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 !
Whether the war news is good
or bad, each day brings its toll of
wounded. 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? Every resident
of Polk County between the ages
of 21 and 60 (18 to 21 with writ
ten consent of parents), who is in
normal health, should feel it his
or her most urgent responsibility
to be at the Parish House on
Monday, Sept. 18, between 1 and
6 in the afternoon to donate a pint
of blood. Appointments may be
made by> calling 340 or 110-W,
and transportation will be furn
ished when necessary. Small chil
dren will be cared for while par
ents donate.—Contributed.
