I I PAGE 4 ! Here Is System That Protects, Details Of Plan Of Opera- ( tion Of Filter Center ,< Show How Civilians Are ' Being Safe-Guarded 111.- acting REGIONAL COM-1J MANDER of the Wilmington Information Center, today stressed the fact that every attempt is be- . ing made to infot 111 the public of ! the complete setup of the farflung Aircraft Warning System, j "It is important." he stated,/ "that the people of this area, one '' of the key points in our coastal de- ' fense system, understand the na-j. ture of our work, not only here but as it practiced in every hamlet along the Eastern Seaboard." !. The most important factor in' Air Defense is speed. This is ap-1 plied to the three phases of our work: - Obtaining information, \ J evaluating it. and acting upon it. j( The men who obtain our facts 1 for us. according to Lt. R. C. WEBB, are the civilian observers ' who have their posts spread out I at intervals of from five (5) top eight (8) miles along the coast p and inland for hundred of miles I Shifts of men and women, all vol- ' unteers, spend four-hour periods 1 on the alert at these posts twenty- ' four i"4i hours a day. They have 1 special telephone lines over which < they report every plane sighted > or heard in the air. They give ap- 1 proximate location of the plane, s its direction, how high it flies, i what type of ship it is. and the i number of planes in the flight.

There is never a minute that hey are left unmanned. All the information gathered )y these posts is immediately elephoned. a matter of seconds, lirect to the filter center. A filter enter is a centrally located spot n which there is a map of an ntire area. The "plottar." also a volunteer, at the filter board revives her information from the! 'spotter" and sets up a "fight ree" on the spot where the plane las been reported. This flight tree s a staff on which all the details mown about the flight are re:orded. A flight tree is nr* competed until three "spotters" have J lighted the same ship. Next to his tree is also plotted by arrows he course of the plane. Then their . nformatien is checked, one againit the other, for accuracy, and he ship is definitely plotted, and ts course ascertained. Working on a balcony overooking the filter board is a i froup of people whose job is to ransmit the information sorted! >ut on the filter board, to the I iigher center, the Information "enter, which is the local point or several filter centers. At the Information Center, the! arious filter boards are duplicat- j d and combined on an Operation) Soard. Again there is an over- j ooking balcony. Here there arc epresentatives of all agencies | laving jurisdiction over flights, i Phey are the Army, the Navy, ind the Civil Aeronautics Authort.v through whom all flights are leared. These men either identify i ship or classify it as an enemy. Automatically an unidentified ship s assumed to be hostile. Should such a flight be found, he vital information is available.

