Ms. Helen Mahlum,' vice
president of the North
Carolina eastern area of
Business ' and Professional
Women's Clubs, was guest
speaker at a special covered
dish supper meeting of the
Hertford BPW Club last
Thursday night. .
The purpose of the
meeting was to, invite
working women throughout
Perquimans County to at
tend and get to know about
BPW and more specifically
the Hertford chapter.
The program of the
evening opened with a
welcome to all the special
guests and BPW 'members
of from Miss Hulda Wood,
president of the Hertford
BPW Club.
Each of the prospective
new members were in
troduced by name and
profession.
Prior to the dinner, Miss
Wood gave the invocation.
Following their meal, the
group was entertained by
Mrs. Dora T. Riddick, the
BPW Woman of the Week.
She read several of her
original poems concerning
politics to the group and
aroused many chuckles
while bordering on the
painful truth. Mrs. Riddick
explained to the group that
she has a special interest in
politics and more
specifically election day
since that is the day of her
birth 85 (almost 86) years
ago.
The floor was then turned
over to Betty Swindell who
introduced Ms. Mahlum as
the evening's guest speaker.
Increasing membership
while retaining current
members was the subject of
Ms. Mahlum 's enthusiastic
program. She pointed out to
those in attendance that
being a BPW member
means that you have a
friend no matter where you
go, since BPW is a national
organization.
The meeting was closed
with "Sing Your Way
Home" and the reciting of
the club collect.
Special guests at the
meeting included Edna
Snell and Carolyn Ricks,
members of the Edenton
BPW Club and district of
ficers. Prospective mem
bers in attendance included
Frances Bowden, Laura
Fesperman, Linda Grieve,
Darla Matthews, Janice
Meads, Joann Morris, Lydia
Perry, Suzanne Stanton,
Bonnie White and Susan
White, and Kay Whedbee.
Legion Wants Safe Holiday
The American Legion of
Post 126 Hertford an
nounced today the calendar
of Halloween activities to be
conducted during the week
of October 28-31.
"The American Legion is
particularly interested in
'Making Halloween a Safe
and FunvNight," Post
Commander Roy Ball said.
Halloween is usually
accompanied by happy
thoughts but in some
households this year it will
be a sad occasion because of
the death or injury of a child
member of the family.
Children cr,oss dark street
on trick-or-treat expeditions
and many -are injured or
killed anually by
automobiles.
Still other types of
catastrophes have happened
in the past, such, as candy
dipped in ant poison, lead
poison or some other caustic
material, being given to
children as a treat.
It is unrealistic to think
that trick-or-treat will soon
be stopped as a Halloween
activity. Why not encourage
the children to do this right
after school, perhaps from
3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and
before the evening meal?
Parents should see that the
children never eat any
treats until, the parents
themselves have had a
chance to sort throilgh the
goodies
If the ' children wear
costumes, parents should
see that those garments are
flame resistant material. If
the costumes treated with
flame-resistant material
are washed or cleaned, they ;
loose their fire resistant
properties. These should be
treated after cleaning or
discarded when dirty.
Children have difficulty
seeing when they wear
Halloween masks because
of the small slits for the
eyes. Costumes or stage
make-up can be used rather
than a mask. -
Reflective tape should be
applied to the arms and legs
of the costumes or costumes
with reflective decorations
should be used after dark.
