COMMUNITY RELIEF
ORGANIZATION
On Friday night, June 27, at a meet
lug of delegates from all organisa
tions and churches of Lonisburg, the
Community Relief Organsation of
Louisburg was formed, Its purposes
and means being planned and started
at this meeting- Key. a L. Blanton,
pastor of the Loidsburg Baptist
Church, was elected president of the
Organsatlon; W. R. Mills, suiperln
teadent of the MM# High School and
president of the Loulsburg Klwanls
Club, vice-president and chairman Of
the Investigation Committed, the re
maining members pf which are Mrs.
W. B. White and Dr. H. H Johnsonr
F. J. Beasley, treasurer; and Mrs. H.
W. Perry, secretary.
The Investigation Committee of
the organization has, as Us function,
to co-operate with the County Wel
fare department In work and Investi
gation of cases which they report to
a sub-committee of one of the various
organizations of the town. The or
ganization to whose committee the
case is reported is determined large
ly on the fact as to whieh organiza
tion the people involved iu the case
were affilliated most in life. If the
person or people were of a certain de
i p.f-mination they would be reported to
(the committee of such denomination;
If he were a Mason, a member of the
Junior Order, Klwanlan, or the like,
be is reported to the committee of
such organization. If, however, any
one or two organizations sbonld be
overworked, the Community Relief Or
ganization, as a whole, would take
ever some of the cases. The duty of
the Bub-committees of the various or
ganizations is to secure clothing,
food, money, and any supplies abso
lutely necessary , to carry on life,
which work shoifld be done upon im
mediate notice. The work of the
Relief Organization and committees
is being began now in order that it
may bp ab'e to lake over the work
in the fall and winter when help is
most needed.
The organizations of Louisburg rep
resented at the meeting and their del
egates were as follows: Methodist
Church. Mrs. W. B White. M. 8. Da
vis; Baptist Churth, Mrs. F. W. Whe
iesa, W. R. Mlllsi Episcopal Church,
Rev. J. D. Miller; Kiwanis Club, Dr.
a H. Johnson. JOr.-K.-Q. Perry. F. J,
Beasley, Rev. S. L. Blanton; Masons,
Haywood White; Junior Order, K. L.
Llles; American Legion and Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary, Mra H. W. Per-'
ry; Parent-Teacher Association, Mrs.
A. W. Person; County Welfare De
partment, Superintendent E. C. Perry.!
Only two of the above named organi
zations have in their programs of
work such as forma that of the Relief
Organisation. The Klwanls Club and
the American Legion Auxiliary have
working organisations In ChM wel-i
fare and rehabilitation; the"Wwants,
the underprivileged child, and the
American Legion Auxiliary, the dis
abled ex-service men and their child
ren.
This Community Relief Organization
should meet the approval of every
citizen of Lonlsburg. who should re
spond earnestly to render service to
their Immediate organisation or
church. The success or failure of
such an organisation, that la zo
sorely needed at auch pressing times,
depends greatly apon the response by
the people of the community to
work sad eervioe.

2252 Cars Cross Bridge
Badger Joyner won the prize, one
hundred risiting cards, offered by Mr.
J. T. Howard, for guessing nearest
t|ie jtnmber of cars that crossed Tar
HItST bridge at Louisburg Sunday be
tween the hours of 7 a. m. and 9 p. m.
The exact number crossing the bridge
was 2252. His guess was 2251.
The contest was quite interesting
attracting many to the scene of count
ing ail through the day and a good
number ot guesses were recorded
ranging from 551 the lowest to 4900
the highest. Many of onr citizens
were, interested, in renting- the score
up, but it wih to Mr. C. F. Cash that
credit for the largest number of trips
was recorded. He made even fifty
cresses during these housr.
It will be interesting to note that
the point of count was on highway
56 and the only bridge across Tar
Rivsr in Louisburg. It shows the
traffic the bridge has te accommo
date and the amount of traffic on this
popular highway, both of which will
no doubt be of interest to Mr. John
Sprunt Hill, Highway Commissioner
for this District.
Mr. Howard is being commended
for this strategic pfece of lnitiative
ness.
