STILL IN RACE FOR
TREASURER, SAYS G. 9.
SUTHERLAND

I take this means of informing
my friends that any report or
rumor which you may have heard
that I have withdrawn from the
race for Treasurer is without
foundation. I especially want
those delegates who numbered
better than 100 to know this fact,
and also want them to know Of
my appreciation for their conf
dence in me, which they express
ed on the day of the convention.
I intend to make a fair and
honest campaign and will cheer
fully accept the verdict Of the
people at the polls, whatever the
result may be.

| There is no end to the numDer
of projects selected by clubs OF
the North Carolina Federation of
Women's clubs in their efforts to
fcarry out the obJectives of the
federation as stated in its constl-
tuition. A f ew years ago the con-
stitution was revised and the late
Mrs. Palmer Jerman re wrote
the second article. 1t reads:
The object of this Federation
shall be to united the women's
clubs of North Carolina into a
state wide organization for the
promotion of civic, cultural, edu-
cational and social development
of the commonwealth" "
How the clubs are trying to do
this is revealed in reports that
come into Federation headquar-
ters. In addition to carrying out
regularly scheduled programs in
the fields covered by the varl-
Gus departments of the organl-
zation - Citizenship, American
Home, Art, Education, Interna-
tional Relations, Literature, Mu-
sic, Public Welfare - almost
every cub has special p roget
and some of them have several,
all going at the same time. Here
are few highlights Cleaned
from recent eports:
The Columbia Woman's club
has secured a well-trained teach
er and is ready to open a kinder
garten in the town. The cub
sponsors the girls scout troops

Although the Dramatlcs CLUE
play was Friday night, there
was also dance at the Teen
Age club where Nick Ponos and
his orchestra played. This or
chestra was donated by the
American Federation of Musi-
clans here in Wilmington. There
was a very large crowd and 1t
was really treat to be offer ~
such a band. Next Friday night
the Teen-Age club will give
their Christmas dance for mem
bers only. For those college
boys and girls coming home for
the holidays, Mrs. Kester will
let them join any time this
week, but it is too late for those
going to school here in Whining
ton to join. 1t is going to be a
big dance and a large crowd is
expected. Bobby Haas and his
band will play and the ress
will be formal for girls and coat

The ROTC band was a part
of the large parade Friday aft

Claus into Wilmington. The
streets were crowded with en-
children and it turned
out to be a big occasion. Miss
Mickie Harris, "Miss Whining

city to Santa. Mickie graduated
from New Hanover High school
last year and is now attending
ECTC in Greenville.
Monday night the basketball
team will step into the spotlight

to be given by the Dramatlcs
club this year, was a smash MT
Friday night as the cast enter
taineo their audience in a color
t1ll and fast moving, Hungarian
comedy. The club deserves d
hand of praise for presentlng5
this enjoyable play so well. NOT
one. but all, did their own part
to add another laurel to the a.
ready filled wreath. Those help
ing with the play in big way
were Miss Grace Robbins, Eth-

others. The cast included Mary

Last night the Sophomore
class had a barn dance in the
high school gym and they really
had it decorated in that fashion:
Hav surrounded the gym and
saddles, wagon wheels and Ian
terms added to the effect. Dl1-
ferent farm scenes were scat
tered around here and there TO
make you feel the barnyard at
mosphere. The square d@nHers
were called by Mr.. T. W. Keith,
Mr.. Knowles and Miss DOT
Shearin. Although most of those
present for the dance h ad never
tried square dancing before,
they caught on quite fast and
soon everyone was swinging
their partner and promenadlng'
The special feature OF the eve
ming was the floorshow. This m
c1uded different personalities
who are accomplished dancers.
The jitterbug group was: Cath
crime Post with Randy Mc1ver;
Jean Bobbitt with Jackie Britt;
and Beverly Peacock with Jere
Lewis. The waltz group was:
Catherine Post with Randy Nc
Iver; Beverly Peacock with
Charles Corbett and Margaret
Thomason with Gilbert Thoma-
son. The slow dancing group
was: Ann Burney with Gene
Hicks; Catherine Marks with
Max Collie; Ann Penton with
Murray Barefoot; Willy Ann Err

jorie Penton with Jackie Britt;
Margaret Thomason with Gil

well. The sophomores deserve
orchids for having such a well
planned dance.
Thursday in the high school
auditorium, Bobby Haas and his
band played for all students
holding a subscription for an
annual. There was a very small
crowd there to hear Bobby as
only three hundred and thirty
five subscriptions have been
sold. This time last year over
five hundred had been sold. The
staff has counted on this money
to pay for the expenses. Some
people make remarks about the
staff making a profit, but if
you'll talk to Miss Virginia
Walsh you'll find out different.
AS we all know, prices have
gone sky high and people are
not able to get as many things
as they might be accustomed
to. Unless we sell six h undred
subscriptions we will have to
cut out of the annual those
things which we have added to
make it one of the best. The an
nual is a senior class publica-
ton and it is up to the seniors
to support it. Thursday when
Bobby played, there should
have been a full house. The staff
