M. on June 2nd, 1942, for the purpose of canvassing the returns of the primary election held on May 30th, 1942. "Present for the meeting were the chairman and the secretary. The majority being present, the board entered into the usual procedure of canvassing precinct returns in tabulating abstracts of same as requested by law. "The board having met and entered into the canvass was immediately interrupted to hear Mr. W. L. Farmer, attorney at law, wumingion, i\orui carolina, who appeared in behalf of Mr. Walter M. Stanaland, who was candidate for nomination to the State Senate, to file protest and petition to the board as granted in SubChapter Eight (8) of the election laws as amended including laws of 1939 of the State of North Carolina and all laws and articles pertaining thereto and more particularly Section One (1) under the aforesaid Sub-Chapter Eight (8): That the ballot boxes of Southport precinct and other precincts of Brunswick County should be impounded by the Boo d uj Elections and that a hearing be had and a recount be made of all precincts in the county so censored by the affiant. "The Board on hearing the petition made a motion to continue with the canvass in regular form, motion having been made and carried the board proceeded, whereupon Mr. Farmer, attorney for the petitioner, Walter M. Stanaland, entered protest as to the abstracting and certifications of returns until such time as a, hearing could be had on his petition. 'The Board acting under Section Forty-Five (45), Election Laws of North Carolina of 1939, Consolidated Statues 5989 of the North Carolina Code, ruled on mo' tion that it had the right to continue undisturbed in the abstract?ing and certification of returns ' and should do so as required by law, reserving as a matter of right the petitioners right to be heard on a date hereinafter to , be set.

Swain, of Shal- I lotte, was among those whom Bachelor of Science Degrees were conferred by Wake Forest College at their one hundred and eighth commencement exercises on May 25. Mr. Swain was one of the top ranking men of his class, and besides his scholastic achievement he has been a leader in the various student affairs. In 1939, he was elected to membership of Gamma Nu Iota, honorary pre-medical fraternity, and since that time he has held the office of president in the same organization. Mr. Swain has created many friendships both within and outside Wake Forest College. He has demonstrated fine promise in his work of becoming a member of the medical profession.

Major Oscar C. Tigner of the Wilmington, N. C. Information Center said yesterday. "The work of these civilians is an unheralded but vital part in our system of Air Defense," Major Tigner said. "On roof tops, on hill tops, on towers from Maine to Florida, these men and women maintain a 24 hour vigil scanning the skies for any aircraft passing overneaa. mey are nuuacwivca, and business men, veterans of other wars, and mothers and fathers of the boys in the air. All are devoting their spare time to the task of keeping our skies clean and free." The work of the spotter requires speed, precision and accuracy. The moment a plane or flight of planes appears on the horizon the observer must make several rapid calculations. He must estimate the number of planes, their type (whether single motored, bi-motored or multimotored), the altitude at which they are flying, their distance and position in relation to the Observation Post and the direction in which they are going. Once this is accomplished he must relay this information to the nearest Filter Center within fifteen sec-| onds if possible, by phone, (short wave radio or telegraph if no other means of communication is available). If the spotter phones he says, "Army Flash," into his transmitter. These words send his call skimming over an intricate cobweb of wires to the Filter Center. There are three ways by which his call may reach its destination. One is on a direct wire, and the other two are by complicated and devious routes, but all are put through within a matter of seconds. Thanks to our remarkable telephone facilities it would be practically impossible for the enemy to successfully disrupt this system of communication. At the other end of the line a imnAronnol sf/"\ {/ ?/ ? eoira " A t?_ U1 10I\, ouuai YWIVC oajo, my, Go Ahead Please.' Now the spotter gives his information in terse, cryptic terms. "Four. Multimotor High. Seen." Then he gives the code name of his Observation Post and continues, "Northeast. Ten. West." Translated this means that he has seen four multi-motored bombers flying high and that they were about ten miles northeast of his post flying west. Once the spotters message is received the complicated machinery of the Filter Center is set in motion. The first spotter's report along with the subsequent reports of other spotters in the path of the planes, is plotted on giant maps which are careful diagrams of the areas concerned. Representatives of the Arriy, Navy, and Civilian Aeronauties Authority then identify the planes as either Army, Navy, or civil(Continued On Page Four) urday's Pi County Commii W L I ! I I ? ?

