Red Cross Aides Work Under Fire At U. S. Outposts Washingtmr.DC?P'areo with ma gigantic task of administering to the needs of thousands of civilians, har assed and in many cases made home less by the destruction wrought by Japanese bombs in the Philippines and Hawaii, American Red Cross workers have stood the test. In a brief cable to Chairman Nor man H. Davis, Charles Forster, man ager of the Philippine Red Cross, re ported, "Our emergency services have stood the test. Our staff are showing discipline, loyalty and cour age." To aid in this heroic enterprise, the Red Cross cabled $75,000 to Hawaii and $100,000 to Philippine chapters. Even before the funds could be sent, Red Cross workers had accom plished a seemingly impossible task in the face of war conditions. Chair man Davis announced that in the Philippines 48,000 sacks of cracked wheat and large quantities of surgi cal dressing had already been dis tributed by the Red Cross In addition, a staff of five sent from the national staff to aid in the emergency will be augmented, he said. From Hawaii, where Red Cross forces are led by Alfred Castle, chair man of the Hawaii Red Cross, reports show that Red Cross workers organ ized 12 first aid stations, each con taining 50 beds, completely equip and first aid personnel. A refugee population in the Phil ippine Islands of nearly 10,000 was provided for in 40 settlements, prev iously designated by the Red Cross as evacuation and shelter areas. But behind these cold facts loom ed glorious tales of heroic work car ried on by trained Red Cross work ers. In Manila, Rear Admiral Fran cis Rockwell, Commandant of the Sixteenth Naval District, praised the bravery of Red Cross personnel. Some of the workers, he said, were on the job, administering relief to the wounded and dying even as Jap anese dive bombers roared overhead during the initial raids ???

Bjyfr Stanli/ria TAR HEEL ASSEMBLYMEN ONCE < "TOOK TO THE BUSHES" Carolina woods have become very . familiar within recent years. The j copper stills, mash and necessary equipment for distilling "rum" and | "corn" constituted an important part 1 of the real story of the "bushes" dur ing the heyday of prohibition. Those same bushes have made the head lines because of their convenience as a place of refuge for men who escape from the hands of the law Special seasons like Christmas take men to the woods in search of trees and dec orative shrubs. However, Carolina bushes became a real part of the history of the state when some legislators disappeared. It was during the gubernatorial term of George Burrington, in 1739, that the work of Chief Justice Smith was very unpopular. There was a deter mination to impeach him. The As sembly was scheduled to meet in New Bern in November. That meet ing is known in history as the "Bush Assembly," and this is the story be hind the name.

A local un i ting could have been held, and would have been held, had it not h< en for a po litical trick resulting from the gov ernor*?; management.

Twenty-two member? would not ('(institute a legal assem bly. Thus, four of the twenty six men who first appeared were per suaded to "take to the hushes" and absent themselves. After waiting a few days for a quorum, a majority of the council advised the governor to dissolve the Assembly. -The ad vice was accepted This prevented an organization, and the impending impeachment was thus avoided.

February \re Best Months To Prune Shrubs >nfc of thought <>n the quujsjion: When is the best time, to prune shrubbery? James G Weaver, floriculturist of N.

This is con irai\ t.? the usual advice; which is to prtihe in the spring after the flow . r fade oft spring flowering plants. \Veav? r ays that pruning in Jan .-re a?vr February stimulates new i.i wth and increases, vigor Wounds ( an < d by Jhe cut heal more quick ly and this helps to keep the plant (free .front diseases.; The floriculturist savs that the principal objection to winter prun i mg t - t.liat wood is cut. out that would 1 flow > r. ui i few weeks This is nol > eii?)us. lie saul. if care is taken.
