THURSDAY. SEPT. 9, 1943 Pf.E TWO THE NEWS . JOURNAL, RAEFORO, N. C 4 Gripsholm Is En Route To East To Embark 1,250 Americans Washington, pept. 3. The Exc;inge Liner Gripsholm put out from New York Harbor for the Orient yester day, carrying with her the high hopes of relatiyes buck home for a safe return with 1,250 American men, women and children who have been in Japanese hands since Pearl Har bor. The big Swedish Liner had aboard 1,330 Japanese civilians who are be ing repatriated. Another 173 Japan ese are to be picked up at Rio de Jeneito. It may be early December before the Americans being brought back may walk on the free soil of their homeland again. In the Gripsholm's hold are large quantities of relief supplies and me dicines of relief supplies and medi cines for American prisoners of war and civilians still interned in the Or ient, including the Philippines. Can't Mistake Her The ship was provided with bril liant electric lights, including some billboard-type retlectors projected over the side and shining on the hull. She travels without convoy, under guarantee ol' sate condiK't by all bel ligerents. Tremendous letters run the length Change In Name Of Hemp Restored By Court Order of the ship on each side spelling the one word "Diplomat." Bulbs form a huge crcs. The colors of neutral Sweden, yellow and blue, cover her and the Swedish flag is painted bright ly on the decks. Radios announce her position at intervals. This is one ship that tries to be con spicuous. The Gripsholm's voyage this time is to Mormugao, chief port of the Por tuguese Colony of Goa on the west coast of India. There, about Oct. 15, the exchange will take place, and about 1,250 United States nationals and some 250 nationals of the other American re publics and Canada will be picked up.

Citizans wanting the town's name changed won Round One last spring when the Municipal Board of Control granted the request for a change. Round Two came up in Wake county Superior Court when citizens who did m t want the name changed tiled a pe tition for a restraining order against ! the board.

Additional pickers are needed and all should help in harvesting this vital war crop. O Taxis in Jalisco, Mexico, are ration ed only 10 quarts of gasoline a day. Latest Greyhound Ads Feature Our State's Schools As the schools of our State reopen for the 1943-44 terms these institu tions of learning are, appropriately enough, made the subject of current Greyhound bus lines advertisements. Greyhound officials believe that there is no single phase of American life that is more worthy of fighting for than our school system and they are taking this opportunity to pay tribute to it publicly and .to urge others to think more about it. It is their idea that good education, like good transportation, tends to bring together the people of our com munity, our state and our nation makes better neighbors of us all. The part the buses play in supporting our school system by paying taxes and by transporting students and teach ers to schools is considerable. Future Greyhound advertisements in this series will "spotlight the farms of our State and its principal industries. O COTTON SEED Feeding cotton seed is a wasteful practice, say Extension livestock spe cialists at State College. They urge growers to deliver their cotton seed to the crushers and take cottonseed meal in exchange. O Eire has limited the number of pleats in women's skirts. Thanksgiving Date "All-Messed-up" Again For 1944 St. Louis, Sept. 3. An opinion from Attorney General Biddlc's office set tled the question today of the date of Thanksgiving in November, 1944, which is an unusual month with five Thursdays. The holiday "for Federal purposes" will ho the fourth Thursday, Novem ber 23, and not the fifth Thursday, November 30. Calendar printers here had been confused over the proper date, so Fred E. Winsor, executive vice-president of the Associated Printers and Lithographers of St. Louis, wrote Washington. A reply from Newman A. Town send, acting assistant solicitor gener al, said a law approved December 26, 1941, "for Federal purposes fixes Thanksgiving on the 'fourth Thurs day of November'." Townsend added, however, that state statutes on the question vary. That made Winsor wonder if some Governors would proclaim the last Thursday in November, just as a nu;nbcr did when President Roosevelt by executive decree moved Thanks giving a week ahead in 1939, 1940, and 1941. O Golf clubs in Scotland have been requested by the Government to plow un half of their 18-hole courses and one-third of the 9-hole courses and plant flax this year.
