Soon; Splendid Progress Reported
Indications Are That Quota
Will Be Exceeded. Girls
To Go Camping
Splendid progress is being made
in the promotion of the Brevard
girl scout finance drive, Mrs. Ashe
Macfie, drive chairman and Mrs.
Keith Pooser, council commission
er, announced yesterday.
The drive will close within the
next few days’ time and according
to present indications, the quota
will be exceeded by a substantial
amount. _
Drive leaders stated that they
had received excellent co-opera
tion from individuals, firms and
industries.
“We knew that the people of
Brevard and Transylvania county
appreciate the fine work of the
girl scout organization, but we did
not realize that wj would receive
such fine co-operation with our
first finance campaign,” Mrs.
Pooser and Mrs. Macfie declared.
“In setting our budget, we only
included essential items and if we
can exceed that original quota, we
will be able to render far greater
service and to expand the girl
scout work,” they said.
Plans are now being made to
send around 50 girl scouts to
Camp Illahee June 20 to 27. Part
of all of these girls’ expenses will
be paid from the money raised.
The leaders further stated that
with the exception of $10 that is
sent to headquarters for charter
expense, ail of the other money
will be used here at home.
More than 40,000 patents and
pending patent applications of en
emy nationals of enemy-occupied
countries are under the control
of the Alien Property Custodian,
as compared with 17,000 siezed in
the last war.

Dr. E. P. Billups, pastor of the
First Methodist church of Canton,
was toastmaster. Around 200 per
sons attended the banquet and
special musical selections were
rendered by Jo Ann Carter and
Julia Owen and a quartet.
As a grand climax to the big
affair, Dr. Coltrane outlined a pro
posed five-point program for the
college, as follows:
Program Is Outlined
First, To co-operate with the
government program of training
\+ + + +
men and women for war service.
Second, To co-operate with the
government in its program of re
habilitation of young men and
women who are injured in the

on the proper kind of an educa
tional program at Brevard.
Fourth, To co-operate with other
schools in the promotion of an

Commencement Sermon
Delivering the commencement
sermon at the Brevard Methodist
church last Sunday morning, Rev.
James B. McLarty, pastor of the
First Methodist church of Bel
mont, urged the graduates to con
secrate themselves anew to the
great task of helping to build a
better world.
“Today you are going out into
two worlds,” Rev. McLarty said.
“One of them is dead and the
other is about to be born.”
He described the world that is
“dead” as having made a miser
able failure because of a rever
ence for material things.
“In the new world there will be
a greater brotherhood of mankind
and it is our duty to see that our
nation does not again side-track
its responsibility,” he said.
The influence of Christian edu
cation in the new world will be
vitally important, Rev. McLarty
stated, and said young people
should be encouraged to attend
Christian church schools.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to take this means
of expressing our thanks to our
friends and neighbors for the
many acts of kindness and sym
pathy shown us during the illness
and at the death of our husband
and father, and for the lovely
floral offerings.

A report on the most tremendous financing
task in history - - - the Second War Loan
DuRTNG the three weeks between April
12 and May 1, the American people tackled
the biggest job of financing in the history
of the world.
In these three weeks it was proposed to
raise the sum of 13 billion dollars, or more
than half as much as was raised by five
drives in the first world war.
It was obvious that the task was hopeless
unless the people of the nation were des
perately in earnest about the war. And it
was equally obvious that here was, so to
speak, a thermometer by which the fervor
of the people could be measured with
reasonable accuracy.
This is why we believe you, as an Amer
ican citizen, can take pride in this report.
For it was written solely by you, the people
The result, in dollars
Our goal was 13 billion dollars. Actually,
the American people subscribed 18 billion,
500 million dollars.
This was 90% as much as was raised in
all five drives of the first world war com
bined.
It was, I think, as much a victory lor
America and the free American democracy
as any military triumph.
Where did the money come from?
You will be interested in where this 18Vi
billion dollars came from — for every dol
lar invested in War Bonds is more than a
purchase; it is a demonstration of faith.
The chart below shows the portion of the
18Vi billion that came from commercial
banks. They were eager to buy more, but
were limited to set amounts:

Naturally, it was your money that bought
the bonds in the two groups above — for
you are the people who put your money in
banks and invest in insurance.
But how about what might be called your
“personal” money.
That is a very important question, for it
is vital that Americans, as individuals, buy
War Bonds with all they can spare.
Our goal, here, was 2Yz billion dollars.

To review your record to date, almost half
our entire population own at least one bond

able to buy bonds, see the chart below:

Who gets the credit?
The credit for the 2nd War Loan goes to
the people.
It goes to the children who put dimes and
quarters into war stamps. To everyone who
bought a bond. To thousands of patriotic
banking people. To advertising people who
donated their creative talents. To patriotic
merchants and companies who paid the
bill for war bond messages. To radio sta
tions, newspapers, movies, outdoor adver
tising companies, and publications.
But chiefly, perhaps, to those who turned
voluntary bond salesmen — a loyal legion
of patriots.
10 out of every 1,000 men and women in the U.S were

What lies ahead?
Yes, America’s record is good. But we can
not become complacent — for our biggest
financing job lies ahead.
In the first 4 months of this year, we
raised 25 billion dollars. During the bal
ance of this year we must raise 45 billion
dollars more.
The war is costing us 100 billion dollars
this year. Part of this will come from taxes,
and the balance must come from War
Loans.
You, as an American, can take pride in
what you have done. You have shown the
Axis that Americans on the home front,
like Americans on the battle front, will do
all that is required of them — and more.
But our need is great. Dig as deeply as
you possibly can and invest it in War
Bonds now — either through the Payroll
Savings Plan or through special purchases.
Don’t wait for “drives.”
We must win this war with bayonets —
and with dollars. We who stay home in
safety must provide the dollars — all that
are needed. It is the very least we can do.
