BY MRS. CHARLES G. DOAK

BY MRS. CHARLES G. DOAK
Twill you and each of your club
members give sick or wounded
veteran one months hospital serv-
ice?" is the question asked in a
joint letter from Mrs. Karl Bishop
ric. president of the North Caro-
lima Federation of Women's clubs
and state chairman of the Women
division, War Finance committee,
and Mrs. R. A. Mclaughlin of
Winston-Salem, chairman of the
Federation Post War Finance
committee, which went to all club
presidents yesterday. The letter
gave full information about t h
forthcoming Victory Loan Drive
which opens October 20 and closes
December 8.
Clubwomen are urged to invest
in and sell $3.50 Roosevelt Memo
rial E bonds, each of which will
provide 80 days care for a sick
or wounded soldier, sailor, marine
or airman. Other uses to which
the Victory Loan will be put were
listed as: the bringing back of
millions of fighting men from over
seas and sending requirements
where necessary; providing mus
tering out pay; hospital care, re-
Mobilization treatment and training
for the wounded and disabled; to
maintain armies of occupation un-
til order is restored throughout the
world; to pay for postwar educa-
ton of those obliged to leave learn
ing for war: and to liquidate war
production machinery through war
contract cancellations. Slogans
adopted for the Victory Loan drive
are: What will you pay for
peace?' Finish the job" "Be-
cause we Care.''
Not only is Mrs Bishopric join
ing Mrs. Mclaughlin in the appeal
to Federation women, but she is
calling upon all women's organiza-
lions to begin their years work
with whatever plans that suits their
groups for cooperation with the
Victory Loan drive. They are urg-
ed to set goals, outline their plans,
keep accurate records and to
make reports 10 her or to the war
finance chairman of their respec-
tive organizations not later than
December IS
