Mr., Privott recalled a pledge made 20 years ago in the presence of, Town and County officials that the then new Lions Club in Edenton would always cooperate with any of citizens datttawt- i M and interested in the improwrii* ment of our local community. “I feel that that pledge has been car ried out,” stated Privott, “and I reiterate that pledge now.” There were 22 charter members of the Edenton Lions Club. Os those 22, 12 are still active, and three inac tive charter members were present for the celebration. Others have moved away, and according to available information, are living now.

MARCH 14, MW. ■■ charter members, and stated that I he felt 12 active members from 22 ! members 20 years ago was an ach ! ievement worthy of congratulations. Trueblood stated that the Edenton Club had been a shining light : throughout the Albemarle area, and that all Lions in North Carolina j were proud of the club. After I commending the club, the speaker | stated that inasmuch as one coun ty in the Albemarle which joins I Chowan was without a Lions Club, j there remained a job to do, thus pointing towards Gates County. Truehlood mentioned that North : Carolina was honored this year by having its first International Presi dent, John L. Stickley, and that North Carolina was not solely re sponsible for his election, hut that | it was a result of the State having | become reeognized as a leader in Lionism without the stigma of be ing known ac a “Southern State” or part of “rebel” territory. North Carolina is now considered a part <.r Lionism’s strength and it is now recognized that without North Car ulina’s support one cannot bo eleci j e.j to nigh pools in Lioho, Intel fna .ioi,ai. 'n - ,< • . \ ■ \»e cannot recede stated ii ueloa, a H. -,iate ti.» ii.c ai„f. a,. hr,~- i resident LI -'• t visit tiie C!• . that the speaker had dene much to help North Caroline reach the apex in Lionism, and that he had been an outstanding president of Lions, International. Mr. Elbert paid a high compli ment to the ladies present, stating that his first reaction to the group was that he had foumt hitnself at a Father-Daughter banquet. He stated that he had many friends ip North Carolina ami had always enjoyed the hospitality of the State on the many occasions he had visited here. The speaker chose as his subject what he term ed the Second Phase of Lionism. He stated that the first and most familiar phase of Lionism was its work in the local Community of the United States in promoting and maintaining the American way of life, but that something else had hanpened which he calls.the Sec ond Phase. Since 1945, Lionism has pushed vigorously heyoad the' natural borders of our own coun try, to the extent that every time a clock goes around in a day,' two grbups have been organized in America and one new club has been organized somewhere abroad. He cited the Biblical quotation that applies to our part in this expan sion—“ Those to whom much is #v en, much will be expected.” The speaker noted that* this giving abroad was unlike many programs where money or valuables are given directly, but that- this was a giving of the mind and heart of somethin" 1 we cherish dearly—our American way of life. He pointed to the ex periences John L. Stickley is now having abroad, and to his own of six years ago, wherein those things j we love and hold sacred, are beinn j explained. Again citing the Bible j the speaker pointed to the lesson to be learned from the sth Chapter of St. Luke, in which the farmer had , to build new graineries to hold an ! abundant harvest, then folded his arms, content to enjoy his wealth alone, only to he told at harvest time that his sojourn here was end ed. He was unwilling to share his wraith with others. The speaker | reminded the audience that the i wealth we had to share was of the mind and heart. Elbert shared an experience in Scotland wher£ the works of Lionism were explained, such as $100,000,000 in 12 months for worthy causes such as hospitali zation, eye care, Boy and Girl Scouts, scholarships, and training centers for seeing-eye dogs. The Scots joined gladly and then while new Lions themselves helped to es tablish new clubs in other parts of Seotlsaff. - The .speaker stated that Lions Clubs are found in 88 countries of th« world, and Hint men of like . mind agd heart in different coun tries yas communism’s worst foe. He dfcioke of how differences be tween nations were now being iron ed out by words rather than wars, and how on many conferences be tween nations there would be sev eral Lions or Rotarians. "Mr. True blood stated that the audience was beautiful to him when he remem bered experiences «in East 'Berlin beyond the Iron Curtain, where the right of .free assembly is denied, and how he had been told by an ex-FW that he’d give an arm to be baclc in the United States. He won dered if we appreciated this enough to be willing to share it with oth ers. As an illustration of what could be accomplished by the indi vidual Lion’s attendance and pay ment of dues, he spoke qf great structures built ip Holland to with stand explosives of TNT and bombs, but how they had been dis -1 integrated by minute particles of sand propelled by minute drops of water during the Holland', floods. At the conclusion of the speech Elbert was given a “genuine pea nut-fed” Chowan County ham as a gift from the Edenton Lions Club.
