KIeenex tissues are perfect for
colds because they're so soft,
soothing and gentle to your
tender nose-yet so strong!
Meenex is SO hygienlc. too! You
use a fresh tissue each time,

MpIa. soclalItes' Original Idea

Mpls. SOcialiteS Original Idea
The idea Of coordinating the
many clubs In the Negro communi-
ty was born with the Mpls. Soc
ialites Club. willard p. Jones, stin
an active member Of the Council,
is generally credited with being
the father" Of the group.
The formation meeting of the
then Twin City Council Of Social
clubs was held at his house; Mr..
Jones became acting chairman, and
the Mpls. Socialites financed the
infant organization until It came
Of age. Annette Robinson (now
Mrs. Victor Galloway was ap-
pointed acting secretary.
The primary idea behind the
movement at that time was syn
chronizing social events given by
the various clubs so as to avoid
conflict in dates. IL clubs respond
ed and thus became the nucelous
Of Twin City Council of Clubs.
Jones claims he got his encourage
ment and idea from an editorial
in the Spokesman and Recorder
newspapers. a ....
Perhaps the first broadening Of
the Councils range of activities
was more or less forced upon it.
Andrew Clark, Jr., was then presi-
dent Of the group, and he found
thrown into the Councils lap a
clear cut case of discrimination by
St Paul slenderizing salon to an
affiliate club member. At a regular
Council meeting it was voted to
utilize collective Council strength
to remedy the situation. Signifi-
cant adjustments resulted from the
Councils action In the case. This
gave birth to the realization that
a body such as the Twin City
Council Of clubs, owes the COM
munity Of which It Is a part, more
than mere cluD event coordination.
Yet, the organization moved
slow in revising its formal pro-
gram to meet the new demands
until 1858, at which time the afore-
mentioned speech Of Mr.. Scheiner

The circulation Of anti-Cath-
Ollie material already is many
times greater than we've ever seen
it," said Bruce L. FelIxnor, execu-
tive director OF the Fair Campaign
Practices Committee.
I'VE think at this point there
Is a substantial danger that the
campaign in 1860 viii be dirtier on
the religious issue than it was in
1928"
However in North Carolina,
Democratic gubernatorial candid
ate Terry Sanford wound up an
unscheduled campaign tour Of the

pressed feeling that anti Catholic
sentiment toward John Kennedy Is
diminishing in the mountain re-
gion.

II found evidence everywhere
that the fervor Of anti Catholic
sentiment is diminishing" he aaid.
Mrs. Charles Hymes, president Of
the National Council Of Jewish
Women in New York, urged all
voters, and particularly Jewish
women, "to combat the religious
prejudice which has entered the
Presidential campaign"
Mrs. Hymes urged citizens not
to remain silent when they hear

pose 1t directly for the evil 1t H."

GlantOn, along with other
thew blood" Of the executive
Board began to outline and de-
velOP q broader and more force
full program for the Council to
pursue. The ultimate result has
been the present growth and ac-
ceptance Of the body. .
Coordination Of club functions
Is still an important phase of the
Councils program. A calendar Is
maintained with the events of all
affiliated clubs entered. ~.
Clubs must first check with the
official calendar before choosing
a date for an affair to be given.
Dates are entered strictly on a
Observation-Disclosures basis. The
whole idea is providing protection
against clubs unlcnowingly spon-
soring events in conflict or compe-
tition. It also Is a means Of focus
ing the affair Of the Individual
club to the attention Of the Joint
membership. '
No penalty Is provided for viola
ton Of the calendar, but with few
exceptions, clubs comply complete
ly. Mrs. Hattie Gross (Cresituen-
dos Club, Asst. Secretary, is the
official custodian Of the Council
Calendar.
The role Of the Council In
civic and community affairs Is
not "cut and dry" The Organlza-
ton Is committed merely to, I'm
the words Of its president, '1end-
ing it's collective strength In sup
port Of worthwhile civic en-
deavOrs that affect the whole of
the community and race Of our
membership"
