District Meeting of
Woman's Auxiliary
The annual mooting ttf the Eighth
District, Woman's Auxiliary of the
Diocese of East Carolina, was held
at the Church of the Advent, Wil
liamston, on Wednesday, May 20th,

Holy Communion at 10:30. The cele
brant was the Rev. John Hardy, rec
tor of the Episcopal churches in
Martin County, assisted by the Rev.
Lewis Schenck, rector of the churches
in Bertie County.
Mrs. Stephen Norfleet, of Kel
ford, chairman of the District, pre
sided over the business meeting,
which immediately followed the
service. The visitors were welcomed
by Mrs. James G. Staton in a charm
ing address, to which Miss Mary
Bond Griffin, of Woodville, respond
ed. The minutes of the last meeting
were read and the roll called by the
secretary, Miss Stella Phelps, of
Woodville. The several auxiliaries
responded to the roll call with an ac
count of the work of the year just
past. Most of these reports showed
a deep interest in the church work,
and much progress made. There
were 68 persons registered for the
meeting.
The Rev. John Hardy then ad
dressed the group. He spoke on
Christian Vietory and Christian
Peace, stressing nine points on which
the parish as a whole must work.
Mrs. Prank F. Pagan, of New Bern,
United Thank Offering Custodian

the world where the Episcopal
Church is established. Mrs. John
Hardy, Diocesan Supply Secretary,
told of work being done in that de
partment, mentioning several sug
gestions from national headquarters
for carrying on the work. She urged
cooperation in the work of the de
partment- of youth, now a separate
department of the National Church.
Mrs Hardy also presented the sum
mer wufeielites at Camp Leach,
stressing particularly the adult con
ference for church school teachers,
youth leaders and Woman's Auxil
iary members.
The Rev. Lewis Scbenck made the
principal address of the day, using
as the topic for discussion the theme
of the meeting, The Place of the Wo
man's Auxiliary in National De
fense. He urged that we remember
the spiritual side of national defense;
that we do all In our power to I
up morale at home, and that of the
boys In service; that working and
praying in the church is as much a
part of national defense as working
in the Red Cross and in civilian de
fense. Mrs. Lewis Schenck, of Wind

FOR CONGRESS
The People Versus The Ring
For I In- first time in 18 yearn the people of the First District have the opportunity
to express their choice for a Congressman. During this time the incumbent was without
opposition in the primary election. In the past two years the plain voters have been
represented by a HAND-PICKED office holder.
How long are the people of the First District to continue to bow to the politicians
and office holders from Washington, N. C.'t The politicians of that locality have man
ipulated for the past 43 years to keep the office of Congressman filled with a Beaufort
County man.
It's No Wonder They Want to Continue - Here's the Record
Ivouis C. Latham, Pitt (bounty 1887-1889

No Outside Advice Needed
Furthermore, the people of the First District of North Carolina do not need the ad
viee of u Cougrentman from Texas or Massachusetts to help them chooae a Congressman.
The voters of this Distrirt are intelligent euough to be able to piek the man they believe
capable of giving them the right representation.
If Herbert Bonner was a capable Congressman, wouldn't the fact be self-evident
within his own distrirt without making it necessary for him to have to get endorsements
from Congressmen from far distant States in which they undertake to tell the voters of
the First District how to vote?
BLOUNT IS THE MAN
MARVIN K. BLOUNT has beeu waging a "whale of a battle" for the office of Unit*
eel States Representative for the First Congressional District. He has gained ground
consistently since beginning his active campaign and has literally "scared" his opposi
tion to their wits-end!
His opposition, so afraid that they will be turned out of office, has resorted to the
same old story, of trying to smear the candidate who is out to beat them.
They are now claiming that MARVIN BLOUNT is trying to buy the office . . . th
ink of that . . . it's an actual insult to the voters of the First District for Herbert Bon
ner and his supporters to say that it is even possible for any candidate to "buy" the First
District.
MARVIN K. BLOUNT is engaged in farming, is a business man and has an out
standing record as an administrative official.
