Seminole Red Cross
Chapter To Meet
Friday Night
A meeting to reorganize the Semi
nole county chapter of the American
Red Cross is to be held at the Pres
byterian church on Friday night of
this week immediately following the
evangelistic service now in progress
there.
The meeting was called by Rev. E.
Ross Sanders, acting chairman of the
chapter, at the request of A. W.
Touchton, general field representative
of the Red Cross, and permanent
officers for the local chapter will be
selected.
Membership of the Red Cross is
composed of those who contributed
SI.OO or more to the war fund drive
recently closed here in which the lo
cal chapter exceeded its quota of
51200.00 by a comfortable margin, the
total raised being over $2,000.00. To
this meeting on Friday night every
member is invited and urged to at
tend, that a good representation of
the members will be present.
Field Representative Touchton. who
will attend the meeting points out that
the services the local chapter is ex
pected to render to our armed forces
and their families in Seminole county
make it imperative that capable offi
cers who are willing to give of their
time and effort be elected. Never be
fore has the local chapter filled such
a need as is required of them now, he
pointed out.
Acting Chairman Sandero, War
Fund Drive Chairman Ellison Dunn
and Treasurer C. D. Thomas urge
everyone to attend the meeting and
help organise every needed depart
ment of the Red Cross. The need is
most urgent.

The local committee of the Ameri
can Society for Prevention of Cancer,
composed of Mrs. Morrison P. Shing
ler, chairman, Mrs. C. S. Forrester
and Mrs. Ellison Dunn, launched a
campaign here this week for funds

Some interesting information for
the public is given by Mrs. Shingler
with reference to the society which is
as follows:
The society maintains clinic for
free treatment of those who cannot
financially afford treatment.
The society places literature in the
hands of many who need knowledge
I that cancer is curable if found in
I time and how to detect cancer soon
enough.
Seminole county’s assessment is
SIOO. Donations are deductible from
I income tax.
Cancer killed 160,000 persons in
1942 because of lack of knowledge .
Cancer is no respector of position,
sex or age. It strikes the good and
1 the bad, the rich and the poor,

