This program was entirely in the
hands of the club members from
inception to its execution. "Hats
off' to a job well done!
Elsewhere in the paper a more
detailed account of this meeting
will appear as submitted by Mrs.
A. B. Chandler Sr., county publi
city chairman.
In passing we would want to
comment briefly on the message
and challenge that our speaker,
Mrs. Ralph Proffitt, brought to
us. Mrs. Proffitt has recently re
turned from a tour of the part of
the world where hunger, poverty
and disease are rampant- This is
generally known about the middle
East. Certainly she had no solution
to a problem of such proportions
and one that has been with them
down through the centuries. The
colored slides that we saw brought
these problems very close to us
For example, when she told us
how "precious" water is to people
in the parched, avid countries and
showed a picture of the public well
In one place, made possible
through American aid.

nation for the convention of the

vantage of extending their tour
while they were in this troubled
area of the world.
Mrs. Proffitt explained the loca
tion of Ceylon by saying to ?hinfc
of it as a "tear drop" just off the
Southeastern coast of India. Cey
lon is self-governed and is some
what of a contradiction to the sur
rounding area in that the children
appear to be healthy and sanita
tion does not present such a prob
lem.
The influence of women is begin
ning to be felt there and we were
told that we must make an effort
to keep informed and to try to un
derstand peoples throughout this
part of the world. They are at the
"Crossroads" and the road that
they choose is of great concern to
us
