Safeguard Military
Secrets During War
Colonel John T. Kennedy, Com
manding Officer of Fort Bragg, N.
C, in an interview today warned
men in uniform and all civilians to
b? on the alert against spreading
dangerous rumors or divulging im
portant military and industrial se
crets.
A soldier's uniform, he said, should
make him immediately conscious of
his trust, "but the man in industry
is as vital to our defense as the sol
dier in the field, and any open dis
cussion of industrial secrets may be
as harmful to the safety of our coun
try as a revelation of troop move
ments."
"Learn to think before you speak,"
he urged, "especially if you are be
ing asked about the work you do or,
if a soldier, about military maneuv
ers. You can never be sure but that
the man or woman you are talking
to?though he appears to be a dyed
in the wool American?is working
for a foreign power. Therefore, al
ways be on the alert, because the
questions will seldom be direct but
Colonel Kennedy declared that
suspicious actions or persons should
be reported to the nearest FBI Field
Office or to the local police.
"Don't try to be an amateur
sleuth," he said.
Of equal importance, he declared,
is for civilians to help keep the
country sane and sensible by check

Applications now are being re- '
eived by county AAA offices for in
urance on the 1942 cotton crop, ac
ording to Tom Cornwell, Cleveland
lounty farmer and a member of the

This is the first time North Caro
na's 175,000 cotton producers have
een offered an opportunity to in
ure their yields in a plan similar to
te wheat crop insurance which has
een available for the past two years,
ornwell said.
"This insurance is issued by the
ederal Crop Insurance Corporation
nd affords the cotton producer an
pportunity to insure his yield eith
r for 75 per cent or 50 per cent of
is normal production in past years,"
ornwell said.
"The corporation is a non-profit
gency of the United States Depart
lg and double-checking any rumors
tat might possibly cause panic.
"The War Department has warn
d that false rumors to alarm the
eople are a recognized form of fifth
alumn activity." he added

SCHOOLS WERE ENDOWED BY
WILLS LONG BEFORE THE
Dt'KES WERE BORN
Boys and girls who think they do
lot like school today should have
lived two centuries ago, for in that
lay there were no public schools;
and when there were no public
ichools, there was no compulsory at
tendance law.
The chief educational opportuni
ties were institutions supported by
tuition and the work of tutors em
ployed in private homes. The
:hurches sponsored training in the
three "R's" hut were unable to do
much .
Some "flee schools" were estab
lished upon the death of wealthy
benevolent citizens. In our modern
jge it is popular for philanthropists
to endow colleges; but in colonial
North Carolina free elementary
schools- were provided by some' wills
which gave property for the estab
lishment of community schools. One
:>f the first wills of this nature es
tablishing a school in North Caro
lina was that of James Winwright of
Corp. John E. Mitchell, 21, Ron of
the late Brig. Gen. William E.
(Billy) Mitchell, said he would enter
the armored force officers' candidate
school at Fort Knox, Ky. lie said,
that like the air force, the armored
force is a fast moving arm of the
aenrice. Corp. Mitchell is at present
stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Administering the program were ap
propriated by Congress. Cotton and
wheat insurance is not designed to
make money for the farmer or the
corporation, but to serve, like fire
insurance, as partial " protection
against loss."
Premium rates are determined for
individual farms on the basis of
losses during the past seven years,
and these records now are available
in the county AAA offices.
He pointed out that the insurance
is available to anyone having an in
terest in a cotton crop, whether land
owner, tenant or sharecropper. In
surance taken by one person having
an InteiL'st in the nop, however, does
not have any effect on any other per
son interested in the same crop. An
applicant may choose insurance on
three-fourths or one-half of his
normal production, as he desires.
Premiums, it was pointed out, are
payable at the time the application is
signed or may be deducted from pay
ments due the applicant in 1942 for
compliance in the 1942 Agricultural
Conservation program in the same
manner as grant-of-aid costs are de
ducted.
In no case, he said, will produc
tion be insured on more than the cot
ton acreage allotted under the AAA
program. Deadline for filing appli
cations is March 15th.

Marines Keep Stars
And Stripes Flying
It is the custom of the United
States Marine Corps to raise the
Stars and Stripes at every station in
the morning at eight o'clock and re
main flying till sunset.
Three hours after the Marines at
Parris Island. S. C, and other east
roast naval stations have raised the
flag, other Marines at San Diego,
California, or other posts along the
Pacific seaboard present arms to the
colors as they arc hauled smartly to
the top of the flagstaff.
About two and a half hours later
the ceremony is repeated in the Ha
waiian Islands More than five hours
will have rolled around before the
[lag is raised by the Soldiers of the
-tea in the far off Philippines At vir
tually the same hour the Marines
tioist the Star-Spangled Banner at
Shanghai. Peiping and Tientsin. Chi
aa.
Several hours after the westward
march of daylight eatches the flut
tering folds of the Stan and Stripea
flying over American Conaulates in
the Near East and in Europe, and
when the sun has passed its zenith
in the Old World, the flag is again
Hung to the breeze on the Atlantic
seaboard
Thus the Stars and Stripes is al
way waving somewhere in the world
?a symbol of justice for those who
seek protection under its folds.
