plagued by jungle sores, foot

Lemonade are dearer than
gold. But, in all wars the foot

enough of the little things that
make life more bearable.
Compounding their physical
hardships is the frustrating
'feeling so prevalent among out
troops that the folks at home
seem to have forgotten. No so

3, and 4 at a location on

Mrs. Joe Fox, in charge of
the evening’s program,
presented Mrs. Wm. Harper.
Mrs. Harper spoke on the
beginnings and the struggles of
the Day Care Center
established by tire negro
residents of the Cragmont
section.
The Center grew from four
children to 17. Under one
teacher the children were cared
for from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m.
five days a week. A few
volunteers relieved the teacher
occasionally.
A hot meal was served the
children each day, and a fine
program of activities was
carried on. Mrs. Harper said
that although the parents
whose children were cared for
paid a weekly fee, the Center
could not have managed
without the generous help
given by local groups and
individuals.
She told of the real struggle
to obtain the use of Carver
School when the fellowship
room at Mills Chapel became
too small. Finally permission
was granted by the County
School Board to allow use of
the school for the summer
only.
The Advisory Board of the
Day Care Center decided to
close the Center for the time
being until they receive word
from the County School Board
that the empty school can be
used. The decision is expected
this month.
If permission is granted, the
Center will apply for Federal
funds to create an approved
Day Care Center for all the
children whose working
mothers need a safe place
where their children will
receive meaningful care.
Following the program a
social hour was enjoyed by the
group. Those present were:
Mrs. R. T. Greene, Mrs. W. W.
White, Mrs. W. W. Phillips, Mrs.
Joe Fox, Mrs. Max Woodcock.
Mrs. Richard Oulahan, Mrs. A.
F. Tyson, Jr., Mrs. Allen Perley
III, Mrs. Wm. Harper and Mrs.
Gordon who entertained the
dub in her home on Port Man
Villa Road.
