BMhday napkins and a little sugarplum tree lent a gay atmos phere. One of the honorees, Mrs. Alston, had chosen the tree as a motif for the party. She had in structed each member to bring a Bible verse containing the word tree. All complied. A prize of a box of chocolates went to Mrs. Gertrude Winslow, whose verse matched the one attached to a sugarplum tree. As the cakes 'Acre. being cut, Mrs. Alston took the group "on a journey" which ended at a tree. Ffr the journey she read "The Sfints' Reward." This was a por trayal, from The Revelation of St. J(?hu,,okjlreiia...Mescatiog to the stints their crowns.-and their hfirps, and leading them--finally to the Tree of Life.

Precaution Can Often Prevent Birth Detects By ELIZABETH STEWART Women's Medical News Service One of every 16 babies born in the U. S. or 250,000 a year has a birth defect which, if un treated or undetected, can shorten life, cause disfigurement, or re sult in mental or physical handi caps. Thousands of these defective births can now be prevented or their effects minimized. Meeting the birth defect problem, however, calls for many steps, perhaps the most important of which is proper medical care before and during pregnancy. A time of danger to the unborn baby is during the first few weeks after conception, says Dr. Josef Warkany, professor of research pediatrics at the Childrens Hospi tal Research Foundation, Univer sity of Cincinnati. It is it this early stage, he says, that certain factors in the environment—drugs, viruses,—can do damage. However, even later, serious brain and or gan damage can result from cer tain infections and from drugs. Another noted physician, Dr. Allan C. Barnes, professor and chairman, Department of Gyneco logy and Obstetrics, the Johns Hopkins • University, points out that pre-natal care enables the doctor to "recognize and treat diseases or conditions a woman may have before she becomes pregnant, thus contributing to the prevention of congenital difficul ties." FAMItV PLANNING IMPORTANT A visit to the family doctor by a couple planning a family can result in life-long dividends' "of good health for parents and chil dren. On such a visit a doctor will usually take detailed family his tories. From these he may be alterted to the possibility of in heritable defects, and can take steps to minimize their effects* Blood tests will warn him of pos sible trouble which can be avoided if b« ia wart is time of (laager.

Walls told the delegates to the sth regional meeting of the NAACP, at the Thursday night session, in the ballroom of the Queen Char lotte Hotel. The prelate was here to receive the Buford F. Gordon Award for the contribution made to the mili tant organziation. He traced the history of the Negro struggle, in America and had the following to say, "Even though it has not been easy yet the Negro has given the world a formula in that he has his hope in God and an unfalter ing trust in the song of praises while he works long and hard for the change that is now taking placo." He continued, "America we have been waiting for you for 270 years and even though it look ed at times that you would fail us we still know and will continue to believe that America is the country that will lead the way that Jesus taught and recognize the fact that God is no respcctor of person and some day the ban- EMPLOYMENT FOR MID-WINTER SHOWS GAIN WASHINGTON, D. C.—'The Ne gro employment - unemployment picture at mid-winter reflected both the absence of workers inci dental to the dock strike and the usual reductions for this period. However, the steady improve ment noted by the Labor Depart ment's Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1964 was apparent. For example, the 852,000 Negro workers report ed as unemployed at the end of January 1965, were 106,000 less than the 958,000 reported a{ the end of January in 1964. Concurrently ,the 7,103,000 Ne gro workers reported as employed at the end of January 1965 were nearly 200,000 more than report ed at the end of January 1964. Percentage-wise, Negro workers were 11.0 percent of the civilian labor force, 21 percent of the un employed, and 16 percent of the employed workers' force in Janu ary 1965. Among the long-term unemploy ed (unemployed 27 weeks and over), 13.3 percent of all Negro workers were unemployed in Jan uary 1965 and these were 29.1 per cent of all the long-term unem ployed, white and non-white. Com parable figures forj January 1964 showed 12.7 percent of all Negro workers among loitg-term unem ployed, 24.4 percent of all. the long-term unemployed.

They came together in the diningr oom of the YWCA and considered proposals for organizing a Club of retired N. C. Mutual employees In the Dur ham community. The idea was sparked by C. M. Palmer, himself a former long-time employee of the insurance company, and still active in business, civic, and reli gious affairs in the community. According to Palmer the idea has been running through his mind for some time; recently he felt impelled to do something about is after noting the increasing num ber or retired N. C. M. employees in the local area. The purpose of the club would be, primarily to maintain a fel lowship among these former em ployees, and to cultivate common and useful interests. Activities would be along such lines as might appeal to them including civic, social, recreational, and cultural affairs. Mr. Palmer named 29 in dividuals living in the area who arc former N. C.

Jewish Festival Teaches Lesson For Oppressed The colorful Jewish Festival of Purim which recalls the ancient Biblical story of Queen Esther and her fight to save her people from Haman, the Persian tyrant, will be marked by Jews all over the world in religious services and ceremonies beginning at Sun down, Wednesday, March 17. The one-day holiday contains a contemporary message univer sally, echoed at this time —the dedi«tion to assure religious freqiom for all individuals. Tpf word "Purim" means "loß* and relates to the method by the Persian Minister, Haman, to select the which the JeWs wOuld be deatjpbyed. Queen Esther, thq wife of King Ahasuerudj fought valiantly to save Jews, ahd rescind the evil "f Hatnan., The legendary| stjory of Haman sought the 1 genocidd of his country's Jewish population is Sg be found in the, Blbjical of Esthers tf»r!y irt Jewish hiffljfy, this• book was copied on tbfg*olled scrolls called Megillo- other biblical texts 'MI similarly preserved, the liftit of the Esther Megill«h h»|ipi(ways received special pre ' in the Synagogual ob servance of the day. is a true holiday. The ~sej|fve atmosphere predominates. As'tiie scroll is read at the wor ship "services, children and adults ar« encouraged to use noise rrtajcers to blot out the sound of the "name of the tyrannical Har man every time it is mentioned. Costume balls and parties are conduted in the religious schools and Purim plays are traditionally presented at this time. The threat to the physical sur vival of the Jewish people as re presented by this story was no mere folktale to the Jewish people. Throughout their long and often tortured history, Ha mans have periodically sprung up to destroy Jews, using as their principal reason that Jews chose to remain culturally and religi ously identified. Hamans in vari ous guises constantly threaten the security of societies, diverse religious and ethnic groups. Though an ancient festival, Purim's messa&e gives it a eon temporary ring which all people, regardless of creed must heed. -Girl Scouts Continued from page 2B present "Girl Scouting—A Prom ise In Action," on Sunday, March 14.
