HOW BEST TO SAVE?
The question of the day is not whether or not to save, but HOW BEST TO SAVE.
The best way to make the start is to open a Savings Account.
The proper time to begin is right now when work is plentiful and wages high.
The sure method to make progress is through systematic, regular deposits.
The right place is in this Institution where new accounts are welcome and depositors are given every possible
banking assistance.

JEWISH RELIEF DAY
k.
mi
H i. I
August 19 Named by Governor as
Day for Contributions to Relief
of Jewish War Sufferers in Va
rious Parts of the World.
The proclamation requested of the
Governor by the recent meeting of
North Carolina Jews in Raleigh, who
asked that a day be set aside in North
Carolina as Jewish Relief day, when
contributions would be given to miti
gate to some extent the horrors of war
now being suffered by Jews in various
parts of the world, has been issued by
Governor Bickett and is characteris
tically eloquent and impressive, as
follows :
"Last year the whole world was
thrilled when the news flashed over
the wires that Jerusalem had been de
livered from the hands of the Turk.
The feeling was universal that the
Holy City should be restored to the
people who had builded it and with
whose history it is forever associated.
This is a fine sentiment, but finer and
vastly more important than the re
storation of the Holy City is the sal
vation of millions of Jews from hun
ger and disease and death. In Tur
key, in Palestine, in Lithuania, in Rus
sia, in Poland, and in Galicia starva
tion stares the children of Abraham in'l
the face. Daily. Jewish husbands see
their wives grow thin and pale and
fade away into the Great Silence.
Daily Jewish babies tug frantically
at breasts that are withered and dry
and above the din of battles is heard
once more the voice of Rachel weep
ing for her children and refusing to
be comforted because they are not.
"I call upon the good people of
North Carolina to hearken to this cry,
to rally to the help of the helpless and
once again to show themselves wor-i
thy of the high service they are priv-j
ileged to render. The hounded, hun-j
gering Jew can well afford to die.1
We cannot afford, by indifference and!
inaction, to have his blood on ouri
hands. I
"Therefore. I. Th0mas Walter fciok-j
ett, Governor of North Carolina, do'
hereby set apart, Monday, the 19th
day of August, 1918, as Jewish Re-i
lief day. I ask all newsnarers to
give wide publicity to this dav, and
especially ask that on Sunday, the
18th day of August, notice be given
in all the churches in the State that
the following Monday will be observ
ed as Jewish Relief day, and the peo
ple will be given an "opportunity to
help this stricken race.
"On Monday, the 19th day of Au
gust, I beg all cur people to give to
this most worthy cause generously
and gladly. Let Jew and Gentile
touch elbows, and work together for
the relief of these millions in distress,
and may He, who made and loves us
all, bestow upon every giver ar.d eve
ry gift His heavenly benediction
"Done at our city of Raleigh, this
the drd day of August, in the year of
cur Lord one thousand nine hundred
Rheumatism
and eighteen, and in the one hundred
and forty-third year of our American
Independence.

"By the Governor: "Governor.
"SANTFORD MARTIN,
"Private Secretary."
As has been stated in The Robeson
ian, representative Jewish citizens of
the State met in Raleigh Wednesday
of last week and organized for the
purpose of raising $100,000 to alle
viate the sufferings of their coreli
gionists in the war-stricken countries.
Mr. A. Weinstein of Lumberton was
among the prominent Jews from va
rious sections of the State who at.
tended that meeting. In a news item
in regard to the meeting the Raleigh
News and Observer gives the follow
ing: "Before calling upon the Governor
in a body the Jewish citizens perfect
ed their State organization, which
will be known as the North Carolina
Jewish Aid Society, by electing Lionel
Weil, of Goldsboro. president; E.
Sternberger, of Greensboro, vice-president;
A. A. Joseph, of Goldsboro, secretary-treasurer,
and Bernard Cone,
of Greensboro; Dr. S. Mendlesohn,
Wilmington, Dr. N. Rosenstein, Dur
ham; William Perlstein, Raleigh; Ellis
Goldstein, Dunn; Sig Wallace, States
ville, members of the executive com
mittee. The meeting was held in the
Yarborough hotel in the morning and
organization completed after the Dur
poses of the gathering were explain
ed by Mr. Weil. Much of the time
was consumed in discussing the plans
and scope of the work to be under
taken in raising the $100,000 in this
State.
"The visit to Governor Biek0tt was
made at 3:30 in the afternoon. The
representatives laid their plans before
the Governor who in turn spoke words
of pneouracement. and pytitpgcbH a An-

sure to aid the suffering Jews in the
war stricken countries. He assured
his visitors that their plans were de
serving of the support and co-operation
of the people of North Carolina
who, he said, had always in the past
rtFponded nobly to appeals for war
funds.
' The meeting was attended by about
50 Jewish citizens representing prac
tically every section of the State."
