Page 4 THE FEDERATION JOURNAL May, 1950 SOME SUGGESTIVE CLUB PROJECTS by MRS. ABNA AGGREY LANCASTER “What shall we do to swell the amount in our treasury? What steps shall we take to increase our funds?” Has your club president ever asked such questions? In reply, another question is asked concern ing efforts made by other clubs to raise money. Perhaps more letters from club women describing such activities would prove most beneficial to all clubs strug gling with the same problem. Have you tried having a “Men’s Fash ion Show”? Then try presenting the well dressed man as he appears at home, at work and at play. Beginning with little boys and their activities and going on through the occupations of adult hood one can use a variety of activities that may require sufficient changes in dress to provide an interesting parade. Ap propriate songs for the occasion will add greatly to the program. The hunter, the fisherman, the physician, the cook, garden er; the man at home lounging, at a formal or semi-formal party at a wedding might be included in the costuming and the parade. Once a year a bazaar is good to have. Contributions of articles made my women and even by men of the community, should be solicited and afterwards dis played attractively for sale. Aprons, pot holders, bed spreads, quilts, embroidered and crocheted articles may be offered for sale. Womanless Weddings being so comi cal usually attract a crowd. A prize to the best dressed “lady” serves as another in teresting feature. Apron and necktie parties, old fashion ed “tacky parties, and “tacky hat” parties are well worth trying. At a recent “tacky Hat” party much of the fun came from the winner of the prize having to wear the hat throughout the evening and also having to wear her comical creation home. Send in some of your ideas." By shar ing our fun, we may add several dollars to the treasury of our clubs. ■p Loyal Members of Moore County Federation It Is Not Easy . . . To apologize. To begin over. To be unselfish. To take advice. To admit error. To face a sneer. To be charitable. To keep on trying. To be considerate. To avoid mistakes. To endure success. To keep out of the rut. To think and then act. To forgive and forget. To make the best of little. To subdue an unruly temper. To maintain a high standard. To shoulder a deserved blame. To recognize the silver lining— But it always pays. —Selected MOORE COUNTY CLUBS (Continued from Page 1) in Southern Pines, the fifteen clubs com prising the Moore County Federation, are sharing the responsibility of caring for the State Federation through financial assist ance and the opening of their homes to delegates. The necessary preparation for entertain ing the Federation has not hindered the local projects that have been their chief “concern since the first clubs were organ ized. They have not failed to give their financial support to the American Red Cross, the March of Dimes, the Tubercu losis Drive, the Children’s Ward at the Sanatorium, the girls of Dobb’s Farm, the boys of the Morrison Training School, and the children of the Oxford Orphanage. Aside from state and national funds the clubs have contributed to the sick of their immediate communities, and helped in whatever capacities they were needed. The meetings were held with every club throughout Moore County. The contacts of local clubs with the County club in creased the enthusiasm for the state meet ing and brought many new members into the local clubs. The presidents of the local clubs are as follows: Mrs. L. A. Marks of Southern Pines, Mrs. Tarba T. Brown of Carthage, Mrs. R. B. Crutchfield of Pinehurst, Mrs. Lillie Leak of Jackson Springs, Mrs. L. E. Ferguson of Mount Zion, Mrs. Sylvia Mc- Kenny of Eastwood, Mrs. Ollie Harrington of Cameron, Mrs. Catherine Brower of Eagle Springs, Mrs. Ora O’Neil of West End, Mrs. Anna Rose of East Pinehurst, Mrs. Francis Little of Addor, Mrs. Maddie Davis of High Falls, Mrs. Dorothy B. Shaw of Morrison, Mrs. Eliza Coles of Aberdeen, Daughters of Dorcas Club Song I Daughters of Dorcas Lord may we True Daughters of Dorcas ever be. Even as Thy servant toiled of old Humbly working in the Master’s fold Using her needle day by day Serving her Lord in her own way Working together in one accord True Daughters of Dorcas ever be Seeking always to serve Thee. II Daughters of Dorcas day by day Helping someone along life’s way Speaking a kindly word of cheer To some soul discouraged here A cup of water, the widows mite Both are precious in his sight So may we work in Thy name Not for self or earthly gain True Daughters of Dorcas ever be Seeking always to serve Thee. (Words and music by Mrs. M. L. McDouglad) and Mrs. Charley Brown of Shady Grove. Through the able leadership of the President of the Charlotte Hawkins Brown Chapter Mrs. Edna B. Taylor, the clubs of Moore County are making final prep aration for the state meeting May 19-20.
