Annual Membership
Drive To Begin
November 11
DR. F. E. HYDE IS
CHAPTER CHAIRMAN
Boys and girls in the
schools of Carteret County
have an opportunity to take
part in the national defense
program by enrolling in the
American Junior Red Cross,
Dr. F. E. Hyde, chairman of
the Beaufort Red Cross
Chapter, declared today.
Dr. Hyde said the Junior Red
Cross as the junior division of
membership is one of the many ac
tivities maintained by the Ameri
can Red Cross from membership
contributions received during its
annual Roll Call. This year the
Roll Call in this community will
be conducted from November 11
to 30, he said. The campaign for
enrollments of junior members
will be held at the same time in
every school in the area, he point
ed out.
"Through their own organiza
tion 0,750,000 Junior Red Cross
members in the nation are taking
a united stand for national pre
paredness behind their country's
quasi-official agency, the Ameri
can Red Cross," he said. "They
are partners in the work of their
government and of the adult Red
Cross organization."
Urging all schools in the city to
cooperate in the forthcoming en
rollment drive, Dr. Hyde said that
"this nationwide movement gives
the youth of our country an organ
ization of their own in which they
may .fulfill social responsibilities
and develop a regard for their fel
lows' welfare.
The current national program of
the organization he said is based
on the theme, "Citizenship Train
ing for Internal Defense." He add
ed that prominent educators have
acclaimed the Junior Red Cross as
a "workshop of citizenship in a
democracy at pear or at war."
Three main principles underlie
the organization's activities, he
added: promotion of positive
health, service to others, the state
and nation, and the fostering of
international understanding. Un-

By A. R. RICE
Just about everything in
the book conspired to give
Kinston Highs a very one
sided walloping of Beaufort
at the Lenoir city rriaay
night, the 17th long runs,
passes, fumbles, intercep
tions, injuries.
To say that Beaufort had a
chance after the first two minutes
of play would be to say that the
36 to 0 final score was unearned
for the winners completely out
played the visiting array every
second after Beaufort advanced
the opening kickoff to the enemy

the Kinston legions marching. The
13 to 0 half featured outstanding
offensive play by Moore and Woot

Balloons Escape
And Play Havoc
Two of the barrage balloons at
Camp DaDvis escaped from moor
ings this week during a southerly
gale and played havoc over a wide
area. The steel cables dragged by
the balloons not only, short-circuited
electric lines from Onslow
to Norfolk, but one report was
that the dangling cable picked up
a pig-pen down near Swansboro,
scattering swine here and yon,
and causing the owner to express
his opinion of runaway balloons.
Lowell Thomas, the famous com
mentator of radio, gave a very
concise report of the runway bal
loons during his Wednesday night
broadcasts.

FARMER PK'CE VICTORY
Louis J. Taber, National Grange
president, and other farm leaders
didn't come away empty-handed
from their conference with the Pres
ident on price control.
While he would not agree to their
proposal that wages be included in
the price control bill drafted by
Price Administrator Leon Hender
son, Roosevelt did mtke one impor
tant concession. Ke said he would
have no objection to a "parity aver
ages formula" being put in the bill
to limit the dumping of government
owned wheat and cotton when the
prices of these commodities threaten
to soar out of bounds.
Under this formula, to Insure
farmers an average parity price for
the full crop year, restrictions would
be placed on the amount of wheat
and cotton thai could be sold. Also,
the dumping could not begin until
prices reach certain above-parity
levels, to be worked out by Hender
son and the department of agricul
ture. Taber and his colleagues had to
do some fast talking to sell the Presi
dent on this plan. At first he seemed
in no mood to accept any changea
in the bill and told bis callers that
if they had come to debate the ques
tion of controlling farm prices they
were wasting their time.

inflationary trends " the President
