NOELL, EDITOR County And City May Fall For First Time From High Standard. Conviction that Roxboro and Per son County, which have never in this war period failed to over-sub scribc to war-sponsored causes, can not now afford to fail to reach the $10,050 quota of the United Com munity War fund, was voiced here ! this morning by ti,u co-ciiairmen for the War Fund, J. A. Long, Jr., and Jerry L. Hester, who said this morn ing that $805.51 remains to be se cured before the goal can be reach ed. "Only eight pcrceiv of the goal remains to be reached", said Mr Long, who added that “failure to reach the goal which has been met only by 92 percent, will result in a five percent reduction in the total allocated to that portion of the fund reserved for the Person Boy Scout district, only local agency sharing directly in the fund.” "Final efforts are ue.ng made to reach the complete goal", asserted Mr. Long, who said further that “many people have not yet contri buted to this cause”. Contained in! his statement was a vigorous appeal for such non-contributors to dig down in their pockets and to realize that service men overseas and in! this country will still vitally need the services of the USO. Part of the funds collected are also used to take j care of sick and starving civilians in areas of Europe and China. Formal and organized effort to i reach the goal here through solicit- I ors Ls at an end, said Mr. Long, but j contributions will be gladly and thankfully received for the Fund at j Peoples Bank, at the Courier-Times! ! office and at the Chamber of Com- j merce. All additional contributions | will be duly credited and it is hoped: j that numbers of contributors who , nave already made gifts to the fund" j will see fit to make additional con- j j tributions in an effort to see that i 1 the standard of oversubscribing all quotas here will not at the last mo- ! ment go into discard. Plan Exhibition j Os Famous Art i • Benefit Project Will Be Soon-; sored By Bible Department, j Classical and modern artists will be represented in an exhibition of | i copies of paintings to be shown I ! here next week at Roxboro high : ! school and at Ca-Vei and Long- j hurst schools under auspices of the Bible Department, of Roxboro high school, it was announced today by Fred Bishop, instructor in Bible in the sponsoring department, who says that modest fees will be charged.
