The Department plans to reach the public through the press, over tha radio stations and through the va ?,Tlc an4 women's clubs In North Carolina. In discussing the purpose of such a campaign, the following reasons for It were advanced: "First, the gifts wonld be useful and serviceable and would do the maximum amount of good to those who receive them. k'fU to people both within and without ths Bute would serve to acquaint the home-folks and those in other States with goods ma.S^fciurwI ,n N<>'fh Carolina. Third Christmas money spent for North Carolina made goods would be kept at home and could be used over and over again In paying debts and making other purchases, and spending of several million dollars for North Carolina made goods at this time would stim ulate the production of goods some what, give employment to a few more people and help increase all commercial activity within the State/ Such a program as this would help everybody, "North Carolinians ought to take pride in giving and wearing some thing made In North Carolina this Christmas", It was said.

He was a great lover of baseball and for two years was the guiding figure In the organising of local teams, earning for himself the name, "Father of Baseball In Sanford." However. Mr. Spencer did not spent all his energy in those direc tion for, through his "hurch and fra ternal connections. 1 e was ever found at the head, o' - list of those who were aldlnr- !?? numerous causes.
