NAC.W. Holdup Begins <s> (Continued from last week) Possibilities of this Plan Work done in each of five cities in 42 states This makes 210 cities. $500 from each city would amount to $160,000. This is the possibility of the NACW HOLD-UP. This is a conservative estimate. Don’t sit idly by and let this chance pass. Let's do it! If you follow the instructions given in this bulletin, you will get all the money you need! I say this with assurance, because the plan has been tried. I tried it myself, I know it will work! The plan is so simple that you might wish to scoff at it, but don’t you dare scoff. I tell you I have tried it. We gathered $447 in Evansville, a city of one hundred thousand people; we used 57 work ers. You can do this and more. Follow direction, Follow direc tions The time, May 14 through May 27. Three efforts: 1_A public meeting 2— A subscription Dinner 3— “The NACW Hold-up”— Penny Drive The subscription dinner and the public meeting are to precede the Penny Drive. This drive is to be held on tlhe same day all over the country, but the dinner and the public meetings may be set on the day that suits each city best The subscription dinner and public meeting will give excellent opportunity for advertising the THE AWFUL PRICE YOU MY FOR RUNG' ■ NERVOUS Cheek Below And See If You Have j Any Of The Signs Quivering nerve# can make you old and haggard looking, cranky.and hard to live •with —can keep you awake nights and rob you of good health, good times and jobs. Don’t let yourself r‘go" like that. Start taking a good, reliable tonic—one made espe cially/or women. And could you ask tor any thing whose benefits have been better proved than world-famous Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound? Let the wholesome herbs and roots of Pinkham’s Compound help Nature calm your shrieking nerves, tone up your system, and help lessen distress from female func tional disorders. Make a note NOW to get a bottle of this time-proven 11 ckham's Compound TODAY without fail from your druggist. Over a mil lion women have written in letters reporting wonderful benefits. For the past 60 years Lydia E. Pmkham s Vegetable Compound has helped grateful women go “smiling thru" trying ordeals. Why not let it help YOU? • Penny Drive. If your efforts have not netted you success do not be discouraged, but take heart for here is a sure plan for the money. When the National Council of Women raised its one hundred thousand dollars for the Chicago Century of Progress meeting in 1933, all we had to do was to get our women to go to the Postal telegraph office in the various ci ties and register, siimply sign their names. But it netted the National Council $100,000. Very simple pro cedure, wasn’t it. A million of our women signed their names. Thus shows what numbers can do A penny apiece from twelve million Negros will amount to $120,000. Will be prove too indo lent to go out after it? Will we prove that we are too skeptical to try a plan that is presented? Then again while we are out walking trying to collect one pen ny from each of the twelve million Negroes we shall not fail to knock at the doors of the many white inhabitants who will gladly give us a penny. You will pass them as you go, so ask them also. You will find great joy and plea sure in this effort. May will be warm and it will prove a great lark to all who participate. But, oh how happy you will be when a half bushel basket of pennies to count. Materials Sent for the Drive Make use of every bib of mater ial that has been sent you for the drive. Send it to their club women. Engross yourself in this matter until you talk of it day and night. “IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL” MAYOS BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children’s Work A Specialty —2422 I ake Street_ ' ".. * * ' * • " ' 'i l I l I ? it tl.Vtt i lt l 1 I it lL Lit lit t j Classified Telephone Directory Automobiles SHAMES BODY BUILDERS™ 1906 Cuming Street Cars in very good condition—good rubber, like new.

Three activi ties to be carried out are: 1. Public meeting 2. Suscripticm Dinner 3. NAC-W Hold-Up— Penny Drive Two other pamphlets are in this envelope with this bulletin and they give you infractions how to conduct ^ Penny Drive and also give some suggestions on the sub scription dinner and the public meeting Read these carefully. General Instruction It is well to approach the Mayor of your city and get his endorse ment of your effort and make pub licity in the local papers so that all citizens will know positively that on May 27 your workers will knock at their doors for one pen ny. That may also be taken from pedestrians as you pass them in tho street. Some persons in our drive stood on busy corners and gathered their pennies that way. Advertise This is the keynote to the suc cess of the penny drive. Adver tise. It makes it positively simple arid saves the explanation that people want when .they give as sistance to any cause. If the citizens of your town havo been informed so that they know that on Saturday, May 27, some of the members will call at their doors and ask for one penny, they will be ready and your solici tors will have little or no talking to do. In most cases the person answering the door will say, “Here are pennies for everyone in our family; we have been waiting for you to call.” Begin now and advertise in your papers; use some hand bills if you care to. Let the announcement ap pear in the papers as many times as possible. Say something in the paper about the Penny Drive for at least three weeks befotre it comes off. Advertise the effort as the “N. A. C. W. HOLD-UP”. Let the public know that we are out to hold up the public for this penny. Organize Make all your plans definite. Begin to organize for the NACW Hold-up. Use paper and pencil and make your plans and do not trust your memory for all the details that are needed in connection with this effort. Write it all down and then go to your