SCOTT POOLE Somo of my ri-ndrrs will remem Iht the bluebirds. The extremely cold weather in January and the first cold weather on February 14, 1899 froze out those pretty birds. The weather in January and the first part of February, 1899, was very much Ike it was this year so far. There was sleet and cold rains, but on a Saturday morning, February nth 1SQ9 tho wind rose from the Northwest, and dark clouds began to rise with the wind. It Hpvploned into a :now storm the nearest like a blizzard of any snow I ever saw. I naa reaa oi blizzards out West. We never had a blizzard a here unless that was one February, 1899. Winter of my boyhood days there were great flocks of snowbirds all about our yard and barnlot, and there were a few sparrows also not the;e English aparrows we have now, but a sparrow which dwelt wiih the snowbirds. We boys used to trap both, dress, broil and eat them. W have had quite a good deal of cold weather this winter, and this will kill out many of the insects which destroy our, young garden truck. There are less boll weevil after a cold winter no matter what the ctfticultural writers say;. 1942 Financial Report Of Hoke County Of Chapter American Red Cross Balance on January 1, 1!M'.! .$9.11.37 CASH RECEIVED Memberships . 23.00 Junior lied Cross 135.29 Contributions to War Relief 865.05 Donations from Sale of Scrap 20.50 Repayment of Loans to Service Men and Families 242.50 Repayment of Hosp.tal Bills 42.00 Miscellaneous (receipts from baseball game, sale of flr t aid and home nursing textbooks, etc.- 253.50 I was at the Presbyterian General Assembly in 1921, and commission, ers from all over the South were there, and as the boll weevil had just arrived in our section, I wished to learn something about the intru der. Those gentlemen told me fight ing the boll weevil was no good and did not pay. They :aid after a cold winter we might expect pretty Rood crops, and light crops alter nvld winters. San Francisco, i An Army pr'vate walked into the I lobby of the Clilt Hotel a few nights ' ago and asked for a room. ! I'm sony," said the clerk, '-but all there is left is one lar.se double room with twin beds." j The disappointed private was ' about to try si.::e p':.ce e! e u -hen ' thrnngh the door strode a Colonel.' With him was a bellboy carryins i seveial pieces of heavy luggaee. "May have a room, please?" he a-ked the clerk. i The clerk repeated that the hotel was full, except for the double room. ! The Colonel glanced along the! desk and noticed the private just as I ne was turning to go. He hesitated a moment. Then he said. "How about you, son? Have you got a place to sleep?" The private snapped to attention. "No. sir," he answered. 'Will you double up with me?" asked the Colonel. "I would be very happy to, sir." replied the private. The Colonel signed the reg ster. motioned to the private and togeth er the two, the officer and the sol dier, walked toward the elevator. The Colonel was snilnig to h'msilf, as if to say, "He'd share his foxhole with me, in Guadalcanal. I'm glad I got the chance to share fomenting with him, even if it's only a room for the night, in San Francisco. This ought to be a good fruit year. There is no sign of a peach blooi yet.

And now our only intention is to quote one of the leading Southern editors, Virginius D.ibney, of the Richmond Times-Dispatch which has just thrown out use of Pegler's column. In it's January issue, the Times-D s pulrh said: "Mr. Pegler may hate the program (of Vice-President Wallace) . . . But he cannot misrepre ent another man in this newspaper by placing in his mouth words he did not utter, or by chargin? him w th beliefs he does not hold, and then fall back on free dom of speech ...

We do not know wliat cold weather is here. The government now has all the longl.orned cattle in a park, to -ave then from extinction. A man came to Raeford a few years ago who had horns nine feet long. (Where did he locate? Ed.) Those cattle could no cross one of our swamps. I don't reckon it is a very refined subject but lice and ticks have grown beautifully less and fewer in number. I do not remember when I saw any such thing. So lets stop at that. The stock law did that for our section. The above occurred Monday, but ', reinforced American; will even the, score and it will not stop at even. , The crucial hour of battle between the Allied Nations and Germans is at hand, and the victory means , much.

LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM AFRICA SOLDIERS' CENTER IN RAEFORD This is a dreadful scourge sent upon tire world. It w 11 not recover from the effects of this war in cen turies. The lo ses are great, and they are in many instances, irre trievable losses. This column said about two weeks ago that the thermometers in Wyo ming dropped to 66 below zero at times out there. It appeared in the paper 6 below 7.ero. Some difference. (Continued Fro n Page One I've seen the town, bought some souvenirs, admired the native cus toms anl habits but wouldn't trust the natives farther than you can throw a kick. I would not like to stay here for the duration because I'd likely be cheated out of every everything. When I last saw you. we moved to another camp in the states and naturally Min, my wife, went back : to her home. I saw her a few time.; before I left, but she didn't know where I was, how or when I got . there nor when I left, but by now I think she has some idea. So. here I am in Africa, but my mind and heart tonight are in Rae ford with you people. In some ways this camp rerinds me of ours there. No, there's no Soldiers' Center here nor USO Club, but these things are something of the past now. At thi;; stage of the game we consider our selves SOLDIERS. That is why I'm writing to you for I want you to know and feel that I've not forgotten the favors you did for me nor the birthday parly you mad; for my wife, Min, and the other couple Ihere on that occasion I was always happy lo come to the Center for you both were al ways so kind and considerate and my off were made very pleasant by coming over to chat, read and wr'te in that comfortable lounge. Permit, me again to wish both of you a very happy and victorious New Year, and the others, Aris, Tiny Looper, etc., who made the stay of 2nd Armored such a pleasant one. May the soldiers in the days to come find as much fun, uleasurc and happiness there as I did. Good luck and keep up the g od work. Very sincerely, MONROE MYERS. P. S. Best regards to Mr. Baker of Hoke Drug Co. and Mr. and Mrs I Davis of the 5 and 10 cent Store.
