Gift To Amputee Sparlced By Humane Club CHARLOTTE The Mademoiselle Club, whose aim is to help others, last week presented a telelvision set to 14-year-old Tommy Brown, an amputee. Making the presentation for the club was the Rev. J. F. Wertz, pastor of the New Saint Paul Baptist Church. Club members are. Miss Sallie Bruno, Miss Mattie Wash ington, Mrs. Florence Poby, president; Mrs. Hattie Johnson, treasurer; Miss Ruby Herron, business manager; Mrs. Mar garet Black, Miss Mary Young and Mrs. Jessie L. Davis. Tommy Brown now has a television set and a promise of an education because 12 Negro teen-age girls four years ago wanted “to help their communi ty.” The twelve girls were fre quenters of the Third Ward Re creation Center. There they formed close friendship through participation in teen-age activi ties. As they grew older, ac cording to Mrs. Florence Doby, they decided to start doing something “instead of running in the streets.*' For a theme, they chose “As long as we love, we serve, as long as we serve we love.” B’ood and clothing were given to needy families during Christ mas 1949, a uractice which con tinued through last Christmas. Last Fall, the Mademoiselle Club heard of the plight -of Tommy Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dock Brown. A hi? and run driver had left him with such badly mangled legs until an amputation became neces sary. They set about to furnish the youngster with a set of artifi cial legs. When these were ob tained by the family from an other source, the club switched its sights. A television set was second choice for the bright-eyed boy and through church and com munity donations, it was ob tained and presented. As a continuing project, the club recently undertook to pro vide for the boy’s later school ing. Each of the club members, there are seven, will place one dime each week" into an educa- al fund to insure educational and vocational training when Tommy is older. Current plans also call for a Christmas party for under privileged children. MOUNT HOLLY NEWS By Mrs. Alice R. Sanders Funeral services were held recently for Cornelius Sherrill of Washington, D.
