Saturday morning for about 40
friends.
The bride-elect was honored at

Saturday evening by three of her
former classmates, Barbara Black-
welder, Diana Tolar and Vicki
Michael.
The party was given at the
home of Barbara’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Gene Blackwelder.
One of the first presidents of
the Moore Memorial Hospital
Auxiliary, Mrs. John E. Dixon of
Pinehurst, who spoke on the for
mation of the organization at last
Wednesday’s general meeting in
the Nurses Home, presented some
amusing statistical comparisons
between then and now.
Forty-two auxiliary members
were present for the meeting at
which the president, Mrs. Paul
Dana, presided and heard short
reports from the follov/ing com
mittee chairmen:
Mrs. Fred B. Pollard, benefits
chairman, who reported that the
annual Moore Memorial Hospital
benefit dinner at the Dunes Club
will be held Monday February 25.
In charge of reservations are Mrs.
Walter G.'Robins of Pinehurst and
Mrs. A. L. Folley of Southern
Pines. Mrs. W. R. Bonsai, III of
Southern Pines has charge of the
door prize—a stereo-A.M. - F.M.
radio combination.
Mrs. James Boyd gave a welfare
report.
Mrs. Alice Bodine, in charge of
volunteer hospital workers, re
ported on the canteen and told
members about the training of
pink checkers for work in the
hospital.
Mrs. Edward T. Taws, Jr., who
has accepted chairrtianship of the
canteen cart, emphasized the need
for workers-^male or female—to
take the canteen cart around the
hospital.
In her warmly affectionate and
humorous talk on the people re
sponsible for bringing the wo
men’s auxiliary into being, Mrs.
Dixon mentioned especially the
late Mrs. Leonard Tufts—“a rare
and beloved lady, with great vis
ion, always ready to help when
the occasion arose ... who con
ceived the idea of a Woman’s
AuxiJiary for the newly built
Hospital here in the Sandhills.
Few of the large cities, even,”
noted the speaker, “had organized
a group such as this in 1930.”
When the first auxiliary presi
dent, Betty (Mrs. M. W.) Marr,
retired from office, there were 67
active members, according to the
report of Mrs. Dixon, who became
the organization’s second presi
dent.
The third president, she stated,
was Gertrude (Mrs. James Pryor)
Williamson, then came Mrs. Nor
wood Johnston, Sr., and, as sixth
president, Mrs. Dana. There were
18 presidents in the intervening
years before Mrs. Dana again be
came head of the group.
Among special boosters for the
hospital mentioned by Mrs. Dixon
were “Granny” (Mrs. James)
Andrews, Mrs. Noyes (Mary Spel-
man’s mother) and Mrs. John
Given.
The speaker also commended
Mrs. (H.P.) Hotchkiss and her
workers who helped with mend
ing for the hospital, for, “in that
era, all of the mending was done
by the auxiliary members.”
During the auxiliary’s first year,
said Mrs. Dixon, “we purchased
for the hospital a new station
waeon, at a cost of $350!”
The speaker concluded her talk
by presenting the auxiliary, for
the hospital’s Building Fund, her
promised check for $1,000,
At the conclusion of Mrs
Dixon’s talk. Hospital Administra
tor Duncan L. McGoogan, present
during the meeting, answered
several of the members’ questions
about the hospital’s administra
tion
Mrs. B. Porter Kuzsmaul and
Mrs. A. L. Folley were hostesses
at a coffee hour following the
meeting.
FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S CLUBS GIVES
LANDSCAPING PROJECT TO SAMARCAND
Local Youngsters, With
Mothers, Visit Capital’s
National Art Gallery
Peter Hayes and Caroline Hodg
kins, five-almost-six-year-olders
were treated to a “never-to-be-
forgotten” trip last Saturday
when their mothers, Mrs. Thomas
Hayes and Mrs. Norris Hodgkins,
Jr., took them to Washington for
the day. An early morning ride
took them to Greensboro where
they boarded a plane (first time)
and a short time later landed in
the Capital city.
A visit to the National Art
Gallery was the main reason for
the trip, and the two young people
were entranced with the pictures.
Some months ago, Miss Mary
Logan had given them a book
with pictures of many famous
paintings, and the children have
been studying them with much
interest since. They recognized
six of the paintings in the Gallery
and naturally shrieked with joy
each time they found a familiar
one.
After lunch, the group went to
the zoo for an hour or so and
then, back to the plane and
Greensboro again, in time for a
light supper there and home in
Southern Pines by 8 o’clock. Both
mothers said it was one of the
most delightful days they had
ever spent.

A living, growing gift of beauty
to young girls of North Carolina,
whose lives may have held litle
enough of beauty, has been made
by Women’s Clubs of the State to
Samarcand Manor, contributing
their money, time and effort
through their Federation. Wo
men’s Clubs at Aberdeen, Carth
age and Robbins, in Moore Coun
ty, participated in the project.
It is a gift which will grow
more beautiful through the years,
and which will be of untold value,
in line with new knowledge about
correction and rehabilitation, a
part of which is that “Beauty is
therapy.”
This was the thought voiced by
Blaine M. Madison of Raleigh,
State commissioner of correction,
in a program held Friday after
noon in the auditorium of Samar
cand Manor, the State Training
School for Girls, near Eagle
Springs.
Madison, expressing thanks to
the Federation of Women’s Clubs
for their just-completed campus
beauUfication project, said, “Beau
ty comes to us from God, making
life more meaningful and teach
ing us new ways to walk.”
4-Year Project
The four-year project, costing
some $15,000, was one by which
women of the State through club,
district and State chairmen to add
extensive plantings of lawns,
shrubs and trees, walkways,
brickwork and a multipurpose
activity field to the campus where
a number of new, modem build
ings have been erected by the
State within the past few years.
The state’s brick industry pre
sented walls, walkways and other
brick construction work.
They worked by a master plan
created by a Raleigh landscape
architect, and with the help of
the brick industry of North Car
olina, which contributed an esti
mated $5,000 worth of materials
and labor.
This was in addition to funds
"ontributed in every district by
the clubwomen, from their poc
kets through benefit projects and
in the form of donations from
their friends.
The campus development pro
gram is long-range and this pro
tect is its first phase. Future pro
jects, under administrations to
come, may center on other needs
of the school, long a primary con
cern of the State Federation.
In the program presented be
fore the school staff, student body
and invited guests—including
Federation officials and many
who had worked closely with the
orojects—Mrs. C. Gordon Mad-
drey of Ahoskie outlined the
hisLry of the Federation’s con
tinuing concern, with the State
Training School dating back prior
to its establishment over 40 yeat
a so.
"Helpina Hands'
Mrs. Fred Bunch of Statesville,
a past committee chairman, now
Federation treasurer, explained
another develooment of this in
terest—the “Helping Hands” pro
gram, by which club members
throughout the State aid in read
justment of girls returning to
their home communities from
Samarcand Manor.
Mrs. James F. Harper, Jr., of
Southport, present Federation
president, presented two bronze
plaques, to be affixed to the en
trance walls and a wall at the
activity field. Accepting project
and plaques for the State Board
of Correction and Training was
Mrs. John L. Frye, Jr., of Robbins.
Appreciation was expressed by
a young girl for the student body;
by Miss Reva Mitchell, superin
tendent, and by Commissionter
Madison. It found expression also
in the singing of the school glee
club. 20 girls in simple costumes
of white blouses and black skirts,
led and accompanied by Mrs.
'Thelma Alpert of Pinebluff, their
! pianist-director.
