Illustrating her point that op- portunity is open to all, regardless of race, if all are given a chance to use their inherent gifts, the speaker observed laughingly:
 'I, myself, am planning to run for the Presidency of the United States-though Pm not saying when. I have two handicaps. Pm a Negro and a woman. But the Presidency can be part of my plans and in this country today, no one has right to deny me my dreams"
 Praises Community
 Presented by Dr. J. Y. Carwin, who gave a comprehensive history of the center, Mrs. Hedgeman praised the community of Stam- ford for discovering it's heartaches and going to work to meet them"
 "This is not just the opening of a building dedicated to the service of a group of people," she added. "It is the work of people who have caught the vision of serving others.
 "The gift of our people to the world is the understanding that all people want freedom. Our children can only live proud and free if every community, like Stamford, can develop the means to realize that dream"
 The speaker, whose activity as Executive Secretary of gigantic pro-Truman drive, spearheaded by Chicago's Congressman Dawson and other leading Democrats, was rewarded by her unprecedented $85OO appointment, concluded:
 "This is the beginning of a new day for Stamford and maybe a shot in the arm for a tortured and sick world."'

STAMFORD-The Negro Com munity Center, recently dedicated here, was founded by Dr. Joyce Y. Carwin and the Negro Little Theatre Group in 1888.
 Early this year, the theatre group met in the office of pr. Car win, put into effect the first formal organization and selected Mrs. Car win and Mrs. William Terrell as chairmen.
 A store-front building was se- cured on West Broad St. and used as the club house. By fall the group had grown so rapidly that it became necessary to hold house toulouse gatherings. With members pitching in, the West Broad Street building was renovated and rental raised through concerts given in New Rochelle, New Haven, New Canaan and other communities. Donations from individuals and clubs supplemented the income of the organization.
 The Revs. George Stewart and Allen Hackett were elected as guiding forces and a campaign launched in the community after which the building, located at GA w. Main St., was obtained in 1943.
 Community Chest Aids
 The employment of paid di- rector came about during the fall of the same year when the Com munity Chest accepted the Cen ter as a member Volunttere work CTS again renovated the building and, once more, funds were solici- ted.
 Four years later, under the chair manship of Mrs. Nathaniel Seeley, a capital funds campaign was launched, with approval of the Community Chester. The campaign got under way in June of 1947 and. in IS days, S48,OO0 had been raised toward a set goal of $75 900. Then construction was begun on the first unit of the new Center projection.
 A mixed board of directors gov erns the Center, which is non partisan, non-sectarian and is oper- ated as a neighborhood center for all races and creeds.
 Mrs. J. Y. Carwin is President of the Board and Edward N. Pow ell, Executive Director.
 Has Varied Program
 The Center's program consists of educational, cultural and recrea- program and the Yerwood Male Chorus.
 Many shows and other activities were held for the benefit of the classes for children, a girl scout Center. Among these was apro- duction, "Broadway to Stamford" a smash success in which many talented artists from all over the nation participated.
 Among members of the general committee are Frank Altschul, Chairman; Drs. J. Y. Carwin and L. Carwin; George Close, Stephen Duggan, H. c. Richards, Russell Waterbury, Alfred w. Weld, Wal tional activities. There are girls
