HNOUNGE PROGRAM FOR BRITAIN DAY ;errises to Be Held in First Baptist Church. Music Will Be FnrnUhed A Bad Two Speakers itave Bees Secured But Word Has Been Re ceived From Frenchman v The Colonial Damu, who have in charge the arrangements for the Brit ain day celebration to be held here Saturday, as well as in a thousand or more other cities of the nation, have completed the program,- -which in cludes addresses .bj. .two prominent speakers and possibly three. Positive assurance' has been receive ci that Dr. Howard E. Rondthaler, president of Salem college, Winston Salem, and Captain Curran, of the British army, will be present, but nothing: had been heard last night from Senator Simmons relative to Lieut. ATincent de Wiezdicki, a member of the French high commission in Washington, accepting an- invitation to be one of the speakers. In a telegram to member of the committee on arrangements received last week the senator stated that he felt sure the lieutenant could be In duced to come and was to have given a definite answer Monday, but further message has not been received. The committee has written Col. A. W. Chase, commandant at Fort Cas well requesting .that he have the fort band and a number of soldiers in the city for the occasion but no reply has been received from the colonel yet. However, it was stated last night by a member of the committee that there will be band music. In view of the fact that the celebration is endorsed by the government it is believed that Colonel Chase will have the band take part if it is possible for him to do so. The meeting will be held in the First. Baptist church at 4 o'clock Sat urdav afternoon- and will be presided over" by Rev. W. H. Milton, DD. It was the desire of the committee to have the exercises in the Academy of Music as it is the belief that this is the only building in the city with a largre enough seating capacity to ac commodate the crowd which is ex pected to attend. An attraction had been booked for that date prior to the announcement that the celebration would be held and the management could not secure-- a release from the company billed to show here. The following program was an nounced last night: Music by the band. Invocation Rev. A. D. McClure, D.D. Address Dr. Howard E. Rondthaler, Winston-Salem. Music British national anthem. Address Captain Curran, of the British army. Patriotic Music By the . band and the audience. Address By a member of the French high commission in Washington. ' Mnsic- The Star Spangled Banner," by the band and the audience. Doxology. Benediction Rev. John Jeter Hurt, D.D. It is realized that Saturday after noon is a busy time for many of the business men of the city, but as this celebration is tjb be held in apprecia tion for GreatfTBrltain's service ren dered the cause of democracy and hu manity during the world-war, the committee feels that everyone should be present even though some sacrifice may be necessary. CAMPAIGN BEING WAGED FOB RAT EXTERMINATION County Food Administration Trying to Eliminate the Peat. The nation-wide campaign for the extermination of rats, carried on un der the supervision of the '"Onited States department of agriculture with the object of preventing the enormous waste of food caused every year by rodents, is being vigorously pushed in .New Hanover county by the county food administraton. Miss Jeffress and Miss Rankin, home demonstration agents, with the assist ance of Frank Griffith, of Atlanta, who is working with the North Carolina ag riculture extension department, are distributing literature throughout the county setting forth the, necessity for getting rid of rats and mice, which .are an ever-growing menace to the coun try, causing the loss of millions of dollars every year through the destruc tion of food; supplies. An article taken from the farmer's bulletin says: "The rat is ths worst animal pest in the world. From its home among filth it visits dwellings and storerooms to pollute and destroy human food. "It carries bubonic plague and many other diseases fatal .to .man . and -h&a been responsible for more untimely deaths among human beings than all the wars of history. "On many a farm if the- grain -eaten and wasted by rats and mice could be sold, the proceeds would more than pay all the farmer's taxes. r "The common 'brown rat "breeds " 6' to 10 times a year and produces an aver age of 10 young at a litter. Young females breed when. only, three .or fopr. months old. At this rate a pair of rats breeding uninterruptedly and without deaths, would at the end of three years '18 generations) be increased to- 359,- 09,482 individuals. "For centuries the -world has been fighting rats without organization and at the same time has been" feeding them and building for them fortresses for concealment. If We are - to fight them on equal terms we must deny them food and hiding places. We must organize and unite to rid communities of these pests. The time to begin-is now." This bulletin, which gives a detailed description of the best methods of ex terminating the rat, the most effective types of traps to be used, and plans for constructing buildings so that they "ill be rat-proof, may be secured by addressing the office of the New Han over food administrator. ?'-"- WOMEN WHO FADE EARLY. ; How often -we hear the expression.

