W. TAYLOR JR. Roll Call Chairman The annual Red Cross Roll Call drive takes place in a little over a week, starting on Nov. 11; Armistice Day, and lasting until Nov. 30. Naturally when a movement of this I importance occurs, tnere is mucn argument both for and against it. i Many who have been loyal contributors in the past say that they are I opposed to the Red Cross this year because in many instances food [and clothing have been unwisely distributed in this and other coun! ties during the past year; that many who were not actually in need profited by this generosity. Perhaps in some cases this was true, that some unworthy persons did share in the food and clothing that were turned loose in this part of the country. However, those who put up an argument of this nature overlook the fact that for .every person not in need who received articles given away by the Red Cross, at least ten persons in dire necessity also received food and clothing. It is absolutely impossible to use the wisdom of a Solomon in affairs of this nature. Mistakes will naturally occur whenever it is necessary for human beings to exercise judgment. However, the mistakes, if any, were far more than offset by the good that was done. Many who were aided would have gone without clothes, would have starved to death, but for the Red Cross. It is far better that ten unworthy ones should De benefited than that one who is actually in want should suffer. The food and clothing that was given away was furnished by the Federal Government. When the Government first decided to enter this wholesale relief work, those in charge of the project figured that it would cost the Government $10,000,000 to set up distributive bases all over the nation. They realized that this was a larger burden_than_ the taxpayers would be willing to carry. They therefore appealed to the Red Cross to take charge of the work of distributing the supplies to the needy of the country.

Nearly 200,000 Quarts Of Food Canned In Warren One hundred and seventy-eight thousand and eighty-six quarts of food were canned in Warren county for relief families, it was learned yesterday from Jesse Gardner, chairman of the relief organization in this county. In addition, Mr. Gardner pointed out, 41,169 pounds of fruit were dried, and 1,113 quarts were canned by the Wise Training School. In giving out this information, Mr. Gardner stated that it hardly was possible to put a value on the instruction and assistance given the more than two thousand families in Warren county. "This constructive work should - prove of value in the years to come as well as the present time," he said. In addition to the thousands of quarts of food that are available for future use, the gardens which were made available in this county through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation gave the needy families of Warren vegetables during the spring and summer months. In each township there were representatives of the relief organization to give assistance in canning, but the actual work of preserving the food was done by the producers, it is understood. "The canning susupervisors," Mr. Gardner said, "did some great work in this county and it is to them that special credit is due for putting the program over." A list of them follows: Mrs. W. A. Connell, Mrs. H. Evans Coleman, Mrs. W. F. Mustian, Mrs. Alice Rooker, Miss Eleanor Capps, Mrs. Simon Gardner, Mrs. Willis Neal, Miss Miriam Best, Mrs. Sam D. King, Mrs. S. R. Jones, Mrs. J. P.

Taylor in Recorder's court on Monday morning. A plea of guilty was entered in each case.

"No, I can tell by the way they hold their heads," he assured and then drove off some distance to borrow a gun. "Coming back to the scene, he found the turkeys and fired.

Two questions are to be determined. One of these Is whether or not a convention shall be held. The other Is whether a repeal or antirepeal delegate shall be sent to the convention in the event that It Is held. Two ballots will be used. One will bear the wording, "Convention" and "No Convention." The other ballot will contain the names of C. R. Rodwell and W. T. Polk. Voters desiring to vote for repealwill place a cross mark opposite Mr. Polk's name; those voting against repeal, will place a cross mark opposite Mr. Rodwell's name. The listlessness of the campaign, and the lack of vocal expression on the part of citizens has made the job of prognosticator rather difficult and just how the county will go can not be determined until all the votes are in. Returns will be received from over the county at the office of The Warren Record on Tuesday night as soon as results are tabulated. Interested citizens are invited to come to this office for information. Thirty-three states have already voted on the repeal question, all of them voting repeal. Six others will vote on next Tuesday.
