Those Big Pocketbooks
Always Come In
Have you ever seen
those laches who always
have to carry around those
big pocketbooks. I’m one of
those laches. They jokingly
call me the “tag” woman
at work, but I don't mind-—
I always know that if 1
need something...and I
mean anything, I’ll always
have it. That's the problem
with leaving your bag at
home or opting to carry the
small purse. Everytime I
leave my tag (really it’s a
leather book bag) or my
big purse at home I always
need something.
-Whenevcmmaoe needs
a safety pin or whenever
it’s been raining and some
one needs to use a hot
curler, they always come
to - me - I have it. If
someone has a button miss
ing.„“see Teresa, she has
everything.”
I heard someone talk
about another “bag” lady.
They said to her, “I bet you
have everything in that bag
except a toothbrush and the
kitchen sink.” The lady
proudly produced a tooth
brush.
I say proudly because I
J'NH' hnw nhr feds. If I
went home today and my
house was destroyed, I
could survive...I have my
bag. I am thinking serious
ly about one thing.. .buying
a kitchen sink. The next
time someone says to me,
“I bet you have everything
in your bag except the
kitchen sink,” I want to
make sure I have one. I’ll
pull it out and smile, of
course. It’ll just be a minia
ture sink....and maybe I’ll
buy some little miniature.
dish towels, too...just in
case.
The Ivy Leaf and Litera
ry Club met recently at the
home of Ola Jenkins.
Members recently went
on tour in Charleston,
S.C. A report was given
of the excursion by Mrs. M.
Watson and Mrs. Miller.
Other members of the
Literary Club who visited
Charleston included Mrs.
Hethington, Mrs. Gertrude
JWllhUns and Mrs.
Yongue, who was chair
man of the tour.
^■WITH TERESA 8IMMONS M
Teresa
Mrs. Yongue was also re
cently honored as “Mother
of the Year” by the Sun
shine Huh rtf Battfe
hem Center.
An interesting article on
“Mother” was read by
Mrs. Ola Jenkins. The
club also voted to send a
donation to the United Ne
gro College Fund.
A delicious dinner was
served by the hostess at the
meeting’s conclusion. The
president is Mrs. Minnie
Hethington; secretary is
Mrs. Eugene Russell.
I attended the Sunshine
and Rainbow Staffs’ “The
Sky is the limit Fashion
-and Hairstyle Shgw’’ re
cently. Little children al
ways add spice to any
program. So was the case
ip this fashion show. The
best outfit, in my opinion,
was a green Oriental-styled
dress with slits on each side
and a green wide brimmed
hat to match. The model
was equally as classy.
Another thing I liked
about the models were
their size. It seemed ap
propriate to feature models
of varying sizes and
heights since that is the
way the general public is.
Queens were crowned
during the affair: First
place was awarded to ope-'
rator Claudine Blakeney,
the highest ticket seller.
Crowned also was Simara
Hunter, model and assist
ant choreographer. Both
will be featured in the
Johnson C. Smith Home
coming parade this fall.
The people who gracious
ly contributed to the pro
gram are too numerous to
mention in this column. But

i nave to admit I was
looking forward to hearing
Stanley Alexander and his
group. He sounds even bet
tor in person than on radio.
He seems to be such a
modest person. I truly feel
that God has many won
derful adventures in store
for the Stanley AleX&nda-—
Group. Alexander also
plays the piano beautifully.
One of the Alexander
singers - sorry I didn’t get
her name - sang a rousing
rendition of “The Lord’s
Prayer.” And it was a
delight to see Bob Harris
sharing his talents again
within the community. Pro
ceeds from the fashion
show will be used to feed
hungry families in Char
lotte and surrounding
areas.

One evening while visti
ing my godchild I said,
“Would you like to go home
"with us, Tatnika?“She
said, “Yes.” So the
minutes ticked away, then
hours and it was time for
my husband and I to head
back home. But two year
old Tamika had a gleam in
her eye ...she was going on
a voyage with godmother
Teresa and godfather
Charles. She hadn’t for
gotten what I’d asked her -
but I had.
So I see what Andy
Rooney meant when he
said, “Elephants and
grandchildren never for
