Mrs. Mamie Kennedy Taylor
Mrs. Taylor Elected
President Of
Pilot International
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Human
thought today needs an embank
ment built of morality, truth and
inward honesty it the destructive
forces of bewilderment running
rampant throughout the world are
to be halted, Mrs. Mamie Kennedy
Taylor of Atlanta, Ga., said here
tonight in an address accepting the
Presidency of Pilot International,
classified civie and service club
for business and professional wo
men.
Mrs. Taylor, one of the nation’s
outstanding women civic and busi
ness leaders, spoke at a formal
banquet in the Presidential ball
room of the Hotel Statler before a
large audience composed of wo
men from all parts of the United
States, Canada, Mexico, France,
England and Hawaii, gathered in
Washington for the 29th annual
convention of the organization.
The banquet brought to a close the
convention which has been in pro
gress from July 27th through 29th.
Pilots attending from the Athens
club are Miss Helen Parker, presi
dent; Mrs. Henry H. Cobb, jr., Ist
vice-president; and Mrs. S. Norton
Hill, corresponding secretary.
Mrs. Taylor, who has served as
President-Elect of Pilot Interna
tional for the past year, succeeds
Mrs. Susan R. C. Beyer of Albu
&uerque, N. M. A native of Tifton
eorgia, she has had broad ex
perience in the electric utility bus
iness. She created Home Service
in a Georgia Electric Utility and
served as Home Service Super
visor for the Georgia Power Com-~
pany until August, 1947, when she
was trasferred to that Companys
executive department, where she
now reports to the President for
special assignments,
She is widely known for her
work in civic affairs and is a
member of numerous civic organ
izations and committees. In tri
bute to her leadership and efforts
in community betterment, she was
named Atlanta’s Woman of the
Year in 1945. .
_ Using as her subject, “Building
Against‘lßewilderment,” the theme
which the 280 clubs in the United
States, Mexico, Canada, Hawaii,
France and England, comprising
Pilot International, have adopted
for the year, the new president de
clared:
* “Bewilderment is the enemy of
order. Bewilderment is human
thought on the rampage, like the
river that breaks over it’s banks.
Human thought is what makes a
way of life when it is channelled
towards a goal. Like the waters
of a river, though, too, needs an
embankment built of morality, of
truth, of inward honesty. - And
this is the task that begins with
the individual. The task of build~
ing each our own embankment.”
“It is not always easy to refuse
to compromise with honesty and
with those fundamentals of moral
ity upon which Christ rests,” Mrs.
Taylor continued, adding “in fact,
almost everything in our daily
lives encourages us to yield on
principles and reap easy profits
from compromise. This is true at
all levels of modern society. Too
much familiarity with wholesale
destruction and death, with gov
ernment by fiat, with the power of
money, and with the imposition of
right by might, to a lesser or great
er degree, has made moral weak
lings of us all.”
“The abundance of bewilder
ment existing today in nations as
well as individuals goes back |
fundamentally to the fact that
modern man has set in motion cer
tain hitherto unknown material
forces which he now finds himself
unable to control,” the speaker
stated. “By his own doing” she as
serted, “man has become confused,
divided in his mind as to whether
to do good or evil for his own pro
tection; he has lost his moral bear
ings.”
“Yes, nearly all of mankind is
bewildered,” she, told delegates
and visitors to the convention,
“and you and I, being part of man
kind, cannot escape the effects of
bewilderment even though we may
not, as individuals, have contribut
ed to its making.”
“Thus we have gathered here
this day, wearing our smile much
as we wear a flower on the out
side of our garments, and know=-
ing that within we are made grim
by fear of what the future holds
in store for all of us. And yet I
believe that between the smile that
is outside and the fear that is in
side, there is an area, a sort of no
man’s-land, over which neither
smile nor fear totally prevail.
Upon this area we must pin our
hope and into it plant our most
valiant efforts. This is the area
of our thinking power, from which
we learn that the answer to be
wilderment is neither in the forced
movements of our facial muscles,
nor in the abject surrender to the
problems which create our fear.
The answer, I believe, is in build
ing a wall upon that no-man’s
land . .. Thus, I say to you tonight,
18t us cast off our smile, push
back our fear, roll up ocur sleeves
and plan to build a wall, a wall
against bewilderment.”
Likening this wall wm levee
| which changes a po river
from a threat to the eountrys-i:!:
into a source of fertility and
wealth for it’s people, Mrs. Taylor
described the destruction that re
sults when a great river over
flows it's bed. i
“Bewilderment is like that riv
er,” she explained. “It s{arted. un
noticed, from a mountainside, a
small trickle of water, It flowed
toward the valley, picking up oth
er water, growing and growing.
Suddenly, came the rains and the
freshets and the river was every
where, engulfing the good things,
threatening lives, throwing all in
to stillness and misery, A tiny
trickle grown into a monstrous
force. Bewilderment is like that.
A fact, a thought, a situation tric
kles down, untended, into our
midst, swelling as it moves along,
picking up indiscriminately other
facts, thoughts and situations. Be
fore you. know it, a wave of
jumbled words, charges, counter
charges, facts and fancdies threat
ens to engulf our reason. Suddenly
‘we can no longer sort out the truth
that was at the beginning from the
untruths that became attached to
it, from the spurious and extrane
ous bodies that were tossed into it
along its course.
“We are all bewildered today,”
Mrs. Taylor declared, “because our
embankments are eroded and the
walls are coming down. In prac
tice, how do we sustain them, or
how do we rebuild them? We do
it by training ourselves to use our
minds, to do our own. thinking; to
constantly practice evaluation of
everything that is told us before
we accept it, and this is where our
clubs can be our salvation from
the rushing watérs of bewilder
ment.”
“We cannot serve our commun
ities, we cannot serve our country,
we cannot serve the world if we
too are bewildered and confused,”
she cautioned. “We cannot pre
tend to be able to solve the prob
lems which baffle the United Na
tions, for instance, but we can
convince ourselves that those
problems exist because most of
the people of the world have let
themselves become confused in
their thinking. And have let this

happen because they did not make
the effort, take the time, accept the
sacrifices involved in keeping the
walls and the embankments built
up which restrain the otherwise
uncontrolable waters of human
thinking. Let us then begin at the
beginning by doing what we as
individuals know we can do, hop
ing that when there are enough of
us who are no longer bewildered,
we.can band together 1o lead oth
ers along our path.”
“Remember,” Mrs. Taylor said
in conclusion, “that our country
and our way of life was not de~
vised or started by one hundred
and fifty-three million Americans.
It was devised and started by a
mere handful of men and women
who had unbounded faith in the
power of their thoughts. Their
thoughts were channeled toward
the * goal of independence and
flowed toward it between embank
ments of sacrifice, responsibility
and a sense of moral rather than
material values. They, in reality,
were our Pilots. Let us be Pilots
for the bewildered of our time,
that we may Tead them with us
out of confusion into order and
light.” -
Following the banquet, Mrs.
Taylor was honored at a reception
given by District One of Piiot In
ternational, the district which in
cludes Atlanta and Macon, Ga.,
where the first Pilot Club was
organized October 18, 1921. In

local club as well as in Pilot In
ternational, the new president is
also a member of the Georgia
Home Economics Association, the
Atlanta Business and Pfofessional
Women’s Club, the Atlanta Wo
men’s Chamber of Commerce and

and Professional Women’s Clubs
and Vice-President of Greater At
