Read ab ut it in The Herald next wee]**_ EMPLOY THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAP WEEK The attention of the American Legion has been directed to the fact that the week of October 6 to 12 has been designated as 'Employ The Physically Handi capped Week.” The plight of the physically handicapped is very close to the heart of every true Legionnaire. Many of us have witnessed with our own eyes the means by which men become maimed through acts r.f war. It was not a pleasant sight nor does it bring back sooth ing memories. A handicapped person does not _1 Lott/s fo Ka a iMpfiin ot war to have the sympathy of everyone. Neither does the fact that he is handicapped prove that he is not a capable and conscien tious worker, or may become such if given a fair chance. Many people have overcome burdensome handicaps to accomplish the seem ingly impossible. Many of the greatest people- the world has known were sufferers from some sort of impediment. The American Legion asks that all employers give these unfortu nate people an opportunity to prove their worth. Thousands up on thousands of our young have returned handicapped physically. Many of them are sensitive about their disabilities. Help them to find their place in order that they may live a normal life. In conclusion, the Legion says lo you: “You can’t look into a man’s face and see what’s under his shirt.” Slips on Floor; Breaks Her Arm While engaged in cooking break fast last Monday morning Mrs. G.

D., Bishop of Ral (Continued on page 12—Sect. A) The Roanoke Rapids Community Chest Drive, which begins Oc tober 14 and continues through October 20, has as its goal this year the raising of enough money to help those who are unfort unate and in need of aid, and to supplement funds for and to sup port those organizations which function for the betterment of the community at large and which have no other source of income without individual solicitation. Cach individual of the community may point with pride to the goal set and the goal he will help to meet as a small token of his spirit, inherently American, to share with those not quite so fortunate and to help support tnose organizations which tend to develop the welfare of the neigh borhood. And to likewise, Human nature encourages each individual to question himself as to just where his money went and to what good did it ac when he dug down into hi® pockt book to give to this worthy cause. It may be pointed out in the beginning the reason for the term “Community Chest’' and the concentrated effort on the Community Chest Drive. All agencies of the city and commun ity whose mojor support is de rived form the goodness of the hearts of the people of this city and community by their donations are combined under the Commun ity Chest. So, insted of six dif ferent drives at six different times with six diffenent sets of cam paign bills to pay to help sup port six different agencies, all are combined under the Community Chest. One campaign is made, one set of campaign bills are paid and all six local agencies are benefited. Then, throughout the year, though he may not hear of another drive or need help, each individual who gave has the satis faction in his heart of knowing that at any given time the money he gave is doing good for some one somewhere in his town. The Associated Charities receive 34 cent of every dollar given to the Community Chest. This money is spent in Roanoke Rapids for food, clothing, medicine, shoes, milk and other necessities of life to give immediate temporary re leif to those people that need help. Causes may be illness, old age, desertion, or other trouble. Think, before making a criticism, of the amount of aid given any mdiviaual from this agency that it was you who could have made that amount bigger by giving more. And remember, no one likes to tell of the aid he had to have ‘rom a charitable institution, so you won’t hear this agnecy ad vertised by satisfied customers. The Boy Scouts receive 20c and the Girl Scouts receive 17c of ■every dollar donated. This money is spent to obtain the leadership [necessary to direct the Scouting I (Continued on page 12—Sect. A)
