Subscription Halm: 92.00 per year (In Advance) In Meniorlum PAUL DICKSON 1033 MRS. PAIX DICKSON. Editor Entered as second-class mail matter at tlie post office at Rae fcrd, N. C, under Act of March 3. 1870. Garbage Collection Many of the townsfolk are com plaining about the irregularity of the garbage collection in Raeford. (And row that we are recovering from a re cent severe cold we are beginning to realize that things are not what they should be in this matter.) Maybe it is not nice that we start giving suggestions to our new mayor almo t betore he gets into cffice and has had little opportunity to remedy the deplorable situation, but Mr. Mc Fayden: "How about getting the gar bage truck back to its regular func tions? The weather is powerful hot and several days accumulation of gar bage takes on a powerful and very un attractive fragrance when it is left about the front yards of the town's home i. You know, the collection regulations require the folks to place their gar bage cans at points most accessible to the truck, so most folk have to keep this smelly and un ightly mess at their front doors. With so many extra peo ple living in each houshold. the refuse that is not burnable accumulates at a rapid rate, and so da the flies, gnats, rat i and stray dogs not to mention the odors and the germs. To say that it is an odoriferous prac tice for the town to collect the stuff just eve-y now and then is being mild about an unsanitary and unheal thy c.nditi n. H.iw about some rcgu l.ir.'.y and an increase in the frequen cy oi 'he collection trip during the Pleasure Last proceedings. Farmers buying land now, should carefully consider the possibility of cash return over a long period of years, not just the value of a crop or two under present favorable markets. j If you don t remember the hard time. : of the Twenties and the harder times j of the early Thirties, Just get some good advice from older men who man aged to weather those conditions be- : fore paying fancy prices for acreages whose net incomes for thoe trying days are not available. O Need For Penny Brings A Paid-Up Subscription A few weeks ago we had a crack in this paper about fellows who didn't pay for their paper. This week vc are going to use the space to tell you about a fellow tht went to the other extreme and paid up his sub.eription. not because he has any great regard for the editor, or the paper, so he says, but because he found himself short financially and needed to raise a penny. We won't reveal the mb scriber's name because we might make a good subscriber like Ed. Mil ler mad and that would never do. A farmer from out south of town came into the post office in a hurry ' on Tuesday afternoon with a package I to mail. When he went to pay the 1 postage he found that he u as a penny 'short. He atked the clerk to wait a 1 minute and he would raise the neces- ' sary money. He came into this office; and announced that he wanted to pay i up his subscription. He asked if it would be all right if ' he made the check for $2.01, saying that he needed another penny to pay ' up the postage on a package. This is i our idea of going to extremes to raise a penny. We wish that more people would get out of similar predica- j ' ments in a like manner. Most days j i we can stand the pressure and will ' try to take care of larger amount; up to five cents.

