Speaks Is American Red Cross Chairman
W. E. Speaks (left) of Atlanta has been appointed chairman for 1967
fund campaigns of the American Red Cross in 49 northern and
western chapters. He is shown with national fund co-chairman
Dan C. Williams of Dallas, Texas, during recent Southeastern
Area conference for planning of annual campaigns.
Speaks Is Named Chairman
Red Cross Fund Campaigns
W. E. Speaks of Atlanta has
been appointed by the American
Red Cross as chairman of its
1967 fund campaigns in the At
lanta Combined Service Terr
itory, which Includes 49 chapters
in northern and western Georgia.
Mr. Speaks is Southern Bell divi
sion commercial manager for
North Georgia.
Next March, chapters in this
area not affiliated with United
Funds will conduct annual cam
paigns for support of disaster,
blood, services to military per
sonnel and their families, safety,
nursing, youth and other pro
grams. Some UF-afflliated chap
ters will campaign in commun
ities outside United Funds areas.
In Atlanta recently, Mr. Speaks
discussed campaign plans and
service needs with national fund
co-chairman Dan C. Williams
of Dallas, Texas; national fund
director Robert L. Harry of
Washington, D. C.; and South
eastern Area officials.
“At this conference/' Mr.
Speaks said, -‘the organization’s
heavy commitments in the Viet
Nam conflict and the critical
shortage of funds for disaster
operations were emphasized in
discussion of 1967 fund needs.”
Major disasters of recent
years, such as last fall’s Hurr
icane Betsy, have used up most
funds for disaster relief, Mr.
“MAKE MINE MEDIUM

harassed young man who needed
some culinary advice. It seems
his wife had gone to a meeting
and asked that he put a roast in
the oven at a certain time. When
the time came, he couldn’t re-
Speaks said. “Betsy alone cost
more than $17,000,000.”
In Viet Nam more than 200
American Red Cross staff are
assigned to fighting forces in
the field, to hospitals, recreation
centers and clubmobiles. They
provide welfare, personal and
recreation services. A major
center for Vietnamese war re
fugees is supplied by the Amer
ican Red Cross and is operated
by ARC staff in conjunction with
the South Vietnamese Red Cross.
“The American Red Cross is
dependent upon United Funds and
its own March campaigns to sup
port not only its local community
services but these national and
international services as well,”
Mr. Speaks pointed out. “AU
local chapters share in costs of
major disaster relief operations
over the country, and also in
overseas ARC services being
given wherever U.S. military for
ces are stationed.”

Miss Riddle Is New Teacher
Os Social Studies, Porterdale
PORTERDALE — There are
two new personalities at the
Teacherage in Porterdale: Miss
Alice Riddle, teacher of Social
Studies at the Porterdale School,
and her mother, Mrs. Jennie
Leslie Riddle, who arrived in
September.
Although Miss Riddle claims
West Virginia as her native state,
she has spent a number of in
teresting years in Kentucky, New
York, and Georgia.
With animated humor, she re
called, “My hometown is Ma
tewan, West Virginia. Although
much smaller than Porterdale,
our one main street housed two
Jewish department stores, a drug
store, a grocery, a bank, two
hardware stores, three dentists,
two doctors, all of which were
visible from beginning to end
of the street. And the drug
store was the most unusual I’ve
ever seen! Why, all of my life,
I’ve been comparing every other
drug store with it, but none
compares.”
“And what made it so differ
ent?” the interviewer inquired.
“I can’t even say. Maybe
I’m just reflecting on it with
deep childhood memories.”
As a young girl, she attend
ed boarding school in Pikeville,
Kentucky while her family lived
in Ransom, Kentucky. Graduat
ing there and then attending the
Pikeville Junior College, she
taught for three years at Pike
County High School, Kentucky.
Summer work at Morehead
State Teachers’ College and sub
sequent sessions at the Univer
sity of Kentucky earned for her
a degree in history. “I had
65 hours of history”, she said,
and “I guess the Revolutionary
War was my favorite story,” fol
lowed the former statement.
The next two years, she re
sumed teaching at Pike County

Miss Riddle injected a chuckle
into the conversation, “That’s
about the time I got into poli
tics!”
“How?” she was queried.
“It was really quite simple.
The County Clerk asked me to
work for him and I did for two
years until a need at the Taylor
sville High School for a teacher
of typing and shorthand led me
to that job. A year later, how
ever, I returned to work for
the County Clerk, not in Pike
County but rather in Jefferson
County in Louisville.”
History has always been Miss
Riddle’s hobby so she did some
post graduate work at the Univer
sity of Kentucky and also at the
University of Louisville.
Varied opportunities have con
tributed to Miss Riddle’s educat
ion while providing livelihood
simultaneously. For a brief
time, she worked for a jeweler
on a radio program and then for
a collection agency.
The third grade at Newport
City School became vacant and
this teacher took this position,
her first and only one in a city
school.
Suddenly, New York City beck
oned Miss Riddle and her mother,
who has resided with her since
her father’s death in 1942. There,
she took some classes and was
secretary at New York Univer
sity for the next eight years.
Part of this time, she was As
sistant Secretary to the Social
Director.
“Atlanta, Georgia” sounded
interesting and the Riddles mov
ed there where the daughter took
a secretarial position with the
Charles Scribner Publishing Co.
until it ceased to handle text
books.
A secretarial position at the
Cy Young Consolidated Freight
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
Service and U. S. Customs Bond
ed Warehouse kept her busy until
she joined the faculty at Porter
dale.
Already, the social studies stu
dents in the seventh and eighth
grades are busy working on
scrapbooks about Georgia and
American history, supplemented
