C: motion for enlisted men has been reduced by almost half, thus en abling men to reach the higher ranks in about half the time it formerly took. The Navy Recruiters state that the Navy does not expect to use any selective service men as they will have enough voluntary en listments to bring the Navy up to its authorized strength, 172,300 men by December Ist, this year. In this connection, the recruiters advise any young man who is thinking of taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the Navy, to do so now, while large numbers may be taken, for while congress may authorize an in crease, this is by no means cer tain. It is announced by Navy Re cruiting Headquarters for the eastern district that the average age of men enlisting in the Navy from the States of North and South Carolina is below 20 years, considerably under the draft ages. Prom the foregoing it can be seen that while the Navy pushes its expansion and preparedness program, the very cream of America's young manhood is en thusiastically volunteering its services in the U. S. Navy. TOBACCO A record crop of flue-cured to bacco in the Orient is expected to reduce drastically imports of leaf from the United States, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

LYCEUM GROUPS ARE SffIEDULED First Program to Be of Musi cal Nature; Sponsored by Kiwanians HERE ON OCTOBER 25th The immortal Franz Shubert will live again on the stage of the Elkin elementary school auditor ium here Friday, October 25, when the Hugo Brandt company pre- j sents the interesting musical drama built around the life and love of a famous composer as the first of our four presentations scheduled here under the spon sorship of the Elkin Kiwanis Club.

The presentations, in addition to that of October 25, will feature a lec ture by "Bud" Waite, of the Byrd expedition to the South Pole, a musical program featuring Doris Peterson, who has appeared sev eral times on the Bing Crosby radio program, and a popular play, "The Big Pond." Each en tertainment will be given on suc cessive Fridays. The Brandt company, appear ing in the first of the series, is headed by Hugo Brandt, brilliant pianist and composer. It is said that Mr. Brandt is the physical counterpart, of Schubert and that he makes the hero of "Blossom Time" live again through his con summate artistry. The fine bari tone singer takes the role of Schu bert's friend, Joseph von Spaun. Miss Maxine Casaretto, coloratura soprano, appears in the role of Sylvia, the young woman who furnished the inspiration for the beautiful song "Who is Sylvia." The first portion of the program will be devoted to concert num bers by the pianist, soprano and tenor. A feature of this section will be the musical medley played by Mr. Brandt, consisting of re quest numbers from the audience woven together instantaneously. Mr. Brandt is well known as a composer. His numbers have been presented on the concert programs of many great pianists. He toured America and Canada with many light opera companies and was selected by the late De Wolf Hop per to accompany him on his final tour of "Mikado" and "Pinafore." Miss Casaretto, coloratura so prano, is well known in New York and Chicago as a concert and choir soloist and has won high honors in her appearances throughout the country.
