Tru man declared in giving his en dorsement to the interfaith ob servance of National Family Week. May 5-12. throughout the United States and Canada This was expressed in a letter to Dr T T Swearingen. director of adult work and family life of the International Council of Religious Education, and secretary of an interfaith committee planning the observance. Other members of the committee are the Rev Edgar Schmiedeler. Washington, D C.. di rector of the Family Life Bureau I of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, and Rabbi Ahron Ophev. New York, assistant to the President of the Synagogue Coun cil of America. Asserting that the home must be maintained or our democracy will perish, President Truman ex pressed his belief that the finding of homes is one of the paramount problems facing the returned veterans. "I have therefore appealed lo the churches and synagogues which administered so faithfully to ser vice men and women during hostili ties to continue their efforts now that the fighting is over." he said. "Representatives of Catholic. Pro testant and Jewish faiths agreed to cooperate in this laudable purpose and a nationwide 'Share the Hous ing' effort was launched in aid of our veterans. "I hope this campaign will be given added impetus during the observance by our Jewish breth ren and Protestant and Catholic Christians of National Family Week. I can think of no more practical exemplification of our faith in that grand old institution, the American home." Red Cross To Aide Famine Emergency Plan A community-wide program to assist in the fight Against famine abroad has been instituted by Cherokee county chapter. American Red Cross. "You can save a life if you share your food." said Miss Addie Mae Cooke, chairman of Cherokee coun ty chapter, in announcing the emergency program She pointed out that every man, woman, and child in Cherokee county can help the Red Cross assist in the Presi dent's Famine Emergency Commit tee merely by conserving on wheats and oils, rather than by actually giving up portions of food. Unless food reaches the peoples of Eupore and Asia in quantity be tween now and their fall harvest time, millions will fall victim to starvation and disease. Miss Cooke stated. The local chapter is joining with the American National Red i Cross in emphasizing family con servation of food and elimination o( unnecessary waste. "Wheat and edible fats are f.hc things most needed," reported the chairman, "and if every family in cur nation saved only a half-slice ol bread a day, 500,000 loaves of bread per day will be on hand. If each of us saves one teaspoonful of fat or oil. it adds up to a million pounds in a single day." i i Only 875.241 E-Bonds were dated | May, 1941. for a thtal of 126.940 000, issue price.

Opportunity Week For Veterans It's Veterans' Opportunity Week in North Carolina. Governor R Gregg Cherry pro claimed the week as a period in which North Carolina's citizens are asked to give special thought to the matter of providing jobs and job-training opportunities for the state's 330,000 veterans of World War II. In a formal proclamation issued last week, the Governor pointed out that North Carolina's veterans are "refitting themselves for peace after fighting to a victorious con clusion the greatest of all wars" and that many thousands of them "stand in the need of vocational rehabilitation as they seek to re establish themselves in the eco nomic and social life of their com munities." Governor Cherry called on all citizens "to make victory meaning ful for our veterans by providing opportunity for them to achieve their foxhole dreams." "If we content ourselves with good intentions rather than the good works needed to accomplish this." the Governor declared, "then we shall not only dishonor the promises held out to our veterans. 1 ut we shall also deny ourselves the opportunity of achieving in peace the greatness we showed in war. "Let us meet the challenge of today by providing jobs and job training for our veterans ? by in vesting in their future and our own." The need for additional on-the job training facilities for the state's ex-servicemen was relected in figures released by the Veterans Administration showing that more disabled veterans are awaiting placement than are actually in training. J. D. DeRamus. manager of the Veterans Administration regional office in Winston-Salem, reported that a survey last week showed 704 disabled veterans enrolled in on the-job training, compared with 746 whose placement was pending. Chief reason for this backlog, he said, was lack of training facilities. Declaring that these veterans, disabled in the service of their I county, faced an uncertain future because of this condition, De Kamus appealed to North Carolina I citizens to establish on-the-job training programs in their fac tories. shops, and stores. The VA official expressed the belief that many employers had failed to establish training pro grams for veterans only because they were not familiar with the problem. He urged them to write the Veterans Administration in Winston-Salem, or to contact the office nearest them for complete details. VOTE FOR DALLAS M. REESE fob MAYOR u Nr _ Murphy, N. C.
