Pilot Club “Bosses’ Night” Is Most
Enjoyable Occasion For Members
Pilot Club members were hos
tesses at a cleverly staged]'
“Bosses Night” dinner held at e
the Teen-can, to over a hundred |
guests including Pilot “bosses”, |
Newton County officials, Mayor
Nat S. Turner, Monroe Pilot|
Club members, and Mr. and
Mrs. Leo Mallard of the Cov
ington News, on Thursday even
ing.
An innovation in tributes to |
the Bosses was keynoted in the
“Big Cheese” motif played up
on the menus and in the unique
table centerpieces of large
round cheese, garnished with
greenery and yellow daffodils;
and in the favors which were
wedges of saran wrapped cheese.
Mrs. Dan Weigel Chairman, and
her fellow members of the
Community Service Committee
were in charge of arrangements
and program for the delightful
occasion.
Miss Ruth Parker, Pilot Pres
ident graciously welcomed and
introduced guests following the
invocation offered by Mrs. Ruth
Sherwood, Chaplain.
Among members of the Mon
roe Pilot's Club present were
Mrs. Margaret Mitchell, Mrs.
Claude Friend, Mrs. Josephine
Whitley and Mrs. Frances Ford,
|who responded for the group.
‘ Mrs. Ford expressed pleasure
in being present, and the pride
which the Monroe Club, which
sponsored the Covington Pilots
organization, took in the splen
did progress of the local club.
Terming the Reality of Coving
ton Pilots as the seedlings of
the Monroe Club’s visions and
dreams, the speaker compli
mented the group upon finishing
their first year of service “Cum
Laude”.
Mrs. Doris Felts read the Code
of Ethies prior to the program
presented by Mrs. Weigel. Mes
dames Mary Banks, Lois Hay
and Louise Kitchens entertain
ed the group with a number of
songs and an original comedy
skit invelving a telephone con
versation between colored maids
which included members and
guests in hilarious situations.
Mrs. Dorothy Callahan intro
duced the evening’s speaker,
Mrs. Mamie K. Taylor of Atlan
ta, a past President of Pilot In
ternational, past president of
the Federated Women's Clubs,
1945 Woman of the Year in At
lanta, and a member of the Ex
ecutive Department of the
;Georgia Power Company, with
| which she has been affiliated
lfor the past 39 years. |
| With “Understanding the
|Hope of Tomorrow”, Mrs. Tay
ilor pointed up the necessity of
{understanding of ourselves, our
community and our country, as
vital to a comprehensive view=
point of world affairs. On this
|score she cited the need of de
| veloping leaders among our
)citizenry through civic clubs
such as Pilots International, that
in making contributions to their
communities, they might gain
a deeper insight into the extant
struggle between Totalitarian
|ism and Freedom. No longer are
’we engaged in a Battle of Ideas,
|continued the speaker. for it
| has now become a race between
the minds of men of the two
reigning systems of the world.
The responsibility of selling
Freedom, or our way of life to|
THE COVINGTON NEWS
the world, is, according to Mrs.
f’l‘aylor the responsibility of
every individual. Americans, she
stated, are living in a veritable
glass house, with the eyes of
the world upon us. Through
concern for our fellow world
citizens, sharing of technical
knowledge, lives of service and
| contribution to community wel
\fare are progress, we can pro
|mote understanding between
| ourselves, our eountry and the
\nations.
In conclusion, Murs. Taylor
named the Spiritual as the
greatest of all forces; and said
that the Hope of Tomorrow is
the Gospel of Love reflected in
the lives of men and women.
The program finale was the
Pilot Club’s song, “Sail on In
ternational”, in which the en
tire group joined in singing,
with Miss Jordye Tanner, pi
anist, accompanying.
