To All Tin* People
There will. The Advance
hopes, be a response to the lied
Cross roll call this year that
will justify the hopes of the roll
call committee for a greatly
enlarged membership of the lo
cal chapter of the American
Red Cross.
"I take especial pleasure,"
says Mayor W. JJe>i_Ciood\vin
in a letter to the local commit
tee, "in endorsing the humani
tarian work which the Red
Cross Society is performing.
The mention oif the Red
Cross brings to mind its minis
trations upon battlefields; its
helpfulness when communities
have been stricken by calami
ties and pestilence, and its ma
ny accomplishments in alleviat
ing suffering and distress
wherever found. The work of
-this organization is indispensa
ble and its activities merit the
support of all the people."
The Advance hopes that "all
the people" will bear in mind
their responsibility in this mat
ter and that they will not seek
to shirk it when the time to an
swer the roll call comes.
:
Boiler Shop Now
Elizabeth City-shoppers who:
fail to do their Christmas buy-:
ing early this year will most i
likely find themselves unable to'
do it at all.
i Business conditions! in thisj
immediate section now fore-j
shadow the biggest holiday bu-j
siness by far in the history of
Elizabeth City. Cotton is high
and going higher, and profits
on most other crops this year
have been at least fair. Even i
now stores are crowded on Sat-'
urdays and many stores have
more than they can wait on.
Witlv.these conditions exist
ing and with much cotton in the
County yet to be sold, if buyers
wait until their usual time to
begin Christmas shopping they
will find merchants too busy to
serve them and stocks that
are usually complete up to
Christmas week shot all to piec
es before the second week in De
cember.
The safer course is to Ijegin
Christmas buying now. Mer
chants in Elizabeth City have
not yet begun to display their
Christmas offerings, but The
Advance hazards a guess that
they will not object to making a
suggestion if you insist 011 it.
Thnt was an awful boner in
this column the other day about
the scrapping of the North Car
olina, confusing the modern
battleship sold for junk under
the Four Power pact with the
old North. Carolina built in
1007. But there's just so much
going 011 in this world of qur'n
that we can't keep track of. all
of it nil the time.
Elizabeth City Klks are due
double congratulation?once on
the improvement in the appear
ance of the club's quarters and
again on the securing of Dr.
Mendoza as speaker for this
year's memorial service. It goes
without saying that a big Eliz
abeth City crowd will hear Dr.
Mendoza.
Wasn* t it just our blooming
luck that we should run into
four pages on the day after we
had announced all our new fea
tures. Well, we're hoping both
for our sake and for yours that
this is the last four-page issue
we'll have until Christmas.

"Reports of the year's work among

that in the 12 month's period ending
July 1. 1923 the American Red j
Cross has given assistance to over
5.6S2 ex-service men and their fam-j
ilies. In adjusting compensation
claims, furnishing transportation to
points where they may attend to
their claims, and in seeing that their
families do not want for the necessi
ties of life while the government;
claims are being adjusted, the or
ganization has rendered invaluable
assistance.**
The totter to the Posts of the.|
St-ite advised the members that the
assistance of the American Legion
In the state had been pledged by the
State commander to the Southern
headquarters of the American Red
Cross in the Roll Call work.
?' For ih*? U4.d Cross and the Amerl

A report of the work done by the
