COMMUNITY TAKES
FULL BOND QUOTA
The community has again dem
oostrated in a practical way its
patriotism by subscribing its
full quota of the Second Liberty
Loan Bonds. The subscription
was underwritten by the Rose
paary Banking & Trust Company
and the First National Bank of
Roanoke Rapids. Large blocks
of the bonds will be taken by
the various manufacturing plants
and a strong campaign is being
launched to get the bonds in the
stands of small investors and
Hce earners. Plans are beine
worked out by both banks enab
ling bonds to be bought without
any margin at all and paid tor at
rates of $l.uu per week and up,
The new Don as bear vu, are
non-taxable, absolutely safe, and
beyond doubt the plan outlined
is the best thing in the world
for the man, or child," who wishes
to lay aside a little money for a
rainy day. The bonds themsel
ves are practically cash, striking
ly demonstrated by the fact that
with one exception all of the
larger merchants have agreed to
takethe bonds at face value, plus
accrued interest, on either pur
chases or accounts.

Rev. Duncan reviewed the
Ufa of Christ as his text and
delivered a beautiful and im-
Dressive sermon, using the
twelve Scout Laws with con
facing force.

No Deaths this Year, Only One

county over 40 percent of the

know that vaccination
does prevent typhoid, and they
are eairer to take the treatment
a second time.
Not a single death from typhoid
has occurred in th? county this
year, and only one occurred last
year, says Dr. Register. Only
three cases have been reported
;to him since August when the
new State quarantine law went
into effect Dr. Register believes
the county has typhoid under
control and that the people are
going to keep it under control.
MR. DUNN URGES
FOOD CONSERVATION
To the People of Halifax County.
It is with confidence of your
earnest co-operation that I appeal
to you to do your "bit" in the! omitted next Sunday as the
great campaign for food conser- rector is to preach the consecra
vation. This campaign begins on tion sermon at Holy Trinity
Saturday, October 27th and ends Church, Townsville, N. C.
on Saturday, November 3rd, dur
ing which tirrfe it is desired that
every housewife in Halifax Coun
ty, by signing one of the Pledge
Cards, agree to eliminate waste
in her home in so far as it is pos
sible for her to do so. The cam
paign is nation-wide in its scope
and every man, woman, and child
in the United States is asked to
take part. There are no dues to
be collected, no force is to be in
voked to require you to conserve
your food resources. It is a sim
ple appeal to your patriotism; it
is a simple request of your Gov
ernment for care, thought econ
omy in consumption of food and
elimination of food waste. The
exigencies of war demand this
much; the people of the country!
could hardly tie called upon to do
less. Then, too, it is an appeal to
our self-interest If we are wast
ing ten per cent of our food in
our home, and we can reduce
this waste to' five per cent we
are the gainers by just that much.
It may be just a little that you
can save teaspoonfuls, slices,
scraps, and yet it is this multi
plication of such minute quanti
ties as these by 110,000,000 peo
ple and by 3G5 days that will
save the world.
Committees have been appoint
ed and are actively at work in
every town and school district in
the County. If the Committee has
not called upon you, will you
not call upon the Committee and
lend your aid in this great move
ment? Are you not willing to deny
yourself something? Can you not
save some waste? Is not your
life and freedom worth this ser
vice? Are you not willing to do
this much for your soldiers
"somewhere in France?"
Respectfully,
Raymond C Dunn,
Food Administrator
for Halifax County.

ANNUAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL RALLY
Parade of Alt Schools Last
Saiiday to Aaditorium at
Central Sckools
ADDRESS BY REV. ISAAC W. HUGHES
The annual Sunday School
Rally Day of the Sunday Schools
of the community was held on
last Sunday, the congregations
of the various schools turning
out in a body and forming a giant
parade down Roanoke Avenue to
the Auditorium of the Central
School Building.
The address of the day was
delivered by Rev. Isaac W.
Hughes, Rector of the Church of
the Holy Innocents, of Hender
son, N. C. Mr. Hughes is a bril
liant strong, and forceful
speaker and his address was heard
with rapt attention. Jt is proba
bly not going too far to say that
it was one of the most profound
ly inspiring religious addresses
ever delivered in this community.
The Sunday School Rally Day
seems drstined to become a per
manent feature of the religious
life of the community. For three
years it has been observed with
marked success, its stimulating
influence upon Sunday School
work in general being invaluable.
About one thousand people par
ticipated in the rally on last
Sunday.
LARGER Pf ST0FFICE
QUARTERS PROBABLE
In all probability the Roanoke
Rapids postoffice will be given
larger quarters in the next few
months. This prediction is based
on the action of Inspector Mur
ray, who visited Roanoke Rapids
this week, and after a confer
ence with Postmaster Faison,
issued an advertisement for bids
on furnishing postoffice quarters
of not less than 1,400 square
feet, with equipment specifica
tions supplied by the Depart
ment. The quarters accepted will be
leased for five or ten years and
Tho urgent rmarters are en-
tirely too small for the efficient
conduct of the postollice business
here and the cubby-hole doing
business at present under the
dignified name of "lobby" is
hopelessly inadequate. The pros
pect .or larger quarters is there
fore gratifying not only to the
posti.ifice employees but the pab
lic at large.
