, then serving in the Armad
Forces. This was the culmination
’of' high 'hopes of many public
spirited people of Athens, as well

‘dentist in town served . on his
‘clinic and the children were
referred through the schools.

critical thymus condition.

But_in April 1946 a point was
reacheq which surpassed all pre
ceeding triumphs, The organiza
tion had truly evolved from its
early elementary stage to a full|
grown philanthropic institution
|with a 4 program of wide range.
'The fruition of careful planning, !
hard work, and a lot of dreaming
wes reached when Mr. ang Mrs.
Max Michael, sr., presented the
beautiful Clinic Building in mem
ory of their son, Simon 11, who
gave his life for his country. Now
the Assembly had a home! It is
a thoroughly modern and fully
equipped building where all clin
i ice are held.
I Not only did the Assembly
| pledge itself to the betterment of
|health snd living conditions for
| the underpriveledged white peo-‘
ple in this community, but to a‘.ll
suffering humanity, regardless of|
race, color, or creed. Now a col- |
ored Well-Baby Clinic and a col- |
ored Pre-Natal Clinic are con-‘
ducted all year round.
The Assembly, through the
years of its adolescence, and now
its approaching maturity. has had
wonderful support from the town,
and its many agencies for good.
The people have been alert to its
needs, and the means of meeting
them. Fully assured of enthu.sias-l
tic support, the organization looks
forwarq to another success with |
{he Fashion Tea to be held at
Michael’'s on Wednesday, April
121 at four o’clock. : 1
| These highly diverting pro;ec_ts
have been regular occurrences in,
the life of the Junior Assembly,
eand on their success hinges the
great work at the Simon Michael
Memorial Building where a le
gion of people come weekly for
wise and friendly care. |

Max Michael Addressed Elijah Clarke
Chapter DAR At Meeting On Thursday
In the home of Mrs. J. W. Bai
ley, colorful spring flowers add
ed a note of beauty for the meet
ing of Elijah Clarke Chapter,
N. S. D. A, R, Thursday after
noon. Following the usual open
ing exercises, over which the
‘Regent, Mrs. Julius T. Dudley,
presided, Max Michael was
presented by Mrs. Leila R. Mize,
who cited especially the spirit of
warm friendship for which the
speaker of the afternoon is best
known., :
Having known President Frank
lin Roosevelt during college days,
‘Mr. Michael was well qualified
to interpret the accomplishments
of the administration, 1935-1945,
in terms of the subject, “The
American Spirit During the
Franklin D. Roosevelt Adminis
tration.” Mr. Michael told of the
depression, not only in the fi
nancial world, but also in the
hearts of the American pepole
when Mr. Roosevelt came into
office.
It was necessary to move defi
nitely and quickly to get results,
and this the President did, and it
is'but natural that mistakes were
made, in spite of the intent be
hind the planning, which in
cluded the small business man,
giving him as the “New Deal”
implied, a deal of new cards with |
which to play his game. “
President Roosevelt realized
the threat of war, and while de
siring peace, did everything pos
sible to prepare the country to
take care of itself. Leaders were
isolationists in their = tendencies,
and money for National Defense
could not be gotten, so W. P. A.
programs were begun, so that
minds and bodies could be fit
should .. an emergency arise.
Franklin D. Roosevelt has taken
his place as one of the great
humanitarians of his day, and
only the passing of the years will
rightly evaluate his aims and ac
complishments. _
Miss Carol Holt, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Holt of
Macon, Ga., accompanied by Mrs.
W. W. De Beaugrine, sang beau
tifully “Morning” by Oley
Speaks and ‘“‘Summertime” by
George Gershwin.
In presenting the cause of Nat
ional Defense, Mrs. Arthur Gan
non, Chapter Chairman, said that
all Chapter members are a part
of this important committee, for
when education in patriotism,
and holding to the best that his
tory offers, are a part of the
