All over the Nation this month, Americans are mo

seeking $125,000,000.00 in voluntary contributions for
the NaticHial War Fund.
Here in North Carolina we have been called upon td
raise our fair share of this goal. I am proud of the
leadership that has responded to this challenge and 1
am happy to be able to report to you that the oppor-
timity to share in this compaign will be extended to
every community in the State.
^ North Caroluia’s record in the recently completed'
Third War Loan is one of which we are all deservedly
proud. Now we are called upon to give—to give that
others may live. The returns upon this investment in
the National War Fund will be in the satisfaction that
comes from knowing that we have brought rest and
recreation to our fighting men through the USO, friend
ly services to prisoners in enemy campa^ fo^ Md medi
cines to our valiant allies, smd many oth^ ^tidly need-
