Mr. Carl Goerch
Chairman Of
The Committee
To Create A Worthwhile Fund
To Erect Monument To
Will Rogers
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 6 ? A campaign
for funds to help create a worthwhile
memorial for Will Rogers will get
under way throughout the nation this
ireek and North Carolina expects to
cooperate to the fullest extent, ac
cording to Carl Goerch, of Raleigh,
who has been appointed state chair
man of the Will Rogers Memorial
Commission. Mrs. J. M. Hobgood, of
Farmville, has been appointed chair
man of the Woman's Division, and
Governor Ehringhaus is honorary
chairman.
In outlining plans for the drive in
North Carolina, Mr. Goerch said to
day that he plans to enlist the co
operation of the various newspapers
throughout North Carolina. In view
of the fact that Will Rogers was so
closely allied to the newspaper fra
ternity, Mr. Goerch said that it was
both fitting and proper that the mem
bers of that profession should takb
the lead in this matter.
Local chairmen are being appoint
ed and their names will be an
nounced within a few days. Practically
every bank in the state has express
ed a willingness to serve as a depos
itory for the Will Rogers Memorial
Fund. Wholehearted cooperation on
the part of the public generally is
expected.
Will Rogers had hundreds of Inti
mate friends in North Carolina and
visited this state on numbers of oc
casions. Many thousands who never
saw him were acquainted with him
through his writings in over fifteen
different newspapers in the state.
There is no question but that the
response for a memorial fund will be
liberal.
The Will Rogers Memorial Commis
sion is a national organization of
which Vice-President John N. Gar
ner is chirman. Captain Eddie Rick
enbacker, American War Ace, is in
charge of operations. State organiza
tions have been completed in prac
tically every state in the Union.
"The people of North Carolina from
time to time have been asked to con
tribute to various funds," said Mr.
Goerch today, "but I dont think that
there ever has been a drive which
will meet with more wholehearted
endorsement than this campaign to
raise money for a Will Rogers Mem
orial. He was one of the most love
able characters that this country ever
produced and millions of people were
made happier through his writings
and talks. In view of his popularity
throughout North Carolina, I am
confident that this state is going to
do more than its share.

take him home to glory. We give
thanks to our heavenly Father for
the wonderful way He manifested
himself in our father's life during his
long Illness, he was so patient, kind
and good, he never murmured or
complained of anything during the
whole time of his suffering. We also
thank God for the way he kept our
good mother able to wait on him, so
we try to be resigned to God's will
and not grieve because our loss waa
his gain, as we feel sure that he Is
gone to a better home and is there
awaiting our coming. So we say grieve
not, dear mother, but keep your hand
in God's hand, and some day you will
join him in that beautiful land where
"There's a beautiful home
Where God is the light;
Where no tears ever come
And there Is no night.
No sickness, no sorrow,
No gasping for breath;
"
No pain or discomfort
For there is no deatti.
Such a beautiful place
With God and our kin:
And all of the bloodwashed
Redeemed from all sin.
The beautiful mansions
The bright topless dome;
With golden streets
Make our heavenly home.

Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn,
Saw sunsets glow,
Loved and were loved,
And now we lie
In Flanders fields.
