Rogers Notes Satis factory Progress But Ur ges No Let-Up In Con duct Of Drive SCHOOL CHILDREN PLAYING BIG PART! Response Reported To Be Genuine And Sympath- 1 etic To Appeal For Aid Against Dread Di sease Satisfactory progress in the Brunswick County March of Dimes was reported this morning by Principal G. O. Rogers, county chairman, who said that it ap pears likely that Brunswick will meet its $1,120 quota. He cau tioned, however, against over op timism and urged no one to neg lect making their contribution. Sparked by the school children, solicitation has covered much of the county, with school children taking pride in seeing that their coin folders are filled with dimes. In other parts of the county, community chairmen are conduct ing active campaigns. Response is reported both gen uine and ethusiastic, with eveiy one expressing a willingness to contribute their share in helping to combat this dread disease of childhood. Mr. Rogers said that the sympathetic response of the public to the fight against in fantile paralysis makes the con duct of a drive to collect funds for it relatively easy. "The thought of children being maimed for life by a disease of childhood stirs the emotions of everyone of us," she said, "and human nature arises with en thusiasm to any effort to prevent such catastrophes." The campaign in Brunswick county will continue through Jan uary 31. Last year Brunswick county contributed over $1,800 to the March of Dimes. As is always the case, the schools of the county are render ing a major contribution in the | Johnson Lauds OP A Veterans 1 ? Declares Board Members Gave Fine Example Of American Democracy RALEIGH? Brunswick countians who began their fifth year of ser vice on OPA Price Control Boards this month were lauded today by OPA District Director Theodore S. Johnson for their work in the past and reminded that that work is far from being finished. "Board members who gave so untiringly of their time and energy to the rationing of scarce commodities are the people who made rationing programs a fine exammple of American Demo cracy," Johnson asserted. OPA continues to need the as sistance of unpaid volunteers, on : local boards to meet the tremen dous inflationary threat that is many times greater now than it was after World War X Johnson said. ; Reviewing the history of the organization of local boards John son related that immediately fol- 1 lowing Pearl Harbor, each gover nor was asked to set up an or ganization to ration tires in his state by January 5, 1942. Less than one month after the war began, he continued, approxi mately 7,500 local rationing boards, manned by 20,000 volun teer workers, were receiving ap plications and issuing ration cer tificates for tires. This original army of 20,000 volunteers soon increased to 76, 000, and another 200,000 men and women volunteered to assist the local boards regularly, he said. These volunteers ? merchants, bankers, factory workers, doctors, housewives, high school boys and girls, teachers, office workers, and farmers ? gave a specified amount of their time on a regu lar weekly schedule. With everything but sugar now off the rationing list, OPA has changed the official name of its local organizations to Area Price Control Boards, Johnson said. The district director stressed that while goods are scarce and in great demand these Price Con trol Boards will greatly need the support of the volunteers who worked so efficiently on price con trol during the war.
