SEVERN - Dr. Gilbert T. Ste
phenson of Warren Place, Pen
dleton, was the featured speaker
of the education department of
the Severn Woman’s Club at its
regular meeting on November 11
In the Community Building. He
was Introduced by Mrs. Ruth
Anderson, chairman of the de
partment.
Dr. Stephenson used as his top
ic, “The Negroes’ Special Needs
for Education and Our Part in
Helping Them’’ and stated that
he would confine his remarks to
the Negroes of Kirby Township,
Northampton County and North
Carolina, and to the youth, par
ents and grandparents of those
local Negroes. He proceeded to
show the needs under three areas:
economical, dietetics, and voca
tional training. He gave a com
prehensive picture of the lack of
knowledge In handling money, in
providing regular and balanced
meals and in training in the high
ly scientific farming practices
and suggested ways in which we
might help. First, as Christian
citizens we must use our influ
ence to see that advantage is
taken of the many available serv
ices In training, adult as well as
youth; to see that funds be ob
tained to advance classes for
adults; and to get the newly cre
ated Good Neighbor Council, with
Perry Martin, chairman, to take
positive action in promoting vo
cational training among the Ne
groes.
The devotions for the meet
ing were led by Mrs. Hugo Um-
stead. Reports were made on the
UNICEF collection which
amounted to $40. The president,
Mrs. Cecil Maddrey appointed a
nominating committee: Miss Una
White, chairman; Mrs. Viola Ed
wards; and Mrs. D. S. O’Neal.
The December meeting will be
held at the VEPCO building In
Roanoke Rapids at 8 p.m. on De
cember 9 with Miss Faye Tart,
home economist for VEPCO, as
speaker.
The hostesses for the meet
ing were Mrs. R. p. Watson,
