Frink, chairman of the Red Cross War Relief Fund drive in Brunswick county, has mailed letters to leaders in the various communities of Brunswick county requesting them to serve as local chairman in the current cam- J paigu. These persons have been asked | to designate at least two others | whom they wish to ask to serve with them on their community committee and report immediateiy. j This is the method of organizing a county-wide drive for War Relief funds. Arrangements are being made for sending out advertising material and for en-1 listing the support of the various clubs and organizations throughout the county. Plans also are being made for a series of public meetings in each of the consolidated schools during the drive.

"What's the matter with that bell", Defense Chairman W. S. Wells wanted to know as the rasping clanking began. It was explained to him that the bell was doing its best in view of the fracture sustained on Halowe'en night. "Then we ought to have another one", declared Wells, who added in the same breath, "I'll give a dime on a new one." I Among his listeners was Mrs. II. W. Hood, who decided she'd ; take him lip on that offer. Wells gave not one dime, but five ; dimes, and Mrs. Hood extended f the campaign to several nearby ( seats and raised $1.25 in a short time. And since this prob- ( ably is a far cry from the purchase price of a new bell, it is . safe to say that she is in a . receptive mood for other dona- j tions.

This action grew out of the suit of the Catholic Order of Foresters and the Women's Catholic j Order of Foresters against the; _ county for collection of interest1. and principal for county bonds, j I The suit was instituted when j | these bondholders refused to enter I into the refunding program for I Brunswick county, agreed upon by ' other bondholders. Another important piece of business transacted Monday by the commissioners was the reappointment of Charlie Hickman as keeper of the county home for the coming year at the same salary as last year. The commissioners also sked athat the superintendent make a monthly report jof his- farm sales, and ordered that on certain types of sales he confer with the county auditor before making them. The county physician and the superintendent of public welfare also have been requested to make monthly visits to the county home and to submit a report to i the board on the condition existing in their respective fields of service. ^ Joint Purchase Farm Machinery i This Has Been Suggested As One Means For Obtaining Equipment With Which To Carry on Farm Operations This Year c With farm machinery becoming % I increasingly difficult to purchase c because of the National Emerg- * cncy, farmers in Brunswick coun- 1 ty are being encouraged to con- r sider the plan of joint purchase c and ownership of equipment, ac- 1 cording to Barney R. Bennett, r Chairman of the Brunswick Coun- . ty U. S. D. A. Defense Board. 1 : This plan, it was pointed out, is in line with a suggestion made recently by Secretary of Agri- , culture Claude R. Wickard, en- , couraging such" joint ownership ( of farm machinery to insure max- a imum use and efficiency of operation. t With the demands for metal be- < coming more pressing since the . entry of the United States into the war, such co-operation can aid greatly in prosecution of the i war. Moreover, it is likely that preference in deliveries of orders from factories may be given to groups rather than to individuals, Mr. Bennett said. t The Farm Security Administra tion, an agency of the Depart- ( ment of Agriculture, having had ( considerable experience in help- < ing organize and administer co- t operative groups of farmers, has t been working with the County U. i S. D. A. Board in furthering the i present program. "Joint purchase and ownership < of expensive machinery makes it i possible for small operators to ] have the use of the labor-saving i devices at a cost within the abil- 1 ity of the small farm unit to pay", says Frank M. Page, FSA I county supervisor. "Moreover, by f buying and using eqiupment in i groups, the supply should be suf- < ficicnt to go around and enable i us to meet the increased produc- < tion goals." l To help small farmers who can- < not get adequate credit elsewhere, I the FSA makes loans for neces- I sary equipment and supplies. Frequently, farms unable to carry 1 the whole cost of a needed piece 1 of equipment can support a share I of the cost. < Mr. Page stands ready to dis- I cuss with small operators the J financing of such purchase on a i J Continued on Pago i ) ; ,0T 5HED EVERY WEDNESDAY To-Fill 1 t Here Sunday j== jt ?>iti fi f BISHOP DARST t , for the next several months, will c assist in the Sunday services. t t ete For icn Feb. 16th X Selective Service ' Board Officials Designate Place For Registration And Registrars In Charge HOURS FROM 7 A.
