Berg, Chairman Of The Brunswick County Chapter, Is Organizing For This Cause Ten million dollars has bee.i set as the immediate goal of the American National Red Cross for emergency relief work in Belgium, and the Brunswick county quota has been announced as being $200. J. Berg, chairman of the Brunswick County Red Cross Chapter, together with J. J. Loughlin and Rev. A. L. Brown are out at Supply today contacting representative citizens from every section of the county in an effort to set up community organizations. It will be remembered that when the Ohio Valley floods took their toll three years ago Brunswick county quickly raised a sum five times as large as the announced quota for the local chapter. In the present situation in Belgium and France it is more than a matter of food and shelter and comfort, it is a matter of life and death. Never before has the Red Cross faced such a herculean task. "We just can't comprehend the | terrible situation that exists this j very minute in Belgium", J. J. j Loughlin said Monday. "A look at the daily papers, a review of the weekly pictorial magazines, the news reels in the movies all! p fail to show us a thousandth part j s of the suffering and agony which | r exists." e "Any thinking person with one , drop of human kindness in him! T and with resources available will j " surely contribute to the Red Cross 1 g now in the hour of its greatest n emergency", said Mr. Berg. S Leland P.-T.A. Now Standard I Notification That This As- ( sociation Has Recognized <, State Rating Has Just j3 Been Received ???? Mrs. W. C. Briggs, past presi- j dent of Leland Parent-Teachers Association has been officially notified by Mrs. A. M. Alderman, district president, that her association has been recognized j as being standard. A certificate I stating that it is a standard as- j sociation has been sent to the Leland officials. Members of the association are mighty proud of this accomplishment, for it is the first time in their history that they have completed the required amount of work. Another accomplishment of the club this year was to win the national health certificate. Both have been framed and are hanging in the front hall of the Le- g land school building. t n . n nary Ejection s\ 0")WMmgwca i*i:*2co2? 5' ? ? 8 5 8 g.

There will be other independ- ent aggregations to go out. The town will probably be crowded with them Friday and Satur. day. The above is simply a line on some of the fellows who will escort the Gulf Stream Team of racing homer pigeons out I to the gulf and release them -1 with messages. They expect to j get some big Gulf Stream fish and if the said fish are not biting they will anchor over the banks and load up with snappers and tautogs.
