TRIP OF ROTARY
CLUB TOALBANY

The District Rotary Convention,
scheduled for Albany February Is and
Ia, has been indefinitely postponed.
John H. Gray, district governor, has
written the Americas Rotary club that
because Of the weather and influenza
in many parts of the district, it has

War Risk Insurance Secretary Joe
Johnson said Saturday:
1T is important that men who are
or have been serving with the colors
and who have taken out insurance
with the United States government
shall understand that they may retain
such insurance with the United States
government even if they leave the
military service. This is fully ex-
planned in circulars issued by the War
Risk Insurance Bureau.
THE United States Bureau of War
Risk Insurance desires to have the
information contained in these circu-
bars receive the widest publicity. 1t
is matter that concerns not only the
relatives Of the soldiers and every
body to whom the soldiers owe money
and everybody who is trying to help
the soldier restore himself to civil life.
The man with life insurance is a bet
ter man for all purposes.
"Rotarians can help by seeing that
the literature itself is posted, in public
places and that information concern
ing 1t is printed in the local newspa-
pers. Even if the papers have had
items about this matter, get them to
run it again and put some human in
terest" into it.
Get the relatives and friends of
the soldiers from Sumter county to
write to the men in the service and
urge them not to let their insurance
lapse"
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
says that approximately four million
officers and men of the army and navy
are now insured with the United States
government for grand total of almost
$4,000, 100000, and that this is the
strongest, safest and cheapest life in
surance ever written

SUMTER ASKED
FOR SlOO TOAD
Y. VIC. A. WORK

The Y. W. G. A has started a cam
paign to raise funds for it's ordinary
peace-time work, and Sumter county
is asked to give $500. Mrs. H. B. Mash
burnt women's chairman for the Unit
ed War Work drive, has undertaken
to raise the amount, with the help of
the womens committees that aided in
that drive, and an attempt will be
made this week to secure the quota.
No person will be asked to contribute
more than 81. Every county in Geor-
gia is asked to raise the same amount,
800.
The Y. w. C. A. officials say that
the money is urgently needed now,
because:
When in 1917 the association had
the chance to make or break and to
be useful, it chose to make life and
pressure came so swiftly from all
parts of the country that the associa-
ton was forced into a place it could
not otherwise have reached for years.
The $15,O00,O 100000 budget of 1918 can
not, Of course, be touched for anything
but the war work of the association.
1t is, therefore, necessary to hold a
campaign to raise funds for the regu-
lar work during the year 1919-work
having increased ten-fold.
2.-War work was not merely emer-
gency work, but the beginning of a
program to fit women for after-the-
war construction. The field is calling
for new organizations, for new work.
ers, for enlarged programs and all
things which go toward growth and
development.
3.-Since the regular routine work
of an association lacks the universal
flashing appeal of war work, the awak-
ened consciousness calls for a pro-
gram for greater visions and larger
service.
Mrs. Mashburn anticipates no diff1-
Guilty in raising the small quota.

even though all the passengers may
consent, no concessions are made to

are to be referred to regular smoking
