for a conference with leader! of
the Wilkes chapter relative to
the roll call in November.
Dr. John W. ICincheloe, Jr.,
pastor of the First Baptist church
and who has been appointed roll
call chairman for this year in
Wilkes, said today that plans are
being formulated for a success
ful roll call and he had every
reason to believe that the Wilkes
chapter will respond liberally
this year.
He pointed out that In 1940
Wilkes was 113th among the 120
chapters in the state in amount
raised during the roll call, in
spite of the fact that it was in
the same year that the Red Cross
.spent thousands of dollars in
Wilkes in emergency relief and
rehabilitation following the dis
astrous flood in August. 1940.
For many years previously
Wilkes had a high standing
among the chapters in the state,
which will be regained this year
if the roll call plans go through
as scheduled.
