Bill Lantaff and B.P.W. President Wilhelmina Harvey) By BILL MEYERS IN ALMOST EVERY CITY throughout this: beautiful State of Florida there is a club of ladies with hearts of gold—they call themselves “The Business and Professional Women's Clubs— they should be called Angels of Mercy. As the guests of the Key West Club, over 200 from all points in Florida stayed at the La Concha Hotel for three wonderful days, They held innumerable meetings, and the writer learned some of the essence of their work; the profound beauty of their deeds; their enthusiasm and wholehearted goodness, These lovely ladies work in the vineyard of God, seeking those who tread on rock and stone; making the sorrowful, joyful; lifting the burdens from the hearts of others as they bring surcease to those less fortunate, It is a trans- cendent work, beautiful to behold. A young lady wins a college scholarship—she has no money for dresses, books and main- tenance. B.B.W. Club ladies seek such a person—buy everything necessary for her college career; sometims it is a loan; often it is an outright gift. Over 200 such ladies brightened the La Concha Hotel for three days of work, cheer and inspiration. Their vivid personalities outshone the beautiful flowers displayed in the lobby; their radiant faces bespoke their pro- found thoughts. Their laughter was like precious drops of water sparkling with their gratitude to their State President, Mrs. Wilhelmina Harvey, who was also a gracious “First Lady,” and the fine members of the Key West Business and Profes- soinal Women’s Club, Mrs. Harvey being the modest person she is, said, “The success of the convention was due to the tire- less efforts of the General Chairman and local club president, Mrs. Blanche Miller, her chairmen, and members.” The hand of friendship ruled supreme August 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, 1952. ‘Women are very powerful humans for good when banded together. God has given them many talents, one of which is to bring beauty into the world. This sad earth would know no wars if all women were B.P.W. ‘Club ‘members. What a beautiful life “is theirs, spreading cheer, scattering seeds of kindness so that others may share the many blessings God has bestowed on BP.W. Club members. Their excellent work, like the beautiful flowers that bloom so lavishly in this exotic city of Key West, are truly the handiwork of God. Both are symbolic of rare, unearthly beauty. Gratitude is the memory of the heart. Deep within his soul the writer shall cherish the divine memories BP.W. Club members of Florida so freely gave. It was an honored privilege to serve you—and an inspira- tion to glimpse your work. May your own pathways through life be strewn with roses, beautiful roses such as your golden hearts and minds strew in the paths of others. Beautiful in- deed are the footprints you B.P.W. Club members are leaving on the sands of time. j “There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.” Criminal Court at ‘a probation hearing.

Adlai Stevenson in effect launched his campaign today with a fighting speech that blasted Com- munism as “the death of the soul” and called for a strong national defense. The Democratic presidential nominee’s address before the American Legion convention in New York was his first major ad- dress since his nomination, and touched off his initial big drive for votes in the East. It temporarily took the political spotlight away from his political | opponent, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hower, who spoke before the same convention two days ago and who /ine” in their program scripts, -but | today announced his first big cam- ! paign trip—a visit to 14 cities in | 10 states, starting Sept. 2 | The major theme of Stevenson's prepared address was patriotism, with a plea for freedom of thought, | a warning to veterans not to ex- | ert too much pressure on him with | “excessive” demands if he is elect- | ed, and a surprise, thinly veiled blast obviously aimed at Sen. Jo- seph McCarthy (R.-Wis.). These were the highlights of Ste- venson’s speech: 1, The United States must build | up a strong national défense. Rut its power should be used with re- | straint to promote freedom, jus- , tice and peace in the world. 2. Communism, is a threat, but ! over-zealous patriots are threaten- ing freedom of thought in their efforts to wipe it out. Communist “thought police.” Do not, he said, | “burn down the barn to kill the rats. 3. “We are rapidly becoming a | mation of veterans” and “if we) were all to claim a special re-| ward , . . who would be left to pay?” He said he would resist pressures from veterans or any | other organization if he felt they | were excessive. 4. The attackers of Gen. George C. Marshall are hiding under. a cloak of patriotism—‘The last ref- uge of scoundrels.” Although he name, he left no doubt that the Wisconsin senator was one of his main targets. McCarthy has accused Marshall, former secretary of state and for- mer secretary of defense, of being party to a plot against the security | of his own country. Stevenson said such an attack on Marshall was | a “shocking example” of the type | of “patriotism” he warned against. | Following his Legion address. Stevenson scheduled a talk before a Democratic rally at Asbury, Park, N. J., and a series of con- ferences with party leaders in both | New York and New Jersey. _Eisenhower’s first major cam- paign tour will be launched with | a Sept. 1 address in New York. | The following day he heads South, with stops at most big cities in | the South. Eisenhower’s advisers | say they believe he has a chance | to carry some of the traditionally Democratic strongholds. Hampshire, who visited the gener- al Tuesday, said, ‘There is a fight- ing chance for him in three or four | states. He named Texas, Florida, Virginia and “perhaps Tennessee.” Eisenhower speaks Sept. 2 at At- lanta, Ga., Jacksonville and Mi- ami and on Sept. 3 at Tampa, Birmingham, Ala., and Little Rock, Ark. | Then he swings up through the Midwest, and returns to New York | Sept. 10.

After the 9-state Western tour, he will swing eastward on the sec- ond phase of his campaign, to be followed by a sweep through the South. There were other important de- velopments on the political scene: Rep. John Rankin, 70;a veteran of 32 years in Congress, fiery ad- voate of white supremacy and a bitter foe of President Truman’s civil rights program, was defeated in Tuesday’s Mississippi primary by Rep. Thomas Abernethy, 49. Although Abernethy said they were close friends, they had been forced into a contest because their districts had been merged this year. Rankin was co-author of the bill creating the Tennessee Valley Au- thority (TVA), was chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, and played an active role in in- vestigations of the Unamerican Ac- tivities Committee, of which he was a member. In Texas, Republicans trying to make certain the Lone Star State would go, for Eisenhower in No- vember, took the unprecedented step of adopting a full ticket of already-nominated Democrats as their own GOP candidates for state and U. S. congressional offices. This means that such Democrat- ie candidates as Gov. Allan Shivers for governor, Price Daniel for U. S. senator, and Martin Dies for Con- gressman-at-large, will be on both tickets—unless they ask that their names be withdrawn. Republicans said they were con- fident there would be no with- drawals. Only candidate to com- ment immediately was Daniel, who said he was glad the Republicans “admit the Democrats have cho- sen the best candidates.” The Nashville, Tenn.
