Wood as guest of relief in Kinston for several days, a meeting of the mute department of the North Carolina Grasis club, a Calvary church class gathering, and a Kennedy Batton wedding. It also describes an Uncle Sam extra shovelful poster drive with district by district tallys and donations from local women and clubs, plus guidance on coal use and fuel management during wartime.
