NORTH CAROLINA "OVER THE TOP"
IN WAR SAVINGS STAMPS JUNE 28

Day. Governor Bickett Designates June 23-28 Wsr Sav

W. S. S. TAKE THE BOYS "OVER THE TOP"
The next big campaign that must be put over with the same success that
met the recent Red Cross and Liberty Loan drives is the War Savings Cam
paign. This must be done, President Wilson says, on or before Friday, June
28. He has proclaimed that day National War Savings Day and has called
on every man, woman and child to subscribe all that in his honest opinion he
will be able to pay during the remainder of the year to the War Savings Cam
paign. When Mr. Vanderlip and his associates decided' over a month ago that
the War Savings Campaign should be made to go "over the top" now, instead
of taking a year and a month to do it, they sought a plan by which this could
be done. The State of Nebraska furnished the plan, for this state had already
subscribed several millions dollars over its quota and had raisd over 50 per
cent of its sales.
Mr. Vanderlip at once set about to know how Nebraska did it. He called
iato conference Mr. Ward M. Burgess, State Director of War Savings for
Nebraska, and Mr. Kiddow, Mr. Burgess's right-hand man. Together they
studied the plan in the light of a national plan, and with the experience of the
two men who had worked it to a successful issue, they obviated mistakes and
such features as to make it even more thorough and practiceable for other
States. Consequently, not only North Carolina but other states of the Union
have been asked to adopt this plan and put over the War Savinsg Campaign
June 28.
When Ool. F. H. Fries, War Savings Director of North Carolina, was
called to New York several weeks ago, with other state directors, to have
this plan put before them, he was asked if North Carfolina could do it. "Sure,"
said Colonel Fries, "what Nebraska can do, North Carolina can do. We'll put
It over if it takes all the bunting and the flags and the drums in the whole
South to do it."
With this conviction and determination, Colonel Fries came back and set
about to perfecting the plans to make them most suitable to North Carolina
conditions. These plans have been presented through conferences held at
convenient places in the state to the county chairmen and other War Savings
Workers. Every county chairman has in his hands a detailed copy of the
plans, and he has been advised to follow the instructions step by step as given
him to avoid confusion and to do the work with the greatest possible ease
and efficiency.
Only one important change in the national plan did Colonel Fries think
best to make for North Carolina. That was to make the campaign last a
week instead of a day. Therefore, the week beginning June 23 continuing
through June 28 has been designated as North Carolina War Savings Week.
The Governor of North Carolina has issued a proclamation calling for every
citizen of the state to observe this week as War Savings Week by subscrib
ing at this time all that he. will be able to buy during the remainder of the
year.
The week begins on Sunday, June 23, with a state-wide appeal for War
Savings in the churches and Sunday Schools. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday, a house-to-house canvass will be made in every township in
the State to secure War Savings pledges. Every taxpayer or householder will
make his pledge or give his excuse for not doing so. A record of every per
son's pledge will be taken and kept. On Friday, June 28, the drive will cul
minate in a War Savings rally held at every school house in the state. The
State Director has called on every person in the school district to attend this
meeting either to celebrate the occasion of the township's subscribing its
?uota or if that be not the case, to finish raising its quota. In other words,
there is but one thing for any township to do on that day, and that is to sub
scribe its quota to the War Savings Campaign. Likewise, there is but one
thing for every person to do, and that is to do his duty to the "War Savings
Campaign, which is his utmost. The Government expects no leas of every
man, woman and child in the state on this occasion.
A YOUNG BRIXTON'S PRAYER
The following poem delivered in
Chicago the other day show how war
in spite of all of its horrors breeds a
spirit of self-sacrifice and unselfish
ness. We find this young Briton in
a time when he seriously needed helps
calling on God to help his comrades:
He prayed,
There where he lay,
Blood-sodden and unkempt,
As never in his young carelessness
he'd dreamt
That he could pray.
He prayed;
Not that the pain should cease,
Nor yet for water in the parching
heat.

He prayed ;
Cast helpless on the bloody sod;
"Don't trouble now, O God, for me
But keep the boys. Go forward with
them, God!
O speed thte Camerons to victory!"
The kilts flashed on: "Well played,"
he sighed, "Well played."
Just so he prayed.

W. S. S. CAMPAIGN
TWELVE TOWNSHIPS EACH
TO BE ORGANIZED SOON
lownship Chairmen Looking At'
ter Details To Make May 23
to 28 A Result Producing War
Sa vji-s Period
Unc-le Sam has two financial legs
upon which to march to Berlin. One
is the Liberty Loan: ch, how strong
that is, assuring ruch healthy strides;
tho other is tho War Savings plan:
the leg which is inclined to drag a
bit.
To help Uncle's war anatomy, the
State is to make June 23-28 a War
Savings period. Every individual of
any means v hatsoever is to be asked
to lo his all to strengthen the- Giant
of Finance, which is the backbone of
patriotism.
The County organization for this
drive has been perfected by Chairman
Graham, and the township chairmen
are to organize their working com
mittees from June 10-15th. In order
to assure success in this campaign,
each township chairman is to keep in
close touch with his patriot co-workers
and the township chairmen in touch
with the situation over the County.
As first step in this work, every
i taxpayer in Warren has been listed;
their taxable property given the town
ship chairmen. Everyone will be ask
ed to pledge as much as possible to
'ji:cme across" with as noble a spirit
as our boys "went across."
After completion of the organization
in each township by local chairman
who appoints canvassers, the workers
cf the entire county are to be prese t
here for a conference on June 22nd.
On Sunday following, War Savings
sermons will be preached all over the
State. Then on Tuesday, June 25th,
starts the house to house canvass tc
secure pledges.
In this war Savings plan, school
house meetings are to be held, at -
tended by everyone of each community
wherein speaking appointments are
made. Every means is to be employ
ed by the best speaking talent of the
County and of two speakers of State
note, by the newspapers and by the
patriotic people generally to arouse
our people to their opportunity to
invest and of their duty to save.
As first step in this plan was the
postmaster's conference held June 3rd;
the second was the township chair
men's meeting held Saturday. The
following gentlemen have been select
ed to actively urge this work:
Fishing Creek Matthew Duke
Fork R. E. Williams
