Captain David H. Fuller, son Of
Mr.. C. NJ Fuller Of Lumberton, is
division insurance officer Of Camp
Jackson, Columbia, S. G. He is es,
pecially concerned that no soldier al
the camp from Robson should fai
to protect himself and his loved ones
by letting this opportunity slip. He
urges Robson county folks who have
relatives at the camp to wire or write
them at once ito take this insurance
In a special delivery letter received
by the editor of The Robesonian last
evening Captain Fuller says:
GAS division insurance officer, it is
my duty to see that every man in camp
is given ample opportunity to apply
for Government insurance and that
he has it's privileges and benefits fully
explained. But it is only natural that
l should be particularly interested in
seeing that no one from my native
county, Robson, fails to protect him
self and his loved ones. I am intense
ly concerned lest someone let Febru-
airy 18th find his unprotected.
"The campaign here is increasing in
vigor and momentum each day and we
are working hard to make the climax
come on the last day, February 18th.
That the results are most gratifying
is shown by the following figures
on January 26th, $1O4,501 100000 in
surance had been applied for. This
represented Insurance for 500 per
cent to the men at Camp Jackson. On
February End, one week later, $780,
422 10000 had been applied fo". That
represented insurance for s7.l per
cent of the men at Camp jackson.
I'VE are expecting next Saturdays
report to bring these figures up close
to S150,0O0,0 100000, representing from
"a to Sc per cent Of this division. The
only way it is possible for this per-
cent to be increased, and we are max
ing every effort to do it, is by the
folks back home either wiring or writ
ing their boy to take out this insur-
ance. February 18th is the last day
and the time wherein man may pro-
tect himself is becoming alarrningly
short. 20
I'VE have carried on an intensive adj
vertising campaign, enlisting the help
OF the local newspapers, moving pic
ture shows, bill boards, street cars.
Y. M. c. AS and transfers.
But we are asking you to use your
paper to bring home to the people of
Robson county the fact that Febru-
airy 18th is the last day on which
their son may apply for this insur
ance and that letter or telegram
from them to their boy would be of
more influence than any other in
upon him."
