RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GENERAL
FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
AND THE STATE FEDERATION
By LOUIE P. MART-IN
The General Federation of Wo
men's clubs is 8,000,000 strong. It is
the mother organisation of the State
Federation, and upon its plans of or
ganisation and operation our State
organisation is patterned. The pro
grams, working plans, etc., for com
mittees and departments are furnish
ed the State regularly through the
corresponding chanels of the General
Federation. Any information desired
by any Club, or club women, in any
state may be secured through the
General Federation head-quarters.
Speakers, who through any other
bureau, would cost-from one to two
hundred dollars, will be sent from
the General Federation for only
travling expenses. This General Fed
eration is not only a national asset,
but it has acquired international in
fluence.
Let us here in North Carolina put
away forever the thought that the
General Federaion of Womens Club
is a far away organisation, located
up there at our national capital
something remote in which we have
little interest
How is this organisation financed ?
Like ail similar organisations, it it
supported by dues. There was a time
when each club was assessed 25 cents
dues each year for the General Fed
eration. Each club, whether large or
small, paid th« same 25 cents. As the
club movement spread, and the ac
tivities of the organisation increased,
there came a demand for increased
income. The directors of the club
- movement are now asking every club
woman to pay 10 cents per capita lor
dues to the General Federation. But
strange to say, there are only 16
clubs in Narth Carolina whose mem
bers are willing to pay the 10 cent?
per capita. Mrs. McKee, who is Di
rector of the General Federation foi
North Carotin*, thinks the reason for
this, is because the women do not
understand their relation to the Gen
eral Federation, aer their obligation
to it. Thirty states at the forty-eight,
have adopted Universal Membership 1
that is, they are' paying JO cents pet
caj ita for every club woman in thai i
state organisations. According to a
new ruling, states will not pay the
26 cents per dab dues to the General
Federation. In other words, the only
dues paid this year to the General
Federation fiom North Carolina wi !
be the dues from the 16 clubs paying
the 10 cents per capita to the Genert.
Federation, while 206 clubs will no
pay a penny.
Do you not feel that we owe ou
General Federation our financial sup
port? More money is actually comiti*.
into North Carolina each year froir.
the General Federation than we art
paying to it.
With these facts before you, Mrt
McKee hopes that the State organicn
tions will respond to her appeal ir
large numbers, and will decide tr
adopt the plan of putting into of
General Federation as dues the 1C
cents per capita. This is a matte i
which must be decided by each club.
To quote from Mrs. O'Berry's let
ter to the President: "In makinr
your decision whether or not you wil
take out direct membership, yot
should not regard it in th« light ©'»
an obligation resting upon you, bu'
as Nan opportunity to have the direr
contact with the General Federation

MANY pioneer tobacco farmers! recall when the growing
of tobacco first began in Eastern North Carolina. It
was just about the same time that Mr. Royster began the manu- J?
facture of fertilizers at Tarboro. This new crop was the chief
subject of interest among the farmers, and naturally Mr. Roy
ster immediately began to study its needs with respect to fer
» J d '
tilizers.
W „ . ' ' 'yp- - ■

SiVice that time North Carolina has steadily gone to the front
as the greatest obacco - growing State in the Union, and her
bright tobacco crop brings the highest average price. ROY
STER'S TOBACCO FERTILIZERS have kept step with its
progress, and today more of them are sold in the bright tobacco - .
belt than any other brand. All that motiey, experience, and
skill could do has been put into the making of them.
