(Published Every Thursday) CHERRYVILLE, N. C THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 194 n=: No. 14 SB)t Record Victory Campaign On Ail Over The Nation v. moss, Cherryville Township Chairmen Expects To Exceed Quota Named For . This Section, In Quick Order. Starting on Tuesday morning,' the Treasury Department of our Government launches the greatest campaign for Victory dollars in all history. The sum of THIR TEEN ai/LLION DOLLARS is being asked by the war finance committee to help carry-on ’til victory, the most stupendious un dertaking ever carried to the people of America. Chairman Moss, altho both mayor and banker, was named by the state director Clyde R. Hoey to head this gigantic drive. Mr. Moss, regardless all this, is opti mistic in his belief the drive will * ifo-over-the top” in a real pa triotic fashion. “Cherryville,” said Mr. Moss, ”is composed of a war conscious people who know full well the importance of this call for funds. Then, too," he added, “our people know it is nothing more than a loan, .and the best loan a man can possibly make, ’ and added ‘‘that Cherry ville's men, women, boys and girls will become real financial soldiers for our nation and our boys in service.” This Loan, as described by Mr. Moss, is made up of bonds in many different series which should appeal to every person. Pur chases by banks may not be count cd for the Victory Fund. Gov ernment authorities want the peo ple of the United States to sub scribe the great loan. No count will begin of sales until April 11. However, the drive is already uh der way and local response is gratifying. The drive will closi on the last duy of April, and th< chairman is confident Cherry ville and Gaston Coufity will havi more than subscribed its share ir the Victory Fund. BUY WAR BOND6 AN! STAMPS.

Assistant State Supervisor ol industrial Education Martin L Rhodes of Lincolnton was the guest speaker for the Carway Club at its regular monthly meet ing held on Monday night at the Howell Club House. A savory fish supper was served the mem bers of the club, after which sev eral matters of business were dis cussed.. President L. E. Rudisill stressed the fact that all employ ees should have a Victory gul den this year. The mills have had alt available tracts of land plow ed and made ready for tending and the peoples of the various communities are urged to avuil themselves of the importunity of turning to farming even if it is on a small scale. Mr. Rhodes, who is Director of the Textile School on the Wilkin son Boulevard near Belmont, made a most interesting talk to the members in telling them of the purpose, plans and equip1 ment of the new textile school. Complete courses in carding, spinning, weaving, and twisting will be offered and also a com plete course in mill maintenance. This latter course will embrace general courses in electricity, plumbing, welding, and machin ery. The machieiiry division of the school will be opened the 19th of this month, but Mr, Rhodes pointed out that the work which will be offered for the next few months will be for workers who are desirous of training themselves for work in war indutries. The regular school will begin operation about the first of September. In answer ing several questions pertaining to the school, Director Rhodes explained that the school was op en to all persons from IB years of age on up and further ex plained that the courses would be offered in units so that a per son could take only the instruc tion that he wanted. The school, which has complete equipment for the courses to be offered, will give workers the opportunity of learning more about their jobs free of charge. Courses will be offered at such times that work 011 any shift may attend. ie “Evening Star Quintet’, i lored group, entertained the “ ,bers with several selections negro spiritual songs.
