The highlight of the week ,was a dinner meeting on Monday evening at Maynor Manor Community Room in Pembroke where the group program was entitled, “A Salute to Women.” Guest speaker for the occasion was Ms. Tennala A.

Table decorations focused on the theme of the National Federation of Busi ness and Professional Wo men’s Clubs- WOMEN IN AMERICA-WOMEN IN THE WORLD. Small globes with United States Flags were used as centerpieces and flanked by green candatabras on gold cloths to emphasize the Natio nal Federation colors of green and gold. Guests in attendance included Ms. Jane Smith, Chairperson of the Robeson County Democratic Women’s Club, Mmes.

Dorothy SulL’ an, a marketing supervisor with J. C. Penney Company, Freda Jacobson, a radio commentator, and Mari- [ an House, a homemaker. Ms. Gross commended BPW clubs for paving the way for women in the businesses and professions to accept new responsibilities in the world, thereby contributing to our country. She indicated that the most significant change for women has been how women feel about themselves, and the new respectability of the word “woman.” Reviewing the past Ms. Gross stated that in primitive society, both women and men worked hard to survive with little time to reflect on roles, but as new fields opened for men, the women remained at home and were left out of the decision making processes. Women performed narrow, predeter mined roles with little oppor tunities for individuality and were reared with the prevail ing idea of the inferiority of women. Traditionally, history has been negative for women, and if women’s organizations had not been developed, it is highly probable that women would have been left our again. History indicates that there have been no women in the United States Senate in eight years, and that there have been only 19 women in Congress. Turning to the revolution of women, Ms. Gross referred to current achievements of wo men in making herstory. Wo men have been on the frontiers of business management, tea ching, politics, women’s or ganizations, and professional organizations. They have com peted in sports, scholarship programs, have served as , have enter ed the ministry. Ms. Gross encouraged women to contin ue to think courageous about themselves, for as they thaik, they will become more rageous aad will venture out and accoftiplish more as wo men Lad for women, WOMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD - Magnolia's 1 ' Homecoming Queen blood donation dnve Crowned Thursday, October 21, 1976 Magnolia's Elementary Queen The 1976 Ruth Tidwell Award for Woman of the Year was awarded to Ms. Dorothy L.
