The goal set by the North Caro-

and their affiliates to sell suffi-
cient war bonds to pay the cost of
the. hospital ship Larkspur' to
be commissioned at Jacksonville,
Florida, is one of the finest to-
wa-d which a group can strive.
Our wounded men being returned
from overseas deserve all the care,
thoughtfulness and consideration
within our power. A modern hospi-
tai ship is one of the greatest aides
possible in providing these things.
My compliments and best wishes
in the undertaking."

groups, each with a chairman, and
each group took the names of at

order that every bond bought
might give a Blue Star to some

boy had a star and most of them
had as many as four The entire
community became interested and
was drawn closer together in the
effort. A total of $4,000 in bonds
