SAME DINAH-Mr. and Mrs.
George Montgomery and Daugh-
ter Melissa Ann, aged 5. came to
town yesterday. Mrs. Mont
gomery, who is also known some
times as Dinah Shore, had q
date to sing for the President at
the United States Chamber of
Commerce dinner. She preceded
this by spending several hours
making movie shots to be in
corporated into, next Tuesday
nights NBC-TV show.
Tonight's "Dinah Shore Show"
will be on film, made by the
NBC electronic recording process
which does. actually, improve
kinescope.
"I'd prefer to do the shows
live" Miss Shore said in her
Statler suite while pausing be-
tween cameras and dinner. But
this way I'll be fresher when I
get back to work on Monday. A
couple Of times a year filming
makes D nice breather.
Doing the show live Is fun,
though. because we all have so
much enthusiasm for it. We can't
wait to get to the studio in the
morning. It's amazing. after al
most two years, but that's how
all of us still feel"
Miss Shore turned out to have
the same problem she had when
she was here in February. It's
occupational with singers.
Before long we're going to
run out of songs to do" she said,
even with all the thousands to
choose from in the ASCAP and
BMI catalogues" With two tele-
vision shows and two radio shows
every week, avoiding repetition is
problem. Miss Shore likes to
open with a leading popular
tune of the moment and to in
clude a familiar standard and
a less-familiar standard. Find
ing the good current hits as
opening numbers is the most
difficult.
The whole thing may have
Miss Shore turning more and
more to specially-written ma
terial on the television show.
II couldn't do it on RADIO" she
said. "but on television I can
do the same sort of thing I.can
do in night clubs-put across
unfamiliar lyrics. Television is
intimate. like talking to some
one. When you're talking to
someone they're much more
likely to be attentive than when
you are talking to them on the
phone. The difference is the
same between television and
radio for special lyrics"
AS on past occasions. Miss

 Jack Kelly and Vern Hoffman were guests at the meeting and explained the Volunteer Ambu- lance Corps which is currently being organized. MT. Kelly said that the main thing the corps needs at present is money to pay for repairs on the ambulance, and more members. The Junior Women decided to continue their Travelling Coffee Can," which was started last spring, for their contribution to the corps.
 The Cedar Chest project was postponed until Mothers Day, May 10, which will give mem bers longer to complete the sew ing for the project.

I place for business conversations.
Two large file boxes stored in
the Society's vault tell better than
a historians facts the story of
North Carolina.
One case, dated September 1901,
tells the story of Ellie Brown. Her
husband, Joe, had been killed in
a freak accident in a small mill
near the South Carolina border.
There was no Workmen'S Compen-
sation Insurance or Social Secur-
ity in those days, nor any Welfare
Agency to help Ellie and her five
children.
The neighbors were as poor as
Ellie and Joe. and her church
could offer only temporary help.
However, her minister had heard
of the Children's Home Society
and wrote Mr.. Streeter for assist
ance.
The Society had no Receiving
Home for children in those days.
Nor were there travel funds, al
though the red clay roads winding
over the state were impossible
most of the year, making travel
impractical.
The superintendent was the en-
tire staff, handling a large amount

a child"
The first office was located in
the Benbow Hotel in the center of
Greensboro. The first Superintend-
ent. Mr.. Streeter, chose the Ben
bow because of its central location
near both train and street car
lines. Both of these modes of
travel were faster and far SUPER
Tor to the horse and buggy, the
only alternative.
Careful handling of confidential
material was introduced early as
Society regulation. When Super
intcnoent Streeter requested a
private telephone at the Benbow,
board members assented immedi-
ately when he explained, In view
OF the confidential nature of most
OF the Society'S business" he
didn't consider the public tele-
phone in the hotel lobby a proper

Of correspondence since. for the
most part, the Society served as
mail clearing house for homeless
children. Mr.. Streeter thought he
knew of good home for all four
of Ellie's children and wrote i'm
mediately to inquire. giving what
facts he knew about the four chill
dren from the minister's letter.
(Ellie kept the youngest child.

work at the MILD.
In short time the family Street.

would like to have all four chill
dren. Streeter then made arrange
mentS for friend of the family
to take the four young children to
their new home.
This was the manner in which
adoptionS took place in those ear
ly days. 1t was the only way it
could be done at the time. but the
danger and pitfalls of such a pro-
cedure was illustrated recently

Youngsters Get Helping Hand
From Children's Home Society
by Gertrude Walton Atkins

by Gertrude Walton Atkins
The Children's Home Society of
North Carolina was founded in
1902.
Long before the turn Of the
present century, concern had been
growing over the plight of small
children with no homes or parents
to care for them. North Carolina,
like most of her southern neigh
bors, was poor. Struggling to re-
cover from the disastrous effects
Of the Reconstruction, the state
lacked funds to take specific &C
ton to relieve these helpless
youngsters.
In 1902 group of leading citi-
zens decided to do something to
help these babies and young chill
dren. They organized the North
Carolina Children's Home Society,
Inc, to provide "a home for the
