Representative Ruy A. Taylor
Girls Haven Gets Boost
North Carolina's First Lady,
Mrs. Robert W. (Jessie Ray)
Scott, gave the Girls Hav en
Development program its big
gest boost recently since the
movement was initiated over
a year ago. 4
Speaking at the Hawfields
Citivan Club's Ladies Night
program in Burlington, Mrs.
Scott said she would like to see
the Girls Haven idea now ex
panding at Buhisville in Yan
cey County "duplicated again
and again" all over the state.
As evidence of her interest
and her club's support, the or
ganization presented a check
for SI,OOO to further the cause
of less-privileged girls and
members pledged one dollar a
month to help sustain the move
ment ” 1 t ~~ :
In addition, The Hawfields
Club made a committment of
another thousand dollars for
the next Girls Haven to be es
tablished in the Piedmont
area.
Girls Haven is a counter -
part of Boys Home at Lake
W accamaw and current long
range plans indicate there will
be a Girls Haven unit Os three
cottages far eight girls comple
ted in Burnsville and the next
unit in the Piedmont and the
next in the east.
A. D. Peacock, fotmder of
Boys Home of North Carolina
at Lake Waccamaw, served as
its first Director from 1954 to
1958, also founder of Girls Ha
ven and now serving as its Dir
ector, is devoting his full ener
gies to directing the develop -
ment of Girls Haven. Peacock
described the endorsement by
Mrs. Scott as a "milestone in
r • - - m
what we are trying to do for-1-
the many deserving girls that I;
need our help. " I-]
Mrs. Scott said in part: "Iti; •
easy for me and you to speak »•
of home. We have 'one sQ -;
fairly substantial and good one*; !
We can speak for ourselves.Bi£!
how about those who do not ;»•
have one? Who speaks for'%
them? More importantly,who; %
acts far them?
"I am speaking
of the young girls i n North ;!
Carolina who are in need of a 1»
home. I endorse, with all the-J
strength and feeling at my !>:J
command, the efforts being 2* )
made to establish Girls Haven..
**■* s
campuses in all sections of- ;
North. Carolina. I!
•
"I would like to see the 7Z -
pioneering Girls Haven facifi-;;
ty in the mountain town of; '
Burnsville duplicated again
and again across North Caroling
'This plan has merit, be*s
cause with such a network a£
this, a Girls Haven facility
would be within reach of all 2
the needy, neglected, under
privileged or homeless girls.l -
"The havens would be si — * .
milar in physical appearance -
and philosophy to the
tablished Boys Home at Lake-
Waccamaw. I was privileged
to be at Boys Home last Satur
day for a regional arts and
crafts show. I was much im
pressed with the fine work be
ing done there for displaced
boys. It renewed my determK
nation to do all I can to help J
develop the Girls Haven con
cept—to encourage the
zens of North Carolina to open ‘
their hearts--and their purser--
-to this program. "
