Great Lakes regional conference of Zeta Phi Beta soror ty met last week in Chicago, with ’‘Controlling Juvenile -Delinquency” as conference theme. . . Principal speaker wcs M. O. DARBY, authority who has worked w th the government on research in juvenile delinquency. . . Delegate-j from the local Iota Zeta chapter were Sorors GEORGIA .MOSS.

moting the recital of ten-year-old JEAN MAXWELL COOPER Friday before last. . . At the same time, an apology is necessary —1 had hoped to have a nice feature article, but space is just so precious this week that I couldn’t . However, I must say that the sheer physical labor that Mrs. Cox put into making the recital a success is certainly praise-worthy. . . Most of you will never know just how much work was put into the presentation. . . Good work, Mrs. Cox, and keep it up! An article about the health clinic under auspices of Kappa chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority is also forth-coming, as soon as plans are absolutely complete. . . Watch
tor it.
