Raleigh.-'"The needs of many OF the
orphan institutions Of the State were
never so urgent as they are today and
the necessity of making our appeal
more direct and to wider circulation
q. this year has been created by these
abnormal conditions"
This is the statement OF the North
Carolina Orphan Association is max
ing in it's appeal to the men and WON
en- of North Carolina to contribute, on
or near Thanksgiving Day, at least
one days income to the orphanage OF
his or her choice. The appeal has
been delayed purposely, this year, SO
that it would not run counter to the
Liberty Loan campaign.
The publicity committee is compos
ed of M. L. Shipman, James r. Young,
John D. Berry, A. S. Barnes and Liv'
ingston Johnson.
"The needs of such CALL" says a
statement being mailed out by the
publicity committee was never more
urgent than now. Expense necessary
to the maintenance Of every orphan
home in the State has increased, while
the responsibilities have multiplied
So, let not the day pass without max
ing thank-Offering to your Master,
by denying yourself some pleasure,
some luxury, even some necessity, to
help the helpless become what their
God and your God intended they
should attain in this life and in the life
to come.
This is a reasonable request, for
any one can share with the orphans
the earnings of one day out of three
hundred and sixty-five. It is practica
BILE, for rich and poor alike can par
ticipate in it. The business and pro-
fessional man, the farmer, the land
lord, the money-lender. the wage earn
er, the salaried worker, the housewife
the news and messenger boys-every
body. old and young, OF all creeds and
classes, may unite in beautiful cooper
alton for the support of a needed civic
and Christian philanthropy. Let North
Carolina make the approaching
Thanksgiving a day of historic impor
lance; a day on which the hearts OF
the people were opened to the little
ones whom our splendid orphan homes
are endeavoring to save from degener
acy and oblivion.
"To this end we call upon the edf
tors Of our papers, daily and weekly
secular and religious, to give the wild.
est possible publicity to this move
ment, which is philanthropic in pur.
pose and Statewide in extent; we call
upon all church leaders Of all denomi.
nations, including pastors. Sunday
school superintendent, women work.
ers, and others of influence, to urge
the giving OF days income to some
one of our orphanages; we call upon
the officers Of the various fraternal
orders to bring thia appeal to the at
ship and enlist his support of this
modest Offering; we respectfully re-
quest all superintendent and teachers
of secular schools, colleges and uni
versities to induce their students and
friends to unite with them in giving a
days work or wages to the needy or.
phans of North Carolina. We invoke
the cooperation OF doctors, merchants.
public officials, and all others with 10
cal following to pass the word along,
with the Divine Injunction: Even so,
it is not the will Of your Father which
Is in Heaven that one of these little
ones shall perish Actions speak
louder than words"
