WOMANS CLUB COMMENDED; !;
OLD PEOPLE REMEMBERED

To the Editor:
The Woman's Club of Manteo is
to be commended for it's efforts
in doing something worthwhile for
the old people of the community.
It has long been a matter of deep
concern to me that there are a
good many older people living here
for whom we seem to have little
or no time. Our children and youth
get plenty of attention from we
active adults, but too little has
been done for the aged.
l wish that the efforts of the
Woman's Club might be the begin
ming of something really construc-
tive on the part of some Of our
church or civic groups that would
give these folks a new interest in
life and let them know that they
are not forgotten group.
