ETTY GIRLS TAKE .. C. SPOTLIGHT ' bfficers Decide to Shift Own | se Meeting to Hold Members § in Attendance. By the Associated P SAVANNAH, Ga., November 22— Pretty girl pages and their annual ball are too much opposition for di- yision presidents and their annual re- ports, the United Daughters of the Confederacy decided unanimously to- night. After being told that only a “few nodding heads and many empty seats” greeted the presidents when they vead their annual reports last night at the auditorium, while the pages' ball was in progress at a local hotel, the convention passed a resolution ehanging presidents’ evening. , Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson, Mis- sissippi, arose. “Now, every one knows that Presi- dents' evening gives our presidents an opportunity to wear beautiful dresses and is marked with brilliance. It we follow the resolution, this opportunity will be lost to our presi- dents and to us.” Compromise Is Reached. a past president-general, Consternation reigned and a flood of debate was let loose. The president general brought peace by promising the delegates that the annual reception and pages’ ball next yvear are held on the same night and the presidents’ evening set for another night, with all general officers in attendance. The adopted resolution, offered by Mrs. L. M. Bashinsky, Alabama, ap- proves all past contributions to the Stone Mountain Confederate .Memo- vial and those which may be made in the future in order that the United Daughters of the Confederacy, as an organization, may receive credit for the gifts. Before the vote was taken Mrs. Bashinsky accepted an amendment to the effect that the brganization would | § not be under any financial obligations to the association. Ofcers Are Installed.
