Membership Goal Large
■ _
President P. K. Gravely or notary
Mount said this week that the
drive of the North Carolina Wild
life Federation to bring its mem
bership to the 20,000 .mark by
June has already advanced far to
ward that objective.
The campaign for members op
ened April 1, and it is being car
ried out with local affiliated clubs
a sthe spearhead of the drive.
Several important meetings have
been held recently in various parts
of the statet under sponsorship of
affiliated clubs in the interest of
the membership campaign. Two
new clubs have been started dur
ing the past week; one in Hay
wood County and the other in
Moore County.
Thurmon Chatham, prominent in
dustrialist, world war veteran and
candidatet for the fifth congres
sional district seat, was the chief
speaker at the get-together meet
ing for clubs of Iredell, Surry,
‘ Wilkes and Yadkin counties in
Elkin on Friday night, April 6.
Approximately 100 federation mem
bers attended.
Chatham, formerly a member of
the state board of conservation
and development, cited the dire
wildlife situation in North Caro
lina by comparing present re
sources with those of a quarter
century ago. He said that those
charged with the responsibility of
conserving and restoring these re
sources should have more quali
fications than those of politicians.
Ross O. Stevens, executive di
rector of the federation, reported
today that the federation now has
more than 12,000 members, dis
tributed among 97 affiliated clubs
in 94 counties. He said that sev

During the membership drive
the emphasis will be on the fed
eration’s major objective — the
creation of a separate division of
game and fish.

MINISTER FELT HIS DAYS
SHORT; LAUDS RETONGA
Rev. Grubb Weighed Only
100 Lbs. And Needed Help
To Get From His Cliair To
His Bed. Regains Weight;
Feels Better and Stronger
Than In Years.
Scores of ministers of the gospel
have given Retonga their strong
and voluntary public endorsement
and among the most grateful is
Re.v. H. M. Grubb, 406 W. Ten
nessee Avenue, Knoxville, Tenn.,
a minister of the Missionary Bapt
ist Church for forty years, and
he is widely known throughout
East Tennessee. Speaking of his
experience with Retonga Rev.
Grubb gratefully stated:
"A long and severe illness left
me weighing only one hundred lbs.
And x seemed unable to regain
my strength. My appetite was
gone, and what little I managed
lo eat brought cn severe gas pains
in my stomach. I had to ta.te
3trong laxatives, I felt high-strung
and got little refreshing sleep. My
strength was so far gone that I
had to bare help to get from
my cbair to my bed and I thought
I was not long for this world.
"Retonga soon relieved all this
REV. H. M. GRUBBS
distress and I regained all the
fifty lbs. my illness had cost me.
Since then I have taken a bottle
or two of Retonga occasionally
and I don't believe I have felt
better in ten years than I feel
now. Mj gratitude to Retonga is
unbounded.
Retonga is intended to relieve
distress due to insufficient flow
of rgastric juices in the stomach,
oss of appetite, Vitamin B-l de
ficiency and constipation. Accept
no substitute. Retonga may be ob
tained at Rosemary Drug Co.