Qualified candidates are to be sent to one of the new aviation induction centers ? located in the southeast, at the Universities of Georgia and North Carolina for j three to four months of training devoted primarily to "toughening" them for their place in the Navy. Following this will come three months of primary flight training at a Naval Reserve aviation | base. Successfully completing this , second phase of their Navy education, the candidates will be {sent to the great Naval air sta| tions at either Pensacola, Florida or Corpus Christi, Texas, for approximately three months of adJvanced flight training. Guernsey Sales Slated For May {Dairy Farmers Will Be Given An Opportunity To Increase Their Contribuj tion To The "Food For Victory" Campaign I RALEIGH. Apr. 30. ? Dairy farmers will he given an opportunity to increase their contribution to the "food for victory" campaign and at the same time perpetuate the famous Guernsey breed by purchasing some of the | 111 animals to be offered at sales jat Quail Roost Farm near Durham, May 4, and at the Mountain Test Farm near Swannanoa on May 7, Dr. William Moore, secretary of the N. C. Guernsey Breeders Association, announced today. The sales will be conducted in cooperation with the State College Extension Service, the State Department of Agriculture, State j Division of Vocational Agriculture I and Breeders' Association. | At the Quail Roost sale eight j bulls, 15 cows, fresh or near [freshening, and 34 open and bred 'heifers, "all from famous, purebred stock," will be sold. At the Swannanoa sale, 37 cows, fresh or near freshening and 17 bred heifers from the best Guernsey herds will be offered for sale. TH Trained officers ascertain its probable objectives from the plotted course on the Information Center Board. They warn the various defense agencies, Antiaircraft artillery, civilian defense, and interceptor aviation. At this point the work is split up. The Army has its clearly defined field of action and it does not overlap with that of Civilian Defense. This entire process should not take over three (3) minutes or less. The magnitude of the problem and its complexity require split-second precision. The vital and indisponsable civilian force that provides the back-bone of this system is necessary. The Army can supply officers and men, but the people themselves must provide the "spotters" for the Observation Posts and the "plotters" for the filter centers. The basic strength of the entire organization rests in the Observation Posts and the Filter Boards. According to Lt. WEBB additional volunteers are still, needed for the Aircraft Warning System. Applications for volunteer work as "spotters" in Observation Posts may be made to your local County Director of A. W. S. Applications for volunteer work as "plotters" in the Wilmington, Charlotte, or Raleigh Filters Centers may be made through the Local Defense Council of these respective cities. Hi School Grads Now Eligible For Naval Aviation New Plan Of Recruiting Permits High School Graduates To Become Aviation Officers With Rank Of Ensign ATLANTA. Ga?A new plan of recruiting under which high school graduates may qualify to become aviation officers with the rank of Ensign of the U. S. Naval Reserve or Second Lieutenants in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve has been approved by the Navy Department. It marks the first time the Navy has offered young men with only a secondary education the opportunity to apply for flight training leading to commissioned officer status. Recruiting began in every section of the United States on Monday, April 27. and candidates between their 18th and 27th birthdays who have graduated from high school may apply. Recruiting officials said the new plan will NOT interfere in any way with the Class V-I program under which college students may enlist now to become aviation, deck or engineering officers and continue their education, at least until the end of the secdnd calendar year. Both the recruiting and training of the candidates will be carried out under Class V-5, hereto If you are an eligible buyer . . . one of the many classes of people qualified to buy a new motor car under the Government's rationing plan . . your Chevrolet dealer will be glad to help you get a Certificate of Purchase and f obtain delivery of your new car with a minimum of trouble and delay. 1k "North Carolina occupies an enviable position in the Nation to!day as an outstanding Guernsey breeding State," Dr. Moore commented. "Tar Heels are fortunate in being able to obtain animals from the best Guernsey blood lines in the world. Purchases of Guernsey stock of known ancestry constitute a sound investment that I will increase in value since importations from the war-torn Isle of Guernsey are now lost to the Nation. "Farmers recognize their responsibility in the 'food for victory' program, but after hostilities have ceased they must also share the responsibility of repopulating the world with purebred breeding animals." I GRAZING ANNUAL CROPS PROVES GOOD PRACTICE Grazing annual crops during the summer months as a supplement to permanent pasture is a practice that is proving highly profitable to dairymen throughout North Carolina, says A. C. Kimrey, Extension dairy specialist of N. C. State College. Although this practice is more general in the Eastern half of I the State than in the other half, it is gradually taking a firmer place in all counties. The crops most commonly used, Kimrey explained, are soybeans and sudan grass. The Biloxi soybean has proved one of the most sansraciory varieties necause 01 its superior ability to "come back" after being grazed heavily. The beans are planted in close rows as early as possible in the spring, and grazing in most parts of the State can be had by June 10. The beans are usually cultivated twice and a row of sudan grass seeded between the rows oi beans at the last cultivation. In the Piedmont section, the State College specialist pointed Don't Drive Away to look for Something until you try at Roland Simmons Service Station ash, n. c. Bl Authorized Bottler: J. W.

After tile small grain is harvested, the lespedeza ? is often used for grazing, much the same so 1 j soybeans in other sections.

MAY 23RD SET AS POPPY DAY (Continued from page 1) which contains the lines: : "In Flanders' Fields the poppies blow, I Between the crosses, row on row ? I Poppies were first worn in j America in New York City on] I November 10, 1918, the day be-1 fore the Armistice. They were j adopted as the official memorial I flower of The American Legion in 1920, and one of the first acts of 1 the American Legion Auxiliary when it was organized in 1921 was to name the poppy as its ( memorial flower. Poppy Day is observed in the I United States on the Saturday before Memorial day, when more than 13,000,000 of the little red flowers jare worn by patriotic citizens. ! The poppies are made of crepe ' paper by disabled war veterans I working in government hospitals land in poppy workrooms mainI tained by the Auxiliary. More than .$1,000,000 is contributed annually to the welfare of the war's living victims by the wearers of the poppy.

The 1940 census indicates that forty-six per cent of North Carolina's population, 1.642,947 persons of its 3,571,623 total population, is under 21 years of age. It is an accepted fact that higher birth rates occur in those counties and states with large ratios of farm population. North Carolina's farm popultaion percentage of 46.4 is therefore closely related to its youth population of 46 per cent under 21 years of age. HP JACKSON BEVERAGE CO. The highest per cent of total population under 21 years is found in Caswell county with 53.2 per cent and the lowest is almost next door in urban Durham county; with 38.2 per cent. Caswell ranks fourth in percentage of population classed as agricultural and Durham ranks ninety-eighth in this respect. Likewise, Greene county is third in youth population and first in farm population. In a world in which most nations, including (he United States, are steadily growing older, North Carolina's population is steadily growing younger. In fact, sixtyeight North Carolina counties exceed the state-wide average of 46 per cent under 21 years of age, and 25 counties have a youth population of 50 per cent or more.
