Women at War Week" was OBJ
served by the women Of America
November 1928, 1912, by selling
bonds and stamps to finance the
war. Now they are to observe "Wo-
men at Peace Week. from Deem
Der 1-8, 1945 by rebuilding their
efforts at bond selling and help.
ing to bring the Victory Loan to
successful climax.
Mrs. Karl Bishopric, State chair.
man of the Women's Division of the
War Finance committee, has di-
rected with notable success the
various bond selling campaigns
between Women at War Week"
and Women at Peace Week" She
now calls upon the women of the
organization which she heads, the
North Carolina Federation of Wo.
mems clubs, and all other women's
organizations in the state to mobi-
lie their forces during this week.
December 18, to employ every
promotional scheme and selling
aid known to them, in every city,
township, block and home, and to
do the best job of bond selling
they have yet done. She would have
this last concentrated drive by wo-
men bespeak their gratitude that
the war has ended for America
and that the opportunity has come
to our country again to lead in
moulding permanent peace for
the world. She holds to the belief
that adequate finances must be
provided for finishing the job-that
is, bring the servicemen and wo-
men home. provide disqualification
and rehabilitation-if America is
to build peace in the hearts OF
her citizens.
Mrs. Bishopric has sent to all
club presidents in the federation,
and to bond sales leaders in other
organizations, list of every
method and idea that has been
used in the bond selling campaign
along with many new suggestions
everything from having Bonds
for Babies" parade to a Victory
Ball on the night of December 7.
She urges a proclamation from the
mayor in each town, and the hold
ing of a Peace Forum at which
peace aims and prospects might be
reviewed. A daily calendar of
things individuals might do through
out the week to show their appre-
citation OF the peace that has come
and their determination to safe
guard it, is included in the list.
Mrs. r. A. Mclaughlin of Win
ston-Salem, chairman of the fede-
ration's bonds and stamps COM
nittee,. adds her request to the
club women that they make this
last effort their finest achieve
ment. She wants this as tribute
to Mrs. Bishopric in recognition
Of her tireless and superb lead
ership, and because she believes
the effort is necessary if North
Carolina is to meet what is ex-
pected of her.
Mrs. Mclaughlin has advised
clubwomen that patriotic friend
has offered two trips to War
Finance commencement celebra-
ton to be held in Raleigh or
Greensboro around the middle of
January: one to the club president
whose club sells the most E bonds
per capita membership, and one
to the Bonds for Babies chairman
who enrolls the most names OF
children from birth to is years of
age on Junior and Cradle Roll Of
Honor posters combined.
Also, the clubs are informed that
the deadline for reporting Victory
Loan sales and purchases by club
members is extended from Deem
Der Is to January s.. This action
has been taken throughout the Wo-
mems Division and by all organi-
cations because the Junior Roll of
Honor posters were unavoidably de-
layed at the printers, and because
it is desired that Christmas gift
sales and purchases be counted.
Reports are to be made as soo1
after the close of the Victory Loan
as possible, and must be postmark-
ed not later than January 5, 1916,
and mailed to Mrs. Mclaughlin at
2375 Elizabeth Avenue, Winston
Salem.
Mrs. Gordon Maddrey of Ahoskie
Chairman of the department of
American Citizenship of the State
Federation, has received notice
from Mrs. M. Y. NeWcombe, chair
man Of that department in the
General Federation of Women S
clubs, that a $500 prize will be
awarded to the federated club hav.
ing the best forum on Know Your
Local Government" or ''KnowYour

award will be made to the State