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF SEMINOLE AND THE CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, GEORGIA
Biggest War Bond Drive In History Will
Begin Monday; Drive T o Be Made
Here To Meet Quota.
In the gigantic U. S. Treasury War.
Financing Campaign set for April,
which is said to be the largest financ
ing program in the history of the
world, Seminole countians will be!
asked to buy $66,500 worth of all
kinds of United States bonds, it wasj
revealed this week by D. F. Wurst,,
chairman of the War bond committee
and H. O. Cummings, chairman of
the victory committee.
The big April campaign is regard-;
ed as the “acid test” for everyone as
bond purchases.
The quota is about 10 times the
average of the monthly quotas of the
past, but leaders emphasized that this
goal can be met and will be met be
fore the month is over.
The Seminole county committee
held a meeting on Tuesday morning!
and made plans for advertising and
soliciting bond purchases. A page
advertisement in this issue, sponsored
by local merchants and business men,
formally announces the opening of i
the drive next Monday.
The Second War Loan Drive is be-1
ing held over the entire nation sim-!
ultaneously and will last about three
weeks. It is designed to sell the i
American public $13,000,000,000 worth
of war bonds.
Divide that figure by the number!
of people in the United States, and!
you arrive at the conclusion that—on
the average—about SIOO worth of
bonds will have to be sold for every
man, woman and child in thy coun
try if the goal is met.
The U. S. Treasury is floating the
Second War Loan to:
1. Finance the war.
2. Help avoid inflation.
To meet the 13 milion dollar goal,
the Treasury says you can help if
you will buy bonds each week during
the period of the campaign.
The nations newspapers are coop
erating in the drive to put over this
big campaign. You get some idea of
its scope when you realize that to date
Americans have bought about four
teen billion dollars in war bonds since
the government began selling them in
May, 1941.
Under the direction of Secretary
Morgenthau, the Treasury has mapped
full plans to launch the drive with the
aid of the American press, radio, ad-,
vertising and motion picture indus-1
tries.
The press got going two weeks ago
when leading publishers and repre
sentatives of the publishing and press
associations met with Secretary Mor
genthau and heard his explanation of
the drive, the need for it, and how it
is to be conducted.
They heard, too, an explanation
by the Army’s chief of staff, General
George C. Marshall,
They .were so impressed with the
magnitude and importance of the job
outlined to them that they formed the
committee called the Allied News
paper Council. .
1. Divert into the purchase of extra j
bonds every cent not absolute.
This council pledged its complete
support to the drive, and promised to ,
carry the message and keep on carry
ing it—to 130,000,000 Americans |
through their newspapers. This is to i,
be done both through reporting fully'
on the drive jn all its aspects.
Tripp, the council president, is gen
era| manager of the Gannett news-; i
papers and chairman of the Bureau
of Advertising of the American News- j
paper Publishers Association. ; ’
Basil L. (“Stuffy”) Walters, cx-ji
ecutive editor of the Minneapolis j
Star-Journal and Tribune, secretary I
of the American Society of News I
paper Editors and president of the J i
Associated Press Managing Editors i
Association, says he thinks tfle job ■
facing the newspapers of the nation —
to publicize properly the necessity of ;
everybody investing every idle dollar i
in War Bonds—“is the most terrific
job that has ever confronted Ameri
can newspapers.”
It’s even bigger than the newspaper
scrap drive last fall—when the press «
promoted and reported the collection j
of 6 million tons of scrap metal. t
DONALSONVILLE NEWS FRIDAY, APRIL 9TH, 1913.
Success of Scrap Drive
Treasury officials, in asking news
papers to take a leading role in the
coming War Loan Drive referred to
, the success of the scrap drive and
pointed out that through newspapers
| the reasons back of the necessity to
sell 13 billion dollars worth of War
Bonds can be brought home daily to
the entire American people.
Primary object of the drive is to
j raise money to finance the war effort
—a war effort that is taking the of
fensive and which therefore costs
more.
To do it, the Treasury is offering
for sale War Savings Bonds, tax sav
ings notes, Treasury bills and a num
| ber of new Treasury issues designed
) for every type and class of investor.
Incidentally, 5 of the 13 billion to
! be raised is expected to come from in
vestments by banks. That leaves a
cool eight billion to be subscribed by
the ordinary citizen and by non-bank
ing institutions. The goal for the man
| in the street is two or three billion
j of this.
The Treasury sees the coming drive
ias a chance for every American to
! open his own personal second front.
The Treasury reminds Americans,
; incidentally, that for every series E
j War Bond (the commonest form for
! average investors) they will get back
one additional dollar 10 years hence
for every three they invest today.
Many officials take the position
that Americans don’t really need to
be reminded 6f this sound investment
angle to the purchase of War Bonds.
They say Americans on the home
front are just as anxious to take the
offensive and get this war over as the
soldiers and sailors fighting on the
war fronts.
Furthermore, they say every Amer
ican will be anxious to back up our
fighting men scattered around the
globe.
The Treasury’s slogan for the
Second War Loan sums it up:
“They give their lives—you lend
your money.”

Seminole TP And
RR Farmers Are
Growing Food ■
Seminole county Tenant Purchase
and Rural Rehabiltation families are
; going all out in the production of
food this year to help supply the
i armed forces as; well us the entire na
| tion, it was revealed in a motor trip
I over the county Tuesday. The mo-
I tor trip, arranged through Mr. Hugh
I Gleatcn, supervisor, was one of in
; terest and revelation to those making
the trip.
The first farm visited Tuesday was
that of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Golson.
Mr. Golson is probably the oldest man
accepted for a tenant purchase ac
count and perhaps one of the most
promising. He and his wife have a
large garden of more than an acre
) in which wil bo found a wide variety
iof vegetables. He has thrity-three
; head of hogs and some chickens for
! his own home consumption, 21 fruit
: trees recently set and is planning to
i can plenty for his own consumption.
! He has 62 acres of land and a nice
home. He plans to plant quite a nice
! acreage to peanuts this year as a con-
I tribution to the war effort.
The next home visited was that of
Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Hooten where one
tof the largest flocks of fryers the
writer has ever seen, was shown us.
Thirteen hundred red and rock chick
ens, just about ready for the market
was seen in one building.
One of the most progressive of the
tenant purchase farmers is a Negro,
Fred Coachman. He is known as a
■ hard worker and a visit to his home
revealed tljis. He has a large crib
, f ’ ed with corn, a smokehouse tiffed
with meat, a pretty gar.’en an<T over
two hundred chickens. This year ho
I planted a field of Austrian winter peas
i as a soil builder and has a nice crop
ion this tract. He has made nice ad
vance payments on his home and farm
and is hoping to make aonther big
payment out of his cotton and pea
! nuts this year.
Walter Bush’s farm was visited.
He has an exceptionally pretty gar
den, fruit trees, and will probably
market 30 head of hogs this year. Ho
I is now building a large brooder house
