Mrs. Richards, the incoming president, made a gracious speech of acceptance to tl'6 honor she had neither sought nor coveted, but assured her listeners that she would endeavor to carry on with the same spirit of devotion that had been so well mani- icsted by the two honorable past- presidents, Mrs. Francis Baker and iss Jessie B. Barclay. This with the hope for the same spirit cooperation given to them in taeir efforts to be of some service to the communities represented.

During the afternoon session two fine talks were heard from two guests--Miss Phelps, County Secretary of the Children's Aid Society, giving a comprehensive report of the National Welfare Conference held recently in Philadelphia while Mrs. Marie Nelson Rowe, Statistical Secretary, Penna. Tuberculosis Society, gave, in the clearest manner, much valuable information on her important subject. Miss Mann, on a special request of the retiring President, gave a brief report of her six years as Publicity Chairman for the Federation, reminding the members that immediately preceding these six years she had given the same service to her home town Civic Club for the same length of time--the period covered for the two organizations being from the autumn of 1919 to the summer of 1932. To this report Miss Mann gave the title of "Greetings and Farewell" it being the first time she had ever given a publicity report on her feet--they had always been with fingers only, stating that she had felt it to be a superfluous performance to stand up on her two feet and report her own reporting.

According to one of the wits, said the speaker, "Samson had the right idea about publicity--he took two columns and brought down the house." No doubt this means to go at the job with all your might and main. Well, we did, but we rarely took more than one column and we usually left the house standing! Miss Mann said she appreciated the many expressions of appreciation from members of the Federation. She also said that for most part the task was a pleasant one and that it had taught her an alertness of perception and a truer appreciation of the tasks of all others in any public service as well as those of private work. Miss Mann took her audience into her confidence stating that during the same period of time, she ha'd the exceeding pleasure keeping a 'Nature Diary" giving as one of the three reasons for her publicity "Farewell" the necessity of completing this work of her heart-. Miss Mann closed with a few pithy publicity paragraphs Mrs.

Alice Ames Winter says: Publicity is so great ari' element in club success that it weighs almost one-half of the total measure of club activities. Publicity means public understanding. We are trying to do things for our communities and we cannot put them over "community understands Mrs. Sherman" said: "I appreciatefV publicity- want every bit the right- kind that I can get foif General Federation." 'Publicity; has w'on many battles for humanity--call it what you will ---propaganda, news, advertising or publicity, the big business goes to the institution or organization that 11s the world." That master of expression, Lord Byron, said: "Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew on a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think." FAREWELL "Now would I build with nothing but with words, A sky so blue and gracious and so still That news of it would bring back many birds, And roots would know and move beneath the hill."

BLAMES NEED FOR SLEEP IN CRASHES The accident hazard that goes along with too many hours of continuous driving without sleep was cited 'by Walter W. Matthews, chief of the safety division of the Bureau of Highway Patrol and Safety. Within the past month the division has had before it the case of two truck drivers who had been in fatal accidents. Both admitted they had been driving continuously for from 36 hours without sleep. "While neither man admitted that he was asleep when the accident occurred, the evidence in each case tended to indicate that he was asleep," Mattnews" said.

"man 1 is fit'to an or a truck that number of hours without" sleep. Truck owners who demand such long hours of driving have no regard for the safety of their or'that of other motorists. We are asking truck owners to co-operate with the State in its effort to reduce motor Vehicle a'ccidents. They can do this by abolishing long hours at the wheel."

Heckerman can tell you all about this section. She tried it. Forty in our own party, four more from California to come on tomorrow when we reach Colon and the balance on board as congenial a lot as I have ever travelled with. An American ship? Yes, she has a bar and we have kept auite sober. Fact is, I have not seen one bit of drinking--the rest may be refraining from drinking out of respect to our group.

