Wherever federal funds are ex-
pended, he went on to say, he could

NEGRO WOMAN NAMED VIRGINIA
STATE MOTHER OF The Year

WAYNESBORO, Va, March %
-(DSN)-Mrs. Leah Sykes Young,
a Negro woman, last Saturday was
named the Virginia State Monther
of the year.
Like any other mother Mrs.
Young wanted her children to have
the best. That's why she baked
apple pies and made dresses to
sell to her neighbors at CORTLAND.
She wanted her IA children to have
a good education. She wanted them
to go to college.
Mrs. Young wasn't satisfied at
tending her own family, big as it
was. She and her husband, John,
took in five orphans to raise on
their small farm in Southeast Vir-
ginia's peanut country.
They had many a lean year when
the kids were growing up. But
Mrs. Young never despaired. She
used to tell herself:
"In this good country, you can
dream as big as you wish. The
Lord willing, those dreams will
come true"
