Deserved Cooperation The way the workers in the March of Dimes drive are pit ching into their job is a credit to them and to the county. It is also deserving of the complete moral and financial support of all of us, for such hard work deserves success. Suc cess in this case will be the raising of a substantial amount of money by January 31 when the drive ends. News Slid advertisements of the various money-raising pro jects being attempted b\’ the workers in the various com- munitie appears in the paper. One why we can all cooperate and contribute is to lend our presence to these suppers, con certs, dances, etc. And for any of them we plan to attend in spirit only, we should certainly buy the spirit a good seat. J Another thing, almost beside the point, is the fact that in every case we’ll get full value received for our money in en tertainment or food or dancing. Peach Groweri Plan School At Pinehurst L. Y.

Vet erans receive an additional five per cent for every three years of service, whether in the National Guard, Air Force, Navy ( Marine Corps or Coast Guard. 0 MORE ABOUT March Of Dimes 4 “funds given to the ^March of Dimes will be used not only to help those whom polio may strike but we still have to meet the con tinuing cost of care and treatment of boys and girls stricken in prior epidemic years, and insure that there is no interruption in research for a cure or preventive of the disease.” Mr. Upchurch urged all who re ceived March of Dimes Coin Cards and School Cards to return them promptly with as generous a con trilbution as possible, if they have not already done so. Coin collec tors, he said, will continue on dis play throughout the concluding week of the campaign. He appealed to shoppers to donate whatever loose change they can spare daily to the fight against polio and help speed the drive to victory by Jan uary 31'. ‘Wine of us,” Mr. Upchurch con cluded. “can afford to take chances with a possible polio epidemic this coming summer. But all of us can afford a dime or a dollar toward assurance that we will be ready should infantile paralysis hit our county this year.” 0 PERSONALS J. C. Cocke of Columbus.
