One of the cur rent requirements for member ship is -50 hours per year in League work: a minimum of 24 hours for League projects; 18 hours in League-approved proj ects; and feight hours in attend ance at scheduled meetings. The League's three major projects are the Country Store, the Caro lina Cookbook, both fund-rais ing projects which help finance their other activities; and Christ mas House, which has taken the place of Empty Stocking. During the League’s 24 years of service, the members have sought to bring to the commun ity’s attention those areas in THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY which need existed. Once the community became aware of what the League was doing in its projects, related agencies subsequently assumed the proj ects. The League’s projects are not static; one has replaced an other as the community has adopted them. The League is a fartigjited service organiza tion which lays the groundwork for benevolent and charitable ag encies. Among the organizations with which the League bias work ed are Girl Scouts. Y-Teens, Red Cross, Community Chest, Tuberculosis Seal Sale, and the Recreation Commission. Some of the League’s activi ties over the years show the di versity of its activities: well baby clinic (1939>; maternity clinic < 1944>; orthopedic clinic (1947); contributions to school lunch funds <19481; Camp Tiny WE SHIP ANYWHERE Now ... at Stvle Craft . . . select the chair or sofa J that’s right for you ... in your favorite frame style custom-tailored in your choice of fabric From the exciting ffitflOOltbCCk co^ec^on , HENRE^I save Iren 26% to 35% ™ For a limited time you can select from luxurious spring-down chairs, sofas, sectionals and love seats in Henredon’s exciting Schoonbeck Collection.
