Mrs. Palmer Jerman Ca I led The Silver Tongued Orator President \orth Carolina Federation Woman's Chilis H Vis Popular On Recent Trip To Club Meetings lleld it Palm Heaclt, Florida Ily MISS. J. IIKNKV UlCiHSMITH. <tmiriiiuii of Publicity of Woman** Clubs Representing the North Carolina Federation of Women'.* Clubs at th*' meeting of the Southeastern Council of Federated Club Women held re cently at Palm Beach. Florida. Mrs. Pointer Jerman was declared the "silver toiif?u?d" orator from North Carolina. After addressing the | Council on "Educational l.egis'.a- I tion" she was in demand as a speak- I er wherever there was an audience I assembled. She spoke no less than six time*. Her speech In-fore the 1 Kiwanis Club of Palm Bench was on the subject. "Cooperation between Men and Women in Civic Organiza tions." On addressing the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs which met in conjunction with the Council Meeting, her subject was "Club Women's Interest in Government." Mrs. Jerman makes the following re port of the Council Meeting.: "The Southeastern Council is composed of representatives from the eight southeastern states and correspond in nature to other such sectional groups all over the L'nited Stutes which meet annually. Its purpose is to further the objects of the General Federation, to strength en by acquaintance and fellowship the ties linking those of one com mon part of the country. Last year it met in Pinehurst. This year It convened in Palm Beach, Florida, with representatives from five southern states In attendance". The subject of the entire meeting was "Our Three-fold Responsibility? Health, Education and Recreation," All the states federations have pro grams on these subjects and this interstate discussion brought out much, that was helpful. It was a matter of - satisfaction to the North Carolina delegates that our State stood with the most progresslve_Jn amount of work accomplished, and in the scope of program undertaken. The Council lasted only two> days, but those two were crowded to the limit with work. However, there were enough social pleasure to pro vide' relaxation. One of the most interesting of these occurred before the meeting when the Dade County Federation invited the Council to be Its guests for the week end at their club house in the Royal Palm State Park, forty miles south of Miami. Down on Paradise Key, the tip end of Florida, the State Federation owns four thousand acres of land of which they have made a park for the preservation of the beautiful Royal Palms, the wild jungle of Florida's original growth, and a sanctuary for the tropical birds. In the heart of this they have built a club house, with accommodations for about thirty five guests at a time. We drove from Miami by automo biles and it was like being trans ported to a foreign land for the trees and vegetation on this key are en tirely different from that of the rest of the State, being West' Indian In nature. The theory of the scien tists is that in some remote time it must have been submerged by a tidal wave, which receding, left the suds of a different land. The club women of Miami had gone on ahead of the party and welcomed the Council with everything Florida had to offer and perhaps 'these days at this beautiful club house in the henrt of a tropical Jungle will linger longest in the memory of the guests. The good fellowship developed in the intimacy of this close association started the Council meeting proper, with the comradshlp of friends. From Miami we motored to Palm llemh. a wonderful drive by thf* sea and with the Atlantic breeses as soft as June. It was hard to believe It the last of November. In Palm Beach, there were ban-! quets. luncheons and drives In be iwrrn business sessions and we all agreed that, the hospitality of the Florida club women had never been surpassed. At the adjournment of the Southeastern Council the Flor ida Federation convened and most of the members of the former stayed, over a few days to see this body. It proved to be a wonderfully effi-j clent group of women doing fine things for the state. They have developed the Idea of "County Fe'd-j erations there, making a small com pact district that seems to be get ting results. Among the outstand ing lm|iri's^lon? 1 brought away was the fact thai almost every town In Florida, both large and small, has a woman's club house. Prom the max nif:cieut club house in Palm Uwch, fronting on Lake Worth, to the frame structure of a small country community center, the woman's club houses ar.' everywhere functioning us a vital |>irt of Florida's develop ment." The official volume of the prize winning stories and po? ins that were eutered in the literary contests held under the auspices of the North Car olina Federation of Women's Clubs, from 1915 to 1923. have been com piled for publication by Mrs. S. E. Leavltt of Chap* 1 Hill. Mrs. Leav itt advises that the book, which Is now in the press. will be ready for Christmas delivery. It will contain about forty selections on 300 pages and will sell for $2.00. The title of the book is "Stories and Poeius from the Old North State." Mrs. Leavlttj announces that she is now ready to receive orders. She says: "It was voted at the Convention! .to ask eacljr club to be responsible for the sale of five copies of the hook and the large clubs are expected to dispose of many more. As this is the first effort to publish a volume of selections written by North Caro lina club women we urge your hear ty support and a prompt placing of orders that we may be able to deliver the books to you in time for Christ mas remembrances. . The time is short and it will greatly expedite matters if your committee makes its canvass at once, forwarding the club order on the enclosed blank. Let jus make this the official gift of club women this year." WAKE FOHEHT RECORD IS It KM ARK A RLE ONE Wake Forest.