Sunday, the Captain paid us a fine tribute when he came to me and said, "Mr. Heckerman, we have always held a dinner dance on Sunday evening, as on other evenings. Will this be ob- jectional to your company?" I replied that I appreciated the courtesy expressed and would not think of asking them to discontinue a regular feature of this kind, but that I was sure my people would have no part in it and that I was sure they would join, us in song service, which they did, and quite a number outsiae our party joined us. There are about 225 passengers, on board. Our days are getting shorter.

On, Sunday and Monday, the 19th and. 20th, the bright sunshine with its. glare from the sea came shining into our porthole at four o'clock in. the morning. This morning it did not peep up over the eastern expanse of water until six o'clock, and after next Tuesday when we have crossed the Equator, they become much shorter and colder, for late June there will be winter here like our late December at home.

Weare enjoying our cherries, melons- and other seasonable fruits of the North and will soon begin eating: oysters and other winter products and likely hunting our red flannels, for there is now every indication that we will not continue entirely- down to Santiago, because of the revolution and the counter revolution and every indication that even, this will be overturned. We are likely to cross the Andes thru Bolivia, spending ten days at an altitude of from 14 to 15 thousand feet and I am not so certain but that will be (harder for most of us than sea We will have a 12 hour boat trip on Lake Tetecaca, but why tell you of this until then? One of the sports we have Dr. Blackwelder would enjoy, and one that I have never seen at sea is clay pigeon shooting, only I am afraid it would take a better dog than Paul Reed ever had to bring in the dead game. Last Sunday morning at 11 we held Church Services in the social room and, inasmuch, as we do not have a pastor on board, I had asked McGarvey, whom many know, to have the sermon and he said "All right Heckerman, if I can stand up that long" and Sunday morning he sent word that "there would be no service as far as he was concerned as he was sick." We unexpectedly located a missionary on board who talked to us and Mr. James Lv Young, of Mechanicsburg, offered a.

beautiful prayer. In the afternoon, we had Sunday School, teaching- the International'Jesson-f or June 19th. (Who can tell what it was? Shame on you.) Well, I would rather teach my Brotherhood boys for I never saw them go to sleep on me. Possibly it is not as hot in our beloved class room and my boys do not get as much to eat as my class on shipboard. Anyhow, four of my class on Sunday went sound asleep (Yes, they were all men, just like the men in our own church at home.

You never saw a woman sleep in church, not at least while ladies- wear hats)-. Only those who have never taken; a trip overseas with a group of Sunday School delegates to a World's Sunday School convention can appreciate the friendliness which pre- vadf a group like this. Here we carr have age and youth mingling together, forgetful of their positions- in life and all one. For instance, Mr. J.

L. Brungart, a bank president, whose 81st birthday he celebrated last Saturday and Henry Horton, the youngest fellow in the bunch, are at the same table, each forgetful of age or youth. Then a Miss- Baker, of Prairie du Sac, the next oldest member celebrated her 79th birthday on Sunday and, of course, there is Senator Hertzler, of Port Royal, who knew my brother quite well and was a life-long intimate friend of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Espenschade and the problem that worries my fine friend, Arthur P.

Zuck, of Erie, is how to bottle up- the royal blue waters thru which we are sailing and send it home to be sold as We are having a joyous trip and only too sorry we cannot our many friends from back along and especially Mrs. Heckerman, who was compelled to cancel at the last moment. While there may not be any German friends like Heinie, Freda, and Johann on board to learn a foreign language from, yet she could learn Chinese from our cabin boy, Tee See, or join the class in Spanish with the rest of us and greet her friends "Buenos dias" or in leaving do what I am going to do until my next letter, which will cover Panama and the Western Coast of South America and which will be delayed in coming because we will be getting farther away, by saying for this time "Adens." Henry C. Heckerman The Department of Revenue has placed an order with the Department of Welfare, Prison Labor Division, for 602,500 hunter's license tags for 1932. Last year 585,800 tags were ordered and were insufficient to meet this demand- The resident hunter's license, tag this year will be blue' with numerals.

The non-resident-hunter's tag will red with Vrflie numerals.
