kUW FOR The W. S. S. FINISH.
The Period Now Coming is the Real Test Of
Our Patriotism.


The nine days drive for War
Savings and Thrift STAMPS,
which will open on Thanksgiving
Day, will clear up for North Car
ollna the amount it now lacks
for its quota, which is Si1, 5OO,-
900, and it is expected by the
War Savings Committee that it
will be q very easy matter to COL
ject ON all unpaid pledges and to
receive requests for many more
stamps,
The fact that peace has been
declared only doubles the patrio..
tic citizens duty to his country,
according to members of the com
n1ittee. While there was the
duty a man felt to do his best to
aid while the physical fighting
was goi ng on. there is
now no danger on the physical
side, and a man must do all he
can to help in the reconstruction
problem. The period we are
Coming to now will be the real
5es' OF Our patriotism. We are
past the notlonai stage result
1lg tr 'n1 tue participation IN
actual b 'stilitieS. Peace is here
ind with gratitude to Almighty
God. we look forward TO the re-
turn of our loved ones. But with
peace come the problems Of recon
structiou, anu to all members of
he Var Savings Organization
falls thc task G. keeping daily
before everyone the need of same
living in the future as we have
done in the past, since war was
declared. We swami the results
OF our industry to be at the dis
posal of the government for the
huge tasks it will have to per
form.
The coming. drive will cover
not only the sale of War Savings
Stamps but of Thrift Stamps as
we'll. The children of the State
are splendid little patriots and
enthusiastic purcha sers of Thrift
Stamps Their quarters are as
much to them as the Iar,rer
amounts are to t cir paret IS and
it is desired to give the cnlluren
an opportunity to show their
thanks at this time in a suostan-
tantlal way. The children
whose fathers and Others will
be returning with the troops will
want to do their share in the re-
construction, and they can do it
in their own "thrift stamp way.
The drive of June did not per-
NIT of the pledging;'of Thrift
Stamps, so many childred did
not take part, but rhe coming
drive will be for the sale of both
kinds of stamps, and it is expect
ed that the school chlldred will
do their part.
If the coming drive is given
thesneeded energy, North Caro-
lima will, without question go
over the top as gloriously in its
War Savings Campaign of 1918
as it has all other war fund cam
paigns.

1t was sordered bv the board
that A ] Warren the recently
imported so-called county health
officer, purchase ali necessary arti
cles for the tuberculosi nurse, a

suppose will cali for another i'm
port and that Warren's expenses
be paid to Montrose for the pur-
pose of getting information in
regard to tuberculosis work.
Ordered that Supt. Brown look
over st Peters church road to

taking cafe of sick negro man.
At previous meeting of the
board it was ordered that Supt
