also magnificent, and she passes
on to North Carolina clubwomen
the last paragraph of that ad-
dress: The world must have a
social reformation. All peoples of
all races have a right TO health,
education, and opportunity. Equity
and justice rnust be universal, if
we are to have the peace our boys
so bravely fought for and FOR
which we women most long. This
peace must be fought for by each
one of us. Each one of uc must
do something more than hope for
peace"
Mrs. Rishopric br o u 6 h two
other quotations she passes on:
One from Captain Harold Stas-
, sens address: When the minds
of men and women are devoted
to solving their problems they can
find the way, if We believe in the
dignity of man, a free way OF life.
What man can devise through
science he car handle. All real
progress through the centuries has
come because there have always
been some mel who did what men
said could not be DONE"
The other quotation is from the
closing address made by Attorney
General Tom Clark at the Youth
Conservation luncheon, when he
said: Society cannot afford to
continue to deteriorate by allow
ing social and religious progress
to lag behind economic and techni-
cal developments"

There were special thrills for
the North Carolina delegation, in
addition TO hearing the report
given by their president on State
Presidents Night, Of the fine work
done by their own Federation. One
of these thrills was announcement
that North and South Carolina had
led all the states in contributions
to the Marathon Mound Of Cloth
to be sent to Greece. Each had
over 1000 to her credit, but Mrs.
Bishopric was confident that adj
ditional cloth on the way to Chi
cago from North Carolina would
put her considerably ahead of her
sister state in the final count.
This mound of cloth syn'bolized
the power, the heart. the almost
unbelievable speed" said Mrs.
Bishopric, with which the clubs
can move. What we would not give
to look in OH the sewing rooms
in Athens where volunteer Greek
women will make new garments
for their war stricken children,
and see the gratitude in their eyes
as they realize that love, sympa-
thy and determination to work for
peace is wrapped up in every
single yard"
Another thrill was the assign
ment of the North Carolina dele
cation as official hostesses to
Madam Pillar H. Linn, wife Of the
Philippine hero Brigadier General
V1ncente Lin, who was taken in
custody by the Japanese after the
surrender of Bataan and who sur
vived the Death March to be killed
by the japanese before VI Day.
Madam Lin is in America to at
tend the graduation of her Oldest
son from Annapolis and to visit
for q year. The delegation enter
tanned Madam Linn at a luncheon
and there received her expression
of gratitude for the work being
done by the North Carolina FEEDER
