wrote about ‘Uttte Orphan Annie"
the hbmeless girl hired out for
housework who typified the orphitn
ed girl of the early.lMCs.
NOT ENOUGH NOW
Now then, aren't enough babies
to satisfy the demands of childless
couples. We still have 1,640 insti
tutions in the United States to care
for “dependent and neglected”
children. But ■ less than 5 per oent
. of these children are “full or
phans” eligible for adoption, the:
Children's Bureau reports.
We have become an adoption
minded country. The number of
children adopted each year has
doubled in the past .IS years. There
has been an almost corresponding
increase in babies bom out of
wedlock.
In 1950, the last year for which
statistics, are available, 141,600
babies were born. out of wedlock,
42 per cent of them to teenage
girls. Unwed girls 17 or under gave
birth to 30,000 babies and girls
under 15 to 3,200.
Those children are the major
source for adoptions. Yet less, than
half of such babies adopted by non
relatives are placed in homes
through legal agencies. Others
reach their future parents, through’
individual bargaining. .
MONEY CONSIDERATION
Money is the main consideration
In orgap.iud adoption rings.- In
other cases, adoptive parents pay
only the doctor and hospital bill
for the mother, and the person art
ranging the baby exchange makes
no profit. Such cases aliholt never
are prosecuted, unless the natural
mother sues for the return of her
baby.
Only If a mother knows the
couple and personally gives them
her child for adoption can It be
done legally without agency help.
The "fiction” that the mother does
know the couple, according to one
lawyer, provides one of the major
loopholes for illegal adoptions.
Operators of big time black
market rings usually , have no mor:
than, a telephone contact with the
adoptive parents until the actual
exchange of money and baby. If
certain features of the baby’s back-,
ground, such as religion or mental
capacities of the parents, seem un
suitable, such operators often,
change the “facts” to suit the
situation.
Profits can be huge, and penal
ties are small. One New York

MUSICAL PROGRAM IS PRESENTED
TO ULLINGTON WOMAN'S CLUB
Members of the Lillington Wo
man’s Club heard an interesting
musical program on Friday after
noon when the. club met for its
January session at the Community
Center. Girl Scourts of Troop 16
also staged a court of awards when
•they awarded community service
badges to 19 members. Mrs. M. T.
Phelts, 'leader, and Mrs. Harry
Sshafran. assistant leader, accom
panied them.
Guest musicians were the Rev. L.
C. Pinnix. pastor of the Lillington
Baptist Church, and his wife, botn
vocalists, and their, son, David, pi
anist.
r Mrs. Pinnix In a brief talk on the
• influence of music on the world’s
culture and daily living said, “Mu
sic offers each of us an opportunity
to get away from the ordinary things
• -of life, and afford us new inspire
tion. Good music is as important to
! happy family life as good food and
shelter.”
In an appraisal of the value of
music to our culture, the speaker
reviewed briefly the variajus Schools
of Music, starting with the Classical
when composers followed rules and
laws of composition, an era that
; produced such men as Haydn, Han
del, Beethoven and Bach; The next
• school is referred to as the Roman
tic period when new laws of com
, position were developed; In this
time, Schubert, Schumann and later
Liszt, Chopin and Wagner; the great
individualist, were to be found.
Then the speaker noted, compos
ers began to experiment;with un
usual harmony arrangements cre
ating what is known as the Modem
School. As an example she review
ed the life of Claude Debussey, a
French composer, who has been
very influential on contemporary
composition. In illustration of this
composer’s work, David Pinnix play
ed as a piano solo “Minstrels.”
In America, where' citizens for
over a hundred years were busy
pushing the frontier to the Pacific,
music was long a neglected art,
said Mrs. Pinnix. Puritans were
ma run* uccom). down, w, a
content with doleful renditions of
psalms. Then Stephen Foster wrote
sones which made him, not neces
sarily our best, but our best known
composer. This nation also produced
the spiritual, a distinctive contribu
tion of our Negro race. However,
Edward McDowell was the flirst
American composer to receive in
ternational recognition, the speak
er said, pointing out that he studied
with Debussey in Paris and later
remained to teach there. During
his European stay his compositions
reflected his love of Hungarian mu
sic.
As typical of this period of Mac-
Dowell's life. David Pinnix played
“Hungary,” oy MacDowell as a pia
no solo.
In closing, the Rev. Mr. Pinnix.
sang two solos, "Without A Song,”
and “Deep River,” illustrative of
the spirituals and the program clos
ed with a duet “He's My'Hero,” by
Mr. and Mrs. Pinnix.
Mrs. J. Grady Johnson, club pres
ident, presided and at the business
session members voted to erect a
walk and improve the grounds at
the front of the Community Cen
ter as the club's contribution to
Lillington participation in the Fin
er Carolina Contest. Mrs. Joel Lay
ton Jr., was named to represent
the club on the Finer Carolinas
committee.
Mrs. W. B. Hunter, Mrs. Neill
McLaughlin and Mrs. Neill KeUji
were appointed by the president as
a nominating committee to present
a slate of candidates for club off
ces at the February meeting.
Magnolia foliage and sprigs oi
spruce pine decorated the mantel
and an arrangement of pink and
white gladioli was used on the pi
ano. At the social hour,, ham bis
cuits, date bars, cheese straws and
coffee were served by Mrs. O. S
Atkins and Miss Lois Byrd, host
esses for the afternoon.
