Friendship Train
Delayed One Week

The Friendship Train which was
organized by North Carolina CROP,
an organization for promoting a
Christian rural overseas program,
has notified Hugh Beam, chairman
from Mcdowell county, that the train
carrying corn and soy beans for dis
tribution overseas has been delayed
for a period Of one week because
of shipping strike in Norfolk, Vir-
ginia.
Although it is regrettable that a
shipping strike should delay such a
worthwhile project, local officials
feel that it might work to some ad-
vantage in Mcdowell county mas
much as the full quota of one car
Of food has not as yet been reached.
Any citizen in Mcdowell county
who has not as yet>made a contribu-
ton is encouraged to do so on or
before December 16. Those who will
donate corn or soy beans should
take such commodities to the school
house in the vicinity in which they
live, or if it is impossible to get it
to the school, should notify A. F..
Beam, Reverend Henry Wellman, or
l. A. McLain, who will make ar
rangements to pick up the donation.
Cash contributions may be mailed
directly to any of the individuals
listed above.
Every effort is being made to
reach the quota of one car of food
for Mcdowell county. The Friend
ship Train movement is being spon-
sored by large number of Protest
ant churches and other allied organ
izations of America, and the food
gathered through this movement will
be distributed to hungry children
