THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1943 THE NEWS JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C PAGE NINE POOLE'S MEDLEY Br D. SCOTT POOLE You remember "way back when NeiU McGill opened his store at 9 o'clock every morning. Now you go over town at 9:30 and you see folks hurrying down the streets to get to work. Main street was one of the sandy est roads in the country but Raeford had sidewalks in those days, and these were along all the streets. John Moore of the street committee put a carload of 4-inch drain pipe across those side walks In the town. I saw Raeford first In 1902. I passed where the town was later built once before that date. The Robeson-Cumberland line was across the centre of Raeford Lumber Co.'s lumberyard. There used to be an echo morn ings and evenings when there was real calm. Any loud noise rever berated. You might stand on a high hill, speak loudly, and you would distinctly hear your own words re peated. We boys used to sing; and between Jl EM fflLE YOU LEARN $19.00 WEEKLY Girls and Mem (Draft Exempt) Join an Essential Industry One That Will Continue to Operate After The War We Will Teaah You a Trade and Pay You While You Are Being Trained "r. Aberdeen Hosiery Mills Aberdeen, N. C. There' "Sheer" Excitement In These New Dresses There's one especially for you in white jer sey splashed in vivid color, or two-piece shepherd tcheck spuns, or perhaps one of those stunning two-piece frocks with a butch' er linen jacket and a full-pleated polka-dot spun skirt. $7.95 to $25.00 M 111 The London Shop STEIN BROS. verses of our hymns listen to the echo. Other boys in the neighbor hood sang often in the cool of the day as they plowed or hoed. You used to hear colored men or women sing often as they worked. When Raeford was incorporated in 1901, there were ISO inhabitants. The school campus was enclosed with a board fence. "All tome folks lack of being a theological camtnir U bell anJ a board fenee 1 have heaid folks say. McLsuchlin Co. was the J. W. Mc Lauchlin Co., and theirs was a two- story store. When the present build ing was erected about 1911 that oH store was torn down and changed into cottages. Every store was a small framed building. McNeill Bros., oc cupied one two-story, but others one story. Since we came here in 1905 there have been several fires, and the greatest loss by fire was since the town was rebuilt of brick. $120,000 it was estimated went up In smoke one night. There is a certain amount of man ual labor which must be performed each and every day, and he is a slacker who avoids his prorata part in it. Love your neighbor as your self solves the whole problem. The Japs are increasing their force and efforts in the Southwest Pacific. They are on the aggressive at this time. The Washington Government promises more fighting force. All persons should produce all it takes to support themselves, and more. That will prevent a famine. If the United States of America does not wake up, they will starve before another year rolls by. Any young ablebodied person should support ten. This is one year when canning should take on new life, and restock the country. It vegetables are al lowed to go to waste, some one is guilty of criminal negligence. The Germans seem to be weaken ning somewhat. The Allies started in to clean up the Germans first, then turn on the Japs. It makes the task easier on the fighting forces this way. The stronger the fighting, the great er saving of manpower is possible. If old feeble persona are working, and they are, the young and strong should be asshamed of idleness. Folks, white and black, I have thought, believed when they got an education they would be free from labor of all kinds. Sad is the day when folks are ed u cited away from useful labor. There is true di gritty in labor, and no true dignity without it The bet ter edacated people the more Intel llgently they direct their efforts. A superiority complex distinguish es some people they must abandon when they become candidates for men campaign yean. 1 recall one biggoted man. who will in all likely hood speak to me when he comes to Raeford this year. I remember those good old folks who -ised to be kind So me when 1 was a child, and I also remember those who were unkind. I hold no hard feelings against the latter class. I still think they were foolish. Navy Pre-Flight Cadets Claim Heartiest Appetites Chapel Hill, N. C Navy Fledg lings at the U. S. Navy Pre-Flight School claim to be among Uncle Sam's most physically fit, and boast the heartiest appetites. The Pre-Flight cadets consume approximately 5,000 calories a day of good wholesome food. The body building, energy-yielding diet is heavy in carbohydrates, which are "essential to men as active as these cadets." Proteins, fats, and mineral substances are allocated to promote the greatest energy. Fried, greasy foods are omitted, as are fancy high ly-spiced foods. Emphasis is placed on the sanitary methods of preparing and serving the food. In line with this procedure, paper cups are used for coffee and other hot drinks, and for the daily pint of milk per meal. O Cigarettes, Food Girls, Movies, Does your soldier, coming home on furlough, have any special ideas about how things ought to be at home? You bet he does! And they're not what you'd expect, either. In camp, of course, he doesn't have much chance to express his individ ual preferences, except in the mat ter of the cigarettes he buys at his Post Exchange or Canteen. But, when he's on furlough, here's a list (partial, of course) of what Johnny Doughboy prefers: , Girls: As always, some like 'em tall and some like 'em short, some like 'em blonde and some like 'em dark; but one thing they all agree on: a girl should be feminine. No iman nish, tailored outfits; no slacks, please; and especially no semi-mil itary clothes. Frills and furbelows that's the way to please the man on furlough. Movies: Nothing grim, thanks. He likes musicals, and service adven ture stories with good rousing action, and plenty of comic interludes. Cigarettes: Here's one place where a soldier doesnt have to wait till he goes on furlough to express his preference. According to actual sales records right at th'! Post Ex ;kanges and Canteens, where every soldier tan buy the brand of cigar ettes he likes, the favorite with men in the Army (and in the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines as well) is Camel. Food: This one will astonish vet erans of the first World War, with memories of "beans-for-breakfast, beans-for-lunch, and beans-for-dln-ner-too" but today's furloughlng soldier doesn't get off the train with visions of pies, steaks, or alads. He is served all those right in camp. He'll be happy with any kind of good food, BUT he wants it served on separate plates. Here's why: In the Army, every thing is heaped onto one plate. His mess tray has compartments, to be sure, but they aren't always suffici ent of a barrier to keep his salad out of his mashed potatoes, and his steak: away from his ice cream. So you see separate plates! Another thing to keep in mind after Johnny Doughboy has gone back to camp, (and all those dishes are washed up!) one gift from home that is always sure to bring cheers from Johnny is a cartoon of cigar ettes. Of course, be sure you send him his favorite brand. Tuck in a card, and your cigarette dealer will be glad to wrap up your gift of Cam els for mailing.
