In a declaration of principles
drawn up by the General Fedora
Ion of Women's clubs and sub
mitted to Secretary of State Ed
ward R. Stettinius, Jr., last Satur-
day by Mrs. LaFen Dickinson.
president Of the organization, the
request is made that Commission
of Human Rights and Fundamental
Freedoms be included in the set
up of the United Nations organlza-
ton to be formed at San Francis
CO or April 25th.
To this end the General Fedora
ton urges the American d7lega-
ton at the San Francisco confer
ence to submit a concrete sug-
gestion fer the inclusion Of a Com
mission of Human Rights and Fun
damental Freedoms under the
economic and Social Council pro-
vided Tor in the Dumbarton Oaks
Proposals, which viii guarantee
the consideration Of individual in
Justices which lead to war, ana
the protection of sociological rights
of human beings essential to splr-
itual as well as material growth.
Mrs. J. Henry Highsmith, presi-
dent of the North Crolina FEEDER
alton, subscribes to these prlnc1-
pies and has so expressed herself
in a telegram to Mr.. Stettlnlus.
She joins Mrs. Dickinson in call
ing upon clubwomen to show
united front in supporting the Gen
eral Federation's stand for world
organization which will minimize
the chances of future wars, not
only through the use OF force to
prevent aggression but through the
guaranty of individual rights and
freedoms.
AS clubs continue to meet and
study the Dumbarton Oaks Pro-
posals, it is suggested by Mrs.
Highsmith that they give full con-
sideration 10 this proposal from the
General Federation.
Reports of fine meetings at which
the proposed world organization
was studied and discussed continue
to come into Federation head
quarters. The Benson Woman
club had one of its own mem
bsrs, Mrs. w. E. Denning, prepare
and give talk on the Dunbarton
Oaks Proposals. It was OF such
interest nd excellence that the To-
al paper reported it in full. Mrs.
Denning discussed the six main
points at length and declared,
they are the only blueprint so far
nroduced by which any form OF
International organization for
peace may be charted by you and
me-"
The Statesville Junior Service
LAaeue mas arranged county
wide meeting to be held next Tues
day evening in the Statesville high
school auditorium with Honorable
Clyde R. Hoey the speaker. An IN
yitation is extended to all club
women in the vicinity of States
vile, and citizens generally. to
hear the peace proposals discussed
by the junior United States Sena-
tor from North Carolina, who is
a student of international relations
and has often declared himself in
favor of a world organization to
prevent war.
A number of inquiries have been
received by Mrs. Highsmith as to
whether scholarships available
from the Sallie Southan Gotten
Loan fund may be awarded to
teachers holding B certificates,
& who wish to take six weeks
course in Bible teacher training.
The answer is yes. A number of
500 scholarships are available for
teachers holding A and B certifi-
cites, and the Federation officials
are most anxious that qualified
teachers shall apply to Mrs. ]. M.
Hobgood, Farmville, for scholar
ships. North Carolina is the first
State in the Union to include the

its educational program, if they
hold an A or B certificate and
have had six weeks of Bible teach
