Shipments of horses from the Midwest to the East have been nearly as large as usual. With many mechan ics serving Uncle Sam, owners of tracks and tractors are turning to the smithy for vital repairs. And with his Yankee ingenuity, the smith is keeping the horses shod and the me chanical farm equipment rolling. The blacksmith shop, in those hal cyon days a generation gone, was one of the centers of rural life. The sooty window panes were covered with spi der webs; the rough splintery floor was black and grimy; shoes of all si zes hung on the rafters overhead. One end of the smoky shop was a mon strous conglomeration of old wheels, broken cultivators, discarded horse shoes, pieces of wood, sections of ma chinery. Pervading all was the de lightful, mysterious pungent odor compounded of hoof parings, coal, dust, and the brackish water in which the red-hot shoes were glunged to be cooled. There are men. yes, and women too, sitting in city offices today who re member taking Buttercup and Daisy to the blacksmith for a set of shoes. They will be glad to know that the brawny smith in his blackened well worn leather apron is still sending showers of sparks through the air. Selected. O THE FORCE IN SYMPATHY "This Amazing America," the tech nicolor motion picture produced by the Greyhound Lines in 1940 to pro mote bus travel, is now serving a new and important purpose in ad vancing the country's international relations. The Office of War Information, at the request of the State Department, has obtained prints of the film for distribution in Russia. Initial show ings are planned for the American Embassy in Moscow, but unlike the films once presented by German counselor officials the picture will show the scenic wonders of America rather than the ruthless invasion of neutral countries. I Its title revised to North America ! by Bus, the film has already been j shown to more than a million per- 1 sons in South America under the sponsorship of the Office of the Co- ' ordinator of Inter-American Affairs, j These showings are still continuing , before audiences of several thousand I daily to foster the "Good Neighbor" 1 policy. j "This Amazing America" is a com- ! mercial film that features a scenic j tour of the United States in its plot. ; The places visited on the screen in clude Hollywood and Southern Cal., I San Francisco and the bay bridges, j California's Redwood highway.

Three members of the United States army, two lieutenants and a sergeant, were killed last night when the two- engined transport plane they were flying crashed about 100 yards from the city limits of Hope Mills. The crash occurred at 9:20 last night. Three bodies were recovered from the wreck. The plane was from Pope Field, Fort Bragg, according to latest information from the Fort Bragg pub lic relations office that contradicted an earlier report. Hope Mills citizens said the plane circled over the town several times flying very low, presumably trying to dodge the heavy storm then raging. A few minutes later they saw it nose dive and crash. The plane fell into a swampy area filled knee deep with water. Citizens of Hope Mills, Fayetteville and Fort Bragg authorities rushed to the scene and were still investigating the acci dent this afternoon. Military authorities restricted the zone this morning and conducted a closed investigation. The identity of the dead was not re leased at the time. The families of the dead will be notified before the released for publication. The plane was carrying only three persons. John Wemyss, city bureau of identification, stated that the plane caught tire after crashing and was badly burned. Wreckage was strewn about the area and tree tops were clipped by the falling plane. -O- Several Changes In Point Values The News-Journal Editor, family, and staff sorrowed with Mrs. Edwin Pickler over the loss of her father last Saturday. Mrs. Pickler. (Edith) has been the valuable bookkeeper in the News-Journal Off:ce since the death of the late Editor, Paul Dickson. Dur ing that time her father. C. J. Sea ford, often visited the office. His gen ial manner and keen sense of humor coupled with a disposition to tease, always made his visits welcome. We will miss him. Our sympathy is ex tended to Mrs. Seaford and the entire family. O A SAFE BET. It is no wonder that the Senate War Mobilization Committee in a recent report declared that the home front is "sagging dangerously." A free peo ple have found themselves shackled by bureaucratic red tape at almost ev ery turn. They try to increase production they try to get a war job they try to raise crops and in many instances they are slowed down or 'actually stopped by some restriction, decree or law that has so complicated our eco nomic life that a citizen used to doing things for himself is stumped by a multiplicity of bosses. Don't forget that the success of our war effort has been due to the drive of free private enterprise. Don't ex pect to hamstring that enterprise and not confuse and bewilder, and even destroy, the spirit of individual initi ative and independence which built, maintained and must perpetuate this nation if our country remains as we know it. Washington. July 28. Blue point rationing stamps for August will over lap the Sepetmber stamps by three weeks, remaining valid until Septem ber 20, acording to a new Office of Price Administration (OPA) ruling. Simultaneous with that announce ment last night. OPA listed several changes in point values which will be come effective August 1. These in cluded: Increases frozen fruits and berries from six to nine points; frozen green and lima beans, cut corn, peas and spinach from four to six points per pound; canned tomato juice at the rate of one point per pound, except for smaller cans up to 14 ounces which remain unchanged. Decreases frozen fruit juices from four to two points per pound. Canned or bottled beans are to be changed in various sizes, with some increases and some decreases, but the average will remain unchanged, OPA said. Investigation Of Coast Line Wreck -0- Secrelary of the Navy Knox has predicted a crude oil shortage within a year, and exhaustion in 14 to 20 years of present known supplies. Almost these same words were us ed during the last World War, and then the oil industry evolved new drilling methods, found new fields, greatly increased the products txken from crude oil. and gave our nation the greatest supply of oil products on record. There was incentive to do the job. If our lawmakers and regulators will but give the oil industry half a chance and all w a fair return for the risk involved, it is a safe bet that this country '. on't be out of oil in one yt'ar. r twenty years. Cut the red tape before an artificial shortage is crea'.ed. and give Ameri can enterprise a chance to meet any ' ererfiency. Any other policy will be! fatal to a nation that uses gasoline and ' oil products almost as freely as water. Don't spend your pay in competition wilh your nc-;h-bors lor scarce civilian Roods. Save, America, and vou will save America from black markets and runaway inflation. Buy more Bonds every payday. How many bonds? Figure it out yourself. Ration Book Mailing Is Still Under Way Charlotte, July 27. Approximate 8(10,000 of the new war ration books No. 3. remained at the OPA mailing center here today to be mailed resi dents of North Carolina. Aubrey Elliott, mailing supervisor, said there "is the barest possibility" mailing will be completed by Satur day, the deadline previously set for distributing the books, but "it seems now almost impossible." He added that if the mailing is not completed by Saturday, it will be "cleaned up" the first of next week. More than 3,000,000 of the new books r.lready have been distributed from the mailing center here, where a majority of the work is being done by volunteers. Rocky Mount, July 28. Atlantic Coast Line officials and two Interstate Commerce Commission Representa tives from Washington. D. C, are con ducting a detailed investigation here of the crash of two ACL passenger trains in Fayetteville last Saturday. Three persons were killed in the ac cident and local ACL offcials stated that Mrs. J. H. Sandor of Washington, D. C. died this morning in a Fayette ville hospital from injuries sustained in the accident. Representing the ICC are Lloyd N. Rictiey and W. E. Lewis of Washing ton. D. C. ACL officials expressed the opinion that it would be about too weeks befre the investigation is com pletad. War Bonds should mean something more to you than Just "a good sound invest ment."
