AN APPEAL TO CHURCH
WOMEN TO HELP RAISE
THE MORAL STANDARDS
(Printed by request)
(Issued by the Executive Board oi
the Woman's Auxiliary to the Pre
siding bishop and Council.)
(Concurred in by the National Com
mittee of the Church Service League,
which "puts itself on record as be
ing entirely an sympathy with and
heartily endorsing this appeal.")
"Show me you women and I wilj
tell you what you are," said a wise
udging a nation—ja remark
which recognizes the fact that the
standards and habits of women large
ly shape the destiny of mankind.
Wa believe that the position and
character of American women has
been a great asset in the life o fthis.
nation, and that, through increasing
opportunities to express her ideals,
the American woman has a still great
er contribution to make.
At this rrfbment of our history, how
ever, partly as a result of the worlo
upheaval, we are facing a condition
which is not onyl deplorable, but one
which seems to reflect unpleasant!)
on the tfsneral character of our wo
manhood and calls for denouncement
and correction by al 1 right-thinking
women. »
Reality, we are told, is ttoe note
of this post-war period, and it Would
seem thrft the emphasis is on the real
ity of al Ithe forces conducive to the
breakdown of high moral standards
This ,is manifested in every circh
of society, and in every phase of life
but particularly in the habits of oui
women, young and older, as shown in
the decline of reticence, indecent dres
improper dancing, gambling and a gei
eral. indifference to reasonable safe
guards of proper conduct.
Reports which are .prinicpally hys
terical 'gossip should be igonred, Iw
accurate testimony from all over th>
country makes an appalling picture
some o fwhich, at least, ha :t coun
terpart in every community.
To these distressing condtiions tlii
serious attention of every woman i
the church is called, for certain!;
there never was atime when Christini
women were more needed to help em
phasiy.e Clirisitian standards.
The most effective thing we can d
now is to take concerted action t
prove that as Christians, we "hate thi
evil and love the good," belleVt
that life should be a clean and joy
ous thing, reflecting our rccognitiof
of God our Father and the loving,
leadership of Christ our Saviour.
Then we ought to recognize that it
is a waste of time to shift responsi
bility for the present state of affairs
As women we are all in a measure to
blame, either through ignorance, in
difference or silent acquiescence, il
not by actual positive
Moreover, as American Christian
women we are responsible for certair
ideals and conduct, making for "th»
righteousness that exalteth a nation.'
There is no virtue in prudery, am'
the surest way to dispose of insidius
evil is to counteract it with "whatso
ever is true, honest, just, pure, loyelj
and of (food report."
For this task the Executive Boar*
of the Woman's Auxiliary, represent
the oldest and latest body, of
women organized for service in tlv
church, seeks the cooperation of a!
our women, and suifgexts that th«
Christian women of this nation joir
in an endeavor definitely to expies'
the standards of Christian womanhoo.
through what they say and do an
the things they Countenance. Sufel
the religion we profess makes earl
of us peculiarly responsible to act a
"an example of the believers in word
in conversation, in charity, in spirit
in faith, in purity." (
This Board further recommends to
all the women's organizations in the
church that they take immediate ac