Civilians Asked To Save Debris Civilians Asked To Turn Over Singnificant Objects j Found Along Seashore This Summer Officials of the Sixth Naval District today issued an appeal to all residents of coastal communities to turn over to the Navy any significant wreckage, equipment or supplies which may wash ashore from ships. This material, which may furnish the Navy vital information on the progress of the battle of the Atlantic, should be taken to a naval Intelligence office. In the event there is no Intelligence Office in the vicinity, the material should be turned in at any Naval office or Coast Guard Headquarters. The natural inclination of a person who finds wreckage or gear on a beach is to keep it as a souvenir, officials said, but this wreckage may be precisely the missing link of evidence which the Navy has been searching for, in order to obtain a complete pic 'ture of enemy activity. Consequently, it is the patriotic duty of all coastal residents to (Continued on page 4) imary Res isionere Bd. of / 9 I n "9 6 1 < ? | | 8 m 7 41 10l I? 37 27 18 37 68 95 61 57 25 48 86 149 49 21 12 18 65 33 347 312 37 42 378 348 6 7 4 4 16 12 6 6! 13 1 28 39 14* 74 17! 12 116 88 16 8 40 17 85 83 11 10 371 8 52 40 5 8' 17! 3 34 23 12 13 71 11 77 67 9 1 15! 0 27 22 19 13 100 24 94 57 3 3 36 0 13 16 10 8 40 10 14 21 6131 579! 4891 239|1163jllll OT i HED EVERY WEDNESDAY hWill 1 e Med School Ifr.

This meeting was call1 by the Office of Defense Tranlortation and the following points ere emphasized: 1. The shortage of tires, gasotie, and repair parts will become ore serious. 2. The total mileage for all irm cars and trucks can, and lould be reduced one half by roper cooperation and coordina on. 3. Farmers should organize to >operate and pool their hauling i an exchange basis. The following points were tak1 from an article written by Mr. . B. Genung, and published on iges 13, 14, and 15 of the May sue of the Agricultural Situaon. 1. One of the most serious lortages looming in this country -one which will intensify the lortage of many commodities? that of transportation. By the ill of 1942 the transportation roolem will be acute. 2. Many statistical calculations ive been made of the rubber situaon, including all the possibilities f reclaimed, synethetic, and othr rubber; but they all come back > the fact that there will be little r no more rubber for civilian res. When the present tires are one on our cars and motor rucks, there will be no more tor lost people, for a long while. As ne tires ^'o, so go the trucks. And tut irpias go, so goes the pri.ary transport system upon which le farmers of this country have ome to depend. 3. The main point that stands ut in this situation is '.hat it lust be impressed upon every irm car and motortruck owner tat this is a deadly serious probim: That virtually no more ruber !j in sight for tires; that his ruck is now just as good as its eakest tire; that he should be loking ahead to the day when his ruck will finally have to be set < side. 4. It is true that present reguitions permit a farmer to apply ir new tires or recaps, under ceriin conditions; and presumbly irmers will remain reasonably igh on the preferred list. But it i not to be expected that these ermissive regulations will add ny new rubber to the national tock-piie. When the day comes lat there is no more rubber for ny civilian users, the permission > buy will mean nothing. 5. A major necessity now is >r immediate organization, by | ical communities, of motortruck ansportation. But the vital neod i for some kind of organized aringement in every country neighorhood to "double up' on loads om farm to town and likewise n bringing supplies from town to >wn and likewise on bringing fxnm tniun fn farm an/i implies 11U1II luviii wvr iu<<u( ? ?* I >r errands and trips of all inds. a.
