■ 'W ■ Thursday, October 10, 1940 ■ Thanksgiving Offering Sought for O.U.A.M. R. L. Lovelace, of this city, who is a member of the board of trustees of the Junior Order Children's Home at Lexington, will assist in a state-wide cam paign for a Thanksgiving offer ing fot the support of the Home. Mr. Lovelace is the Home trustee from the fourth district, com prised of the counties of Ashe, Alleghany, Wilkes, Surry and Yadkin, and will serve as chair man of the district committee. Plans for the campaign were approved by the board of trustees at their recent meeting held at the Home. Rev. Dan W. Allen, part-time ,-pastor of the Chil dren's Home church and rector of Grace Episcopal church in Lexington, was engaged to assist in the campaign. Mr. Allen will continue his work with Grace Episcopal church but will spend a great part of his time during the campaign in filling speaking engagements in churches and schools throughout the state. This will be the third annual drive to raise funds during the -SUnksgiving season put on by the Children's Home and it is ex pected that it will meet with the same splendid success as those of former years. The need for sup plementing the budget is due to the loss of members in the Junior Order, and also to the fact that in January of this year the State Council assumed the support of all North Carolina children in the Home without aid from outside the state. The change from Na tional to State ownership will! enable the Home to adopt a I much more liberalized policy in J its child welfare work, and the] appeal for help in'its support is being made to the public gen- ] erally.
