STOKES TO HELP I
THE FINNS I
Organization Appointed To |
Raise Voluntary
Relief Fund I
The American people are asked to
raise $5 000,000 as a free gift to the Fin
nish people who are suffering- and dying
in the bravest fight ever put up by any
nation in history—trying to save their
little country from the grasp of brutal
Russia, which is 50 times as big as Fin
land.
Ex-President Herbert Hoover is na
tional chairman of the campaign, and
North Carolina's assessment is $50,000.
Ex-Gov. Ehringhaus is chairman for
North Carolina.
Stokes county's proportionate part of
this assessment is $60.00.
It is only a free will gift to the suffer
ing little nation, that has been Ameri
ca's friend, being the only one of the
World War countries to pay us their war
debt. Even in the terrible stress of war
against Russia they have met their pay
ment.
I have been appointed chairman of the
Stokes county Finnish relief campaign
by Gov. Ehringhaus, and who is now in
New York conferring with Mr. Hoover. I
The following organization by town
ships has been made for Stokes with
each township's assessed quota, as fol
lows:
Yadkin—Mrs. J. F. Brown, of King—
s9.oo.
Meadows—Mrs. Travis Tuttle- of Wal
nut Cove, Route 1 —56.00.
Beaver Island—Mr. Louis Blackwell,
of Pine Hall—s6.oo.
Quaker Gap—Mr. P. O. Fry, of Pin
nacle, Route 2—55.00.
Big Creek—Mr. Graham France, of
Francisco—s6.oo.
Sauratown—Mrs. Leake Lovin, of Wal

Peter's Creek—Mrs. E. G. Lawson> of

It is sincerely hoped each individual
will accept the obligation, and perform
the labor of admiration and affection j§
for the Finns, who are our friends and 9
are now in great need of food and other P
supplies.
I • See your school people—the splendid I
people who are running the schools will |
hold parties or entertainments, and put
your quota easily over the top. Or make §1
a personal canvass. Everybody will
give something.
When your quota is filled make out
check for the amount payable to the
Stokes Fund For Relief of the Finnish
People, and mail to J. Watt Tuttle, Dan

■ to Gov. Ehringhaus at Raleigh- and who

HANGING ROCK
PARK MATTER
EDITORIALS IN WINSTON
JOURNAL AND GREENS
BORO RECORD SHOW CON
CERN OVER DANGER TO
STOKES.
The news that Stokes county is
liable to lose its vaiueu as-C;
the Hanging Rock park—excites
interest outside of the county, j
The Winston Journal and the'
Greensboro News each give ed-'
itorials in regard to the danger.
I The Winston - Salem Journal 1
says:
"At Hanging Rock Stokes
county has what is potentially the'
finest State Park in North Caro
lina. But, according to the su
perintendent of State parks, this
great recreational center may not
be opened because of failure to
obtain the necessary land. I
"We do not believe Stokes J
county officials and civic leaders
will permit such a tragedy. For
it would be a tragedy, indeed, for
that county if, after all the work
that has been done at Hanging
Rock, this park should not be
operated.
"We are not surprised to find
the Danbury Reporter expressing
the hope that the county authori
ties will "make an effort to real
ize for our county this one of its
moat desirable assets that could
mean and probably will mean ul
timate intensive development of
our mountain regions."
"The flanging Rock develop
ment as it stands at present is u
real challenge to the people of
Stokes. And we are confident
they will meet that challenge by
seeing to it that the necessary
land is provided for the opening
of this new park."
The Greensboro Record has the
following editorial:
"From Raleigh comes news that
a "serious situation" exists in
connection with the Hanging
Rock state park in nearby Stokes
[county, because, T. W. Moore, su
) .
i penntendent of state parks, ex
-1 plains, park officials have been
unable to obtain a certain stri
of land necessary t 0 the opening
of the park area.
"This, the superintendent say 3 1
may mean that the park will not.
be opened to the public, despit.
the extensive work which has al-1
ready been done there. He add.;,
however, that an effort will be
made to have Stokes county con
• tribute the strip of land in ques
tion.
"This section of the state is, or
ought to be, tremendously inter
ested in seeing to it that the de
velopment of the Hanging RocU
park is completed and that it is
opened to the public. The park,
an area of great scenic beauty
and one easily accessible to the
State ' 9 trunk highways, is situa

45 piileß northwest of Greensboro,
