Last summer we had two proj
ects: —
A Block Party on Walton Street
that was very largely attended.
Then a Garden Tea Party, this
was a most beautiful affair.
Thus far for Winter Activities we
can report: ■—
Sale of Dinners, the girl selling
the largest number of dinners was
treated to a free dinner. Miss Lo
lita L. Rogers was the winner.
Our girls are available for “Vol
unteer Services” in March of
Dimes — T.B. Seals and Heart
Drives.
Personalities
Dr. John R. Larkin, Consultant
for N. C. Department of Public
Welfare was among 1,000 top of
ficials and civil rights leaders
from across the country invited to
the reception given by President
Kennedy at the White House on
Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.
Dr. Larkin has certainly, right
fully won these honors. He is very
modest about it all. We are all
happy to be associated with such
persons in our group and see them
take their place among peoples of
the world.
Mrs. Mae D. Holmes, Superin
tendent of Girls Training School at
Kinston had a very bad accident,
receiving bodily injuries, which
confined her to the hospital for
many days.
It is our greatest prayer that she
will have complete recovery and
join us very soon. We do miss her
pleasing personality and helpful
service.
Miss Connie Young, a builder of
this Federation. She lives in Dur
ham and has been in the hospital
and now we hope improving fast in
her home.
Years of toil have taken their
toll and her steps are slower.
She was secretary of the Federa
tion for many years and has
served on numerous committees
as well as th© Executive Board for
many years.
We do wish for the very best of
everything in the days of her beau
tiful and fruitful life. So here, too,
we offer any service she desires.

Is It A Woman's World?
No matter how little we may be
understood — merely because we
are women — you have undoubted
ly noticed that a great deal is writ
ten about us, in a great many dif
ferent categories, some serious,
some entertaining.
Some public affairs and citizen
ship programs that our women are
concerned about include:
“Politics is for people,” and is
public affair, but does not neces
sarily mean pushing people into po
litical rings, instead we become
acquainted with processes in our
communities, so that we can ef
fectively in government.
“Why bother about taxes, so
many women think that under
standing taxes is over her head.
Yet taxes have a vital influence on
our daily lives, women can and
will see the flaws in the present
tax structure once we realize that
our attention is urgently needed
in gaining tax rate reform.
“Keeping in Step with Econom
ics,” to many of us the word eco
nomics is somewhat academic and
seems apart from us. Actually, we
find that the many elements which
make up “economics” are the very
facts and figures which add up to
our standard of living. Clubwom-

WHEN YOU MEET
A DATE'S PARENTS
(From Page 4)
this: Courtesies are the doors
which open into a man’s soul, re
vealing his true nature.” Many of
the small things you do are no
ticed by your date’s parents. Some
of these things aren’t noticed by
Ihe people you meet daily, but you
can bet that your date’s parents
will notice them.
Another important thing is to
have your date home by the time
her parents have set. Don’t boast,
but try to show your date’s par
ents that you want to make a suc
cess of your future.
—Terry W. Staggs, South Carolina
I think the little things a boy
does when and after he meets a
girl’s parents counts the most.
Speak to her parents whenever
you meet, and show that you are
interested in them. Have your par
ents invite them ,in your home.
Don’t stay at your girl’s home too
much. If you live on a farm and
they don’t, take them some fresh
vegetables. When you’re asked for
a meal or to visit the girl’s home,
go if at all possible.
—Danny Cowart, Florida
en know that through increased eco
nomic understanding, new safe
guards to freedom are created,
and intelligent action on public is
sues becomes a continuing reality
in American life.
There is so much you could do if
you would;
Evil to turn into channels of good;
Lives to brighten and hearts to be
warmed;
Neighborhood services to be per
formed;
Old folks to visit, and young folks
to guide;
Somebody somewhere for whom to
provide.
Wise is the field if you’re willing
to do
Something for others less favored
than you.
Lamps of affection to trim and re
light.
Wherever you look there are
wrongs to put right.
People and problems to be under
stood.
There is so much you could do—if
you would!

Private Enterprise
“The power to choose the work I
do.
To grow and have the larger view.
To know and feel that I am free.
To stand erect, not bow the knee.
To be no chattel of the State,
To be the master of my fate,
To dare to risk, to lose, to win
To make my own career begin,
To serve the world in my own way,
To gain in wisdom, day by day,
With hope and zest to climb, to
rise,
I call that Private Enterprise.”
