Show Literary Club Hears Juvenile Worker The Ladles Literary Club was entertained en-tertained at the home of Mrs. Wm. Chipman Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Walter Strange assisting hostess. hos-tess. It was a very interesting and Instructive meeting. Violin and piano pia-no selections were rendered by Miss Nina Halliday and Miss Lenore Crookston. Mrs. Wm. Chipman gave a brief report of the state convention conven-tion which was held in Logan, where the slogan adopted was "It's Up to the Women," and the resolution adopted by the State Federation was that "Every Child Has A Chance". In order to become more enlightened enlight-ened how to give each child a chance, Mrs. Gladys Nielsen from the Juvenile Court of Provo, was asked to talk to the ladies here. This was intensely interesting, because her heart is in that work and her broad sympathy with the child problem is an inspiration. The work being done by these noble men and women in our state is not wholly realized by the majority of the people. Its abolition would be a calamity in our midst. They stand between the child and condemnation, for they educate and build out of the choas of destructive forces, women and men who become assets instead of criminals. Mrs. Nielsen's talk was a revelation and in the few cases cited cit-ed showed the love and broad understanding under-standing given the unfortunate child, who transgresses, but only needs in so many cases, a helping hand to awaken him to better things. The ladies were indeed inspired by her informal talk. Mrs. Nielsen pointed out that for the sake of eoonomy or for some other reason, this child help is in jeopardy, and stated it is "up to every citizen" to see that "Every Child has A Chance." May Cozzins of Salt Lake City and Mrs. Carter of Provo were present pres-ent as guests. There were twenty in attendance. The club colors of yellow and green were beautifully carried out in the house decorations. A delicious luncheon lunch-eon was served, which also carried out the club colors, after which adjournment ad-journment was made until September. Septem-ber. n |
