LOCAL RED CROSS CHAPTER
MAKES FIRST APPEAL FOR
RED CROSS ROLL CALL

This somewhat belated appeal for
the Red Cross Roll Call is sent out
this week. 1t is earnestly hoped that
the number enrolling this year will
be far above the average. One half
of all funds from this roll call is
kept at home for any case of neces-
sity ma calamity in our own section.
which may come at any time. The
Red Cross is ready at any time to
help in a calamity responding as a
loving mother to the needs of Grip
pied child. We earnestly appeal to
and request each Pastor, Sunday Sup
erintendent, and school teacher, that
they will take the lead in this call by
appointing one or more from those
under their charge to solicit members
for the Watauga County Chapter.
The fee for membership is $1.00, and
no one can spend a dollar in a more
helpful way than to give it for the
good of others. AL ! money is to be
sent to Mr.. W., D. Farthing, Treas
,urer of the Red Cross chapter, Boone
N. C. The time for making the roll
call began on the 18th and will end
on Thanksgiving Day Nov. 29th. We
truly hope that everyone in the coun-
ty will show trAy thankful spirit
hv anrollinp in this great and noble
organization which has accomplish
ed and is accomplishing SO much and
been so helpful and comforting in
distress at home and abroad. We
feel chat we are making this appeal
to true loyal Christian American cit
izens and we the more freely make
the appeal. With very best wishes,
We are yours for the work,
A. j. GREENE, County Chm.
j. M. DOWNUM, Secretary.

DAUGHTER FIRST TO AN
SWER THE RED CROSS CALL

Governor Cameron Morrison and
little daughter Angela We're the first
two people in North Carolina to an
swer the Annual Roll Call of the A
merican Red Cross.
"The Red Cross ought to be nou-
rished and sustained and kept strong
to meet disaster and emergency when
it comes," Governor Morrison sta
ted in a letter accompanying the
check. "It is the greatest organiza-
ton in all the worlds history for the
relief of those plunged into sudden
disaster and suffering. l hope North
Carolina will be generous in contri-
buting to its support,
51,13O members is the goal set for
the annual membership campaign in
this state, which is now on and will
last through Thanksgiving. The 126
Red Cross chapters in North Carolina
will conduct local campaigns in as
many communities throughout the
State.

WILL EVENTUALLY HARD-SURFACE
BOONE TRAIL TO TENNESSEE LINE
Bids now Sought for lard Surfacing to Yadknville
Contract for | ; miles to be Let in Stretch

Bids have been called for by the
State Highway Commission on the
construction . of a hard surface
road on Highway No. 80, known
as the Boone Trail, from Yadkin
River at the Forsyth county line thru
the town of Yadkinville.
This important information on
the--next big highway project to
be undertaken by the state in this
section was obtained from A. S. Hans
highway commissioner for the sew
enth district.
Mr.. Hanes also stated that if the
bids received are satisfactory the
state will let the contract for this
new highway on the 27th of No
vember, when the next meeting Of
the commission will be held at
headquarters in Raleigh.
The State Commission is calling
for bids on concrete construction
This means that the Yadkin coun
ty link of highway no. 60, will be
an extension of the splendid con

crete highway that is -now almost
completed from Winston-Salem to
the river near Enon. =
The length of the Yadkin county
link fer which bids have been
asked is thirteen and one-half miles.
Commissioner Hanes says this will
carry the new concrete construction
through the town of Yadkinville.
With the building of this link near
ly thirty miles of the Boone Trail
will have been hard surfaced from
Winston-Salem west. Traffic is hea-
vier on this thirty mile section than
on any part of the great thorough
fare from Winston-Salem to the Ten
nessee line.
Just when the State Commission
will be able to let the contract fol
other hard surface construction or
highway no. 60, west of Winston
Salem is not known, but it is under
stood that the plan is to finally hard
surface it all the way to the Ten
nGssee line. =

ARMISTICE DAY
CELEBRATION WAS
LARGELY ATTENDED

The Armistice day celebration in
North Wilkesboro last Saturday, was
very largely attended and the day
was as we are told, much enjoyed.
The program was nicely carried out
in every detail-safe the airplane at
traction-the planes failing to arrive
But it seems that there was trouble
in waiting for at least some of the
happy throng after the shades of the
night had gathered. Coming up on
no. 60 on Sunday we observed four
automobiles, good ones too,
within a distance of about two miles.
Of course this is easily accounted
for, as ehe thoroughfares were liter
ally crowded with cars, and maybe
the drivers had on too much gas!
If this average kept up on all the
roads the loss of cars was quite an
item. Any way the boys had big
day.

BOONE EXPECTS TO HAVE ONE MILE
OF CONCRETE PAVING DONE SOON
own Aldermen Go to Winston-Salem for Inter-
view with Commissioner Haynes ~

The board of Town Aldermen con-
sisting of Messrsj Frank Moore, T.
B. Moore and DR.. Anders, with Mayor
Hahn left yesterday for Winston-S:.-
lem to meet an engagement with the
Highwty Commission for t'i:,s district
A. S. Haynes, looking to the build
ing of cement street through TIE
city from the intersection of Nos.
60 and 1? at the home of Mr.. Bob
Bingham to Green Heights, distance
of something over one mile. They
went with proposition from the
people of Boone for the construction
of the street on fifty fifty basi ),
and as the commission expects to
spend quite a sum of money anyway
on the Boone Trail through town, it
is safe prediction that the ideas
of our progressive people will be car
ried out. Let US hope so, for there
is nothing just now that would add
so much to. our town. Taxes are
getting bit high, but our people
seem to be most enthusiastic over the
proposition.

