Conger’s Report Only Partially Complete THERMOMETER Chairman Urges Early Completion of Work By Canvassers With only a partial report of Chor 'van’s United War Fund drive in the hands of General Chairman J. H. Conger, up to Wednesday morning contributions amounted to approxi mately $4,000, or about $2,000 short of the $6,000 quota for the county. According to a preliminary survey of the report the figures reveal that Kdenton’s portion of the quota is gradually being raised, while the amount allotted to the rural section of the county had been only about half raised. The total quota of $6,000 has been broken down as follows: Kdenton, $3,250, the county SI,OOO and $1,750 at the U. S. Marine Corps Air Station. A splendid response has been reported at the base, where George C. Cunney, Navy auditor, is in charge of collecting contributions, and who assures Chairman Conger that the base’s quota will be reached and most likely Over-subscribed. In connection with the drive Chair man Conger has placed a large and 1 attractive thermometer in front of the Bank of Kdenton which registers the progress of the drive and on Wednesday morning the “mercury” had just about reached the $4,000 1 mark. Mr. Conger is hopeful that the quota will be reached within a few! more days and to that end urges, .every canvasser to complete his or her j territory and to make a special es-j " ■rt to contact any who may have been missed on former rounds. remier Showing This Is The Army’ At Taylor Nov. 7th Proceeds of Picture Go To Army Emergency Fund At the Taylor Theatre Sunday night, November 7, at 9:15 o’cloc the premier showing of “This Is The Army” will be presented, the pro ceeds of which will go to the Army Emergency Relief Fund.

The picture affords an opportunity for Chowan County people to see a splendid show and at the same time make a contribution to a worthy cause. The Army Relief Fund is set up for the assistance of soldiers and members of their families in need of immediate emergency relief.
