Local B and P Club Reports Activities
The Business and Professional Women Club of Caroline Counts marks ten years of service during National Business Women's Week. Despite small dues and memberships of 15 to 30, the club supported Red Cross campaigns, March of Dimes polio effort, and war relief efforts. They donated to the National War Fund, Nursing Council for War Service, Aid to China, Red Cross, Cancer Fund, and Infantile Paralysis Fund, sent CARE packages, supported the Friendship Train, and sponsored a Caroline County girl for Girl State. Funds aided Denton Recreation Association playgrounds, gifts to the State Mental Hospital, and Christmas relief for needy children. A scholarship fund was started for musical training for a talented local girl, with gratitude extended to nonmembers who helped.