"Reasonable" . Amusement Plan, at Park May Not Be Opposed So Stonily. .. Following the ( re-appearance In a city council meeting of the question of permitting " certain -: amusements at Lakeside park Sunday afternoon, there is once more, discussion -in the city of the proposal, which was debated with more or less heat last summer. Some profess to believe that this time there will not be so much opposition. - The new proposition is that an out-' siaer wail invest considerable money in .Lakeside amusements if he be -allowed to operate between 1, and 7 o'clock p. m. Sundays. Objection was raised immediately at council meeting that all sides , should have a hearing before the laws were -changed; and there could be ,no opposition to that, so the subject comes up next Monday night. Besides, the city attorney . was absent last Monday night. Among opponents Of "loosening" th Sunday .laws are those who feel that if -an inch is given, a mile may be taken; that if amusement devices are allowed they be"! stepping stones to such a lack of observance of the Sab bath as will .be wholly undesirable. Chief of reasons against any letting down of the bars, of course, is the feeling that the day should be strict ly observed according to religious teachings. .. It is pointed out, however, that even now it is not so observed by all. One Srominent clergyman yesterday, in iscussing the matter, remarked upon the fact that many indulge in motor ing, bathing" and golf playing,, which he did not approve of, but which he can not prevent; and this being the case, those people who can not.avail themselves of such recreation, have as much right to visit a park and en joy reasonable amusements, attend an educational movie or take a boat ride, as those who prefer and enjoy the above mentioned sports.; It is being said that not o much opposition will develop against a rea sonable open Sunday proposal, as has been evidenced in the past, and some believe council will take favorable ac tion this time. The support which the managers of the shipyards are giving the "open" Sunday idea, it is pointed out, is a strong card for the park plan. PORTO RICANS ASK HEJLP IN THEIR DIRE DISTRESS Firwt Earthquake and Now Influenaa Have Been Sore Affliction. Mayor P. Q. Moore has received from A. Galanes. mayor of Mayaguez, Porto Rica, the following letter asking help of the city in the straits in which the people of the island now find them selves as a result of destruction by earthquakes and a visitation of influ enza: "Sir: For the first time since our connection with' the United States we are compelled by necessity to make a Call on our big brothers of the conti nents for help. "On the 11th of October past, our island and especially this section of the country, suffered a tremendous and continuous shaking which de stroyed most of the urban zone, in cluding our hospital, city hall, or phanage -and , other public buildings. Also most of our poorer classes are without homes and therefore are sleep ing under temporary shelter, which contribute- largely to the propagation of fevers and the so called Spanish in fluenza, which isi making progress amongst them at this very critical and sad moment. "We have no time to send you pic tures representing the condition of the city- as it Appears after the first big quake left us. Probably you have seen a few of them, as many were taken by the agents of-The Associated Press just after the first relief work was started. Many firms in your city which are doing business with us will no doubt help us if you are 'Willing to make a call on them for this very charitable purpose. Whatever help comes to us, whether on the line of building material, clothes or money, should be forwarded immediately to our address, as the most pending need Is now, at this very moment, when a dollar in time will be- worth a hun dred later on. "We are sure that the people of your -city, those who at times have sent their help to all parts of the world in far distant lands, will no doubt respond to the first cry of anguish from the "beautiful American island territory which lies in your neighborhood, and where the flag of the most humane people of the world waves. "Mayaguez, the most precious city of Porto Rica, has been almost ruin ed; but America is rich, and has al ways responded to the- needs of the world. It certainly wHl hear us. "Will you, in your official capacity or as a fellow citizen of the great" re public, give us a little of your time in behalf of our suffering people? "We shall be obliged eternally to you for whatever your' city might send us." MEMORIAL COMMITTEE TODAY. Chamber of Commerce Member Will V Consider Subject of Interest. The chamber of commerce committee, E. T. Taylor chairman, named to con eider' the subject of a memorial for the soldiers of the county who give their lives in the country's service, a subject that is .of very great Interest to the entire community, will meet this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock attthe cham ber, when plans will be. suggested and discussed for establishing- a suitable memorial to New Hanover heroes. As soon as these-plans are complet ed, the public will be given opportuni ty for subscribing tor the needed funds and it is'not expected that in this par ticular "war" activity, -there will be necessary a vigorous "drive" such as-f the war has accustomed the City to in the various campaigns. It is ex pected that there will be a spontaneous response to the. opportunity to help memorialize those men who went to their grayesforthe high ideals of the republic. .- : Xv ' FUNERAL OJ ARCHIE MELTON Will Be .Held .From Residence This Morning Funeral at Bfaaonftoro. The funeral of Archie H.

