A Successful Campaign
The Cherokee Scout and Clay County Progress
"Campaign of Progress"which closed last Saturday
was, we believe, one of the most successful circu
lation campaigns that has ever been conducted in
this state. It was made so by the hard-working
contestants and by the generous cooperation given
to (hem by the people all over Cherokee, Clay and
Graham Counties.
As a result of this campaign. The Cherokee Scout
and Clay County Progress now have the largest
circulation In the history of any newspaper In this
three county area, and It is paid circulation. Our
paid circulation list now ranks among the leaders
In the non-daily field In the state. The Scout pro
vides complete local trade area coverage reaching
20,000 people weekly.
The Scout wishes to extend Its sincere thanks to
all of the contestants for having worked so hard
throughout the campaign. We regretted that It was not
possible for each and everyone to have won first
prize because of the enthusiasm which they manifested
In their work for this newspaper.
Likewise we wish to extend our thanks to the
people of Cherokee, Clay and Graham Counties who
so generously supported the campaign thus enabling
us to go far beyond the goal which we had set for It.
We also wish to extend our thanks to D. C. Wise,
who managed the campaign, so courteously and ef
ficiently. He proved himself to be tops In his field
and he earned the respect of all the contestants.
He treated this newspaper as if it were his own.
We welcome our new subscribers and trust they
will enjoy The Cherokee Scout and Clay County
Progress. As we have said repeadtedly, our constant
endeavor Is to conduct the paper In the finest tradition
of journalism and to continually adhere to the high
code of ethics to which responsible newspapers
subscribe.

The Bloodmobile will make
Its annual summer visit to

MdCeever, chairman of die
Murphy Blood Program.
As usual blood donors
should report to the Power
Board Building between the
hours of 12:30 and 5:30 p.m.
"Blood Is needed badly,
mostly because the summer
months find many regular
donors on vacation, and as a
consequence, we are urging
every one to make their best
effort to come In and give blood
July 18th, " McKeever said.
During the last "blood
year" there were 304 pints of
blood donated through the
Bloodmobile In Murphy, and
the community should be just
ly proud of this record, but
should attempt to better It
during the coming year. Wed

time to start.
