4 CRESWQI WOMAN’S CLDB PRESIDENT , COMMENTS ON STATE CONVENTION ii, “Preservation of Democracy For Youth” Theme Os Meeting; 3,000,000 Members Potent I H Factor In Nation’s Affairs L- m ’ ■ ■■■' ■■" ■ • * Delightful in every respect was the State convention of Woman’s Clubs held recently in Raleigh, and impres jjl sions gleaned from this meeting are herewith presented by Mrs. A. H. Tucker, president of the Creswell Woman’s Club: “What a wonderful experience it would have been for every club wom- P an in North Carolina could she have shared in the inspiring events which l > took place at the State Convention ' ,last week! To an outsider it would A ,-have been interesting to have played jf the role of audience to an imaginary * play. Truly there were present just such colorful and distinguished per sonalties as it would take to make a great drama—what, with the Gover nor of North Carolina present on more occasions than one with his friendly manner toward everyone, and with Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, presi dent of General Federation, there on opening night to give the events of the entire drama, meaning—an epi logue as it were. “Statements were made or deep truths were uttered, that will be close to the hearts of club women this next club year and perhaps in all the years to come. Who knows? We . are on the verge of a new order of , things, and an organization 3,000,000 strong in numbers must surely expect to take an important hand. The theme of the Convention was “Pre ■> servation of Democracy for Youth.’ P That in itself is enough to show us that the new order will be concerned most with our children. “One of the most important thoughts that Mrs. Dunbar gave the delegation was the one dealing with the strength of membership of the Woman’s Clubs today. She stated that it could be a dangerous strength used in the wrong way or a safe guarding strength, for our nation even, used in the right way. Imag_ ine 3,000,000 voices united as one voice! She said that that voice might be heard above the roaring din of mistrust and insecurity so preva lent at this time, that that voice might even preserve peace in a war threatened nation should we use our strength intelligently. What is the intelligent way? The way begins in each woman’s life. Mrs. Dunbar brought out specificiaUy that there! is no America except it be inbred in! L each individual. The state is not| ■ America! The United States is not' W America! You are America! I am; , America! Therefore, we must begin j f at home to Americanize our citizenry in the proper way. Lately it has , been the policy to shove our burdens on to the shoulders of the State and . Nation. We have seen the failure of j this policy and realize that w r e must begin to see the way to shoulder our own responsibility. The principles of Christianity are what we need to build I NOTICE!

BUNCH || Sheriff of Chowan County on in order to preserve democracy. The greatest aim is to make our communities hold our young people and influence them to be the charac ters we will be proud to have take our places when we can no longer serve. “The prayer in every club presi dent’s heart is that her members will help her to put into effect the inspir ed plans she began to formulate while yet in the presence of Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar on opening night. And that prayer will be answered, for their children are looking to them with out stretched hands, and with the appeal, ‘Don’t let Democracy slip from our land! Give us the training and en vironment, the heritage of character even, that will mold our beings into noble, self-reliant citizens. Put a beacon in our hands to light the way in dark and gruesome moments!’ What manner of light shall that be? A light aglow with the resplendent principles of Christianity. “The climax oi these dramatic events might be said to have taken place on closing night when Dean Lloyd of Biltmore College spoke on ‘The Speech of the South.’ He stat ed that the South has a heritage to be proud of in its originality of speech. “When all ideas received from the convention are pooled we find that the big idea was and is ‘Preservation of Democracy for Youth,’ and may each club woman do her best to make this theme an actuality.” I 38 Jailed During Month Os April According to Jailer Shelton W. Moore’s monthly report to the Coun ty Commissioners Monday, there were 38 sojourners in the county jail dur ing April.
