Conditions generally throughout
Europe have improved a great deal,
reported Allen White,; secretary of
the International , Centers Section of
Uie Americiui ikuub u hw
mittee, on bis return to this country
after two months abroad,
The continuing need is for cloth
ing, Mr. White stressed." In a group
of 18 youngsters at an AFSC center
all the clothing was drab ana Were
was not ofie pair of good shoes in the
crowd. During a folk dance one girl s
shoddy shoes went to pieces. S Her
soles just opened up.
In some areas of Germany the fuel
supply is very limited. Shade trees
were cut down for fuel, and the work
crews were followed" by people in the
neighborhood who chipped away at
the tree stumps. Then the small re
maining chips were gathered by old
women and others and carefully car
ried away, Mr. White said.
Mr. White, who attended the Con
ference on International Centers at
Lisieux, heavily bombed French city,
visited International Centers at Lon
don, Paris, Geneva, Vienna, Copen
hagen and the Hague. In Germany
he visited Quaker rehabilitation pro
jects at Frankfurt, Darmstadt and
Berlin.
International Centers are spon
sored ' jointly by the American
Friends Service Committee and the
Friends Service Council of England
and local Friends groups. The key
word of the International Centers'
program is reconciliation. Interna
tional Centers are concerned pro
gram-wise not with the effects of
war, but with the causes of war. Ac
tivities include lectures, concerts,
poetry, appreciation, language classes,
student activities, counselling and
community services. In Calcutta the
Center sponsors a school for Moslem
girls, and in China a receiving home
' for delinquent children is maintained.
Mr. White said it gave him a fine
,o.,se t.' t ly vl.a ia a
strange country and not, hearing
word of English, to reach a Center
where one at once felt at home and
among" friends." . ' v ,
Mr. White, who is the son of Mr.
and Mrsv Ernest White, Belvidere, is
a graduate of Guilford College. Guil
ford. North Carolina. He was direc
tor of boys' work at Beth Eden Set
tlement House, Philadelphia, for five
years, i He became secretary of the
Friends Meeting in Washington and
later secretary of the American
Friends Fellowship Council and the
American;" Section of the Friends
World Committee. " " '
From the 13th to the 23rd of April
Mr. and Mrs. White will, be in Ja
maica, where they will attend the
meeting of the American Section of
the Friends World Committee and the
Jamaica Yearly Meeting. - They also
plan to confer on matters relating to
the Jamaica International Center.

terest in better poultry production
throughout North Carolina, says C. F.
Parrish, in charge of poultry exten
sion work at State College.
More projects are being sponsored
this year than ever before, Parrish
adds. Some 500 club members in
more than forty counties are receiv
ing 100 sexed pullets each. After
raising the chicks, each member will
be judged and classed according to
their development. Proceeds from
the sale of pullets shown will be used
to start new projects next year.
Extension poultrymen and agents
who supervised .the projects will de
cide which members are to receive
awards for having done the best
work.
The Sears Foundation, which last
year sponsored projects in 30 coun
ties, ha3 added 10 new counties to its
list for 1949. These are Wake, Gates,
Hertford, Brunswick, Moore, Colum
bus, Duplin, Edgecombe, Nash and
Burke.
Sears is also sponsoring projects
for Negro club members in four coun
ties, and civic clubs and hatcheries

white members in five counties.
