My Friends, the ?> Democratie Voters of Martin County To you, I wish to try to express my appre ciation for the vote of confidence which you gave me on June 4th. I am indeed grateful for the trust bestowed upon me, and shall put forth every ef fort to serve you in every way.. If this seems to be an inadequate expres sion of my gratitude, it is due to the fact that I am unable to find words to convey my apprecia tion. Don E. Johnson An Appreciation I desire to express my gratitude tor the splendid and loyal support given me in the recent primary. Before deciding to enter the primary 1 sounded out in a limited way public sentiment and came to the conclusion there was enough sentiment for a chance to justify my candidacy. However, the majority of the vot ers have expressed themselves as favoring the present incumbent, and I cheerfully concede them the right to choose their officers. To all I wish to thank you for your generous man ner in receiving me and to those loyal friends who sup ported me without reward or hope of reward.* I am of course especially indebted. Sincerely. H.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. national chairjnan of the Unit ed Council for Civilian Relief in China, announced this week. More than 90,000.000 non-comba tant Chinese, the majority of whom are women and children, now are threatened by virulent epidemics of cholera, typhus, diphtheria, typhoid, amoebic and bacillic dysentery and scarlet fever, Colonel Roosevelt stated. Quoting late dispatches from Shanghai and dhe interior received at the headquarters of the United Council for Civilian Relief in Chi na, Colonel Roosevelt painted a picr ture (if appalling?disaster and need. "More than 100.000 permanently 'estitue refugees are encamped in the Shanghai International Settle n.ent." he declared. "Across the l iv er at Nantao is one camp where 45,000 refugees, almost exclusively women and children, have food on hand -for less than three weeks. Al so. the new cholera epidemic has now spread to Pootung near Shang hai and wide areas there are vir tually death houses. "In addition to the humanitarian aspects of these conditions, which are horrifying the civilized world, there is urgent reason why Ameri cans' should be interested in helping to provide the means to control these epidemics," Colonel Roosevelt de clared. "There is grave danger that . the epidemics may spread beyond the borders of China and constitute an unprecedented menace to the health of the world. With our speedy methods of transportation and the constant travel between Asia, Amer ica and the European countries, there is the ever present possibility that an epidemic starting in one portion of the globe may spread to other places thousands of miles dis tant. Therefore, no matter' how much' we may be stirred by the hu manitarian ?of .the Chinese 1 Are in Raleigh Today Messrs. T. B. Slade, L.

Colonel Roosevelt urged Ameri cans everywhere to aid the cause of humanity by attending one-of the Bowl of Rice parties to be held on June 17 on behalf of the destitute Chinese non-combatants. The Unit ed Council is sponsoring more than 2.000 of these parties. Funds thus raised will be allocated to accredit ed relief agencies in China by the American Advisory Committee, in consultation with Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Colonel Ituusevelt added. The American Advisory committee is an internationally famous group composed of nine prominent Amer icans now residing in China, he said. An Appreciation It is with much linearity that I express my great appreciation for the vote accorded my can didacy for the Democratic nomination as the Martin County member'of the House of Repre sentatives in the primary last Saturday. The ex pression of confidence evidenced by the good people of our county will long be remembered by me. and it is my trustful pledge that I will do everything in my power to serve the people in an efficient manner, and to the very best in terests of everyone. Following an announcement of my individ ual position some time back in which I indicat ed that I did not intend to run for the position this time, a number of petitions carrying the names of several hundred voters In the County were placed before me urging that 1 reconsider and announce my candidacy. The office belong ed to the people of Martin County who I had served, and I was advised that these voters felt that it was my duty to run; that I was in a bet ter position now than ever to render to the - county and state a public service. It hss always been my policy to abide by the wishes of the people, and to do their biddings as ably as I know how as a public servant, with a keen de sire at all times to represent the majority, and remain aware of the rights of the minority. I did not know what to do. at flrgt I conferred with many of my friends and public officials, and after a careful consideration of the peti tions. letters, conferences and telephone re quests. and after many sleepless night. I felt it my duty to re-consider my former action, and did so. and announced my candidacy and as a result have been re-nominated to the office the General Assembly. 1 believe anyone in my position would have reached the same conclu sion. Now, I wish to thank all who supported me. and to express my appreciation for the kindness shown me. and to say that I have no ill will whatever toward anyone who opposed me. but only wish to serve all the people to the utmost of my capacity, which I pledge to do.