S. S. . Result of the InittaUDay's -Work Was I . VerySatlsfaetory to. the. Chairman Continues Until City Is Covered.' The' victory ; drive an intensive cam paign launched for the purpose of put ting New Hanover ovar the top with her quota of war savings stamps, was started yesterday v morning and good results were - obtained- from the first day's work. It .was. first decided to make it a three-day campaign . but Chairman Hohrietj of the kew Hanover W. S. S. committee; tated -iast night-! that he had decided to continue it until the canvassers have covered eyery sec tion of the City. 'The chairman made no report last night of the pledges secured yesterday, because only a few of the team cap tains reported to him. However, if those who failed to report did as good work as those who reported, the chair man and the committee have much to feel good over. This does not mean that the goal was reached, for unfor-t. tunately such was not the case, and it will require two more days of tireless work 'on the part of the canvassers to accomplish this. , New Hanover's quota for the entire year was fixed at $701,814, and if the county is to go over the top approxi mately $300,000 must be pledged during the present drive. This is almost half of the entire allotment and if it has required 11 months to raise about 60 percent it is. evident that it is going to require hard work on the part of the committee and a hearty response uby the public if the goal is to be reach ed in the short time remaining. The city has been divided into blocks and today the canvassers will work what has been designated as the mid dle section, which embraces the area bounded by Third and Tenth and Red Cross and Castle. There is a captain for every two blocks in this territory and the captains can secure as many workers as they see fit. During to day members of the Red Cross motor corps will deliver pledge cards to the captains and will call fo rthem .again Thursday at noon and the captains are requested tohave them filled out and ready to return by that time. The Rotarians who, are aiding in the drive have been assigned the business houses within the district to be worked today. Members of the club met at the Y. M. C. A. at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and organized for the drive and did good work yesterday and ex pect to accomplish equally as much today. Under the direction of Miss Simmons, the drive at the Carolina shipyard was started yesterday and today it will be gin at the Liberty, the work at this yard' being under the direction of Mr. Cruser. The chairman stated last, night that he was expecting. good re sults from both the shipyards. Realizing the great importance of the state subscribing her full- allot ment' of stamps Governor Bickett has issued the following appeal to the peo ple of North Carolina to rally to the cause and help put the state over the top: "Of all the financial measures de vised by. the government for the win ning of the war the W. S. S. is the most important. The campaign for the sale of these stamps and certificates carried the truth about the war to every home in the state, and ' was followed by a magnificent outburst of patriotic en thusiasm. Already a great record has been made, but we are not yet within sight of the goal. The Christmas drive now on must be pushed to complete success. I know you are weary and that the call for greater speed comes to tired nerves, but I beg you to leap into the breach once more with the old time fire and enthusiasm, and the thing will begone. Make the house to house canvass one hundred percent thorough. Urge -the people to let Santa Claus handle these certificates in amounts from one thousand dollars to one hun dred dollars. Urge the families to Join the limit club, and I believe that before the new year's bells ring the greatest of all our financial efforts will have been brought to a glorious conclusion. YOUNG LADY RUN DOWN Automobile Takes To the Sidewalk . One is Badly Hurt. Miss Ruth Page, a young lady about 20 years of age, who lives with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Sikes, at 502 Red Cross street, was very painfully Injured about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when she was run down at the corner of Fifth and Red Cross streets by an automobile driven by Mrs. R. T. Melvvn, of Burgaw, who was accompanied by Mr. Melvin. The young lady's injuries, which consisted of a bad cut on the back of the head and bruises ort her limbs, were not thought to be serious. According to the statement of per sons witnessing the accident Mrs. Mel vin was going souih on Fifth street arid was endeavoring to reverse her course by turning around the end of the plaza at Red Cross. She made the turn too broad, however, allowing her car to take to the sidewalk at the southeast corner in front of Si-kes' store. The young lady had just" step ped from the pavement going across the street when she saw the car com ing her way,. She immediately stepped backwards but the driver, who later admitted getting excited, ran up on the sidewalk knocking the victim to the pavement. Miss Page was carried to James Walker Memorial hospital where her injuries were given surgical attention and was then taken to her home, where she was resting well last night. Mr. and. Mrs. Melvin remained at the city hall while an investigation was made, but no warrant was drawn for them. . DONATED THANKSGIVING DINNER.

