There are many such people in this world today who have either been through the guns of a war or th economic devastation which havs caused them to be going through this winter with inadequate clothing, food, fuel, and other necessities. These people are dying because ot these inadequacies. It is the pur pose of this drive to save some of their lives. Another thing all who give something to this drive will ac complish is that of making them selves able to think that perhaps someone who would have died didn't because of the old clothes they save. It will keep these people from thinking that perhaps someone died because they didn't give to the drive. The clothing will be collected in R.icford at the Baueom Appliance company next door to the Raeford theatre and will be packaged and shipped from there. The final date for getting clo'hes in will be Thurs day, January 24.

The same procedure should be followed to replace lost or muti lated books, Johnson said. A lot of people, he added, thought tvit new books were being Issued to all persons. This is not true.
