TO the thousands of Americans
who each year fall victim to the
dreaded disease.
To one of those. Miss Laura
McInnes. a member of the Tabor
City High School faculty. the
great need for funds to aid the
polio-stricken is uppermost IN
thought and action. for she. like
thousands of others, was a victim
of infantile paralysis.
In the summer of 1899, alter
graduating from Cocker College,
Miss McInnes returned to her
home in Charleston. S. Z. Inc
city was in the midst OF a great
polio epidemic. but she, like SO
many of us. .never dreamed IL
would be her fate to lie abed, her
body paralyzed and suffering I'M
tod pain.
The daughter of a prominent
Charleston doctor, DR.. b. X. MIC.
gnaes. her story of eleven-years
.trusgle from the tolls of polio IS
one that releases all the courage
perseverance, and divine taith
we mortals are capable of achiev-
ing.

Va. Community
Unique
I~nterracia


NORFOLK, Va. (ANP) This
city has one of the most unique
interracial organizations in the
South. 1t is the Women's Council
for Interracial Cooperation, an
organization which was formed a
little more than five years ago.
The body was organized a little
over five years ago by II white
and eight Negro women at Chef
Shelem Temple.
The purpose of the organizers
was to find a medium through
which the two races could better
understand each other and express
their views openly on issues and
problems of common interest.
The first council president, Mrs.
Vivian Carter Mason, served from
1915 to 1947. She is one of the
most active members of her race
in international organizations and
only recently returned from Hal
ii where she attended the Haiti's
Federation CT Women at Port-au-
Prince.
A white woman, Miss Sue Slau-
ghter, was president the next two
years. Mrs. G. w. C. Brown, was
elected president of the Council
recently. Thus the Council has had
one white and two Negro presi-
dents.
According to informed sources,
there is no other such interracial
women's organization in a Virgin
ia community. 1t is doubtful
whether another one exists in the
South.
