Installs New Officers
Rev.D.L. Jones Speaks
, Today ha been set. aside for
reports of the year's work end the
Installation of officers.
One year ago I was very happy
ever too honor you bestowed; upon
me by electing me your president,
and very f earlur of the conseqences
Now my year as president is notary
history It Is time to tally up the
score. i .
Let us compare- our journey
together this past year in Rotary
to a supply convoy to Europe. Last
July we sailed out to sea, a
f If ten ship convoy- .our speed was
' governed by each ship for we stay,
ed together. , We couldn't have
ever reached port if everything bad
ben, left up to the commander, the
president. For you can't run a
convoy of many ships by Just plot-
ting the course. It takes team-
- work, or to borrow from the
' British, "Combined Operations."
First, you must have a "cargo",
and in war times naturally it must
'be essential materials to aid the
-war effort. This means navigators,
- who plot the course and shoot the
sun for the exact position. It takes
destroyers with eagle-eyed men to
. watch the waves for periscopes
. and the clouds for enemy bombers;
gunners Who can shoot straight;
- engineers to keep the machinery
well oiled and steam up; electric
ians and mechanics who can make
- repairs while at sea; cooks and
quartermasters to care for the
. needs of the crew; clerks, pursers
audi radio men to handle the
. records,, money an d communi
cations. -
As we sailed along new ships
Joined our convoy others dropped
out, som e transf ered from our
' oonvoy to active jduty Jut we "kept
OSr,dellvered the goods,and have
tojturned to our home port. "
a few minutes we will set
. On another Journey. This time
with a new commander, a new
set of officers, but with a veteran
crew. ' We can profit by our
experience and stamj ready to
again put "Service before Self' to
' make the coming - year's Journey
r even more successful.
The success of the Kotary . Club
this past year was not due to any
one man, but to each member
' cooperating with all the others in
all oar club efforts. Now let's see
what we did accomplish t - '
1. Support to the war effort
Two of our members volunteered
- their service and Joined the armed
forces:- Finn Lee went In the
v Marines and Iltd Huie was conv
. misloned in the army. .
Every member of the club took
an active part and holds a position
In the Warsaw Civilian Defense
'.-program
The club sponsored a scrap drive
.collecting about twenty tons of
. scrap, raising $155.84 for the
civilian defense effort In First Aid
work.
Bojtarlan Finn Lee gave two
1 shows at the Duplin Theatre
charging scrap for admission, the
proceeds of the sale going to
Civilian Defense.
The members of this club bought
over $25,000 worth of War Bonds
during the year. .
We purchased 20,000 cigarettes and
sent them to our over-seas service

least 8 years.
We had lS.hundred per cent me
etings and attendance average of
98.47 per cent
In order to "have 'reached this
past year's attendance record, we
have had some members who have
not missed a single meting. As I
go out of office, it la my desire to
not only recognize these Rotariani
but to stimulate Individual atten
dance in the future. Therefore, I
am presenting the Warsaw Rotary

the year to be engraved on me

To Our Readers
You have, no doubt observed
that we are having troubles in the
printing office, along with every
one else's trouble, hence your pa
per is smaller and reaches you la
ter. We feel that you are due some
explanation and we certainly ap
preciate the patience our subscrib
ers have had towards us.
' About two months ago our lin
otype operator left , for a job In
Charlotte. We have tried in vain
to find one, but it seems that it
cannot be done. Had it not been
for the Mount Olive Tribune and
the Golds boro News-Argus helping
us out it would have been impos
sible for us to have gotten a pa
per out even every two weeks, and
we wish to publicly thank them.
The outlook " appears brighter
now, as E. J. Nazelrod, formerly
employed by the Wells-Cates Lum
ber company, has joined our staff
and is attempting to learn to op
erate the linotype. It takes a good
while for-a person to learn the ma
chine and sometimes several years
to master it but we feel that if
you will bear with us a few more
weeks we will be back on regular
schedule. J. R Grady.

TIMELY INFORMATION
FOR VACATIONS OP
PLEASURE TRIPS
Long vacations involving the use
of private automobiles for travel
on already overcrowded bus, train
and inland' boat facilities are
"out" for the duration or are to
be drastically curtailed. Of course
usit?7 nip tires and gasoline for
such trips to the mountains, sea
'iit1?, or lakes is very definitely
discouraged. In the Eastern short,
aga States, it U prohibited. Our
com.Tion t.-anportation facilities
are being tx:4 to the limit. Troop
movements and other military
travel already are raising new
peaks. More than 2,000,000 troops
i ir.onth a e being; shifted about
and the njmber' is reaidily iro
rrasing. Troop transportation alone re
nuires 'mcr? than one-half of the
Iillman Sleepers and nearly one
half of our railroad day coaches.
Ar.other giv-t mass of men of our
A.imoJ iFurce Jtiravel about pn
fmlougihig. it is estimated that a
soljier transfers from one place
to another about eight times from
the time of his entry on duty un
til he embarks for overseas.
It has been estimated tihat 856
passer.tger cars, 82 baigtgiage oars
ar.tt mure than 900 freight cars
aie requir d to move an infantry
division of 15,000 men and their
equipment. Movement of an r
moroi division and its vehicle of
war requires 75 trains of from 28
to 45 ears each.
T avel of people on business di
lectly and vitally connected with
the war also is increasing as the
tempo of our military (production
rises. In addition, there is the ex
tra 'Jemand for seats on the trains
rA buses thrown on our trans
port services by the rationing of
.gasoline to save rubber tires and
by t:e critical gasoline shortage
n the eait. .' f r
Coirnlicating all this is the fact
that there wull be fewer, trains
and! busea this ' summer. : Usual
supplementary summer rail ser
vice won't be operated this year.
No new passenger trains or inter
:!ty buses ar being built because
Lhe limited supplies of materials
ire being put to better use In

time for high wages and loafing
the balance of the time. f
G. E Jones, county farm agent
presented the farm labor problems
and the lack of needed labor for
housing crops in some sections of
the county.
AIT citizens of the county are
being urged through the county
papers to report all loafers or va
grants to the law enforcement of
ficials or to a member of the
"work or fight" committee.
A number of persons have al
ready been tried and convicted on
vagrancy charges in the county
and then loaf the rest of the time,
enjoying what luxuries those high
wages will buy, while others are
laboring from daybreak to dark
and then on into the hours of the
night. . .
Where is our patriotism T
"Breathes there a man with soul
so dead, who never to himself hath
said, 'This is my own, my native
land'?" Unless we defend and save
our native land it will not be ours
long and everyone must roll up his
sleeves, make sacrifices and do his
part.
Tuesday night the "Work or
Fight" committee for this county
met in the court house and dis
cussed ways and means to see that
everyone In Duplin county does his '
or her part Among other things
it was suggested that every per
son in our county should feel it hi
or her obligation to boys "over
yonder" to report to law enforcing
officers in the county any person
known to be loafing or just work
ing part time. There is a law; it's
a law against vagrancy And loaf
ing, at this time is vagrancy it
there ever was such a thing. J.