plans once they are made. Try to have at least fifty work ers; more if you can get them. Urge the club women to set aside i/his day May 27 for the Penny Drive Try to persuade them to get their home duties ahead set aside this day and give it entirely to raising funds for the National. Have a special meeting place and a time to start for the Penny Drive. In large cities it would be well to have more than one cen tral meeting place so that the workers would not have to walk too far from their centers of acti vity. Two persons working the same street together are company for each ocher. Ten blocks out one street, then turn and work ten blocks hack on the next parallel street to the central meeting place is a good and fair territory for one person to cover in the momng and a similar amount in the afternoon. A bright colored badge worn by the workers adds to the success ocf the effort It could be made of paper holding some such informa tion as this > N. A. C. W HOLD-UP A PENNY FROM EVERY CITIZEN Now are we ready, if so, let’s go. The other two pamphlets give definite instructions as to how to conduct the Penny Drive and sug gestions about the public meeting and the subscription dinner. Do all three of the efforts and see if you will not have reason for rejoicing. Send in your money as you get your pennies counted. Start your preparation at once. Enlist every woman you can to help you. Send for any of the materials that you want This bul letin comes to you from Sallie W. Stewart, 800 Lincoln Avenue, who is not yet quite walking without crutches but who drop all these impediments and run around Bos ton if we get definite and active co-operation from the women of the National Meet in Boston --nOn ... ..... NAVAL NOTES “Did you know that American Naval Commanders were expected to catch slave dhips on the Afri can coast that) were equipped with steam propulsion, while our Navy ships had no power except sail. Some of them wrote protests to the Secretary of the Navy . When a man enlists in the Navy he is furnished with a complete outfit of clothing valued at about $100. This outfit is furnished him free and he is required to keep it in condition, and replace the articles as they wear out, or are lost or destroyed Massachusetts has furnished more Secretaries of the Navy than any other state. The Coast Guard constitutes a part of the military forces of the United Sjates, operating under the Treasury Department in times of peace, and as a part of the Na vy in time of war, or when the President shall so drect , The first" steel ship of domestic manufacture for our Navy was built in 1885; it was in commission for 36 years. BUS TRAVEL BARGAIN THE BARGAIN SALE SIGN GOES UP ABOUT APRIL 15th Whoever heard of a bargain sale of bus transportation? And yet, that is just what starts on or about April 15 of this year— and continues until October 28. There’s only one price, too, in this sale. The figures of $69.95 are almost magical when one considers what that much money will buy. Think of it....on about April 15 any Trailway Ticket Agent will be able to supply you with a Trail ways ticket which enables you to travel on Trailways Streamliner from your home town to either San Francisco’s Gulden (jat-c Ex position or to the New York World's Fair.... then all the way across America to the other World's Fair, then back to your home town all for $69.96! That’s a fair offer, isn’t it But that’s not all otf the story! You are also offeited the choice of routes. Between your home town and first World’s Fair you decide to visit, there are undoubtedly several routes over which you may travel. There are some, but very few, restrictions as to routes and a wide choice is available. The same thing applies to routes be tween the two World’s Fairs and the return to your home town from the last Fair you visit. Let’s just go on such a trip and see what $69.95 will do. Suppose we say we live at Dal las, Texas and want to visit the Golden Gate Exposition first. Having a choice of routes between Dallas and Los Angeles, why not choose the finest of them all and go by way of Albuquerque, the Painted Desert, the Petrified For CHICAGO FURNITURE COMPANY “Where Thrifty Folks Buy” Furniture, Rugs, Floor Cover ings & Stoves JA. 4111 1833-35 N. 24th Evening Phone WE. 2261 Folks!

Then on to Los Angeles For several dollars to pay hotel accommodations and a dollar or two for sightseeing, we can stop over in Los Angeles for a couple days, visit HoUywtqod and fche Beaches and perhaps take*** boat trip to Catalna Island. Then we journey in air condi tioned coaches on up through the famous San Joaqujn Valley, through fig and olive orchards over beautiful highways the moun tains and on to San. Francisco and the Golden Gates Exposition. For as little as $8.75 we can spend three days in San Francisco and havo everything but meals fur nished—hotel room with private bath, sightseeing an admissions to the Fair. leaving San Fmncisco, our ■ Trailways bus takes us to Salt Lake City where a dollar or so may well be spent in seeing the sights of this great Mormon capi tal. At Salt Dake City we are told we can go east via Denv“*: or Cheyenne Since the mountains appeal to us, we go straight through the heart of Rockies past the Grand I.<ake district and over Berthoud Pass or over the magni ficent Chief Ouray Highway by way of Grand Junction. We view the most magnificent mountain scenery in America and arrive in Denver the Mile High City. Surely Denver merits a stopover and some sightseeing. Then we proceed east by a short route to Chicago, and if you haven’t seen Chicago before you must see it. Between Chicago and New i ork we are offered optional routes by way \of Detroit, Niagara Fulls and Buffalo, or, if time is press ing, over a shorter route by way of Cleveland and Harrisburg, or over still another beautiful route via Pittsburgh, In New York City we arrive right in the heart of things at the Tmilways Depot in tho Times Square area.
