At the conclusion of his talk he was asked a few questions by members of the audience and then turned the meeting back to Mayor Black.

Girls' State is a program of edu-cation and training in the function-al aspects of citizenship, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Utah. Girls' State is an effort on the part of the Aux-iliary to bring to girls of Utah a knowledge of the fundamental principals of American government through actual practice and con-trol of the state offices during Girls' State. The program will be an intensive course in government, under expert teachers. The girls will live out the various roles, they will be taught and early in the week a "mayor", "governor", "county commissioners", etc., will be elected to- - govern the "state", and every girl will have a definite and integral part of the function of Girls' State and will observe at first hand the problems of govern-ments and just what makes it. The project is set up to inculate sound Americanism, a sense of duty to . the state and the nation, to teach the girls that "isms" other than Americanism have no place in good j democratic government. Last year the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Jaycees aided the American Legion Auxiliary by paying the fees of the girl who goes. This year the Ladies' Clubs of Hinckley will pay the fees. i To be eligible a girl must be a member of the Junior Class, must have qualities of leadership, have ; good character and be in the up- - l per third of her class scholastically, and she should be able to bring back to 'the community the inter- - ' est and sense of responsibility in government.
