w omen Meet Here In '53

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - (ANP) -

Womsn's Day Meeting of the
Church Of God in Christ here last
week and Mrs. Lillian Brooks
Coffey, international supervisor
Of the women announced that
next years meeting wiz be held
in Miami, Florida
The women delegates came
from all parts Of the globe in
GLIDING Monrovia, Jamaica, Hal
Il, and 81 Of the 48 states.
The women's day exercises
proved to be the highlight OF the
Church Of God in Christ's 45th
annual convocation with Mrs.
Coffey being presented to the
women delegates by Mrs. Ann
Bailey of Detroit, Mich.
The day following Mrs. Cof-
fey'S presentation to the women
she was honored at a banquet
held at LIE Moyne College which
was attended by more than 800
guests.
Mrs. Coffey who has held her
post as international supervisor
for seven years outlined plans for
the activities of the women in
the coming year.
She announced that the women
will meet in Miami, Fla. next
year and said plans have been
completed for delegation Of the
women to take a tour of the
nearby islands.
A feature of the women's day
exercises was the work perform
ed by the handicapped women of
the church. It is the policy Of the
women's department of the
church to give handicapped
people fun and equal opportunity
to perform services for the
church along with the other
members. The work of the han
dicapped women at the Convoca-
ton demonstrates the soundness
of this policy.
Among the foreign delegates
making reports to the wemen
were Miss Martha Barber and
Miss Beatrice Lott who have been
serving in Monrovia, Liberia.
Miss Dorothy Webster, a delegate
from Haiti, also rendered a re-
port to the body. :

ing Mrs. Coffey announced that

FORMER BISHOP
CURRY DIES

JACKSONVILLE - (ANP) =
Former Bishop George Edward
Curry of the AME Church, died
at his home here last week.
Curry, who was elected to the
bishopric despite the fact that ne
had only one arm thereby vio-
lating the church discipline which
says only a man physically whole
can be elected a p-elate, was a
great success as business man.
Curry was unfrocked six years
ago as a result Of charges brought
against him in specially con-
vened General Conference. He
launched into "a business career
and at his death owned a busi-
ness block, launderette, cater
ing business and number OF
"rent houses"
At one time the late minister
was business manager of the
AME Publishing House building
in Philadelphia. Declared out OF
debt with a fanfare of publicity,
the building was later sold by the
sheriff at a tax sale.

1t was also urged that each per-
son attending the meeting attempt
to prevail upon business and social
acquaintance to attend showing
of the movie before future release,
before their own groups.
Strive To Negotiate
The underlying theme of both
the movie and the discussion was
that while the United States gov
eminent has in the past attempted
to negotiate with Russia, it should
strive even harder in the future
to find common meeting ground
between the two governments in
the interests of preventing war
fare.
Samuel F. Ashelman, Brinklow,
a graduate of Swarthmore College,
who presided at the meeting, can
supply the information necessary
for release of this movie to any

A movie which pleads for great
er efforts on behalf of peace by
both government officials and citi-
zens was witnessed by about so
persons last Sunday night at the
Sandy Spring Friends Meeting
House.
The documentary, entitled ga
Time for Greatness, was made,
and is being distributed by the
American Friends Service Com
mittee, of Philadelphia, which
group has been awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize.
Arms Lead to War
The movie takes as its theme
the fact that arms races have al
ways led to war, and greater eff
forts must be made to negotiate
world differences, or fearful atom
ic wars may result.
Photographs of death and de-
struction resulting from past wars
are shown while a narrator en-
phasizes the urgency of foreign
governments achieving some sort
of understanding around the con-
ference table through the United
Nations.
In an informal discussion after
the showing, key questions were
posed by the Friends Service Com
mittee, and the group pondered
what it could do collectively and
Individually to spread the cause of
peace.

Talks About Local
Mental Clinic

Mrs. Margaret Thurston, Presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Mental Hygiene Society and Coun-
selor at Montgomery Junior Col
lege spoke at the regular monthly
meeting of the County Medical
Auxiliary which was held at the
home of Mrs. Mark Ziegler in
Brookville.
Mrs. Thurston stressed the ire
mendous need for mental hygiene
In many areas which has been
shown by several recent research
studies in the county, but was
proud to describe what is going
on now. There is an educational
|, program for adults, especially par
ents, through the lectures and films
sponsored by the Mental Hygiene
Society and the new organization
called Service to Groups in Fam
lily and Community Life.
The public schools provide some
help through the school counselOrs,
pupil personnel workers and one
psychologist. The state mental
hospitals are still woefully under
stated but progress has been made
in the past few years toward bet
ter conditions.
Would Double Staff
Miss Ruth Barron, Chief Psy-
chiatric Social Worker at the
Montgomery County Mental Hy-
giene Clinic told of many calls
which come and have to wait until
the small staff of the clinic can
give either diagnostic or treatment
help. If the clinic staff could be
doubled it might be able to pre-
vent many more serious break
downs which in turn cost the tax
payers much more for hospital
care than the present annual budg-
ct of the clinic.
