The Roanoke Rapids Community
Chest drive has gone over and
beyond the top. While its coveted
goal of $15,112.15 has been reached,
Father Peter M. Denges, Cam
paign Chairman, feels confident
that the amount asked for will be
greatly oversubscribed when all
the pledge cards have been re
turned and tabulated.
In a statement to the press the
first of the week Father Denges
declared, "Like Moses, the intrepid
leader of God’s chosen people,
standing on Mount Nebo, feasting
his eyes on the inviting Promised
Land, a land flowing with milk
and honey, which he could not
enter, so we of the Community
Chest were standing last Saturday
night on the threshold of our de
sired goal, only $987.15 from vic
tory. The unsolicited cheerfully
made up the difference, so that
once again Roanoke Rapids takes
its proud place among the many
cities of the United States that
have gone over and beyond the
top in their Community Chest
drives. Our great civic-minded
city is one of the most liberal
Community Chest supporters in
the country, and we have reason
to be elated over our present and
past Chest achievements. One
and all, we are grateful to God
that we have entered triumphant
ly the Promised Land of ultimate
R11PPPSS ”
Father Denges further said, “As
Campaign Chairman of the Roan
oke Rapids Community Chest, on
behalf of our entire personnel, we
proffer our heartfelt gratitude to
all the citizens of our friendly city
who have so liberally contributed
to the Community Chest. From
the very depths of our grateful
hearts we thank most sincerely
our faithful colonels ,our loyal ma
jors, our hard-working captains,
together with their scores and
scores of able and self-sacrificing
assistants. We say most heartily
Many, many thanks to all who
helped in any way to make our
1942 Chest Campaign so successful.
To mention the names of all our
Chest workers .members and oth
ers would be impossible. God
knows you all, and it is our fond
hope and earnest prayer that He
will reward and prosper you, one
and all, without exception.”
In conclusion he remarked: "It
has been a joy, a pleasure and an
honor for us to serve as Cam
paign Chairman of the Roanoke
Rapids Community Chest. We
have received 100% cooperation
from all. May the good God cher
ish and prosper and bless you all.”

Oxford Orphanage
Points To Record
The Oxford Orphanage at Oxford,
has a record of sixty-nine years of
service to the children of North
Carolina. Over 5,000 have been
cared for and trained. Its gradu
ates and former pupils are in all
walks of life and there is no record
of a former pupil having been con
victed and sentenced for commit
ting a major crime. It is the old
est orphanage in the State and re
ceives children other than those of
the membership of the suporting
order.
At the present time less than 50%
of the population of the Orphanage
is of Masonic parentage. The Home
possesses valuable buildings,
grounds and euipment and has had
no operating deficit for several
years.
The annual budget of the Or
phanage calls for an expenditure
of $170,000. This provides shelter,
clothing, food, recreation, heat,
light, books, school supplies, health
program, staff or trained workers,
vocational training in several de
partments, laundry, repairs and up
keep to buildings, grounds and
equipment, and experienced case
work for a family of 313 children.
Superintendent C. K. Proctor an
nounces that the sum of $10,000.00
is needed this year for operating ex
panses in order to balance the bud
get.
The Oxford Orphanage is more
than a philanthropy — it is an
investment in the lives of North
Carolina boys and girls who would
not otherwise have a chance. It
pays to the State and its citizen
ship the high dividends in charac
ter and trained young people: It
is an opportunity today for North
Carolina citizens to express in a
substantial way their desire to help
others. i
The orphanages of the State use
the Thanksgiving season as an oc
casion to appeal to the citizens of
the State for much needed assist
ance. The Superintendent of the
Oxford Orphanage announces that
the Home is open for visitors each
day and hundreds of North Caro
lina citizens visit this historic spot
every year

.. .You can
spot it every time
IT TAKES “know how” to do a job right. The makers
of Coca-Cola have specialized in knowing how
to produce refreshment.
Coca-Cola is a quality drink carefully made ..
with years of experience behind it. A finished
art in its making, unknown to others, gives
Coca-Cola an unmatched taste-appeal with
an unmistakable after-sense of refreshment.
A blend of special essences adds to the
goodness of Coca-Cola an extra something
that everybody welcomes.
More than just thirst-quenching,
ice-cold Coca-Cola is the drink that
goes into refreshing energy. Its re
freshment pleasantly lingers,
reminding you that content
ment comes when you con
nect with a Coke.
* * *
Wartime limits the supply of Coca-Cola.
Those times when you cannot get it,
remember: Coke, being first choice, sells i
out first. Ask for it each time. No matter how short
the supply, the quality of Coca-Cola carries on.
When the whistle blows for lunch, workers
make a bee-line for the red cooler that
holds ice-cold Coca-Cola. Coke is the per
fect partner of good things to eat.
The best is always the better buy!
