Swift Creek went 35 per cent above her quota. Greenville had already gone over. Some,jof the rural sections had planned to finish the, canvass last Sunday and the rain interfered. On this account the time has been extend ed one week for the benefit of the townships that could not finish the canvass. - When this Is finished Pitt will have made another record of whleh we will all be proud.

Miss Congleton Visits Hospitals of Government Only a few days ago I visited the government hospitals . at Oteen and Kenilworth. At Oteen there are now around fifteen hundred soldiers and at Kenilworth there are around for huudred soldiers and over a hundred oversea nurses. I was fortunate enough to go with Mrs. N. Buckner, general secretary of the Baraca-Phil-athea association association of our State, who has a pass to the hospi tals and who is well known by these men, and they love so much to have her visit them, which she does quite often. It is a beautiful, sight to see how their faces brightened when we went through the wards and left with them scrap books, candy, cakes and flowers. As we went from bed to bed and left the scrap books, clippings, etc., they took them eagerly and seemed so thank ful for them. Of course- it does not take long to pass these about through the ward, and soon every one has been read and they are ready for something new again. This is such a splendid opportunity for our people to bring a bit of sunshine into the lives of these men. They are so eager for something to read. While In the "Y" hut at Ken ilworth, Mrs. Axford toild me that right at this timethere were so much in need of new magazines for these men and also for these oversea nurses who have recently been - brought to them. Only that morning there came a call to the JY" hut from one of the men begging for something new to read, and they had no new magazines on hand. I promised her in the name of the Philatheas of our town, that as soon as I got back home, I would get together some magazines and send to her. She said they hated so bad not. to be able to keep them supplied with! something new, and seemed so glad! when, I promised to help her out. She said' she knew what to expect when she had a promise from a Fhilathea. Those whoTwould like to contribute a magazine to this cause and brighten up fL few lonely hours for our boys and nurses, I -shall be glad to have them send same to me either at the Flan agftn Buggy Co., office or at my home, Boy Scout Week to be Observed June 8th to 14th President Wilson has designated June 8 to 14 as Boy Scout Week, vice nreKfrient of the Penrjle'a National hank been named chairman for North Carotlna.
