Flood Fund Here $Bl4, Exceeding Doubled Quota
Spontaneous Outpouring
Os Funds For Relief Is
Greatest Since Wartime
✓ ——-
Stream of Donations Almos t Swamps Red Cross Offi
cials; Money Is Given A1 most Without Any Active
Solicitation Being C arried On Anywhere
With probably the most generous outpouring of funds for a
disaster at any time since the days of the World War, Hender
son this afternoon far over-subscribed its doubled quota of money
for the American Red Cross flood relief work in the Ohio and
Mississippi valley regions, with reported cash contributions of
$884.34. More money was being received hourly by the several
agencies serving in the capacity of handling the funds, and it ap
peared certain that the total would go probably beyond the SI,OOO
figure tomorrow, and possibly even today.
And the response that has come has -
been alino-t entirely spontaneous. The
double quota was more than realized
even h ;fore the local campaign could <
be organized and gotten under way. .
Indeed, no active canvass has been at , ’
all. The magnitude and the serious
ness of 600,000 persons homeless in j ;
what has been described as the . ;
greatest flood disaster in American | ;
history so impressed itself upon the | i
people that they have given ;
out of a heartfelt desire to render ,
some service, however small.
Mr:. Henry T. Morris, chairman of j
the Henderson chapter of the Red \
Cross, was asked in a telegram from <
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, in Wash- (
ington, chairman of the national Red ! ,
Cross, for a quota of S4OO. Today j
another telegram came asking for ;
double that amount, or SBOO. The
doubled quota was over-subscribed j
simultaneously with receipt of the ;
telegram asking for the increased con- I
tribution.
Mrs. Morris said she had never seen
people so willing to help in a real way.
She had been literally swamped with
cash donations, she said.
The same was virtually true as to
Roy O. Rodwell, treasurer of the local
chapter. At the Daily Dispatch, which
is also serving as a receiving station
for donations, there was a stream of
contributions during the morning and
on into the afternoon. All funds re
ceived were turned into the proper
channels.
Mrs. Morris said that those desir
ing to give after office hours of those
named could leave their contributions
at Woolard’s drug store. Coin boxes
have been placed in several other
drug stores also for the convenience
of those desiring to help.
The local chairman made it plain ’
that the magnitude of the disaster!
was growing 1 oirly, and that the
fa‘t that the quota had been over
sunscr:bcd did not mean that addi
tional funds vi ere not needed. It is
possible that a still further call may j
come from Red Cross headquarters!
in Washington.
The newest appeal from Admiral
Grayson came to Mrs. Morris today
as follows
‘•Because relief needs in flooded
areas of Ohio and Mississippi valleys,
increasing every hour as continuer!
rains send rivers to highest levels
in history, with more than four hun
dred thousand persons driven from
homes, urge you double your relief
fund quota and go as far beyond the
doubled figure as possible. We are
contributing million dollars from na
tional funds. Three hundred Red
Cross relief workers now in disaster
area; giving dm me iVite emergency
relief to flood refuges. Three hun
dred fifty Red Cross nurses in fieli
engaged in battle against feared epi
domic. Food, c'o'hing, bedding, modi
cal supplies being rushed by train,
truck and oat. Rescue work con
tinues at top speed. Please inten ify
your campaign efforts and keep m'
advised daily of amount raised. Fee'
confident your people will not fail in
this great national emergency.”

VANCE COUNTY VET
i ■
A. P. Paschall Duly Elected
But Has Not Posted
Bond or Taken Oath
Vance county appeared today to he
without a coroner and to have been
without one since early in December
when all county officers chosen dur
ing the November general election
were to take their oaths.
A. P. Paschall was elected coroner
in November, after winning the Dem
ocratic nomination the run-off pri
mary last July 4, but as far as was
learned today, he has never qualified
for the post.
County Attorney B. H. Perry was
questioned concerning the matter, and
he stated that he had never approved
a bond for Mr. Paschall, and that one
had not been presented him for his
approval. The coroner must furnish
a bond, and this must he passed on
by the board of County Commission
ers. The commissioners usually refer
bonds to Mr. Ferry.
Chairman S. M. Watkins, of the
board, stated that as far as he knew,

E. O. Falkner, clerk of ,Sun Pr '
Court, said that ibond for Mr. p a . , lfir
had not been filed in his
that he had not given Mr. p a L? nd
his oath of office.
Although dulty elected, it ap , )p
today that Mr. Paschall P with
lauthority to act as coroner „f j? 1
county, pending the posting 0 f T
'bond and the taking of the oath
office. ' o!
He has investigated one case, th
death of a small Negro child in M o |q
section since his election to the
but no jury was empanelled, the death
being termed accidental from
gun wounds in the legs.
An apparent truth which few
pie ever learn is that there it, no fv
in frowning.
