Oxford Orphanage

Some Of Its Members Have

Valor
The Oxford Orphanage at Oxford,
has a record of seventy years of ser
vice to the children of North Carolina.
Over five thousand have been cared
for and trained. Its graduates and
former pupils are in all walks of life
end there is no record of a former
pupil having been convicted and sen
tenced for committing a major crime.
It is the eldest Orphanage in the
State and receives children other than
those of membership of the supporting
order.
At the present time less than fifty
per cent of the population of the Or
phanage is of Masonic parentage. The
home possesses valuable buildings,
grounds and equipment and has had
no operating deficit for several years.
The annual budget of the Orphan
.is" calls for an expenditure of $170,-!
aoo.OO. This provides shelter, cloth
ing, and food, recreation, heat, light,
books, school supplies, health pro
gram, staff of trained workers, voca
tional training in several departments,
laundry, repairs and upkeep to
grounds, buildings and equipment,
and experienced case work for a fam
ily of 313 children.
Superintendent C. K. Proctor an
nounces that the sum of $10,000.00 is
needed this year for operating ex
penses in order to balance the budget.
The Oxford Orphanage is more than
a philanthropy it is an investment
in the lives of North Carolina boys
and girls who would not otherwise

It is an opportunity today for North
Carolina citizens to express in a sub
stantial way their desire to help oth
ers. The orphanages of the State use the
Thanksgiving season as an occasion to
appeal to the citizens of the State for
much needed assistance. The Super
intendent of the Oxford Orphanage
announces that the home is open for
visitors each day, and hundreds of
North Carolina citizens visit this his
toric spot every year.

In a statement on the WAC enlist
ment campaign made to the News
Journal yesterday Mayor N. L. Me
Fadyen said:
"The Woman's Army Corps is put
ting on a campaign for enlistment in
Hoke county in connection with one
in progress throughout the nation. I
have become somewhat familiar with
the purposes and duties of the women
in the army and I endorse this drive
and will give it my full support. We
know that the women of the army
are replacing thousands of men now
in comparatively inactive work at
camps and in offices who are being
released for combat service.
"Mrs. W. L. Poole is the county en
listment chairman and persons who
are interested in securing information
concerning this branch of the service
may obtain it from Mrs. Poole. Hoke
county and Raeford are fortunate in
riaving Lt. Marjorie Conover in charge
of recruiting in this section, who
comes here each Saturday and makes
ter headquarters at the Post Office to
assist those wishing to enlist."

There has not been a time when
deer could not be found in the swamp
of Drowning creek, between the
mouth of Naked creek and Turnpike

other than that swamp.

"What, just "cut-a-cord" . . . why,
that's piker stuff out Rockflsh way,"
replied J. R. Check to County Agent
A. S. Knowles past week when the
agent talked to Mr. Cheek about get-
; ting out s me pulpwood to aid in the
i war effort.
j And, that's just about true, for Mr.
j Cheek set out this week on a ti.nbcr
I thinning project that will result in the
! production of from 10 to 15 car loads
of pulpwood.
Mr. Knowles has agreed to mark
the timber stand for Mr. Cheek and
workers are already rushing the coun
ty agent pretty hard for they started
cutting immediately he had marked
the first tree. They said they would
have the wood ready for loading on
the freight cars about as soon as he
completed the marking.
All persons having pulpwood for
sale, whether it be one cord or a
trainload may be sure of getting the
top market price if they contact Mr.
Knowles, let him know when it will be
ready to load and the quantity. It is
said that plenty of freight cars will
be made immediately available as
soon as a carlot or more is ready for
shipment. People having small lots
should cooperate with their neighbors
also cutting small lots so that suffici
ent can be cut to make a car load from
their community, Mr. Knowles said.

Whereas the Office of Defense Transportation has is
sued orders and regulations intended to promote effici
ent transportation during the national emergency and
has encouraged the formulation of plans which will con
serve motor vehicle equipment, materials, rubber tires
and gasoline we have adopted the following rule for de
livering coal.
Only full truck loads of coal will leave the yard, and in
no case shall an order be accepted for less than 1-2 ton.
No deliveries will be made in bags without extra charge,
nor will any deliveries be made where coal cannot be un
loaded directly from truck to bin.
At least one days notice will be required on orders for
less than truck load so that orders can be combined.
All orders other than established accounts shall be paid
for in advance before making delivery or unless definite
arrangements have been made to have some one present
at delivery point to make payment thus avoiding "call
backs" wasted manhours, rubber, gas, etc.
No deliveries to be made after working hours, or during
inclement weather... This can easily be avoided by
watching your coal pile and ordering before using the
last hopper.
We reserve the right to limit the amount of coal to be de
livered. The above rules will be followed except in emergencies.
