44 Proceedings oe Nioth Annual Meeting 



I told the ladies last night and which I think applies here. There 

 was a colored lady who had five or six sons who were unusual. 

 The}^ minded the old lady. Somebody said, ''Lizzie, how in the 

 world do you raise these children so well?" "Why/' she said, 

 ''I raises them with a barrel stave and I raises them frequent.*' 



It looks to me as if the barrel stave were coming to this move- 

 ment and it certainly is needed. We have not had as much trouble 

 with the mosquitoes as we have with the human. I feel that the 

 work of the women may be to mosquito control what the farm 

 tractor is to the farm — it will bring a force that is immeasurable 

 and tireless and which will work in a way that we men never 

 have been able to do. 



Mrs. Olsen — I just make this suggestion, it just occurred to 

 me during this last speech : Why not ask the federation of clubs 

 that is now making up its program for its big federation meeting 

 to exhibit your mosquito film and have a good speaker at its big 

 federation meeting held here in Atlantic City sometime in May — 

 the first, second and third of May. I think the federation would 

 be glad to do that, and see what the state is doing along this line. 



President Meyers — I have arranged for my offict to call me, 

 so I am going to ask the vice-president, Mr. Manchee, to con- 

 tinue the meeting in my absence. 



(Mr. Manchee took the chair.) 



Chairman Manchee — I understand we want more discussion 

 on the paper of Mr. Leslie, as well as Mrs. Olsen's. There was 

 not much discussion on Mr. Leslie's paper, so T would be glad to 

 hear from anyone. 



Secretary Headlee^ — Pursuant to the idea just advanced by 

 Mrs. Olsen, I would like to offer a motion to the effect that this 

 association appoint Mrs. Boynton a committee of one to see 

 whether the arrangement on the program may not be made. I 

 make that motion because I think that a request of that sort from 

 this association, transmitted through a club member, would be apt 

 to have better results than a direct communication addressed by 

 the secretary. 



Chairman Manchee — I understand Mr. Dobbins' motion re- 

 ferred the matter to the executive committee, and I presume that 

 would be followed, Dr. Headlee, but do you think it would be 

 better to have it come direct from the convention proper?
