He stated that It was establish ed in February of this year pri marily to handle casualties before the men began coming back from overseas. Since April when those in the Mediterranean and Euro pean Areas are returned after eighteen months and those in the Pacific In two years it has been a real Reassignment Center. These men arrive through a port of em barkation through Reserve Sta tion for twenty-four hours and are then giyen a twenty-one day leave. After this leave the great problem is entertaining the men. They are at Camp Butner from 14 to 21 days, and while being processed the authorities try to get them away from Army rou tine as much as possible. They need home entertainment rather than group entertainment, possi bly two or three men in a group. All of the men want to go some where and this Is where the peo ple in the various towns can do their part. The invitations mast all come through a Special Ser vice officer. Col. Hanes further stated that in entertaining theso boys not to make r a lot of fancy preparations, as they would im mediately detect or suspect insin cerity and they want to be in a real American home, and want to feel at home. They want ordi nary home meals, served in the usual manner. The men are easy to entertan, he stated and they enjoy talking and being talked to. They are our own wholesome American boys and need to bd treated that way. Preceding this part of the speech he spoke of the physical condition of many of the men at the Reassignment Center, which was discussed later on. His speech was most enlighten ing and showed to the group just what they could do to help the boys get over a difficult period.

GREGG CHERRY Possibilities Open For Bus Statioo May Use Part of Franklin Hotel If Connecting Prob lems Can Be Arranged A Union Bus Station for Louis burg is becoming much more of n reality as time passes. Wed nesday Mr. W. G. Lascaster com pleted the purchase of the Frank lin Hotel property on Main Street and" soon announced that if the hall and dining room of the form ler hotel could be arranged accep table to the Bus Companies and the public he would offer same for such use. This could be made a very ac ceptable station. It would have an entrance from Main Street and also on the side and back. The main waiting rooms would be off the streets, but this condition ex ists in most other cases. If ar rangements can be made for a bus drive way over the property between the Hotel building and the Health Office then all loading and unloading could be made off the street and very convenient. And if this cannot be arranged it is also possible for the buses t<> drive to the rear of the building through the alley next to the Ar mory and load and unload from the back. This arrangement would neces sitate some convenience of get ting back to the street again. This is an opportunity which also presents a problem. But like all other opportunities ot value carry with them problems to be solved. It is believed and hoped a solution can be found and arrangements made for .in early opening ot a convenient and commodious Bus Station.
