Church Members Ex, >ress Thanks In dedicating their new house of worship last Sunday, the Macedonia Church of Christ members, were not unmindful of the ? nci a?..g? v i material aid so graciously t xtended by members of other denominations and other friends from all walks of life. "We sincerely appreciate the ef forts and support of everyone who so willingly participated in our church building program and who e ncour aged us with kind words and mater ial deeds and contributions." a rep resentative of the congregation said, adding that there was gnat satisfac tion in and cause for rejoicing when a people in a community and others in nearby sections could join togeth er their efforts and support with their material possessions an under taking for the promotion of Christ's way of life and everything that is good in the sight of the Creator and righteous men In recognition <>t the aid lib* r ally extended, the Macedonia Church of Christ membership extends a most cordial and hearty welcome to all men to share the spiritual benefits id fellowships of the chui' i?at any rid all times Home And Contents Destroyed l?\ Fire Here Tuesday Ni'dit (Continued from page one) could move to Washington, fired th< house, possibly without realizing the seriousness of the act The little fel low entered the home a short time after 9:00 o'clock and went to his room.

Daylight Saving Is Nothing to Grumble \!?oiit. Writer Says (ioun ami Human* Should Be Patriotic Knough to Adopt New Schedule However dark the situation might be at getting-up time1 next Monday morning. Miss Dorothy Knox, writ ing in her Charlotte News daily col umn. "I Believe Everything" says, in effect that daylight saving time ;s nothing to grumble about and goes on to look at the bright side. Miss Knox says, in part Bring on your day-light saving? I love it I wake up early and get sleepy rurly Pardon me for men tioning it." said the Managing Edi tor with genteel brutality, "but all jtild people do." j A youthful member of The News' staff, now in the Army, used to groan every time he saw me wheeling along tin stieel befoic nuOIV ui em rgy." he'd say The truth of the matter was that he had much more than I. we merely used it at different hours I put out from 8 A M to 4 P M . and then I'm whip ped He didn't get started until 8 P M . but he could whoop it up until 4AM Daylight saving makes my whole day pleasanter. I don't have to lie there waiting for time to get up I can get my work done while the day is still fresh. I love long twilights. And I can get to bed before I'm un conscious from fatigue. Why I may be able to hold out to hear Elmer Davis j As far as I can figure out. the only i creatures who will be irked by day I light saving time are the night-owls and the cows. Folks who are night owls will sit up anyway, and that leaves only the cows And I'm going to speak to the cows about it. I ask d a country boy why the farmers objected to daylight saving and he said because the cows refused to push the clock back an hour. They ?re used to being milked at 4 A. M. and refuse to give at 3 A. M . in spite of the clock saying it's four. "What makes the cows so stubborn about it?" I asked. "Oh, it's just habit," said the country boy If the guy wasn't kidding.me, a lot of cows had better change their habits Of all hang-overs from the (Jay Nineties, a cow is it. Back in the days before ice:boxes. it was neces ary for folks to get fresh milk be fore breakfast every morning. So it was a wonderful thing for cows to cooperate and shoot the works at 4 A M But them days are over What difference docs it make now what time the milk goes in the refrigera tor"' Why should milk trucks go rat tling and banging around at 5 A. M ? Every person on our street takes [milk from u diffeienl dairy. And all milk is noisy. It seems to be about I the noisiest food we have. Well, why j leant' it be boisterous later in the |morning or in the afternoon? Willi ome dairyman please tell me why a | cow insists upon being milked be fore daylight? I have a feeling 11 don't understand the facts of life. When. I was a kid milk was deliv red twice a day Thi n they cut I |down and began delivering it once day. in the morning. Why can't it Ibe delivered now in the afternoon? | S on could just go ahead and deliver it ly the afternoon and say nothing to the cows about it. I can under stand why a cow has to bo milked twice a day to keep her from busting her brassiere But would she know the difference if her milk was d? liv en d .(ft, f the afternoon milking, in stead of after the morning milking? How smart is a cow anyhow? Couldn't you 'make her wait ten minutes later to be milked every day. and gradually shift her sched ule'' I can't bear to think about Am-1 erica having millions of discontent-1 ed cows Don't you think if you ex plained the situation to them, and told them that if we didn't lick Hit ler and the Japs they'd be chopped up lor-steaks to-feed the Axis, that they'd be patriotic enough to adopt daylight saving time? Lots of us I will have to adjust ourselves to [changed situations. Why can't the | cows? |Sini|>le Air Raid Instruction Are Cited In Leaflet! (Continued from page one) Keep away from windows.

