Along The Way
. By EmilyKlllmHt f
Looking back through the old
issues of THE DUPLIN TIMES, one
name repeated shows up year after
year ? the American Red Cross.
Often organizations like the Red
Cross are taken for granted, but in
Duplin during 1941 citizens were
very active in the Red Cross cam
paign for memberships. Duplin had
been assigned a quota of 2,100
memberships as a goal for the
November 1941 Red Cross Roll Call
Campaign. Representatives were
named for each Duplin community
and within each county school. Home
demonstration clubs were also active
in the Red Cross membership drive.
Selected as chairman of the Roll
Call membership drive was Kenans
ville's mayor J.E. Jerritt and serving
with him as officers were Sudie P.
Miller and O.P. Johnson. Serving
within the communities of Duplin
were Mrs. C.B. Guthrie of Kenans
ville, J.C. Thompson of Warsaw,
Mrs. T.H. Latham of Faison. Mrs.
Adrian Dail of Calypso, Archie
Williams of Bowden. Sam Pope of
Magnolia, Mrs. L.W. Williams of
Rose Hill, Mrs. Nell Forlaw of
Teachey, Elizabeth Smith of
Wallace, Mrs. J.L. Quinn of Chin
quapin, Dorothy Lanier of Lyman,
Mrs. M.M. Thigpen of Beulaville,
Mrs. Ben Grady of Sarecta. E.D.
Edgerton of B.F. Gradv. Mrs. Ralph
Kornegay of Wesley Chapel and
Mrs. J.K. Bryan Jr. of Pearsall's
Chapel.
Before Duplin had time to com
plete the membership drive for Red
Cross, the bombing of Pearl Harbor
took place and the United States
stepped into World War II. With the
announcement from President
Roosevelt that the United States was
at war the Red Cross began an
emergency frund drive and Duplin
was assigned a quota of S4.000.
The war and civilian emergency
fund drive was launched locally
I during a mass meeting held in the
? Duplin County courthouse on
- "December 19. The meeting was
" -planned by the officials of the Duplin
. Red Cross and the Duplin Defense
; Council. Serving as officers of the
* county Defense Council were Robert
I C. Wells, a Kenansville attorney, as
; chairman, and Duplin County

auditor Faison McGowen as secre
tary. Inez Boney, the Duplin welfare
jfficer, was executive secretary of
the Duplin Red Cross.
Appointed to lead the emergency
Fund drive was Chairman of Duplin
County Commissioners John R.
Croom of Magnolia. Even through
Duplin had been assigned a quota of
$4,000 officials set their goal at
$5,000. A provision of the emergency
fund drive allowed 15 percent of the i
money raised within the counties or i
cities to remain for local aid. If |
Duplin raised its quota of $4,000 the 1
county would be allowed to use $600
for local aid. Neighborning counties
were also assigned goals for their i
participation in the fund drive. I
Wayne County was assigned a quota 1
of $10,000 and Lenoir $7,500. The 1
national goal was $50,000,000.
While the American Red Cross
travels the entire world offering aid i
to disaster struck victims of war or I
weather, the organization had stood
strong many years. In Duplin, the f*
Red Cross has always been active
raising funds which were always
used to aid victims in some other
part of the nation or world. Within
the last several weeks, Duplin.
Wayne, Lenoir and Sampson couties '
have received payment in full for all
the monies and time their citizens
have donated to the Red Cross since
the organization began. The Red
Cross has been one of many organi
sations providing much needed
assistance to victims of the March 30
tornadoes which struck North Caro
lina and South Carolina. ??
