Among those representing the
early phase of Collins’ life, Nicho

Approximately 1,500 women

S annual soaeion of the State

stration Clubs.
Mr* LtzxeUe PearsatL retiring
president, presided over the first
session, which opened at t0:30. She
called attention to the fact that
there had never been a greater need
for better understanding by She
general public of the work done by
the Home Demonstration Clubs
than now. She threw out a greet
challenge to the members when die
said, “Are we, as leaders, doing our
share to telling the story?”
Mrs. Patricia Johnson Trice, choir
director, of the AAT College Choir,
began the meeting with musical
preludes. The Rev. Cleo M. McCoy,
director, religious activities, at Afr-
T, made the Invocaton. The Madri-

ly boil.
The Rev. Kemp P. Battle, Rocky
Mount, who has been president at
the antlered herd in Tarheelia tor
sixteen years, successfully fought
off a hard attack to unseat him last
year when the convention met here.
He is expected to contend again for
the post, notwithstanding his re
ported promise to bow eut this
year. It seem* that the taste of po
litical success makes a man want
to go on until he U “shot down" ra
ther than bow out gracefully and
with honors and the plaudits of
masses for being gallant.
