Thus far the State has succeeded In Its four; Liberty Loans, in Its Red Cross, Y. M.

The record made by the boys at the front has been a com plete success. They have made a perfect score In efficiency, in courage, in patriotism and In whatever else was necessary to win the war and bring peace to the world. TKey have nobly re sponded to every call of their Government, to every demand for justice, to every cry of wronged ami suffering human ity.. Can the people at borne afford to have their record of war activities besmirched with the faihtre of the War Savings Campaign the greatest war ef fort of the year? If the State's fine war record is to be saved. If the makers of history are to chronicle a per fect score as the citizens' re sponse to every war call of the Government then they must make ths War Savings Cam paign a success by December 31. If the State's envious record of the past Is to remain untarnish ed in the future and If Its 'citi zens are to continue to boast wtth prkte of Its accomplish ments In war as well as In peace, the one remaining war effort of the year must be suc cessfully finished. The State must raise Its full War Savings, quota by December 31. " North Carolina has never failed, and will not fail this time. ,W. 2IAIISHALL BRIDGES TO MOVE TO FLORENCE, S. C. "W.

FULL PAY RECOMMENDED FOR COUNTY TEACHERS. 1)1' to educate -all NATURE OF RED CROSS WORK. Washington, Dec. 4. Future plans of the American Red Cress under which the great organization built up during the war will be devoted to peace time relief work, hot only in the Unit ed States but throughout the world were outlined in a" statement issued tonight by Henry P. Davidson, chair man of the war council. Mr. Davidson, who was speaking to the 3,864 chapters and 22,000,000 mem bers of the mercy organization said Lit is confidently believed there need be no further campaigns for funds. Instead the annual Christmas roll call for members will constitute the foun dation of the Red Cross. . ! . The following resolution was passed last , week by the County Beard of Edu cation: Moved and seconded that the County Board of Education recommend to the schoQl committeemen of the local tax districts that -they pay the salaries of their teachers in full for the time lost on account of the influenza epidemic, and that each teacher in the schools make up all the time possible by teach- ing;on Saturday's and "up until Tues day evening before Christmas, and be ginning again December 30th. We recommend further that the county schools continue in session wit' further interruption, if pos sible. il the funds set aside for each school are exhausted, or until such time as the local committee deem wise to close.
