In a meeting of youth club lead

the following Organization and
Program plans were outlined.
They were presented to the N. C.

The Board of Directors ex
pressed need for a program with
the Youth Federated Clubs beyond
that limited to “entertaining” the
adult group. A program giving the
girls experience, instruction and
materials on youth problems,
careers, etc. current for the day is
necessary. This requires time and
planning. Therefore, they voted to
request a one-day Annual State
Youth Federated Convention, which
is not to be held at the same time
as that of the parent body.
Time recommended is the sec-
cond or third Saturday of April
each year.
The Planning Committee for
these conventions will be made up
of the Director and the four Dis
trict Advisors with any other per
sons they select, be it youth or
adult.
A copy of the present Youth
Federated Clubs Constitution was
read and copies will be made for
distributing in each district by the
advisors.

1. A separate record of all youth
federated funds will be kept by
youth officers. (Sec & Tres.).
2. All monies will be collected
and received by youth secretary
and treasurer: supervised by an
adult. These funds will be turned
in by the youth treasurer to the
treasurer of parent body taking
here receipt therefore.
3. These funds shall be drawn
by orders on the signatures of the
director and Sec. of Board of Di
rectors.
It was recommended that at
least one scholarship from the
parent body be ear-marked for a
girl who is a member of the Youth
Federated Clubs in good stand
ing. Advisors should approve such
applications. The Youth Federated
Clubs should contribute to the par
ent body Scholarship Fund an
nually.
Further Recommendations:

Fund, to the Cale Street Youth
Center, to the county library and
Brov/nie Scouts. She saves a lot
of time for her church, the Mount
Lebanon AME Zion Church, where
she teaches Sunday School and
plavs an important role in other
activities.
Recently Mrs. Spellman went to
Chapel HUl to participate on the
program of the Governor’s Com
mittee on Juvenile Delinquency
and Youth Crime. There she dis
cussed community crimes dealing
with the subject and, according to
reports, she did an excellent job.
That’s because she was talking
from personal knowledge. She has
seen much juvenile delinquency
and youth crime right here at
home but she is doing something
about it.
Mrs. SpeUman is trying to get the
home, school and church to work
together in recognizing the situa
tion rather than merely making
excuses for it. She also works with
welfare authorities and other gov
ernment agencies. Her main goal
is to help those who need help the
most. She knows if she can get a
juvenile delinquent on the right
road she has produced a good cit
izen. There is no limit to what
can be accomplished if sufficient
good citizens can be made possible.
Elizabeth City — in fact, the en
tire State — needs more leaders
like Mrs. Spellman who recognizes
a problem and acts to correct it.
