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.
