very wide area in which several
large schools carrying on various
activities are located.

doing outstanding work, particular

civic and political affairs as well

The clubs which did not send
delegates to our District Spring
meeting which was held in Wind
sor, N.C. missed a splendid chance
to participate, in our best session.
The general discussions, the musi
cal selections, the youth numbers,
together with the feature address
delivered by Mrs. J. T. Peyton,
Virginia’s past president made up
a most interesting and enjoyable
program. Progress was reported
in many areas. Another highlight
of the meeting was the decision
to make a seventy-five dollar gift
to our state body to be distributed
between the Braille, Scholarship,
and Youth Funds. We hope many
will be present at our next ses
sion to see how much has been
accomplished this year and to re
ceive more inspiration.
