Navy Moves Huge Dry Dock from U. S. to Hawaii
Beginning her voyage down the Mississippi, through the Panama Canal
and across the Pacific to Hawaii, this 6,000-ton floating dry dock, pictured
at New Orleans, will strengthen U. S. Navy defenses at Honolulu. All
but a few of the navy's largest warships can then be repaired at the
island instead of having to make the long voyage back U> the main

general property front, the gain more
than offsetting the loss recorded in
1939 Poplar Point led the county in
percentage gain for personal proper
ty listings and was one of four of the
ten districts to report gains in both
real and personal listings. Griffins,
Hear Grass and Robersonville were
the other three townships to show no
losses in either their personal or
real listings. Cross Roads was the
only district in the county to show
decreases in values for both types of
values and the real estate loss was..j
so small that it could not be reduced
to percentages. Goose Nest barely
missed getting in the increase col-,
unins, the loss in real holdings there i
being too small for accurate figur- |
ing on a percentage basis.
In the real estate column, William

increase of 1.4 per cent over 1939
listings. Robersonville came through

I OPPOSITION
v /
Just as politics was beg inning
to warm up in county, state and
nation, a flare up comes in the
war to place the candidates
somewhat in the background.
War news occupied the box-car
headlines, and voters instead of
talking politics and political pos
sibilities began discussing war
and Germany's latest rape at
tempt.
The fact that Roosevelt led
Garner in a western poll yester
day 7 to 1 was hardly mentioned
in the news as against the hap
penings in Scandinavia. Wash
ington was busy calling confer
ences as a direct result of the
events in Europe, and financial
and diplomatic subjects com
manded most of the attention.
What the conference in Washing
ton today will do is a matter of
speculation, but the trend of the
American thought is to lend all
possible financial aid in a "stop
Hitler" movement.
Conflagration Now
Anticipated Along
The Western Front
(Continued from page one)
mg according to plans.
Before accurate reports from the
sea battles could be had, the center
of speculation shifted to other fronts
including the one on the West and in
the Balkans. An attack of far-reach
ing proportions is nervously ant-hd
pated on the Western Front, but the
French there declare they are ready.
H.ili'it; 1'iillnig lip bHtft- than n
lion men. Other counties are adding
to their forces and leaves have been
cancelled. Present events are indi
cative of a conflagration that is like
ly to sweep the whole of Europe.
Today, air and naval battles con
tinued to rage. England is said to
h a ve bom bed a German naval base
with telling effect and to have dam
aged a railway center in Germany.
Germany, in retaliation, threatens to
pay back in double measure.
Official circles in Washington are
urging the country to take the news
from the war fronts calmly. Despite
that plea, Americans are more pro
nounced in their denunciation of
Hitler and his policies of aggression.
News of the developments is eager
ly awaited well into the late hours
of the night, and it is apparent that
the feeling of hatred for Hitler is
being aggravated to a greater extent
than official Washington really real
ized .

In filing the complaint, the plain
i tiffs said, "It is self evident that a
situation as that which has arisen in
the Church of God in Christ in Rob

I true members of said church, and
that it is fundamental to their relig
