Scott May Set Congress Race For November Raleigh, Slept. 6—Governor Scott said today he thought a special election to elect a successor to Rep. A. L. Bulwinkle in the 11th Congressional district should be held at the time of the general election in November. Scott said that Secretary Ray mond Maxwell of the State Board of Elections had informed him it would require at least 30 days to hold ar special election and “I wouldn’t see the value of holding a special election 30 days in ad vance” of the general election. Under the law, the Governor is charged with the duty of calling a special election when a congress ional vacancy occurs. Rep. A .L. Bulwinkle died last week. If a special election is called in the 11th district at the same time as the general election, voters in the district would choose a con gressman for a short term ending in January and for a two-year term beginning in January. Woodrow W. Jones of Ruther ford is the Democratic nominee in the 11th district for the two year term.—Asheville Citizen. IT’S UP TO US !

And in almost every case, the first treatment—the treatment that saves hundreds of lives other wise doomed—is blood or plasma transfusion. Whether or not that life-giving blood is available de pends upon us, the civilians, who as yet have been called upon for almost no other service. Can we possibly fail our soldiers in their desperate need?
