Club To Mail Notices Of Registration To Voters Of Two Lower Hundreds

A meeting of the Young Democrat’s Club of Blackbird and Appoquinimink Hundreds was held in the Blackbird Community Center, Wednesday, June 18th, at 8:00 o’clock. The new officers and committees are as follows:

President, James Mullen; vice president, Roland Nowland; secretary, Louise Staats; treasurer, Temple Heinold; publicity, Wm. K. Smith.

The following committees were appointed for the year:

Program, Jesse Watson; recreation, James Sylvester, Wm. Brown, Leonard Reed; refreshments, Wm. K. Smith, Norman Younger, Freddie Robinson.

The club is going to mail each box holder in the two hundreds a notice of the coming registration days, so that everyone will be contacted, and for the advantage of those who do not receive the local and daily papers.

Representative Howard Deakyne gave some views on the political situation. He stressed party unity, and the need for real teamwork in the coming election.

Mrs. Mary David, the new chairman for Blackbird Hundred, was welcomed as an honorary member. Mrs. David has the full cooperation of the club in her new undertaking.

The club membership is still open and anyone desiring to become a member or attend the monthly meetings is welcomed at anytime.

The next meeting will be held July 16th in the Blackbird Community Center.

The yearly party will be held Thursday evening, July 10th, at Joseph’s Grove with music by Wilson Bailey.