$50, 900 GOAL FOR CHRISTMAS
T. B.. SEAL SALE

No less than $4,000 is to be the
goal for the 1923 tuberculosis Xmas
seal sale in North Carolina. Last year
the amount raised was $45.G93. While
the North Carolina tuberculosis As
sociation under whose auspices the
tuberculosis Christmas Seals are sold
in the state feels that an increase
of only $1,000 is. too smali ali amount
to work for, in view of the Urgent
needs that Christmas Seal money can
be used to relieve, it urges several
seal selling organizations t increase
it's budget several thousacd dollars
and to work to double its sale if
possible. E I
There are $50 seal selling organ,
izations in the state. These are com
posed of we'll trained women and
men, leaders in their communities,
who are responsible for the sale of
tuberculosis Christmas Seals In I %eir
town and county between Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas. In many places the
seal selling organization is the Health
Department of the Woman's Club. In
Raleigh the seal sale is conducted by
the health department of the Womans
Club of which Miss Rose M. Ehren-
field is Chairman. Mrs C. A. Shore
will have direct charge of the sale
this year. In Durham the sale will
also be under the auspices of the Wo-
mans Club with Mrs. ]. H. Eppersop
as Chairman. In Asheville Mrs. j.
M. Gldger, .Jr. with strong commit
tee of business men and women will
conduct the sale.
Last year Winston-Salem not only
led the cities of the state in selling
seven thousand dollars worth of seals
but won National nonors in making
the largest per capita sale of any city
in the United States having a popu-
lation of $4,000. She proposes to
increase her sale this year to 1O,-
900 dollars.

WATAUGA POTATO GROWERS
MAKE INITIAL SALE OF SEED SPUDS
South Carolina Produce Association Purchase
ZOO Bushels at Good Figure

Last Friday Mr.. John w. Gariety
was in Boone and bought 27OO BUSH
els of potatoes from the Potato Grow
ers Association. Mr.. Gariety is rep
resenting the South Carolina Produce
Growers Association, and was return
ing from a trip through Maine, New
York, New Jersey and other states,
where he had bought thirty thousand
bags of seed potatoes to be planted
by his Association. When in Boone
he was still in need of 10000 bags
and would have been glad to have
bought that amount from our grow
ers if we had had them to sell, as
he stated that the potatoes inspected
here were better than any he had
found in any of the northern states.
The potato growers association sold
him 1000 bags, 500 to be shipped
from Watauga and 500 from Avery.
Mr.. Gaeity said that hi sAssocia-
tion in South Carolina planted every
year abou tforty thousand bags more
than 100000 bushels, and that they
would much prefer to buy their seed
from the Mountain Potato Growers
Association than.to buy them in the
State of Main eas they had done up
to this time.
Mr.. Gaeity contracted to pay $5.75
DER bag for certified seed, S5.25 for
''good seed" not certified, and $3.50
per bag for no. 2 potatoes. Mr.. Steele
stated that after the freight bags and
other ineidentals were paid this would
net the farmers approximately $1.70
per bushel for certified seed, $1.55
for good seed" not certified, and
$1.20 per bushel for no. 2's: Mr..
Steele also said that the Association
in this county was saying about 500
bags to be shipped to the farmers in
the eastern part Of the state where
they have trade already established
When asked if. additional farmers in
: Watatiga would probably join the As
sociation and grow seed next year,
Mr.. Steele stated that they probably
would but that they would be slow to
join and that all Of our seed would
he shipped so that they would have
to use poorer seed from Maine and
pay higher price for them. He St.
ted that this was one Of the disad-
'vantages of unorgadized farmers,
but expressed confidence that the time
was coming when the farmers of Wa
tauga would act together in larger
organizations as farmers in other
sections are doing.

THE THANKSGIVING DAY
APPEAL MADE FOR "ONE-
DAY-FOR-T THE-ORPHANS"

The following letter has been sent
out broadcast from the North Caro-
lima Orphan Association, and it is
published that it may induce some
to help out in the noble movement.
''The accompanying pamphlet sets
forth the purpose of this letter and
it is the hope of the committee that
everyone receiving it may find pleas
ure in responding literally to the call
themselves and pass the word on to
their friends. Hitherto thousands of
big hearted North Carolinians have
generously responded to the sugges-
tion of forwarding to the orphanage
of their choice the income of day
at Thanksgiving. We believe they will
do so again with the promptings of
a gentle reminder. H
In order that more adequate equip
ment and support might be provided
for the fatherless and motherless chill
dren of the state the "one-uay-for-
the-orphans" movement. was started
calling upon all aur people to add
to the stream of regular contributions
a special thanksgiving income equal
to a days income. This is reason
able request, for anyone can share
with the orphans the earnings OF one
day out Of 365. 1t is practicable, for
rich and poor alike can participate in
it. 1t enlists our people fall creeds
ana classes in beautiful cooperation
for the support of needed civic and
Christian philanthropy. While it de-
posits an handsome aggregate in the
orphanage treasures, it also deepens
and enriches the lives of our people.
The cry of the orphan-who can
hear it unmoved? And whose heart
does not thrill with joy at the thought
of the twenty-odd orphanages in Nor
Carolina housin ghundreds Of depen-
dant children and training them into
| individual efficiency and good citizen
ship? Yet every one of the splendid
| institutions need better equipment
and larger support, and everyone OF
them is besieged by applicants for
admission which must not be denied
for lack of means. In this good state
of ours there are literally thousands
of orphan children, dependent and de
serving, who must be handicapped
for life, unless in their tender years
they can have the sheltering care and
culture offered in our orphan homes.
Make your offering on or about
THANKSGIVING Day. Make it on the
basis of your earning capacity for q
single day-more, if you will; less if
YOU can do no better. Make it through
your church or lodge, or send it direct
to the orphanage of your choice Make
it with the prayer that our orphan
children may be led into the larger
life here and the life eternal here
after
