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

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

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

Make a note NOW to get a bottle of this

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.

'Insdructtons and Final Appeal
The time for the NACW Hold
up is May 1 4to 27. 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

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

additional takers side trip to view
the mighty spectacle of the Grand
Canyon. A day will suffice to
make the round trip. 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. For as
little as $13.75 we can spend three
days in New York and again have
everything furnished except meals.
Hotel room, sightseeing tour of
New York City, admissions to the
Fair Grounds are all included.
Having concluded our visit at
the New York World’s Fair, we
are offered a choice of several
routes returning ito Dallas land
choose a very scenic route which
takes us to Philadelphia, Wash
ington, through Virginiu, and the
Garolinaa, to Chattanooga and
Memphis, From Memphis we
choose a routing through Little
Rock, Hot Springs, Shreveport and
back to our own home town of
Dallas.
In all we have traveled over
7000 miles It has cost less than
a penny a mile for transporta
tion!
