PACE TWO
COAST GUARD
TRANSFERRED
TO U. S. NAVY
Effects Thousands
Of Persons On
N. C. Coast
WILL PERMIT UNIFIED
CONTROL OF VESSELS
Not unexpected along the
North Carolina coast where
the i' ;antls of families are con
netted directly or indirectly
wit.i the U. S. Coast Guard,
ca m e the announcement
from President Roosevelt at
Hvde Park (his temporary
White House) last Sunday
night that this branch of the
service during the present
War emergency has been trans
ferred to the Navy Department.
During the First World War the
Coast Guard was also transferred
to the U. S. Navy, however this
time it is including a more ex
panded service. The Executive or
der of Sunday night places not
only the Coast Guard, but this ser
vice's new unit, the U. S. Light
house Service under the Navy.
Excerpts from the Associated
Pi ess story originating at ilytie
Park follows:
Tho temporary White House an-r.eu'-
ed this action today without
offering any explanation of why
the c.ief executive had felt it nec-ess-.
y to take the step at this
tim . The coast guard operated
as it of the navy in the last
woi J war, in which the United
Stat s was a belligerent.
P.eviously Mr. Roosevelt had
transferred some coast guard ves
sels to the navy and assigned some
ninoi- naval craft to the coast
guard in exchange. The new or
ler dated yesterday, assigns the
entire coast guard, its equipment
and personnel, to the navy.
The coast guard, the executive
order said, "shall from this date,
until further orders, operate as a
,nt of the navy, subject to the
ders of the secretary of the
avy."
The transfer will permit a uni
'ied control of all armed Ameri
i.an vessels of any size and
trengthen the navy in exercising
ts guardianship over the western
Atlantic and the sea lanes to
1 .reenland and Iceland.
The coast guard, whose ranks
nd pay already were the same
is the navy's, had an average of
about 1,350 officers, 15,000 en
listed men and 4,000 civilian em
ployees during the last fiscal year.
Its equipment at that time includ
ed 267 cutters, 229 picket boats,
various auxiliary craft and 50 air
planes. 28 CLEAR DAYS

IN MEMORIAN
Of Our Baby, Woodie Hancock,
Who Died Nov. 9, 1940.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filled.
The loneliness in our hearts,
To all that we can bear,
We' miss him more each day,
Since God took him in his care.
Me is not dead not lost,
But gone on before,
He lives with us in memory,
And will forever more.
God needed another Angel,
To decorate his throne.
So he looked down from Heaven
And called our baby home.
A year has passed since that sad
day,
The baby we loved wag called
away.
God took him, it was His will,
But his precious memory lingers
still.
More and more each day we miss
him,
Friends may think the wound is
healed,
But they little know the sorrow,
That lives within our hearts con
cealed. Yes, God took nur liavling home,
it was His wi.l.
But in our hearts his memory

lar problems of accounting and

tions, governmental and munici

counting, estates and trusts, Fed
eral and state taxes, and credit in

total number of cattle fed during
the 1941-42 feeding season may
be smaller than a year earlier, re

Industry sales of pneumatic
farm service tires are expected to
reach an all-time high of $34,000,

Oscar Chadwick, special state

consequent impairment of edible

The first unofficial game cen

Gals-Look What
The Army Can Do
For The Sweetheart
Here's a tip for girls who are
waiting impatiently for a proposal
from a timid suitor. Encourage
him to join the Army.
A perusal of the records of the
43rd Field Artillery Battalion here
at Fort Jackkson indicates that six
months of Army life will spur the
most reticent swain to an immed
iate expression of his desire for
martial bliss. No less than seven
members of the Headquarters Mat
tery of the 43rd had the knot
tied while on recent furloughs.
It isn't that the boys dislike the
strictly military side of their Army
life. It's simply the matter of sew
ing buttons, washing clothes, mak
ing beds, and doing K. P. that
opens their eyes to the joys of liv
ing in a snug little nest, with the
"one and only" in constant at
tendance to keep the place proper
ly policed.
Pruning
After the leaves have fallen,
one month is about as good as an
other for pruning grapevines in
sections where -winter tempera
tures rarely drop lower than 10
degrees below zero.
Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis may develop If
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis Is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with anymedi
cine less potent than CreomuLsion
which goes right to the scat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote by special process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
