THE RED CROSS
The American Red Cross is the
nation’s bad ere of mercy. Wherever
there is suffering:, our spirit of com
passion and sympathy is carried und
er its humanitarian banner.
When disaster strikes, devastating
prosperous communities, demolishing
happy homes, and leaving a path of
death and desolation, our Red Cross
is ever ready to relieve suffering and
prevent distress. It cares for the
injured, shelters the homeless and
places every sufferer back on his
feet with a normal prospect for the
future.
This is but one of its many hu
mane services. Every day is a day of
disaster for hundreds of homes. Sick
ness and d scase, poverty and suffer
ing, never declare a truce. Always
they are exacting thei rtoll of human
happiness, and Red Cross workers are
busy fighting them. Into the homes
of the factory hands, out to the
lonely farm houses, and on to the
scenes of disaster, our emissary of
mercy goes to translate our message
of sympathy into deeds of construc
tive service, wherever suffering casts
its shadow. It is the composite voice
of thousands of people in your state J
and nat.on who have made it their!
medium for magnifying a thousand
fold their personal service to human
ity.
The manifold services of the Amer
ican Red Cross cannot be translated
into words. All that the following
few pages can do is' to suggest to
yau what these thousands of people,
organized for service in their Red 1
Cross, have accomplished in YOURj
STATE in the last year.
As the official relief agency of
the American pgopie, the Red Cross
has engaged in relief operations fol
lowing ninety disasters in the last
year. In these disasters over 1,000
people were killed and over 3,200!
injured, the organization assisted
over 40,000 disaster victims.
The disaster relief work of the
American Red Cross looks beyond the
immediate needs of the sufferers and
supplies permanent relief. At first
only food, clothing, shelter, and medi
cal aid are supplied. But when the
emergency needs have been met, a
thorough program of rehab litation is
instituted. Every family is given the
assistance which, when supplemented
by its own efforts, will place it per- i
manently in a self-supporting posi
tion with sufficient resources to sup
ply its minimum needs.
An important founction of the Red
Cross is its foreign relief operations.
It is the agency through which the
sympathy of the American people is
expressed to disaster sufferers in
other countries. It acts in this capa
city only where it is felt that the
magnitude to make outside help nec
essary and where it is felt that the
country affected cannot otherwise
meet the emergency without undue
hardship.
Two serious disasters in North
Carolina during the last year have
necessitated Red Cross disaster re
lief work.
Number of Chapters in state help
ing ex-service men is 74.
Number of ex-service men or fam
ilies helped during last year 8,057.
Number of Chapters in state doing
extended home service 2.
Number of civil.an families helped i
during the last year 422.

monstrations given 180.

SYLVIA MAE IS
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Little Sylvia Mae Garrison, four j
year old daughier of Mr. and Mrs.
Wll Garrison, 301 North Main St.,
Burl'ngton, died about six o’clock
Sunday morning at Rainey Hospital,
of ineumonia. following an operation I j
for appendicitis, and was hurried Mon
day at Pine Hall cemetery. The fun
eral service having been conducted by
Rev. Martin W. Buck, at the home.
Death never came in a gentler mood I
to carry away a baby, for little Sylvia I
was taken at the end of a little song I
she had learned at the Kinder-garten ; j
“Keep sweet. Keep sweet, This is the |
only way, This in the only way to I
win the day, just keep sweet.” Al
though folded in the arms of death |.
and already off on the journey that;
• reflected happiness in her smile. The I
voice came out of the mist with ai 1
■ of Sylvia’s bed the little song, she
couldn’t quite start it and called on!
- her dear little brother, Marshall as i
she often did, to begin the song. I j
Marshall was not there, but presently
' a feeble voice, but distinct, lifted out
of Sylvia’s bed the little song, she
t repeated it.three times, then “come
j on” she s iid, to loved ones at the |
- bed side, and the 19 tie spirit had gone i
i" Her ICI singing class mates of)
the Kindergarten -ang so sweetly at 1
the funeral “Jesus Loves Me, This!
I know,” and “Keep Sweet, Keep
Sweet.” Sylvia’s voice was stilled, j
but did not her benutiful little spirit i
look down on its presence about the 1
casket, a halo of light, hope and in- j
j spiration, a benediction to all to come I
home.
She was a bright child and favorite I
’ among her playmates, whose passing j
J brings deep grief to the home and
J the neighborhood.

i.ot o. prize ever offered by a local newspaper
in this section of the country has bec-n nvde
ready for distribution among those who p. rtici
pate most heartedly. Amb tion and energy are
the only requisites for success.
ihe plan adopted is the fairest and most im
p.'irtial conceivable. There will be no “double
vote offers, extra votes given or any other in
ducement whatever inauguarted during this com
petition. Neither will there beany long-term sub
scriptions accepted. Ihe plan of the campaign
is straight-forward and simple'knd is fully out
lined in this announcement.
Let it be fully understood at the very outset
that this is not a “beauty” nor “popularity” con
test, but a strictly legitimate competitive prop
osit.on for enterprising men and women and'boys
and girls, and one in which no element of chance
enters. One feature of this competition is the
tact that there will be no losers in this race.
HOW TO ENTER THE ELECTION
The first step in order to become a candidate
and compete for a prize is to clip the nomination
coupon appearing in this is ue; fill in your name
and address and mail or deliver to the campaign
department of ihe Zebulon Record, Zebulon, N.
C. This coupon entitles you or the person whom
you might nominate to 5,t00 FREE votes. These
vote.-; are given you are a starter, and to speed
yot; on your way to win. Only one such nomi
nation coupon wi! be accepted for each candidate
HOW VOTES ARE SECURED
The next step is to call on or write the cam
paign department for a free working outfit, con
sisting of a special receipt book, sample copies
of the paper and other information relative to
launching as act ve campaign.
thus equipped, you have but to go to your
friends, neighbors, relatives and acquaintances
and have them clip all the free coupons from
their papers or pay a subscription to The Zebu
lon Record through you. THAT’S ALL THERE
IS TO IT. However, you will never win any
thing unless you make the start; and while it
will not be a very difficult matter to capture one
of the big prizes, nevertheless, you should start
at once. You must plan out your campaign the
same as any successful business man plans out
his work for a season, and, above everything
else, let no one discourage you, but stick to the
finish. Anything worth having is worth striv
ing for. A few short weeks and you may be
r.ding in your oWn automobile.
It takes votes to win and votes arc secured in
two ways: First, by clipping coupons appearing
m each issue of The Zebulon Record. Begin by
gathering them now. After next week these
coupons will be reduced to a lesser number of
votes. The only restriction placed on coupons is
that they must be deposited at the compa gn de
partment of The Zebulon Record on or before
the expiration date printed thereon. Got your
frmrds to saving these coupons—they all count.
The other and faster way to get votes is by se
curing new and renewal subscriptions to The
Zebulon Record. On each subscription turned in,
a certain number of votes are issued, the number
vary.ng acording to the amount paid and during
which “period” same are received at the cam
paign department (see schedule for votes else
where). So, you see, the more subscriptions you
secure the more votes you can get and the bet
ter your chances are to capture the grand cap
ital prize.
EARLY START MEANS EARLY FINISH
The advantages of an early start are manifest.
Not only do you hflve the FULL SIX WEEKS
in which to secure the winning votes, but now
and put to and including Saturday December 5.
you w.ll receive the maxium schedule of votes
on subscriptions, while those who put off enter
ing until a later dale will have to take what is
left.
Don’t lose valuable time wating to “see what
the other fellow is going to do,” but pitch right
in and show the “other fellow” how to do it
