Spires Appointed Chairman By Gover nor Cherry OFFICERS NAMED Chairman Asks Help In What He Hopes Will Be Last Drive E. W. Spires, who was recently ap pointed by Governor R. Gregg Cherry as Chowan County chairman for the United .Service Organization 1 !)47 fund raising drive, called a meeting of interested people Tuesday after noon in the Court House, when an or ganization was perfected prior to the opening of the campaign. In connec tion with the drive, Mr. Spires made the following statement: "We still have over 2,000,000 boys in the armed services. These are scattered throughout the foreign countries, as well as in our own na tion. “Os this number, there remain over 50,000 Tar Heels, including 1420 f our own Chowan County boy's. “These boys need the services pro vided by the United Service Organiz ation, which comprises the USO clubs, the Salvation Army, the YMCA and various religious organizations j rendering well unto our service boys, both home and abroad, whether it be convalescents in hospitals, or those in camps or naval installations. “We know from experience right here at home that the USO has been a God-serid to these lonesome boys , away from home. The entertainment ayd a place to gather in good com pany has been the means of keeping many a son away from the numerous pitfalls of life which lurk around the corner in waiting for those who have nothing to occupy their minds and (Continued on Rage .Five.) Christmas Seal Sale Will Get Under Way In Chowan Monday Seals Will Be Mailed to Individuals as In Pre vious Years Chowan County's 1 IMG Christmas Seal Sale will get under way Mon day, and with interest increased since the organization of the Chowan Coun ty Tuberculosis Association, it is hoped that this year’s response will eclipse all previous drives in dispos ing of the supply of seals. As is well known, the money realized by the sale of these seals, goes toward the effort to combat tuberculosis. Mrs. J. A. Moore is again chair man of the Seal Sale and Mrs. R. C. Holland is treasurer, both of whom are hoping to have a record set this year. The same plan has been adopted as in previous years in that a quantity of the seals will be mailed to indivi duals. who are requested to send a penny for each seal received to Mrs. Holland. In event all of the seals received are not wanted, then what seals are not desired, together with payment of seals retained are to be returned to Mrs. Holland as soon as possible, so that the drive can be I completed and the result known by Christmas day. Sale of Christmas Seals was in troduced in 1907 and since that time funds derived have made possible a continuing year-round fight against tuberculosis. Great gains have been made. The National Tuberculosis As sociation’s campaign of prevention and control has helped in bringing about a 75 per cent reduction in the tuberculosis death rate, but the fight is" far from won. The White Plague still kills more people between the ages of 16 and 35 than any other dis ease, so that Chowan County people are urged to buy generously of the seals in order to make a creditable contribution toward the effort to •adicate the disease. * denton Stores Close On Thanksgiving Day According to Mrs. Hazel Gibbs, of fice secretary of the Chomber of Commerce, all stores and business houses in Edenton will be closed next Thursday, November 28, in observ ance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
