Marines Forming Second WNC Unit RALEIGH ? The ranks of the Carolina Mountaineer Platoon have been filled and a second exclusively Tarheel unit, the Carolina Pied mont Platoon, is now being form ed, Major W. E. Brandon, Director of Marine Recruiting in North Carolina, announced today. The 75-man quota for the Caro lina Mountaineer Platoon was quickly filled by boys anxious to enter a unit made up exclusively of Tarheels. The platoon is sched uled to be called to active duty July 14 and travel to Parris Island, S Ci, to receive the famed Ma rine recruit training as a unit. More than two-thirds of the 75-man quota was filled by the Asheville recruiting station from boys in the mountain area. Carolina Piedmont Platoon, also with a 75-man quota, started forming two weeks ago and is rap idly filling its ranks. The Piedmont Platoon is scheduled to be called to active service in early August, and. like the Mountaineer unit, will travel to Parris Island as a unit to receive recruit training. It is hoped that a North Carolina Marine will serve as drill instruc tor for both platoons. Young men wishing to enlist in the Marine Corns and receive their recruit training with a unit made up of men from their home state are requested to contact their Ma rine Recruiter at tlje, .Po^t Office today. Like the Mountaineer unit, the Piedmont Platoon is offering North Carolinians a chance to be gin their military service with men having their own thoughts, likes and dislikes. Previously, men eft? listing in the Marine Corps were assigned to platoons at Parris Island made up of men from all over the eastern nart of the United States^-" Now a North Carolinian ran m?ke the conversion from civ ilian to military life with friends and neighbors.

Changing Conditions Dr. McGowan's Theme At Junaluska Sunday Practically every generation has j thought of its age as one of "bad I times." the Rev. Dr. Guy McGow 1 an. Birmingham, Ala., said Sun day at services in the Lake Juna i luska Methodist Assembly audi torium. "If we sum up benefits of Chris 1 tianity throughout 20 centuries it is evident that one of the chief contributions is turning bad times into good times," Dr. McGowan said. Today is perhaps the worst time of all. he added, but "the Christian Gospel can change conditions to day if Christians are so minded to ask God's help and put their whole selves into the task." Dr. McGowan is pastor of High lands Methodist Church in Birm ingham. He was the guest minister yesterday at both the morning and evening services at Lake Junalus ka. Lambs Bring High Prices In Pool Two hundred and fifty-three lambs sold for higher prices than usual in a Lamb Pool Saturday held at the Clyde Livestock Yard. Averaging in weight between 85 and 100 pounds 99 were graded choice and sold for 26Vfc cents per pound; 95 graded good at 23 | cents; 54 graded medium at 19 cents: and 5 graded common at ,.14 cents. Total sale came to over $5,000, and farmers were generally pleased because prices were higher than have been received in other mar kets. It was felt that the high grad ing and prices could be attributed to a. new system of creep-feeding tried recently by local farmers. It is expected that next year more farmers will take advantage of this supplementary feeding to raise their grade. There will be a final lamb pool early in August although a defin ite date has not yet been set. It is estimated there are around 400 active and many more inactive volcanoes in the world.
