Indiana Clubs to

Be Hostesses

Education, Head Urges ‘Freedom Forums’ To Counteraet Subversive Organizations

By ROSEMARY REDDING Times Special Writer FRENCH LICK, Ind, May 21.—The General Federation of Women's Clubs will hold its 1943 convention at the French Lick Springs hotel the May 10. Mrs. John L. Whitehurst, the national president, disselection of a meeting place today'at the convention of the

federation here. I. F. C. 1943 convention will

be held in conjunction with the na-

tional meeting but will be in session only the opening day. The Indiana group has known for some time that it was to be host for the national conclave but not the meeting place. More than 1000 women from all parts of the country will attend.

This year’s state convention was to end this afternoon with an address ‘by Governor Henry F. Schricker and a patriotic revue. * The initiation of ‘‘freedom forums” to strengthen understanding of public issues was advocated here last night by Mrs. H. C. Houghton of Red Oak, Iowa, education chairman of the G. F. W. C. Citing the G. F. W. C. as “the largest adult education organization in America,” she asked the clubwomen to take the lead in forming the forums.

Bring together all the people of your community tc discuss the many complicated issues of these times. “Call them ‘freedom forums’ where Americans may get to the roots of their problems with respect for facts without hysteria. Subversive groups are meeting throughout the country—let us at the same time have meetings which will prove an antidote to all groups trying to destroy our government. In totalitarian countries, the motto is ‘Believe, obey and fight’ In America it is ‘Read, discuss: and co-operate’.” She asked the women during the national emergency to stress four objectives: ‘Adult education, character training, vocational guidance and education for victory and peace.” Improve Schools

“Our best guarantee against any form of dictatorship is the maintenance and improvement of our educational system,” she said. “At a time when billions are being spent for defense, we must be very careful that there is no economy in our schools, cultural and spiritual institutions.” i She pointed out, however, that formal - education through high |

Voters’ League To Investigate Central Count

A study of the central vote count in Indianapolis will be undertaken by the local League of Women Voters as its summer project, according to Mrs. Lester A. Smith, who

. | has been re-elected president of the

organization. In a statement made at the

league's annual meeting yesterday, Mrs. Smith said that the women voters had watched with interest the operation of central count in the last two primary elections. “Believing that honest elections are the very foundation of democratic government,” she said, “we felt much concern over the slow ness of the count and the many criticisms directed against the method. We wish to peint out, however, that counting ballots in the precincts also was slow. “We are planning to review our study of the central count,” Mrs. Smith continued, “and will try to analyze what has happened here. The league will pay special attention to the question of whether or not the assistants appointed by the election board are qualified for this \particular job. “We have learned from past. experience that the best of laws cannot be operated successfully unless efficient employees are secured to put them into effect.”
