contributions that various lead- J
ers have made and are making.
She reminded us that we are )
always making history, for from v
day to day all of us are making
history ? whatever the im- j
portance of it. The history of .
great leaders serves to "inspire
us and motivate us", she said.
A record was played, and we (
were privileged to hear voices
of a number of individuals who
have helped to make the history
of the Negro. Also, portraits of 1
many of our outstanding leaders 1
were circulated among the members.
Truly it was a rewarding
evening.

p.m. today. That would make it
possible for council to approve
letting the contract at its regular
meeting next Monday when
items discussed today will be
acted upon.
But, good news for city officials
proved not such good
news for some Greensboro citizens
? residents of South Benbow
Park Community who oppose

Officials of the South Benbow
Community club declared the
bridge will damage the character
of the neighborhood, posing
increased traffic hazards.
Their pleas to junk the bridge
