LOCAL ELK S SHRINE CLUB FORMED wuwujMUiiig vvuir re&uuea oy me iioDson R. Reynolds Elk's Shinre Inc. of Winton, North Carolina (I.B.P.O.E. of W.) proved to be the stimulus for a drastic need of a local chapter of the Shrines here in Charlotte. Thus, the members of the Pisgah Temple No. 228 of Charlotte, in search for integrity, continuity, persistence, devotion and sisterly love, held a meeting recently for the purpose of organizing a local chapter. A local chapter in Charlotte was thus organized under the direction of the Past Grand Daughter Ruler Margaret Carathers. Officers of this new chapter were elected as follows. Sec.-PGDR Dorothy McMurray; Assistant Sec.-DGT. Frances Mobley; Tres.-PGDR Larine Ev ans; Chaplin-DGT. Marie Whitten; and hrogram chairperson-DGT. Annie C. Law rence. Other chartered members of the local chapter are PGDR Marion Dorbey. PSP Florence Bucke, DGT. Amanda Adams and DGT. Harriet Steele. PGDR Lelia Drakeford further enlightened the new chapter mem bers’ minds on all the beautiful aspects of the National Elk’s Shrine Inc. This enlightenment served as an awareness of the members of the newly formed local chapter for a need to work jointly and faithfully with the national organi zation to meet the demands of the Elk's Shrine Club. The public is asked to give any type of assistance that will aid the Shrine Department to become bigger as an organiza tion, and better in its functions this year and for years to come. Juvenile Diabetes Not Just For Kids JUVCI1UC UldUClCd loll l Jllbl for kids. It strikes teenagers and young adults as well and they all have one thing in common: they must take daily insulin injections to stay alive. Mrs. Roz Greenspan, presi dent of the local Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, iJDF), spoke with us recently and explained some things which the average layman may not be aware of concerning diabe tes and the work of JDF. She said, “With juvenile diabetes, the most severe form of diabetes mellitus, the body loses its ability to manu al facture and-or utilize insulin - fif a chemical necessary for the I-— assimilation oi caroony drates. "Maturity onset diabetes usually begins in the middle of later years, but is better cha racterized by a slower pro gression of the disease and its complications. Treatment is usually through control of diet and body weight, sometimes with the addition of oral medi cation.” Mrs. Greenspan noted that, “Diabetes now affects ten mil lion people in the U.S., one million of whom are juvenile diabetics. The Juvenile Diabe tes Foundation is a volunteer non-profit health organization whose main goal is to fund diabetes research by raising public awareness and support ing families with diabetes. It is an international organiza tion with chapters in the U.S., Canada and some foreign countries.” Many of the volun teers are the parents of juve nile diabetics./ Mrs. Greprispan explained that she/feels the general blac/ebmmunity may not be farpinar with the organization arid its work, and added, ' “According to information re leased by JDF, non-whites are more likely to have diabetes than whites and low-income people are 3 times more likely to have it than middle.
