Father McNamara Asks Coatiaaed
Co-operation as Red Cross Roll
Cafl Nears dose.
The annual roll call for funds to
meet charity demands in Baldwin
county will come to an end next
Monday and as the final days
ed. Father McNamara, director of
the drive, asked continued co-opera
tion and urged every person to make
a contribution to the fund.
The need for charity has been
estimated for the year and the drive
'a to secure the needed n.iney to
care for the needy for the year.
Father McNamara issued the fol
lowing statement:
I do hope and pray that thi
peal, which marks the final appeal
of the drive for Relief Funds, will
also mark with a very determined
note of finality the necessity for
further appeals within the next
twelve months. Whether or not it
does depends upon the people of
community. Those of our virions
churches who have willingly i
cheerfully assume the burden of
l'ciSlng funds to provide relit f for
our poc. and needy over the next
twelve months hive gone about their
task most zealously and if the end
that this drive has sought to reach
is not attained it will be no fault
of theirs. The reason for the fault
must be rought elsewhere than
among the workers of the drive.
I would ask everyone within
community to look within themselves
and weigh fieriously the good fortune
that has been theh-s during these
day« of stress and stra’n; look with
in themselves and honestly contrast
their condition with that of their
less fortunate brothers in distress;
look with'n themselves and apart to
themselves answer the question
whether they have done their full
duty to the poor and needy of our
community. In making this search
ing exrminat'on of themselves In
regard to the'r duty I would ask
them to hear in mind that this duty is
not nn arbitrary affair but a serious
obligation dictated by God and
Country. No man who neglects God’s
poor is worthy of the glorious title
’Christian’’; and in v'*w of our
Prcn ! dent's words no man who during
the pre'ent. emergency who neglects
to g've to the relief of that poor
can caH himself an American. Of
course I refer to those who can give
and wont.
Next week a complete list of those
who have given will be published.
At that time I hope the name of
every man and woman of Milledge-
ville and Baldwin county who can
give will be incorporated in that
list. Let ns all pull together and
give together and keep our city and
county ns they have ever been,
community that has never slrrked
responsibility. If as yet you have not
given make your donation inrmedi-
ately either through your church
Red Cross Headquarter*.

The cadets emerged from the game
Friday with few injurien They were
victorious and kept their season rec
ord clean, to hold the’r elarm on
junior college ehampionsh p

played a superior coaching accomp

team from Coehran that was highb
primed and trained to defeat the
cadets.

Cochran blocked a punt late in the
game to score a lone touchdown and
win. The Teachers are a more pow
erful and rugged team than Coch
ran. They will greatly out weigh G-
M. C. and like Coehran they are
anxious to win.
The cadets are on Ae spot
again. They stand at the head of the
Junior college brigade and they will
battle a team that has one purpose
for a succesrful season and that is
to defeat the cadets. Tho game Fri

teams and will ogati afford the fans
