The Union that help sup port total abstinence through the work of missionaries was presented as a part of interest in the world children and how other countries looked to the United States to lead in aband oning alcoholic beverages. The most interesting part of the program was when the small guests under school age came with their mothers to be enroll ed as "White Ribbon Recruits" with mothers pledge to ever teach total abstinence from al coholic beverages and narcotics as the sole guard for a solid na tion. Five young mothers and nine children were guests, as Mrs. Anna Wiles, assisted by Mrs. Ella Wiles, tied the white ribbon on each child's wrist and gave each one a tulip and took the mother's pledge. Mrs. Earl Carr led the child ren in a kindergarten program as their share of the service and closed with the song, "When Jesus Was Among Men."
