1 8 THE NEWS AND OBSERVER. RALEIGH, N. THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 14, 1946. Woman's Club Service Honors Memory of Mrs. T.

P. Jerman New Club Officers Elec- ted At Regular Business Meeting By ANNE LINEBERGER. Members of the Raleigh Woman's Club held a memorial service yesterday afternoon at clubhouse "thee honoring the memory of Mrs. T. Palmer Jerman.

Mrs. R. L. McMillan, club president, presided. In recognition of "her unflinching loyalty and zeal in securing for women their full rights and privileges as citizens, and her belief in their capacity to thorough the exercise of these rights rich contribution to society," her democratic spirit, and her club leadership, the members adopted recolutions which read in part: an an's "Resolved, Club, that recognizing the Raleigh its irrepar- Womable loss, and taking pride in the fact that such a woman has been its leader, counselor, and friend since its organization 42 years ago, pays loving and grateful tribute to her memory." The program yesterday afternoon included tributes by Josephus Daniels, Mrs.

Burr Johnson of Trenton, and Harriett Elliott of Woman's College, Greensboro. The St. Cecilia, Chorus of which Jerman a member, Kipling's and Thousand Times Ten Thousand." Miss Geraldine Cate directed. Speaking of Mrs. Jerman as a State and national woman leader in social causes and politics, Mr.

Daniels said: "Mrs. Jerman saw the Woman's Club in Raleigh and the State Federation in North Carolina as the clearing house for needed reforms, first in city, next in the State and then bourgeoning into national and world fields. She did not crusade to be crusading. She had a goal, a sort of holy quest for the enlargement of opportunity and the acquisition of inherent rights for her sex. This was not prompted to get something for the crusaders, but that they might obtain a base for elevating the body politics.

"As a member of the National Democratic Committee, regarded as among the wisest in the counsils of the party, Mrs. Jerman and all liberals helped to elect Franklin Roosevelt to lift the republic out of the slough of despond and put it on the high road of progress and opening new doors to forgotten men and women. It was the vote of the women in 1916 that insured the election of Wilson and most of them rallied to Roosevelt, because whatever else a woman is or is not, she cannot be a standpatter in politics in fashion. "As elder statesman and the accan knowledged leader in all causes that commanded woman's interest and effort, she was indeed the State's First Woman Citizen and lives among the few North Carolina leaders wimmorted not born to die." Miss Elliott, dean of the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, spoke of Mrs. Jerman as a woman citizen.

She said, "physically, morally, and mentally she was a born leader. In personal appearance, such as controlling factor, especially in public life, her commanding, yes, majestic figure, won for her immediate attention. College bred herself. she was eminently fitted to lead others along the paths of social and educational progress. She was clear-eyed and courageous, but too well poised and firm in her convictions to be swept off her feet by hysterical or sensational schemes.

In her strength the women of North Carolina found a steadying influence in every crisis. In times of doubt and sore perplexity it was always to Cornelia Jerman that they turned, and she never failed them. "She was one of those vivid personalities whose hold on the memory of her contemporaries is indestructible, whose influence lives after her, and who, in George Eliot's beautiful words, has "Joined the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their "We shall never cease to miss Cornelia Jerman, not only as a leader, but as a warm, eager friend to whom no personal sacrifice was too great for her to make in the entire field of human relations. Mere words are insufficient to a proper appreciation of a life and character MRS. T.

PALMER JERMAN. sense of inadequacy that these few words have been written." Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, former N. C. Commissioner of Public Welfare, who to Raleigh from her present comes head of the New Jersey State Schools, for Girls in Trenton, spoke Jerman as a counselor in social and club work, friend and neighbor.

said, "it has been given to others speak of She. our friend, Cornelia Jerman, whose memory we are here to honor, as a civic and political leader, and a club woman. But to me has been given the greatly appreciated opportunity to say something about her as a friend, a neighbor, and a good companion. And though I may express myself inadequately, I feel well qualified to speak of her in these capacities, for I knew her intimately for more than 40 years and I loved her all the time. I appreciate the qualities for which she has already been praised for they contributed to whatever career I may have had, but I know her best, I think, as a friend whose loyalty was never questioned and whose sympathy and understanding were unfailing.

'Come weal, come she was always ready to congratulate or comfort as the need might be, and if she walked with her friends in the sunshine, she did not desert them when they reached the shadows. Such friendship is a rare and blessed thing! "She saw the best in people and was adept at bringing it out. She was clever in showing people they had latent atenwarpacidethen of which they were persuading them to use such capacities to good purpose. "She has had the great experience that is 'the that opens the palace and polderntey, some day the golden key will turn the lock for us and we meet again, we will find am sure, wehen there, as she was here, about her Father's business." Dr. Lee C.

Shepard, pastor of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, gave the Special guests at the service were Mrs. Karl Bisphoric of Spray, president of the State Federation Women's Clubs; Dr. Adelaide Fries, former president of Winston-Salem; Mrs. P. R.
