Response Reported To Be

Against Dread Di

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.

schools of the county are render

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.
