With the battle cry Conserve

Women's clubs has launched It's

straight to this state to learn
what had been iniated and how
the program was working. Re
turning to Washington to COM
plete the nine point program
she is presenting to the clubs
of the nation, she has called
upon North Carolina again.

which Miss Scurlock says is not

This program for the year
1947-1948 was released by Mrs,
Highsmith to North Caroline

every club doing something
for the youth of it's communi.

tect their h a h, safeguard
their morals, enrich their per.

good American citizens. Clubs
are warned that this cannot be
done by doing everything fol-

Said In Local Church

Lucille Gore, daughter of Mr..

Fowler, son of Mrs. Luke Fow-
Ter and the late Mr.. Fowler of
this city, took place in the Del
gado Presbyterian church on
October 4 at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. The Rev. c. c. My
ers, pastor of the church, per-
formed the ceremony.
The church was decorated
with southern smilax interspers-
ed with white flowers and white
burning tapers.
The bride wore an aqua suit
with black accessories and
a corsage of red roses.
Miss Clarice Watts was the
BRIDES maid-of-honor and only
attendant. She wore a suit of
cocoa brown with brown access
cries and a corsage of red roses.
Ollon D. Fowler, of Red Springs,
brother of the bridegroom, was
best man. Ushers were r. c..
Fowler and Sammy Wells.
The brides mother wore a
dress of royal blue with dark
accessories and a corsage
of white carnations. The bride
groom's mother wore a dress of
wine color with black &C
c%essories and a corsage of white
carnations.
Following the wedding a re-
ception was held at the home of
the bridegroom's sister, Mrs. E.

we are giving them an oppor-

practice democracy, to take
their places as thinking indi-

With health, recreation, edu-
cation, religion and security in

which clubs are asked to con-

points out that the home is now
the weakest link in Dur chain
of defenses. Divorce and de-
sertion are wrecking too many
homes and robbing them of chill
dren's security and happiness.
Among the things that may be
done, and one that is being done
in a number of North Carolina
communities under club leader
