Red Cross Sets $60,000,000 Goal For Work During 1947 Nation-Wide Campaign To Begin March 1; 0 Conn or States Needs For Carrying On Work WASHINGTON, D. C.? On March 1 the American Red Cross through 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 volunteer workers will ask the public to subscribe $60,000 000 to carry on its far-reaching pro gram for the next fiscal year 1947-48. In making the goal announce ment, Red Cross Chairman Basil O'Connor said that Harry D. Gibson of New York City, who headed last year's campaign, has accepted the fund chairmanship again this year. Nationally known as a philanthropist and financier, Mr. Gibson served with distinc tion overseas as Red Cross Com missioner in Western Europe and Great Britain for three years from 1942 to 1945.

"Approximately 75 percent of Red Cross funds are still spent i in war-related services at home and overseas. We still have more than 2,900 workers serving out side of the United States. As our work in army and navy ? hospi tals and other installations grad ually decreases during the next few years work with veterans and their families will increase." The 1947 goal of $60, 000, 000 was set after a carexui survey which pared the 1947-48 budget to the minimum consistent with responsibilities of the organiza tion. At the present time, the chair man emphasized, more than 10, 000 Home Service workers are employed in chapters, supple mented by 19,000 volunteers in this service alone. These work ers are serving men in uniform and veterans and their families, j Added to this, Mc. O'Connor pointed out, is the work of the Red Cross in supplying warm clothing and milk for children and medicines for the sick in battle-scarred areas, and, at home, the provision or surplus blood plasma for civilians, and the courses in home nursing, nu trition, first aid, water safety, and accident prevention. The 1947 fund campaign will continue through March, pro claimed by President Truman as Red Cross Month. Red Cross Sabbath and Sunday were ap proved for Saturday, February 22, and Sunday, February 23, by , leaders of the Catholic, Jewish j and Protestant faiths.

MINTZ, JR., Mgr. SUPPLY, N. C. Shallotte Takes Two From Locals Junior Varsity Girls Lose To ShaUotte 37 To 9 As Boys Drop Close Tilt 18 To 15 Whiteville High school dropped a doubleheader to Shallotte here Tuesday night when' they lost 37 to 9 in the girls contest and 18 to 15 in the boys tilt. The White ville girls ? varsity did not play in the contest as they are play ing in the Elizabethtown tourna ment this week and Coach L. A. Bruton was giving the girls a much needed rest. The girls game was decided in the first few minutes of play as the Brunswick county lassies started hitting the basket in rapid fire order to run up a 14 to 2 lead at the end of the first period. Leading the Shallotte girls was Connie Frink who tallied 17 points in the two quarters that she played to gain scoring honors In the game. Liz Long and Polly Bennett were defense standouts. Coach L. A. Bruton, using his junior varsity, sent in substitu tions at regular intervals to give all his' reserves a chance to get in the action. Playing their first game of the season in competi- 1 tion the junior varsity girls show ed some real talent in the sport. Boager, Duncan, Harrelson and Walter were outstanding for the Whiteville girls and should make fine varsity material for next year. j The boys game was a slow moving and sloppy affair as the Whiteville boys played one of j their worst games of the season. From the opening fun the locals had the "butter fingers" as each pass went into the arms of a Shallotte player after the White ville lads had fumbled it away. Coach Earl Brinkley sat far back in his seat as he watched his boys toss away a game they j should have won easily. Shallotte led the entire tilt and until the third period the White ville boys had scored a slim 6 points. The half time score was 10-5 for the visitors and the third period score was 15-6 with Shal lotte holding the 9 point margin. W accamaw Bank 660th Largest According to a copyrighted tabulation published today by the American Banker, daily banking publication, the Waccamaw Bank and Trust company advanced from 699th to 660th place among the 1500 largest banks In the nation during 1946. This Informa tion was wired to the local bank, Henry Wyche, Public Relation of ficer, stated. Year end statement of the Waccamaw bank showed de posits of 123,828,632.53 and $932, 215.00 in capital funds. The fourth period found the 'pack gaining rapidly on the visitors as they scored 9 points while they held the. opposition to a slim 3 only to lose the ball in the final minutes before they could try for a tally again. Stanaland was high interceptions of the Woldpack's passes. James Garrell led the 'Pack scoring with 7 points and Joe Inman played his usual fine game an the defense. Four Buildings Lost In Blaze Wilmington Fire Depart ment Sent Trucks To Aid Of Leland Residents Dur ing Sunday Conflagration A fire said to have resulted in the explosion of an oil stove, Sunday destroyed four Leland buildings and caused an estimated loss of $25,000, part of this being covered by insurance.
