S. Department of Agriculture to devote his entire time to supervis ing the inspection service connected with the Peanut Surplus Removal Program in North Carolina. The service so far rendered by Mr West cott in this capacity has been of high order and entirely satisfactory, lite duties incident to the inspection serv ice multiplied so fast that it was necessary that Mr Westcott have as sistance and Mr C E. Holland, a designated representative of the U. S Department of Agriculture was called in and he has ably assisted Mr. Westcott in this work. It might be noted here that a North Carolina bank, namely, Wa chovia Bank aiid Trust Company, of Raleigh. N. C, has arranged and furnished every dollar paid to the growers for peanuts purchased and stored for the account of the asso ciation in North Carolina to date. The same bank will likely provide what ever funds that may be required by the association for purchasing pea nuts in North Carolina during the mainder of the purchasing period under the Peanut Surplus Removal Pn.gr.en Up to and including December 14 the association had purchased and stored in Virginia 14.500 tons, or the equivalent of 550,000 bags of farm en' slock peanuts for which it paid |0 peanut farmers >000,000."

THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . Grim facts i year ago ini* week support the current ap peal for careful driving this Christmas season. Two persons were killed, a third one was bad ly injured and the property dam age- reached a new high figure Those facts, while involving the lives and property of others, should carry a meaning for ev eryone whose privilege it is to drive a motor vehicle, walk or even hobble around on artificial limb6 Possibly there'll be accidents to mar the holiday season for some one, but it behooves every person, driver and pedestrian, to exercise greater care in driv ing and walking. Think of the dangers and the sorrows that are created by adding a little more speed, by mixing alcohol and gasoline, by thoughtless carelessness and indifference. Let's make this Christmas sea son a safe one on the road and in the home. During late afternoon of next week, pedestrians are more like ly to be run over than at any other time in the year. The following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corresponding weeks in this year and last and for each year to the present time. 50th Week Comparison Accidents Inj'd Killed Dam'ge 1940 1 1 0 $ 450 1939 412 410 Comparison To Date 1940 89 60 5 11,215 1939 71 60 10 12,535 ^ e Have Forgotten (>o<L Bishop Darst Declares In Sermon (Continued from page one) "PPT?dueled?the CKCivation.?He drove the trucks himself and two of his workers straddled the bomb.

All the while the acid within the | bomb was eating tow ards its explos , lve vitals. , A gas main broke, caught fire and | the bomb began to cook. The men kept digging. Finally they uncover ed the missel, polished like glass ' by its passage through the earth. Twice on the way up it slipped its tackles and slid back. An unlucky jar meant extinction for the entire squad. These men were not burrowing their way toward death to rescue women and children. There was no military objective to defend, no foe they could harm. The only thing in danger was an old soot-coated building, just an inanimate pile of masonry that may yet crash down before the German fury. They risk ed their lives for a symbol. The dome that still stands, the dome the people watch so prayerfully, covers two and a half centuries of England. Over the city it is like a flag flying above the bloody deck of a beleagu ered battleship. It may be shot away but it must not fall while there are STORK HOURS Beginning Thursday of this week, local stores will remain open ermines until 9 o'clock. The usual closing hours will be observed on Saturday. Merchants are still placing holiday foods on display direct from the manufacturers, and the number of shoppers is in creasing: daily. Local automobile owners are again asked to keep their cars off the streets when convenient to make more parking room for out-of-town shoppers. Infant Diet In Ltn-al Honpital On Sunday ? Richard P.
