THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1942 NUMBER 11 I _ _ TO LAST FOR ENTIRE WEEK OCTOBER 18th The Fifth Annual Roanoke Rap ids Community Chest Drive is scheduled to begin in the city next Sunday, and will continue for all of next week. Father Peter M. Denges, Pastor of St. John’s Catholic Church, who will serve as chairman of the cam PROCLAMATION BY MAYOR As Mayor of Roanoke Rapids and as a Trustee of the Com munity Chest, I hereby proclaim the week of October 18 to 21/ as Roanoke Rapids Community Chest Week for its Fifth Annual Drive. While we have national appeals for funds because we are at warr, we must not neglect our ten vital Home Agencies, so essential to the welfare of our progressive city. We, who stay at home while our brave men fight, should thank God for the privilege of helping the poor and needy by subscribing money to the Community Chest. Let 191/2 be the most successful year in our campaign to make Roanoke Rapids a better place in ivhich to live. For Home and Country give liberally to “Keep Our Home Fires Burning." KELLY JENKINS, Mayor of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. paign, expressed himself as being confident that the drive this year would reach the quota, which has been set for slightly over $15,000., and will enable the Chest to carry on its work in the city among ten important agencies, for the year 1943. Roanoke Rapids has always gone “over the top” since the community chest system was inaugurated here some five years ago, and observers report more interest than ever in this year’s drive. It is thought that war conditions over the world today has caused people to be more “char ity-minded” than ever, and little difficulty in reaching the quota is expected. However, Father Denges has not entered the campaign with a spirit of "over-confidence,” and his work ers are geared up to make one of the greatest appeals to contributors next week from a standpoint of thoroughness that has never been conducted by the chest here. A mammoth rally program pre ceding the drive will be held at the High School Auditorium Friday night, which will be attended by all workers actively engaged in the drive. Full details of Friday night’s program will be found on Page 4 — Section B of this issue. The Herald this week publishes its annual Community Chest section giving details of the various ways in which funds are expended by chest officials, and will be found in Section B of pages 5 to 8. Bumper Goes to War Effort i i i i .......i Ed M. Anderson, left, immediate past president of the North Carolina Press Association, that , is sponsoring the N. C, Newspapers Scrap Metal Contest, is shown congratulating Jack Schulman, right, ; well known Brevard merchant, for being the first motorist to join the “Transylvania Scrap Bumper . Club.” Schulman believes that with gas and tire rationing and a 35-mile-hour speed limit, his bumper ) wm be worth more in the war effort in the scrap pile than on his car.

The accident occurred on the Lawrenceville highway near Gaston between 4:15 and 4:30 Sat urday afternoon. S. S. Clary, country merchant, discovered the wreck and found John Jordan Edwards, driver of the automobile, to be dead. The two other occupants of the car, L. J. Kelly and H. G.

Funeral services were held for Mr. Edwards Sunday afternoon at 2:00 from his father’s home near Gaston.