HOUSEWIYES URGED TO CONSERVE FOOD "The Huh is Defeated But Hun ger Reigns.!. In. World Relief Week Prosrram Today Is Set Apart as Wftmen's Organlka tion Day .Snggections tor Meet ing A Hungry Worlds This week, December 1-7, haying been designated by the United States food administration as -conservation week for, world relief, all 'women's or ganiza'tiobs are expected to meet, today, which has been set apart as woman's organization day, and formally pledge themselves to continue, to observe the suggestions outlined by the food ad ministration for food conservation. The food administration asks, that the house-wives of America remain mobilized Until the "allies and liberated millions of starving peoples in Europe have been fed. The program suggested for use at the meetings of the various women organizations follows: Singing- "America." Reading Mr. Hoover's speech Singing Solo, or patriotic selection, sung in unison. Conservation talk. -Pledge and resolution. Thanksgiving prayer. Doxology A copy 'of the resolution passed should be sent to the office of the Coun ty food administrator. It has been sug gested that, the following appeal also be read at the meeting: " ' ' "The Hun is defeated but Hunger reigns in Europe. In Poland and Ser bia hardly a child is left alive. Fields are weed-choked; childless women are ! left alone to care for the aged and wounded. But at last eaen violated land lies open to our succor, and we must not fail. We must give -or they will starve. . ' "American soldiers and American re sources in. food and materials of war have helped to win the war. Our men and our resources are still mobilized. The women, who are the guardians of our food resources, must remain until they are mustered out. We face a new program In conservation, one that calls for much more rigid acceptance and discipline, because it does not demand brief, dramatic sacrifices, but a steady unvarying saving of all foods arid the giving up of everything beyond our definite needs. We must accept sim pler habits of living and the daily yielding of indulgences, which had be come woven, into our lives." The pledge all women's organiza tions are asked to sign, promising their continued operation with the food ad ministration in practising food conser vation, reads as follows: "We pledge , to our country our best effort to prevent waste and the selfish use of our food reserves. We pledge our Joyal . cooperation in carrying out the conservation measures suggested by the government. "And if economy sometimes grows Irksome or if this service works Ha welcoming change in Our accustomed manners of living, we wlllthink, of those who have -offered their livesjfor their country and those whose" holmes have been, devastated. We will be glad that we, too, can serve in satisfying their hunger, in renewing their ccur-i age, and in re-establishing their homes." Mr. Hoover says there is greater need for saving food now than ever before in the hlstbry of the world, and that America holds it within her pow er to keep the wolf from the door of the world. This duty, he says, is wid er than war; it ia as wide as humanity itself. The matter of conservation, however, is left entirely with the indi vidual. It is a question of whether one prefers to eat all he wants and let millions- of people in Europe starve, says the food administration, or to con tinue to economize so that there will be Sufficient food to ship overseas to the suffering countries of Enrope Urging that, food conservation rules be observ ed more carefully than ever before, the county food administration issues the following statementi "Dou you know that the world is.on the verge of starvation?

We pay 4 per cent, interest, compounded quarterly. HO PRINCESS STREET Oldest atld largest North people are asking us for food. The child. population of Poland and Serbia is rapidly being wiped out for lack of food, - Our pledge is 20,000,000 tons of food this year, while last year it was only 11,000,000 tons. Shall we continue to economize so that we may share our supplies with Europe's starving mil lions? There is no law except the law of conscience,, but this should be strong enough to cause us all to extend a help ing hand to suffering humanity. The safety o four own nation depends on on our response to this appeal, as hunger-breeds anarchy and revolution. See that there is no waste in your home for the sake of humanity. Shall we In New Hanover county, answer this ap peal as we should? It is left with the individual to decide." VICTORY CHORUS ORGANIZED I First Oomnbmlty- Sing Waa Held At Hememway Last. Ifight. . , Th first of the community aings to be conducted at the Hemenway school building every Tuesday night, was held last night and the Victory chorus, as the organization will be known in the future, was formed and officers elected as follows: Frank P. Harrill. chairman,; Miss. Pauline Williams, seeretaryMiss Elo ise J. Dooley, librarian, whose duty It will be . to collect, distribute and care for the music; R. W, Baxter, song leader. There were 40 to 60 persons present, including some singers with very good voices, ami the promoters local offi cials cf the National Security league, were very much pleased with the in terest taken. The movement for community sings Is nation wide and -Its purpose is two fold, one being to learn the popular songs that are being sung by the American soldiers in France that the. people back home may be able to join in with the boys upon their return, and the other is the mioral effect it has on one to sing. The songs that were sung las night and those which will be used at future meetings were principally airs that are popular with the soldiers. Other numbers more familiar to the public of course were rendered. The sings will be held at 8 o'clock every Tuesday evening and every .one is cordially invited to be present and sing.
