address the club by Program

count of the illness of the chairman,

ident H. E. Aderholt.
Mr. Aderholt complimented the
services Mr. Hardy has given the

hope that a fair and equitable tax
system will be evolved by the body

mer Conference at the Rabun Gap-

tains above Clayton. They were
Ruby Martin, Clara Nell Williams
and Barbara Doster. Altogether, we
have sent seven girls to summer
conference at this school this sum
mer and only one, Miss Ruby Mar
tin, is a Presbyterian. This does not
mean that we have plenty of money
and can afford to send these girls
to the mountains. In fact, we need
$400.00 to pay up the expenses in
curred in building the Sunday
School rooms, but we felt that such
an important step in the lives of
these young people should not be
omitted.
Mr. Thurman, our minister, was a
member of the faculty at the con
ference last week and he proved to
be a great help and inspiration to
all who attended, most particularly
the girls from our Sunday School.
During the past few weeks we
have received gifts and donations
for the Sunday School rooms from
the following people:
Jack Daniel, of Athens.
Miss Ruby Hancock.

the occasion of his birthday, to his
