Campaign On To
Locate forgotten'
Widows Os Vets
Service Officers and Vet
* Organizations Ready
To Lend Help
“Claims for sixty war widows, or
phans, and dependent parents have
been filed through the thirteen district
offices of the hjorth Carolina Veter
ans Commission during the two weeks
ending September 30, 1950”, J. M
Caldwell, Director of the North Caro
lina Veterans CaVnmission, reports.
The North Carolina Veterans Com
mission, by and with the cooperation
of all veterans’ organizations in the
State, is conducting a special cam
paign to locate and help all “forgot
ten” war widows, orphans and depend
ent parents of deceased veterans to,
file and develop their claims. The (
campaign has gotten off to a splendid
start.
“Widows of veterans of World War
I whose income is SI,OOO or less a
year are entitled to a pension of $42
a month from the Federai Govern
ment,” Mr. Caldwell points out..
Those widows with children under
certain ages are entitled to extra
compensation provided their income
is not over $2,500 per year.
Service by the veteran must have
been between April 6, 1917, and No
vember 11, 1918, and discharge or re
lease from active duty must have been
under other than dishonorable condi
tions after 90 days or more of mili
tary service.
For the purposes of a pension a
widow must have been married to a
World War I veteran before December
14, 1944, or 10 or more years to the
person who served and must not have
remarried.
District services officers of the J
North Carolina Veterans Commission,:
county veterans service officers and
post service officers of the various
veterans organizations are ready to
assist or advise veterans or their de
pendents on all pension or compensa
tion benefits, and a special campaign
is being conducted by the North Caro
lina Veterans Commission and the
county veterans service officers and
the post service officers of all the
various veterans organizations from
September 15 to December 15 to locate
and help all such eligible widows and
orphans to file their claims properly.

lip Celebration
Tea Party Women Fea
tured By Displays In
Local Windows
Edenton’s Business and Profession
al Women’s Club completed a suc
cessful program during the observance
of Business Women’s Week held Oc
tober 15-21. Attractive posters desig
nating the Federation’s theme “Meas
ure Up For Full Partnership,” fea
turing the Edenton Tea Party women
who “measured up” to their responsi
bilities by refusing to drink unjustly
taxed tea, and thus to inspire the col
onies to fight for their freedom from
England, were on display in local store
windows and created much interest.
This group of public spirited women is
often spoke of as “America’s First
Civic Women’s Club.”
The celebration got underway on
y Sunday, 'October 15, with announce
ment of the club’s selection of the
“Outstanding Woman of the Year,”
which honor went to Mrs. W. S. Sum
merell, beloved 87-year-old pioneer
teacher. The club presented Mrs.
Summerell a dozen red roses on that
day.
Another highlight during the obser
vance of National Business Women’s
Week, was an address iby Mrs. Rich
ard D. Dixon, who spent two years in
Nuremburg, Germany, with Judge
Dixon while he was on the war crimi
nal trials bench. Mrs. Di*on spoke
on “The Activities and Freedom ‘ of.
German Women Compared to Ameri
can Women,” at the business meeting
held Thursday night at the Hotel Jos
eph Hewes. At this meeting the club
was presented a United Nations Flag
by Mrs. Wesley Chesson, Sr., Presi
dent of the County Council of Home
Demonstration Clubs.
During the week also Mrs. Elizabeth
Corbett, a member of the local club
anli of the nursing staff at Chowan
Hospital, who is on leave of absence
for private duty In Rochester, N. Y.,
remembered the chib with a telegram.
Plans for the celebration of UPW
