Her topic was "The Search for
Beauty." This was the concluding
part of the year's program topic
of "Beauty", which was divided
into three parts, the Person Beau-
tiful, the Place Beautiful, and the
Life Beautiful.
"Beauty is to life, as frosting is
to cake," said Mrs. Duncan. Beau-
ty can transform the daily hum
drum existence of life into a life
worth living. "As children, we are
born with an eye for beauty, first
seeing it in the bright color of an
autumn leaf, or the silky softness
of a kitten's fur. As we mature,
we continue loking to nature for
lieauty," pointed out the speaker
Beauty of thought is not new.
Twenty five thousand years ago,
the cave men of the stone age.
painted the cave walls in an at-
tempt to show their appreciation
for beauty. Beauty of thought is so1
closely linked with physical, tang-
ible beauty. Plato said, "Beauty is
a splinter of the truth." Keats ob-
servation was "Beauty is truth,
truth beauty." "Beauty in various
forms is around all of us waiting,
to be observed, and cause the
transformation of a monotnous life
into one of joy and pleasure," con-
cluded the speaker.
Hostesses Grace Guinn and Lou
Goldsberry served rum cream pie
and coffee to the following mem-
bers: Jane Thompson, LaVerne
Parrish, Sharon Fisher, Marie
Mehner, Freda Ratcliff, Vivian
Summers, Mary Turney, Katherine
White, Betty Noonan, Melba Camp-
bell, Montel Duncan, Mildred,
Chapman, Sarah Summers and Ma-
rie Whitehead.
Following the refreshments,
members compiled points, based
on this year's work, which will bel
evaluated by the National office,
and a rating assigned this Chap-
ter.

May 30th, Memorial Day, the
nation will pause to honor those
who served and died in its serv-
ice. Established in 1800. the first
Memorial Day was intended to ho-
nor those soldiers who died in the
Civil War, but today the public
looks to it as both a tribute to the
heroes of other wars and today's
soldier as well. It is a solemn an-
nual tribute by 156,000,000 Ameri-
cans.
And during the past year, these
same Americans, many without
realizing it, have been paying an-
other kind of tribute to our mili-
tary people, through their Ameri-
can Red Cross. A tribute in the
form of material aid, counsel and
financial assistance.
For instance, last year the ltcd
Cross helped an average of 109,-
000 servicemen each month at mil-
itary installations and hospitals
around the world, and served ap-
proximately 213,000 families of
servicemen and veterans each
month through chapter home serv-
ice. A total of $11,778,000 was giv-
en in financial assistance to serv-
icemen and their dependents and
$799,800 to veterans and surviving
dependents.
In this year's Red Cross Cam-
paign in Cherokee County, a total
of $5,377.93 was contributed, ac-
cording to Curtis McLeod, chair-
man.