Assistant Civilian Defense Officer Will Observe Compliance (Continued from page one) heard today, several of the towns in the district have not made any defi nite plans for participating in the test, but they are urged to arrange the necessary signals and be ready to comply With the order to be flashed some time between eight and ten i o clock next Monday night. ' The attention of local people is di- ' rected to the special civilian defense ordinance passed by the Williamston Board of Commissioners earlier this Week and which appeared in public print last Tuesday They are requir ed by law to follow the instructions set forth in the ordinance during the test blackout just as though German and Japanese bombers were operat ing directly over their heads. School Principals Back Book Drive Meeting here yesterday afternoon principals of the several schools pledged their support to the victory book drive scheduled in the county for next week. The school men will urge their pupils to contribute books and deliver them to the schools for distribution among the men in the armed services. Tentative plans were also discuss ed for promoting the sale of war savings stamps .the group agreeing that a prize should be given the school or grade making the largest purchases between now and the end of the school term. Appearing before the meeting a j representative of the WPA stated that a movement is underway to consolidate the individual school lunch room gardens into one big gar den. The proposal, according to one report heard after the meeting, was not favorably considered by the school men, one stating that it was economically unsound, impossible, and a foolish procedure if not absurd!

Luth er Peel, who resigned several months ago to accept the ap pointive office of Martin County tax collector. Japanese Drive In Pacific Continues Toward the South 1 French soil during three years in the first World's war. the traveler was optimistic over the final ouL come of the war, "but it will take several years, possibly five, to win back all that has been lost already," he said. General Douglas MacArthur and his men, the heroes of the war to date, are having it easy for the im mediate present after repulsing num bers of bloody attacks. Further to the ixiuth, large concentrations of Jap troops were reported moving in to Malaya apparently to take part in the siege of Singapore. The Japs have advanced in Burma, but the de fenders are still confident. The movement of Chinese troops on a large scale has been reported, and important developments for the Al lies are hoped for and expected. While the Japs continue their southward movement, the Germans continue their trek westward over Napoleon's road at the strong bid ding of the indomitable Russians Addressing the Russian people yes terday, President Michael Kalinin said that the hour was near when all of Russia would be free of the Ger man hordes. He added that Hitler's I dream of conquest "now is pursuing him like a black shadow" across the snowy and frozen battlefields of Russia. The greatly augmented Red army, he said, now is approaching the bor ders of White Russia, Estonia, Lat via and Lithuania, while in the south i "every day more occupied places in the Ukraine return to their country." In some sectors the Germans have been hurled back 175 miles since the , mighty counter-offensive began at the gates of Moscow early in Decern- I her, and this, "despite a fierce fight for every inch of ground," he said. As rapidly as General MacArthur 1 and his fighters wipe them out, the , Japanese send more soldiers to the ; Philippines, a late report stating that large movements were being center - I ed in that area. The Japs may hold numerical strength in the air nver Rangoon in Burma, but they are really paying a big price in hanging around the British and American volunteer pi lots. Ten Jap planes were downed and ten others were damaged in re cent fighting there. In Libya, the Germans are still | holding the initiative, late reports in dicating that they have pushed the | British back to within 100 miles of the Egyptian border. | America's war expansion program I is being echoed on two fronts today, I late reports slating that American iaircraft is being used, presumably by Russians, on the central front in Russia against the retreating Ger mans, and in the Pacific area where fighter planes are scoring successes 'in the defense of the Dutch Indies. While still operating off the Atlan- | tic coast. German submarines are apparently slowing down. However, | the destruction of an oil tanker off i the Canadian coast was reported to- | day. Six men were picked up after more than 55 hours in an open life boat. Forty-two men were reported missing. Reports coming from the Japs and claiming the destruction of two Dutch destroyers and an American cruiser were given little credence to day. $ County Agricultural Leaders And Others Hold Meeting Here ???
