S[}Hflm_s URGANIZE ICOMPETING TO REPRESENT SCHOOL IN ORATORICAL cowms—;l }“' CONSTTUTON LUB Central, Eastern and McKin- ley Form After Conference With Oratorical Director. AN | Following the lead of Western and | Business High Schools, groups of stu- dents from Central, Eastern and Mc- Kinley Manual Training decided yester- day at a conference with Randolph | Leigh, director of the National Oratori-, cal Contest, to form Constitution Clubs | in their respective institutions. | A reception and tea was given by Mr. Leigh in the Mayflower Hotel for school | officials, teachers, students and Parent- Teacher Association officers of the five | high schools. The Constitution Clubs at Western | and Business are outgrowths of the Na- | tional Oratorical Contest, sponsored in | this area by The Star. They are organ- | izations of boys and girls, entirely with- | out faculty compulsion, for the study of | the United States Constitution and com- parison of the form of government it | established with forms existing in other | countries. | The decision to organize such clubs at McKinley, Central and Eastern fol- lowed talks by Edmund Guilion, presi- dent of the clug at Western, and Stanley Segal, former president of the Business Club. Organized Three Years. Gullion explained that his group was organized three years ago and since that time has been meeting every other week, except during times near the oratorical contests, when they meet each week. Sessions are held on Friday after- noons at 3 o'clock. Miss Rose Stutz, history teacher, is faculty adviser and the meetings are held in her class room. On days when extensive programs are scheduled the meetings take place in the school auditorium. ‘The committee of teachers who assist the club and sometimes attend its meetings and offer suggestions and criticisms includes Miss Clara Stutz, Miss Isabel Pickett, Miss Alice Wood, Miss Sue Gardner, Miss Elizabeth uDeuel, librarian, and Miss Blanche is. wis. Gullion told of how the club members collected instruments of other govern- ments until they now have an excellent array of constitutions of the nations of the world. These they have com- pared with our own in open debate. Other subjects of past debates have been, “Are Americans Happy?” “The Soviet Government of Russia,” “The Kellogg Peace Pact,” “Disarmament,” “The Implied Powers of the Constitu~ tion” and “The Six-year Term for President Without Re-election.” Teachers Merely Guide. ‘The meetings are lively affairs, with healthy criticism freely offered by both students and teachers. Teachers, how- ever, have always kept in the back- ground, merely guiding, so that the club is a bona fide student activity. ‘The membership of the club usually is about 20, the boys now being in the majority. There are occasional social evenings, sight-seeing trips and picnics. Segal gave a brief account of the activities of the club at Business, which is run in a similar way to its sister organization at Western. Miss Cora MeCarty, history department, is faculty adviser, Segal represented Business in ‘The Star area finals in 1927, 1928 and 1929. He is now a student at George ‘Washington University. Stephen Kramer, assistant superin- tendent of schools, spoke briefly, em- phasizing the value of the Oratorical Contest and the Constitution Clubs in combatting propaganda aimed at the overthrow of the United States Govern- ment. “Now is the time for youth to become vocal,” he declared, “and answer the loose talk prevalent among young people with an expression of the ideals of those who have gone before us.” Mr. Leigh welcomed his guests and laid particular stress on the benefits to be derived from the extemporaneous feature of the contest this year. Others who spoke were Mrs. Louise Proctor Engle, local eontest director, and Miss Rose Stutz. ‘The contest finals of the Oxon Hill Consolidated School of Oxon Hil, Md., are to be held tonight, with six students ‘They are Anna Talbert, , Irma Taylor, liam Cusick.

The new co-operative would maintain the existing co-operatives in the in- dustry, the Sunmaid raisin growers of California and its subsidiaries, the California_Fruit Exchange and the California Vineyardists Association. The plan contemplates the purchase and utilization of the surplus of the grape crop, estimated by Teague at apnrovi- ‘mately 300,000 tons, partly through the | establishment of a fee of $1.50 a tresh: | ton to be collected from growers for | the purchase of the surplus and partly | d;‘ through the activities of the Fruit In- | dustries, Inc, which is being trans- formed into a co-operative, and which will function in the picture by the manufacture of by-products. ‘The Farm Board has already ar- ranged a refinancing program for the | co-operatives.
