would not be furnished; that the
College did not have necessary furni
ture; that many of the veterans would
not be able to furnish their apart
ments; and an appeal v>as issued to
any who would help provide the neces
sary furniture for these apartments.
Mrs. Helen Parkerson Cannon of
Burlington, alumna of the College,
has donated $200 for this purpose, as
an expression of sympathy to the
family of, and as a memorial to, the
late Seaman Watson D. Lambeth, Jr.,
of Brown Summit, who lost his life
in a typhoon off Okinawa on Septem
ber 28, 1945.
The apartments to be provided by
the government for married veterans
consist of kitchen, dining room, liv
ing room, and bed rooms, some hav
ing two bedrooms, some three. Furni
ture is sorely needed for both these
apartments and for the sixteen rooms
in the newly constructed Veterans
Court for single veterans. Assistance
in this urgent and worthy cause is
again being sought from churches,
Sunday schools, organized classes, mis
sionary societies, other organizations,
and individuals. It is hoped that
others may be found to follow Mrs.
Cannon’s generous example; but any
article, a table, chair, dresser, bed,
or any other piece of furniture, can
be of help to the veterans.
The annual Elon College May Day
Festival will be observed next Satur
