Reports were presented by the
standing committees with special
attention being given to the re-
habilitation, child welfare and the
hospital work at the Veterans
hospital. A bulletin was read
from the department hospital
chairman in regard to the Christ
mas program in North Carolina
Veterans hospitals.
The 1947-48 campaign was
launched by Mrs. W. K. Stewart,

ed for a hundred per cent cooper
alton from everyone in obtaining
both renewals and new member
ships She also asked for the
members to strive to obtain 10 or
more memberships which would
qualify them as go -getters. The
national headquarters this year
has increased the membership
quota 10 percent over the mem
bership as of June 1947. The fact
that the Wilmington American.

state presents direct challenge
