/ THE BAINBRIDGE POST-SEARCH LIGHT Red Cross Shipped Several Boxes One of the Red Cross members re marked this week, ‘*1 did not believe that we had done much work the past month until I saw those several boxes packed and shipped last week.” The Red Cross Linen Shower, which was universaly asked for, received a hearty response from the Bainbridge chapter, and all Auxilliaries. Each of them responded liberally and by way of parenthesis it can be said that every auxiliary in the county has been very active lately and have ac complished good work. In the Red Cross linen shower, wfiich the Bainbridge chapter was asked to give, 805 pieces of hospital supplies were shipped—a little over the quota which was asked.

That is only one deed of heroism among the many happening every day and looked on as a matter of course by the boys fighting for us over there. It shows the stuff that’s in them.

Robinson, and little sonj left today for Richland to sp Several weeks ago we had publish ed a communication from Mrs. Em- mis T. Martin, 1627, Candler Build ing, Atlanta, Ga., relative to the cam paign. Mrs. Martin is offering all the ceunties who are interested special prizes an opportunity for any number of individuals who wish to sell membership cards at 50c apiece which will entitle them to a card, bearing a number which may win a Hanson six car. This car is to be won by some one in Georgia and this money sent in for the membership cards is to be invested in special prizes for the Rat Campaign, proper, which will begin on the 21 of Oct. and eml on the 26.” Anyone who is suc cessful enough to sell 100 of these cards will be entitled to 10 extra cards with numbers entitling him to 10 extra chances at the auto. Now if you have not been selling cards, get busy at once, and as one of the boys in town suggested, get some one to go in with you, and together you will find it easier to sell the 100 cards. Just send in the money to Mrs. Mar tin as you get it, and she will pend you the cards to distribute to those to whom they were sold. This money must be gotten in at once as the prizes are to be bought during the present drive, and the killing week is only a few days off. We were trying to see all the schools as they opened but the Fair and now the “Flu”, has hindered us And we will have to trust to your reading the paper if we do not get to see you in time. We have gotten some local prizes for those killing the largest number of rats during the Campaign week, in addition to those offered by Mrs. Mar tin, and hope ever}’ boy and girl in the county will feel it his or her pa triotic duty to take part in this much needed campaign, making it a con tinuous one throughout the year. Now ask your teacher or some one l in your community to be your j “counter” at the end of the killing week. Bring all your rat tails to him and he will keep a record, send to us and the prizes will be awarded to the ones who have killed the larg est number of rats, and so on as long as they last. A list of the prizes of fered and the winners will be publish ed, and we shall expect a splendid re port and showing for old Decatur. We all know that the rats and mice destroy millions of dollars worth of food and clothing every year, as well as spread diseases of many kinds and all should be interested in this State campaign, to rid our country of these pests. Remeber anything in the shape of rat or mouse, be it big, middlesized, or little, will count in the counting, would suggest that you trap or kill them by hand, however. Don’t for get the dates, October 21-26. Miss M. Stella Matthews, Emergency Home Dem. Agt. On Tuesday afternoon Editor Grif fin came near having a serious car accident.

Now, for instance, if you have a visi tor on Thursday why wait until the next Tuesday afternoon, the last min ute. to call up? Why not call not later than Friday for often if people wait as late as Wednesday it is too late for that week’s paper and always bear in mind that the paper must go to press on time. We realize that the locals go a long way toward making a paper and any items which you have we will appreciate it if you will phone them in to this office.
