JONES Owner & Contributing Editor Entered at the Post office at War renton, N. C, as second-class matter undsr Act of Congress March 3. 1879. (Continued From First Page) RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP Through the annals of war, the one bright spot, the one evidence of tenderness and appreciation and sym pathy has been the Red Cross; thru the pages of Reconstruction by its forethought, sympathy and unobtru sive aid this same symbol of hope will render an incomparable service And behind it all, is the heart and ul and spirit of united America. The work of the Red Cross is the cul mination of the highest ideals of the world into the gold of Service after passing the test-fires of Sacrifice. This great mother of mothers, asks at . this time for . . universal endorse ment of its pass and universal support of its future in the Christmas Red Cross Roll Call Membership Drive. . The purpose is one of universal mem bership more than one of money. It is to be hoped that every man, woman and child will come to the arms of the universal mother. "All you need is a heart and a dol lar." v W.S.S. UNITED WAR DRIVE It is a source of pleasure to know that Warren has reached its allott ment in the. United War Campaign. Continual work by the organization and the impetus from the public speeches of Mrs. Bickett, Major Gra . ham and others plus individual solici tation is responsible. Unfortunately, the educational cam paign of the drive was short, and the mass did not understand the agencies which had been merged into this Chain of Cheer campaign; influenza prohib ited public meetings, and everywhere farmers were busy housing the crops. The County has a right to feel proud in its success, and to be grate ful to the energetic work of Chm. T. D Peck, Miss Amma D. Graham, J. : Edward Allen, and patriotic men and women whose works place them in prominence in different localities over the County. The detailed work Prof. J. Edward Allen has been particular ly well done as evinced by the state ment found elsewhere. Only time and an enless amount of detail has kept the Treasurer's books in good shape, and the work of Mr. Allen wins the plaudits in this another instance, as always, , W.S.S. WAR SAVING CERTIFICATES Uncle Sam asks the American puo lic to make a change with him he .asks that we "swap" our greenback for a Government Security and for our trouble he pays us four and one quarter percent interest compounded quarterly and keeps taxes away. The United States Government does not ask nor does it expect or even will it take a gift from one of its cit izens, but our government does expect its citizens to uphold its hands when in upholding them the citizen reaps a permanent benefit. The war savings game works to the investor's advantage 100 percent plus. It has no semblance of a gift, but is a rock-bottom investment. It represents changing a greenback, which bears no interest, into a war stamp which pays a dividend larger than any other investment today. The same Government is behind the war stamp that is behind the greenback;' r Warren county citizens are asked to see the situation, and change money for the boys sake into government se curities. Warren must obtain its War Savings quota and all loyal cit izens are : asked to work now to this end. $445,000 paid into Warren in .1923 in addition to the year's market crop will spell happiness and prosperity to many "a home. Invest in , stamps now to s the : utmost! Be happy, be prosperous in 1923;: appreciate and evidence love for the sacrifice of khaki now. sacrificing spirit of high order was evinced by members of the Victory Boys and Girls Organization in appreciation of which the thanks of the organization are extended as they are to the indi vidual donors listed above. We have no word of blame for any worker, no matter how small the donations from his township. Influenza and the sign ing of the armistice, making impossible the proper educational campaign; explain the deficiency fully where the amount is small. These were circumstances that no one could possibly alter. Perhaps it will be wise to explain the method of arriving at each- township's quota. ' At the workers' dinner c6nference on November 6th; the amounts raised by the several townships in the May Red Cross Drive were adopted as a basis ; and then, to make the estimate as published in the Record of November 8th conform to the amount the County was definitely asked to give, the quota of each township was found to be a little more than eighty-five per cent of the figures then published. Hence the odd figures given as the quota for each of the townships. The county has done well by its. fighters, and its generosity will not go unrewarded. Its soldiers and sailors will be safer and happier in the performance of their duties in our behalf; and will come back to us ere long better and cleaner men, on account of this generous gift of nearly ten thousand dollars made to them.
