SUDDEN DEATH
sss.e $sss SUMMER HAZARD

Ssssi iii end, The grim. set
.frfg for Sudden death by drowning
and automobile crashes, this year
will claim more lives than my other
corresponding periods OF the year,
according to a statement appealing
for greater safety precautlon issued
by the American Red Cross.
On our beaches and highways,
some 100000 persons are destined to
die throughout the year-the re-
suit of the steady annual march of
death by accident. Fatalities over
the Fourth of July weekend hurl
desperate challenge to swimmers
and motorists planning trips during
the summer, ending with Labor
Day.
The nations accident mortality
toll for the four-day independence
Day weekend points to a startling
trend in the cause of accidental
death.
Automobiles were the instrument
of death for 277; drowning claimed
the second largest number of vic
Tins, with a total of 183, and fire
work, the one time scourge of
Fourth of-July celebrants, was at
the bottom of the list with only
four deaths to it's discredit.
Death on the Highway
Deaths from automobile accidents
and drowning are not, unfortunate
lily, confined to the Fourth of July.
They headed the death list of the
Memorial Day weekend; they will
rank in first and second place dur
ing the approaching Labor Day

furnished for a number Of children
whose eyeSight was bad, and several
blind women were helped during the
year.
Baskets were furnished for some
needy persons at Thanksgiving, and
at Christmas the club furnished food
and clothing for one or two families
in want of aid. A magazine rack is
kept at Maria Parham hospital,
where members furnish magazines
for the staff and patients, and sub
scription to a magazine is given
yearly to the Perry library.
The membership of the club has
grown to about SIS, many Of whom
are charter members Meetings are
held in homes of the various mem
bers, but it is the hope of the club
that it will at some future date have
a club house Of its own for meetings
and entertainments.
Much time is spent by the pro-
gram committee on its work, and at
the first of the year each member is
presented printed program in book
let form which includes the list of
members, officers, and programs for
each meeting.
The club is very proud that one
of its members, Mrs. A. w. Ghol-
son, Jr., is president of the fourteenth
district of the North Carolina Fed
GRAFTON of Woman's clubs. She is the
only member Of a junior club who
holds a district presidency.
Several years ago the local club
became a member of the State Fed
Grafton, and the past year became
affiliated with the national organi-
zatiOn.
Headed by M rs I. Talmadge Hoyle
for the coming year, the Junior
Woman's club is already very busy
on plans for future work. During
1939-4O it intends to stress its public
welfare work, and hopes to launch
it's drive for Junior Woman's club
house.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31

The Henderson Junior Woman's
club has the distinction of being the
first Junior club organized under
the North Carolina Federation Of
Womans clubs, and it is one of the
few junior clubs in the State func-
tiOning in a community in which
there is no senior club.
The club was formed in 1926, as
a branch of the Woman's club, of
which Mrs j. T. Alderman was
president The committee in charge
was composed of Mrs. j. L. Wester,
chairman, Mrs. S. R. Watson, and
Mrs. T. NJ Pittman, with Mrs. Wes-
ter as sponsor.
The entire membership numbered
about 43, with not one over 16 years
of age, including the president. Of
ficers for the first year were: Eliza
beth Mills Mrs. Andrew j. Finch),
president; Maria Parham (Mrs. Cur
tbs Gary), Vice-president; Lucille Rux,
secretary; and Virginia Allen, treas
lrer. The membership committee
was Mary Addie Hayes, Betsy Rose
Jones, and Katherine Turner.
The clubs outstanding work in its
initial year was the presentation Of
bird bath to the Perry Memorial
Library, where monthly meetings
were held.
For the next two years, Mrs. Alex
Cooper was club sponsor. A Japanese
play was presented during that time,
and the club took over the support
of tubercular family.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Asa
Parham, the club presented an Atlas
and dictionary stand to the library.
ing and loan stock, paying for one
year in advance, which on maturity
was donated to the then active Wo-
mans club for its building fund.
The Junior club, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. j. w. Cooper, did social
work at Christmas, trying to bring
:heer and comfort in the way Of food
clothing, and toys to the needy
antilles in the mill district It as
isted charity organizations in COL
Getting clothing, and sold tickets for

In 1881, Mrs. E. A. Latta was made
sponsor, a position which she still
holds. The clubs social work was
furthered, with the decoration of a
tree in the county hospital baby ward
being added to its duties. It also had
charge Of the tuberculosis seal sale
for one day.
Mrs. w. D. Payne and Miss Eliza
beth Cooper (Mrs. William Waddill)
were appointed co-sponsors by the
Woman's club. The club began Civ
ing dances, usually about two year,
the receipts from which paid in large
part for the charity work done dur
ing the year. The custom of sponsor
ing dances has continued, until today
the club is we'll known in this sec
ton of the State for the success, both
financially and socially, of its dances.
Several years ago Mrs. J. M. Peace
was made cO-sponsor with Mrs.
Latta, as a representative Of the
Woman's Tuesday club.
Today the Junior Woman's club is
considered one of the most active of
the civic and philanthropic clubs in
Henderson, and it takes part in many
of the more important enterprises
undertaken here. It has sole charge
of the sale of Christmas tuberculosis
seals. proceeds from which 60 to-
