Covington- Convention City

by MRS. JAMES C. LAYNE

At long last Covington, Dixie's Gateway, welcomes the Kentucky Federation of Wo­ men's Clubs. In 1900 the Convention was held in Covington, in the Parish House of 'Trinity Episcopal Church, just around the corner from the 4th Street Presbyterian Church, where our meetings will be held May rSth, 19th, 20th and 21st, 1938; at which time Mrs. William S. Perkins, a beautiful and brilliant Covington woman, was State President. The 15 clubs in the Fifth District are acting as hostess for this Convention of 1938. Once upon a time Nat Goodwin won $100 from a fellow actor when he wagered him he knew of a city of some 70,000 in­ habitants without a hotel. That condition need not disturb one for our business meet­ ings will be held at the above mentioned FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Church and our headquarters will be the Netherland Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati, just placed there by the federated clubs in five minutes apart.

Candidates

Her club and many friends feel that she will not only fill the office for which she is proposed with distinction, but that she will represent Kentucky in the General Federa­ tion in a most acceptable way. Mrs. Carroll is the wife of an attorney of Shepherdsvllle, and the proud mother of a son and a daughter. With the same pleasure and pardonable pride the Somerset Chautauqua Club pres­ ents Mrs. Richard G. Williams for First Vice-President. Her club is fully aware of her ability to fill this office as she has held every position in that club and has served two terms as president. She is an experienced club wo­ man and a leader in the social, religious and civic activities of this section of the State. Mrs. Williams has always been interest­ ed in the fine arts and before her marriage studied violin under Tirindelli at the Cin­ cinnati Conservatory of Music. For the last MRS. T. C.

Today it seems that the most important thing before every citizen in this civilized world is the question of peace and neutral­ ity on one hand, or war on the other. Our work in this department has been to con­ stantly further education for peace and show the futility of war. We have urged our women to study carefully our neutral­ ity laws and the methods used to bring about war, which always bring huge profits to a few. Regardless of the world situation today, we can not give up the struggle for peace, and must carry on, en­ couraging the club members to study the international questions, and at all times MRS. H. V.
