most palatable broiled chicken
dinner with all the fixings af-
ter the blessing had been In
voked by Rev. E. st. A. Rogers
of Worcester. How pleasant it
was to glance about the BAN
ouet tables and see the faces
of so many former residents OF
birmingham, to recognize
many who had attended the
clubs former birthday parties,
and to recognize also that
there were those present for
the first time.
Following the dinner, the
club President, Mrs. Elizabeth
Clements, welcomed the guests
and introduced the speaker,
Mr.. George Davis of Boston,
former President of the New
England Regional Conference
of the NAACP. Because OF his
many years of association with
the NAACP, Mr.. Davis was
we'll qualified to discuss the
merits of the organization, its
purpose and its achievements.
He pointed out that each COM
munity is an integral part of
the overall picture without
which there could be no or
ganization. Among other
things, he stressed that in his
opinion, there were three
avenues which the club could
/ pursue or investigate on the
local community level: % to-
tai utilization of persons in
job situations for which they
are qualified: (2) removal Of
sectional housing barriers; (3)
and the securing of monetary
contributions and memberships
in the NAACP.
