Par- AN OPEN LETTER TO TI?2 PEOPLE OF DUPLIN ;; COUNTY As chairman of the 1943 War Fund Drive of the American Red Cross for Duplin. County. I want ; to express the appreciation of the Duplin County Chapter of the American Red Cross for the gen : erous and patriotic response from the people of our County to the ap peal of the American Red Cross s , The Greatest Mother In the World. The response was as generous as ' it was wholehearted. Our people ; have given of their means ano their time and talents, tnoi m mention gas and rubber) - i ' t All renorta coming In from the fourteen district chairmen note the fact that our people were not merely willing to give but anxious to do so. At this writing, March 20, we know that the people, of ., Duplin County have exceeded the f goal of $7,000 by considerably ov-; . er $1000. Final and detailed r" r port of the drive, showing contrl butions of the individual district, k will be ready tor puduwuw March 31. The success of the drive was possible because of the generosity and cooperation of the 14 District rhnirmen and their many co- workers; the schools of the Coun ty; their principals and teachers; and above all Decause uw fcv of Duplin County, white and col- ored, gave with sacra ice aim w votion. The Drive Committee of the Co- -unty Chapter sought to have ey- ... ery family and individual in the county called on and given a per-v sonal invitation to contribute. One can hardly expect 100 per. cent success in such an aim for a . rural county. Therefore If any family or individual have not been personally seen we hope they will feel moved to mail their contribu tion to Mr O. P. Johnson, Treas- s. urer, KenaPayille. . , The' Drjve Committee .feels It un. k mn Tinnor and a ioy to r aarv Jtrii9 effort hd Is proud of the record heinff set by the people ot Duplin County. - ?