A SIT.UKSTION TO SWEARERS
Among the many thousands of
soldiers re ently sent to the Mexican
border, not a few were in the habit
of using profanity, sometimes with
lesigned emphasis, but often unconsci
ously.* A strong check tl the habit
was made by the Y. M. C. A. workers
in the campu who presented t. any
sohtdter who wps swearing in or
round the Association li
little printed card with these words
upon it:. "If you mu*t swear, please
put it in writing!" It is reported that
the hint was usually effective, though
"sometimes it was necessary to back
up the card by the presentation of
paper and pencil, which never failed
to bring about the desired result."
ti.n to help place the social side ot
our life on a saner basis.
For which the following suggestions
a.~e made:
Firut: That the approval of Bishop
and clergy he sought in our attempt
to bring this whole subject befon
our people.
Second: The formation of commit
tees in every commuityn to arrange
(aI Plans to arouse parents to th
necessity for strengtheninf and safe
guarding the ideals of American
homes by mantiaining Christian stan-
life and training for the
children of this generation.
(b) For meetings w'ljh mothers and
other thinking women for the. consid
eration of the things which are oler
ated today in society, with a view t
eliminating the obnoxious features,
such as indecent dresjr."tlie paAitinii
of faces, improper dancing, joyriding
vulgar conversation, swearing, etc.,
etc.
(c) For meetings with girls when,
the influence and conduct of women
may be discussed in a sympathetic and
intelligent manner.
(d) For presentation of the evib
of vulgar an dsuggestive moving pic
tures, promiscuous dance halls, immoi
al plays, and literature, either in book
or magazine form—for the puropse of
formin gsufficient public opinion t
guard against these things and tt
provide wholesome and attractive rec
reation and amusement.
(e) For the formation of influential
groups of women and girls, in every
community, who refuse to sanctior
those things which, according to Chris
tian teaching, lower the standards of
life and thought.
Finally we recomend that where- j
everthere are organizations already
considerin gthis matter, "the above
committee act as far as possible in
cooperation with them.

RED CROSS MEMBERS
ENGAGE IN NEW WORK
Wherever there, is u Keil Croaaj
chapter in the South,' Jhere must be
one member out of three sewing on
baby clothes today if that chapter is
doing its share to clothe the babies
of Europe.
When the Red Cross recently under
took the task of providing clothing
for 250,000 newborn babies in Central
Europe and 500,000 boys arid girls
from one to fourteen years of age,
no definite quota was set for any
division.
Hut an estimate was made at nati
onal headquarters in Washington that,
on the basis of Red Cross member?
thhroughout the nation, every chaptei
must provide one ' garment to each
three members aYtd one 'layette—an
outfit for newborn - to each
twenty five members, if the supply is
to meet the demand.
The reorganized southern division
includes the states of Flordia, Georgia.
North Carolina South Carolina, Tenn.
Alabama, Louisiana, Missippi, and
Virginia. »
"Are one out of three of your mem
bers making some garment for child
ren, and are one out of every twenty
five making layettes?" is the question
officials at division headquarters are
asking chapters in the South—"lf not.
get your workers together and do
yopr share."
C. T. T. S. SUMMER TERM IS
-tyfORE POPULAR THAN EVKK
The outlook for the IS>2l summei
tenn of the East Carolina Teachers
Training School is brigther than ever
For a number of years the Summei
School at this institution has beef
exceedingly popular because student
taking the full eight weeks' term get
credit for one-third of a schohol yeai
thereby advance the grade of theii
certificate very rapidly. This is rec
ognized as a place to «o for real worl'
for the summer term is run under th
same regulations as the regular ses
sions of the school.
The 1921 Summer term i « more pop
ular than ever because the hoard o)
trustees of thift institution Ims re
cently approved and authorized a fou l
year course of study leading to a de
Kree. One term's work of this coursi
will be given this summer and already
a large number of the graduates o!
the Institution have applied for «4
mission.
The four-yoitr course enables thi
teachers to secure,the state's highest
(trade of certificate, thereby command
inthe best g>lafy> f Not only thi
student body and graduates of thi
school, but all who are interested i>
teacher training are delighted will
this new course. This school alread;
has a well earned reputation for turn
in*; out good teachers ami now it i
offering the teachers better opppr
tunities r.n it makes this advanced
step in teacher training.
This is the one institution in the
state that devotes every energy t .
preparing teachers for the elemental'
schools. Its big problem is to train
teachers for the rural schools and i»
this great "work it has the hearty en
dorsement and cooperation of thi.
county. We predict in advance that
every room will be engaged before the
date of opening, June 14, because the
report comes that applications for
rooms are going in rapidly. We would,
advise the teachers of this county,
who anticipate attending this school
next summer to send in their appli-*
cations early. The entire cost for the
eight weeks' session it' only s4r>.iM>
-whkh includes every item of expense
except railroad fare.