"p. r. i'.cvo" to visit A.ir.t Hatt.e and )) sub'y deprive a man of a trip home on furlough after months of service or forego the visit in favor of the service man, or the civilian on war business. The same seat cannot ren- j der double service. The public mu t see that the war c. iv.es first. Organized troop movements by rail , are proceeding at the rate of over; 2.1)00.0(10 men a month. They require ! the constant service of over one-half j of all Pullman sleeping cars and of j nearly one-fourth (over 3,000) of all j day coaches. Soldiers make an average of eight rr.ove by railroad between induction ; and embarkation for service overseas. It takes 3o(i pa-enger cars, as well as ' 2 baggage cars and over 900 freight : cars, made up in 65 train to 111 ve an mt'anlry division of 1 0 0(10 men and; their equipment. Movement of an armored division and its vehicles re quires 75 trains of fr .m 23 to 45 cars each. Furlough travel on regularly scheduled passenger train- equals ap proximately the volume of organized troop travel. Both are to increase substantially during the tnths im mediately ahead. No r.v railroad; pa.-'.-er.Lcr cars or locomitives, and no, new inter-city bu es. are being con-.-true'ed. The-e are a few of the reasons why civilians arc being asked to limit their ; travel. r.g activities. It is no sacrifice : to limit your traveling to necessity if j it helpi your hoy get home on fur- , lough or speeds freight on which his j very hie may depend. 1 You're wondering why that air mail letter to the service t en overseas came back to you marked "postage due six cents "? It's a Federal regulation which ac went into effect on October 30. 1942. according to Postmaster D. Stanton Insco. and states that ' the rate of pos tage on air mail sent to and by mem bers of the armed lorees stationed outside the cor.t.nental United States i six cents on the half-ounce, instead of the usual six cents n the ounce." Therelore. any letter sent by air mail to an APO st.ition at San Fran cisco, Calif. New York. N. V., New 1)1 leans. La. Miami. Fla.. or Presqoe I.-1..1K1. Me., requires 12 lent, po luge, instead t six cents, per ounce. L t tors son! by air mail to the APO sta t.or. ..t Seattle. Vs:,.. require.-, only the regular jix-cem air mail rate per ounce, as the Seattle APO territory is included within the continental limit of this nation. j I'm.! recently, p, stoftiec workers ' have been dispatching to the APO sta- ' tions letters carrying insufficient po t age. and the due postage lias been collected upon delivery of the letters. A more recent regulation orders pos tal clerks to return such letters to the tender if a return address is available. Otherwise, the letter will be sent by regular mail. The DistincuMied Service Crof-s has hern awarded Naff Sgt. Doyle Kimmcry of Hunting on, Texas, for manning a fuh-nia-hine pun and returning the fire of low-Hying enemy planes during the Jap attack on Hirkam Field. When his ammunition has pone he ran from the rover of his trurk to pet more, and kejil firing until the truck a bombed. He fhowed bravery beyond the cull of duty. Figure out for yourflf how much you can imrst in War Swings beyond what you ore doinz now. ' POOLE'S MEDLEY By D. SCOTT POOLE were hone t. This "Work or Fight" program must have difinite plans. T,ands upon which crops may be grown, and the movement should have started soon er. Along these days, laborers have plenty of holidays spare time in which to tish, or read, go visiting, w here the distance is :ihort enough to walk. But few have gas to ride very far. For some years in the latter 80"s A. F. Page and sons hauled logs on tram cars on a tram road seven miles to a place a mile north of Pinehurst, and in 1886 A. F. Page put down iron rails to that place, and the naval stores, spirits of turpentine and rosin, met him in quantities. In 1888 the road was extended to West End. Two years later it was ex tended to Candor. That w as the ter- minal for :ix years. Then later, by . 1896 the railroad was to Troy and to ! Asheboro. It was then the "Aberdeen j and Asheboro Railroad. Two years : later the road was extended to Mount Gilead. A passenger coach was knocked to the rear of a freight train t accom- U. S.

Bill Gates w ill be on the mound as the Robins attempt to stop the Financier' five straight winning streak. O Mr. and Mrs. AJec Snead and son of Rockingham were Raeford vistors this week. The South entered the Civil War unprepared. They had but few train ed soldiers, no navy nor any money. They depended upon vim and cour age. Had the Confederacy provided for a sound currency sufficiently, the Loit Cause would not have been lost so early. M. C. McDonald, who died sudden ly Friday evening, July 2nd. was a farm boy, reared on McLendon's Creek about 6 miles from where he bought a large tract of land on credit, worked and paid for it, then built a town on part of it or did more to ward building a town than anybody- else in this part of the state. Jim Von Cannon, who helped Mc Donald build West End. died only a j few months ago. Both McDonald and Von Cannon were the architects of j their own fortune for a fact.

Until a few 1 n onths ago. there had been little ac- ' tivity on the farm land market, and prices were considered to be fair and equitable in the few tran fers that i were being made. . No ,v. lenders of money have made credit somewhat easier and there is a ! rising demand for farms. With the I demand for acreage the owners are raising their prices. Farm land can stand a slight rare in prices from what they were several years ago, but the sky-high prices which they reach ed at the time of the last war, during the unjustified boom in farm and pro duce, bankrupted many good farmers and left debts, which took years to clear up many through dispossession i w.r- 1 .1 iiimi ujiwt,ii miLji 11 1 ii-n un m innnnii iuirf,u 1 u if : V -if 1 'V ' 9 tiTi0iH..WKt t ' . rj- h tvh vmt wnt JO I r , , if-rth- BeiOHUAOv.mwt; "" '"''" ; - .wii " "!'g' i. - ,-7.. -uLV Kin mt too mnrs y7m " m with CtlOMwn 't 1 f Km IMMM"MJM ""wkk WJC.llu,, good clothes and good things to eat and drink could not be had by South ern people.
