Th« work of North Carolina’s
wlantccr community leaders
had become known from coast
to rcMUit. Recently, Miss Cur-
rrat invited ,to tell repre-
of Laad-Grant Col-
Chicago,
the
Imdi-re in her state. Since that
tinK, tht Misniffsippi Exttnsion
Serxict invited a North Caro
lina rtr'rtaentativ't to atten'l
t^eir annual Extension Agents’
Confehence and discuss the set
up. Mrs. Effie Gordon, Nash
County home agent, was sel
ected to do the honors. Miss
Current describes here, for the
benefit «f The Southern Plan
ter reroers, this fine volunteer
service among farm people.
Almost overnight, we have
modem Paul Reveres, an or-
ganiz»|ioii of appro3^matelj'
28,000 vohinteer neighborhood
leaders, a man and woman
teamed up in each of more
than 6.0K) neighborhoods in
1,200 communities. As Paul
Revere Tode swiftly on his
mission to tell his people of ap
proaching danger, so do these
volunteer leaders carry their
«aminos of api^roaching ahort-
;ages and mes8a|.'ua of war-
ime progfam#^ to| meet the
•mergenciea.
These men and women make
up North Oarolina’g neighbor-
lood leader system, organiced
to, /‘reach ,the last: fanvly
iown the road.” In one week’s
-ime, they can reach 90 per
'ent of the 278,000 farm fam
ilies in North Carolina.
The volunteer neighborhood
'eader system is an organiza-
tiuB «»f the people, by the peo-
plt, and for the ptiople. Deve-
'oped by the democratic pro
cess, the leaders were chosen
in neighborhood or community
meetings by their neighbors
whom they keep informed on
•vartime measures. Each group
if 10 to 15 families has a man
’eader who handles programs
lealing directly with the form,
while a woman leader keeps

:omied on those dealing dir^ct-
fy with the home. ’

Each leader organizes, and
listributes information and
materials on erhergency pro
grams as well as explains the
reasons for; them, how the peo
ple are to carry them forward
ad the results epeoted. In so

made as often as the cbtinty

follow up their first visit with
later ones to offer helpful
suggestions.
Already they have sponsored
successfully many emergency
programs such as sugar rat7

gardens, control of inflaton.

RED CROSS NOW
THE RED CROSS needs your
aelp and support. They cannot
arry on the great work that
they are doing tor onr boj'*
if we fail them by not contrilni-
ting a small part of what «re
are so blessed with.
‘The American Red Cross is
an expression of ^uma&itarian-
ism. When tragedy interrupts, as
sooner or later it must, succor
for the injured, the helpless, the
destitute, speeds by lands, sei>
and air. No call however groat
or small passes unheeded. Th(
Red Cross o^ver fails the sold*
ier. It brings ito him a hint ul
home, a touch of cheer, whether
he be in teeming jungle or aic-
tic waste. It bears a gift to him
from no one and yet from all. II
warms him with the comfort
that someone thinks of him ana
someone prays for him- It truly
follows in the train of the
^Prince of Peace.’ ’
By Philip Murry, President~ol
the Congress of Industrial Or-‘
;anizations and Member of th:’
Board of Incorporators of the
American Red Cross.
“With hundreds of thousands
of its memUers in the armed