COMMISSIONER WADE'S
ATTACK ON BEASLEY
(Special to The Enterprise)
Raleigh.—There is cmisiderable com
ment and some feeling concerning the
statement sent out by state insurance
commissioner Wade concerning the al
I'eged "blue sky" stock operations of
the International Petroleum Company
of San Antonio, Texas, aiul involving
the "business character of Roland B.
Beasley, until recently state commis
sioner of public welfare, and whose
reputation among tlu; people here who
have known him best has been un
questioned. Commissioner Waile stat
ed that the had no state li
cense anil that its efforts to sell blue
sky oil stock to citizens of North Car
olina is illegal; that the company's
advertisements presume top much on
the argument that one of its officers,
Mrs. Bensley, till recently was a state
officer and now represents '.lie oil cor
poration, after having thoroughly ex
amined into the affairs of the compan
anil becoming saitsfled that it was do
ing. a perfectly legitimate business,
etc.
Mr. Bensley has sent word from
Texas that his company has not a sin
gle solicitor for business acting per
sonully as such in North Carolina,
that all its advertising in this state
has been done through the I . S. mail
and that if the company were not
straight the I . S. authorities woulc
have barred it from the use of tin
mail long ago., He adds that ihe rea
son the company has not yet taker
out license in North Carolina is be
cause the tax is prohibitive. As it
has no agents working personally ir,
the state it is not necessary for the
oil company to pay the high license
and that what he and his company i;
doing are both legal and legitimate
Be that as it may, the warning ot
the insurance commissioner against
all blue sky stocks, the purchase ol
same of which the last few yea IT, hat
played the dickens with many North
Carolina investor.*, especially anion*
the farmers, is timely and shouli 1
serve as a caution in the fututie tran
suctions of the sort, no matter whosi
names are connected wilJi the oil and
other ''get-rieji-quick" corieejns .offer
ing stock for sab'.

This meeting should lie attended by
every farmer in the county. You may

'price for it, which is below the cost
of production.

The meeting of the peanut growers
i f Martin County to be hheid in Wil
liamston Thursday afternoon at 2:30
q'c.oek, in the City Hull is one of so
I.l' ill importance that no one inter
e.-tei 1 in the better marketing of pea
nuts can afford to miss it. Those nrku
t'ume will have the Kuod fortune of
bearing the two real leaders of the
farm forces of North Carolina— Or.
11. VV. kilgore, Director of Extension
and Dr. Clarence Hue, Editor of the
Progressive Kijriiier. Theirs is a men-
sage of true progress.
A special, feature of Thursday's
meeting of the peanut growers here
in YVilliamston will bo the organiza
tion nt the Martin County unit of the
Co operative i'eanut Kxchange. The
peanut K lowers of Virginia and North
Carolina have now proceeded so far
in organizing this exchange that the
several counties are perfecting county
orga/iuatwins for the purpose of fully
completing the organization of the
Kxchangc und also for being in posi
tion to render it the greatest! pos
sible assistance when fully organized.
Only last week enthusiastic meet
ings of the peanut growers of Edge
combe and lUdifax Counties were held
and ut each uf these county units were
formed. -Several Virginia counties
have already organized and within the
pext two weeks the wo|k of organiz

pleted. Other county meetings to be
held in North Curolina this week will

Winton that afternoon.
Next week Dr. Kilgore and Dr. I'oe

quimans and ("liowan counties.
The work of securing signers to the
growers' contract in Martin county
has moved steadily forward till now
this county has a good number of
growers who have signed the new
Declaration of Independence and there
is every reasonable assurance that
Martin will give its full quota of
signers.
'Hit' meeting Thursday is open to
the public ami a special ivnitation is
extended to other growers and all bus
inesS men to attend. While this meet
ing is being held especially for the
furtherance of the peanut organisa
tion, the discussions uf the great prin
ciples of cooperative marketing will
prove of special m terest to all grow*
