Frank Davis Writes From Quantico, Va. Frank Davis, son of Mr. K. K. Davis. ? f Murphy, who is on duty with t'ncle Sam's Marines, has writ ten hi< aunt. Miss Hattie Palmer, that he expects to be at home for a furlough about the first of Septem ?er. Although not intended for pub lication, Frank's letter will be o! in terest to <>ur readers and members I nf the Marine Corps who serve. 1 dur- , injr the World War in that branch of the service. It was at Quantico. Va? where the : Marines were assembled prior t;> be- | ing transported overseas, and it was 1 here that the editor of The Scout i spent more than two months in train- ? ing for the "bit? show." Hack out in the mountains from Quantico is a whole battle ground (may be just a cow pasture now) consisting of first, second and third line and com munication trenches, machine gun nests, gun pits, tunnels, etc. ? a reg ular battle field ? which he helped build, and where, when completed, he was baptized with fire in a sham battle that took on the aspects of a real war ? and maybe there are oth er Marines in the county who re member this battle ground and went through this training also. Frank's letter follows: ' Quantico, Va. Dear Hattie, I should have answered your letter sooner but 1 was over in Mary land most of the time. There was a hunch practicing artillery and I have been running hack and forth most of the time. I expected as you know to come home thi 1st hut we have to send so many men to Camp Perry, I Ohio for the international rifle teams that they asked all the men to wait a while for leaves or furloughs. 1 could have gone t?> Camp Perry for the month hut 1 thought I would stay here and go home when everything gets quieter. 1 will he home the latter part of next month or the first of Oct. at least. It loks like something comes up everytime 2 plan anything hut I get along jutt fine here and everyone likes me. 1 have a good rec- j ord and naturally when they are send ing anyone on a trip chances are that ( 1 arp one of them. Oh yes, there are about 11 men going to Hiawaii and! I am one of them. We are leaving Nov. 7. Of course it is not certain when or who will go but they have picked the men and all have moved to a building to ourselves and are pre paring for the trip. We will be gone for six months spending two months in San Diego Cal. We are attending the Army, Navy and Marine Maneu vers. 1 am not certain whether 1 want to go yet. I may ask to stay here. 1 hope Mary Joe and the boys are getting along fine. Why hasn't Polly written and Dad didn't answer my last letter. What is Polly doing? Is Dad working any place? If so where? i 1 guess time.-, are hard there now. I don't know very much about the de | pression except what I hear. You never have written that you j were the one who was sending me the Scout but that is my guess. It sure is interesting and I enjoy it very much. That's one way 1 can check up on Dixie's activities. Her name is in all of them. It looks like theBayless boys are the high lights there now. Will you give Charles Dickey my ad dress and tell him to write me. 1 want to go hunting with him when I come home. Tell the boys we will have to find something to take the place of the Moon Bear when I come home. Tel) all the folks Hello for me. I will have to close now. Write me soon and tell me all the news.

I Carolina-Made Goods Are Among The Best ' Goods manufactured in North Car , oli.ia are equal to or superior to sim ilar goods ma.ie elsewhere according I to the unanimous opinion of merch ! ant? taking part in the second "Made Jin North Carolina" campaign held 'during the first week of June. "This | opinion c< mpletely upsets the old i dea held by some people that goods manufactured just around the corner are not equal to those made in some distant city" commented Director J. W. Harrclson of the state department of Conservation and Development, in whose department reports from merchants in regard to this campaign are now being received. During the special week in June goods made in North Carolina are la beled and displayed along with mer chandise from the four corners of the earth. Casual visitors, purchasers. I and experienced sales people thus | were given an opportunity to make ! all sorts of comparisons The answers j of merchants in summing up opinion Ion this point ranged all the way from the simple assertion that North Car olina-made goods compared favora bly with those made elsewhere to such aggressive statments as "None Superior", and "some of our best merchandise Is made in North Caro lina", according to Colonel Harrel son. As was the case in the first made in North Carolina week held in 1030, the event this year not only attract ed customers but put money in the tills of those who pushed the sale of home-made goods vigorously. Trade association secretaries and merchants alike were pleased with the way the campaign was this year and express ed a desire to see the movement con tinued "not only because it means a greater consumption of goods manu factured in the state but because it seems to be making our merchants and our consumers more state con scious", as one secretary wrote. Ideaa as to how to make the cam paign more effective another year differ somewhat according to the re plies coming to the department. Most merchants expressed the opin ion that more promotional work needs to be done by the manufactu rers. These suggestion may be sum med up in the following statements: more advertising, labelling all goods as being made in North Carolina, and taking steps to make manufact ured articles more readily available 'o wholesale and retail stores in the State, Some of the merchants were frank enough to say that relailers needed to put more force behind their efforts so as to make" Made in North Carolina Week" more interesting to buyers. "A simple placard placed in show window is not enough to build successful campaigns on", wrote one merchant. 1 Swiftest and Sloweit The swifest speed we know 1m that 1 of light; the slowest, that of the growth of the human thumb nail.
