.Month’y Meeting
The May meeting of the Ren
dezvous Mountain Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revo
lution was held Tuesday after
noon at the home of Mrs. C. H,
Cowles in Wilkesboro having thir
teen members and several visi
tors present. .Mrs. Claude Dough-
ton. the re.gent, presided for a
short business session after which
an intoresti- g program was given
ly .Mrs. Joe K. Johnson, who
chose for her theme, “The Women
of -Vorth Carolina in the Revolu
tion.’’
During the social hour the
group was .served delicious re
freshments in two courses by
Mrs. Cowles and her daughter,
Mrs, J. C. Mott, also shown
through the Cowles' lovely flower
garden. The chapter disbanded
until the Septenrher meeting.
An increased public Interest
and more concerted action in the
general welfare field were given
this week as the probably causes

W. Curtis Ezell, director of the
division of institutions and cor
rections of the State Board of
Charities and Public Welfare, as
cribed much of the change as due
to new programs of social wel
fare operated by the state or fed
eral governments.

played a part in the remaking of
many of our youthful citizens,”
Hie welfare official said.
Organization of county welfare
depariinents in all 100 counties
of North Carolina helped lower
the number rf children incarcer
ated in county jails from 1231 in
1036 to 1070 in 1937. with a fur
ther reduction through 878 In
1938 down to the 1939 low of
7 81, or a total reduction of 38
percent, Ezell said.
"These reductions have been
made without the addition of new
or substitute Institutions or facil
ities and without a corresponding
rise in the population of Institu
tions already existing.
“The training schools for de
linquents show no increase in ad
missions in 1939 over 1936 Each
year there were a total of 488 ad
missions to the four training
schools,” he stated.
Commitments of persons under
16 years of age to the state pris
on system have taken another
turn with a rise from 64 in 1936
to 101 in 1939 although the
younger prisoners are making up
an ever increasingly smaller per
centage of the total prison popu
lation. In fiscal 1933 persons
under 25 years made up halt the
total commitments while in 1938
the prisoners under 25 years of
age accounted tor only 40 per
cent of the total number.

to Wake, Mecklenburg, Guilford

State director of commodity dis

Langston’s statement came In
response to an announcement by
