There are three other important projects for immediate chapter ac tion, two requiring special com mittees. Mrs. C. K. Proctor. Ox ford, chairman of Southern Liter ature for Libraries, is asking each chapter to form a committee to furnish magazine subscriptions, church papers, home papers, and books for “dqy rooms” at army and navy bases in North Carolina.

Mrs. Proctor points out that Uncle Sam needs forty-three million books to keep the men and women in service supplied with reading matter. Another project for special chap ter committees is the locating of all unmarked Confederate graves in their respective counties. No money is required but work is necessary. The graves have to be located and individual application blanks obtained from George Ross Pou, Raleigh, filled out, and re turned to him. The Federal gov ernment will furnish one of two types of marble headstones. Mr. Rowe is hopeful that chapters will have as many graves as possible marked by May 10. Mrs. Fred D. Jerome, Pitts boro, reminds chapters to order Crosses of Military Service for bestowal on May 10, North Caro lina Confederate Memorial Day.

Mrs. Paul Borden, of Goldsboro, will give a silver loving cup to the chapter of more than fifty members awarding the greatest number of crosses, and the Parsons cup, given by Mrs. Mary Bennett Little, will go to the chapter of less than fifty mem New Suits JUST RECEIVED!
