the Club, having come into office
two months ago, but it was in Sep
TENDER, 1851, during the presi-
dency of A. H. Ward that the
club decided to erect a new home
on the beach, viewing it as a more
prosperous looking business site.
This action followed the sale of a
building they had occupied at the
Manteo Airport through the gen.
erous action of the Dare County
Board of Commissioners. This
Building, having some 1000 feet
Of foor space cost only 1928 per
month rent, and through the skill
full management of the active club
members, the club made some
$1,000 since it began business.
From its income the Club made
several sizeable donations to the
Shriners hospitals, bought a tele-
vision set and much other equip
ment for the club, and spent some
money on putting a floor in the
building and other alterations to
conform to the club needs.
The property having been sold
to the highest bidder, the club
voted to take the $1,000 cash it
had on hand and build on the
beach, a member, r. B. Lennon,
having generously offered a valu-
able site on the beach for the new
home. This was the outstanding
donation, being worth $500 or
more, although several members
gave donations ranging from 500
downward; several were for $50
each.

CHAIRMAN ASKS
FOR LIBERAL AID
ON POPPY DAY
Campaign for Funds to Aid
Disabled Veterans Will
Be Held in BelhaVen

A liberal response to the cam
paign for funds for disabled vet
Grams is urged by Mrs. Elizabeth
Gibbs Windley, Poppy Chairman
of Unit 249, American Legion
Auxiliary of Belhaven.
Mrs. Windley outlines the
work of the Poppy Day campaign
as follows:
with poppy day rapidly ap-
preaching, disabled veterans of
both world wars in veterans hos
pitals throughout the nation are
working to complete the thirty
million memorial peoples which
Americans will wear on that day.
Approximately ten thousand
disabled veterans unable to per-
form other work have been given
employment by the American
Legion Auxiliary in its poppy
program this year. The majority
have worked in their beds, wheel
chairs or hobby shops in hospi-
tails of the Veteran Administra-
ton, although many have been
employed at special poppy work.
rooms maintained by the Auxil-
larry in several states. With more
than 1,50O Korean war veterans
now in veterans hospitals, it is
probable that some of the pop
pies this year have been made
by men disabled in that con-
flict, as well as by world war
veterans.
TO men who have been con-
fined to the hospitals for months
or even years, the work is a
godsend. 1t fills the long monot-
onous hospital hours with an in
teresting activity, keeping hands
and minds busy and turning
thoughts away from self. The ex-
perience of being able to do
something useful again some
times changes the Veterans
whole attitude. Some apparently
hopeless cases have been started
on the road to recovery by max
ing peoples. Everyone who wears
a poppy on poppy day helps
these Veterans while honoring
their comrades"

The goal of the buyers in the w.
T. Grant Company includes much
more than low prices. In the words
of Vice President and Merchandise
Director J. l.. Knies, Grant buyers
are charged with getting the public
what it wants, when it wants it, at
the prices it wishes to pay"
In the Grant Company, Mr.. Knies
points out, Glow price is just
symbol of the good values we bring
to the public on our counters. !"
Good values" he adds, mean quail
ity materials, proper workmanship
and smart style in addition to at
tractive prices"
To state the company's merchan-
dising policy in another way,
Grants buyers are constantly striv-
ing to raise the standard of Amer
lean living. Grants believes that
good taste and dependable quality
need not be high priced. By mass
buying and economical store Oper-
alton the company has been able to-
bring down the prices on countless
items for men, women and chill
dren.'
To aid buyers in their program,
Grants has growing merchandise
testing program. Increasing num-
beTs of items are being repackaged
