Winston's Dr. Manderline Scales, NCNW's state
president, hopes the meeting will provide a valuable
forum for its participants.
"Women don't really express their needs," she
says. "They try to work them out themselves
because they feel they are the only ones who "have a
particular proDiem. But when they open up and !alk
about their problems, they discover that there are
others in the same situations. Hopefully, they'll
come out of this discussion feeling better. We want
I - to demonstrate a concern in a positive manner."
Based on the theme, "Issues and Concerns of

A panel of men and women will provide information

Earn Dillard, president of the host chapter, says
the conference is one way the local section participates

and share concerns," says Mrs. Dillard. "We want
to make the community aware of certain issues."
With the problems brought on by unemployment
and unequal salaries for women in the workplace,
Dr. Scales ..says discussions such as the NCNW
forum are as much-needed now as they've ever
been.
"The concerns are still just as important in 1987
as they were in 1945, 1955, 1965 and 1975," says
Dr. Scales, one of 82 charter members of the local
chapter and its president emeritus. "That's bad.
Somehow 1 think we're not talking enough and that
makes, people lose hope. With people being laid off
and unemployment, we have a whole new set of
problems. When we talk we create a support system
. that helps you face situations and you can deal with
them better."
The NCNW in North Carolina has experienced a
resurgence in the last 10 years. At one point, says
