ROXBORO RAMBLER
NEWS AND VIEWS PROM ROXBORO HIGH SCHOOL
By Misses Elsie Mae Long, Mary Ruth Long And
Nancy Stroud. \
This was one of the quieter
weeks at R. H. S. Looks as if
the students are settling down
with the weather. About the
most exciting event was the game
Friday, but that comes later. We
went to chapal twice, so we’ll
start with Tuesday’s assembly.
Tuesday morning in the high
school auditorium there was a
memorial service for Private Sam
Fisher, Jr. This service touched
all of us more so because we
came face to face with the fact
that the war hits home.
Gen. John L. Kennedy, who
presented the Silver Star was in
tre Juced by Lieut. Governor R.
L Harris.
The Glee Club sangl “Going
Home”. -Batty Barnette. Susan
Brooks, Elizabeth Newell, and
Mona Clayton sang “My Buddy.”
Thursday morning the Rev.
Wesley M. Smith, who was intro
duced by the Rev. W. C. Martin,
spoke on “China”. Mr. Smith
has been working in China since
1910 and has only four furloughs
in all that time.
Mr. Smith was in the hands of
the Japanese for many months,
but was treated what we would
today call good. He is waiting
now for it to be possible for him
to go back to China.
This week Mrs. Clayton’s
home-born chose the best boy and
girl of the week. Mrs. Clayton
said she had so many good ones
she didn’t really know which
one she would choose. But she
finally chose Jimmy Warren and
Ayles Beavens. Os oil the boys
PULPWOOD goes toWAR
»AR PRODUCTION BOAR&
Your county agent, Extension farm forester, and TPWP fores
ters will assist you in cutting and marketing your pulp,wood this
IV.II and winter. Uncle Sam is asking farmers to use their spare
time in getting out logs and pulpwcod supplies wherever possible
because lumber supplies are extremely short. R. W. Graeber, in
charge of Extension forestry at State College, advises you to do
selective cutting and suggests that you contact your county a
gent before finally deciding how to cut vour timber.
FLOUR
We have a nice stock of flour on
hand and can take care of your
needs in this line.

in her room she thought Jimmy
had made most improve
ment. For the last year or two
he had a vacation but this year
he hasn’t missed a class and is
ready studying. Keep up the
good work. Jimmy,
Ayles is the type of girl whom
you can ask to do something and
know she will do it well and
with a smile.
We said something about Mrs.
Crowell’s home-room last week
and now they are really at work
—or have they b?en at it all the
time—Watch them!
Why don’t some of the home
rooms get some ideas like Miss
Joyner’s seventh grade has. jShe
has a box sitting in a corner of
her room that everybody drops,
money into when they can. The
money will go toward buying
Stamps and Bonds. When they
get enough they are going to do
nate the Bonds to the l school.
Louise Harris and Patsy Beam
thought of this idea and we think
it is a very good one.
Our football team played Hills
boro Friday afternoon, there.
They beat us 13-0. It was a very
clean game and although o'Ur
boys were defeated they played
an excellent game. Kick off was
at 2 o’clock. Buck Taylor got a
slight leg injury and was forced
to leave the game. Sterling Wade
hurt his head but refused to stay
out. There were only a few
people from Roxboro there and
only four cheerleaders so we
couldn’t help the boys out much

by yelling but they still played
a lough game.
We would like to call atten
tion to Mr. Womble. He has act
ed as coach and attended all the
games. He has really given our
boys courage.
Next Friday will be a big event
for all of us. We play one of our
biggest rivals. Bethel Hill. Kick
off will be at 3 o’clock. Every
body come. We are expecting a
big crowd.

Dear Mr. Hunter:
Was indeed surprised but very
glad to hear from you. J am in
the best of health and I trust
with the receiving of this letter
you are likewise.
You wanted to know if we fel
lows who are so far from our
loved ones, and iwho appreciate
every bit of recreation possible,
derive any benefits from the
USO. We, meaning the majority
of the fellows, think the USO
and the Army and Navy Relief
Society are without a doubt the
greatest morale builders possi
ble. The USO has different units
composed of talent from the
mainland and native talent that
arouses the interest of every sol
dier, sailor and marine on the
island. I assure you that I am
for your drive 100 percent and
I sincerely hope you go over the
top.
Sincerely,
CPL. MARDELL W. BREEZE

Dear Mr. Hunter:
I’ve heard reports about how
the soldiers have been given
dances in Roxboro, and I was
told that you are the Chairman
for the USO.
I wanted you to know just how
| much all the soldiers appreciate
what the civilians are doing to
make our service more enjoy
at le.
We have three USO’s in Sioux
Falis, and they are all very nice.
A soldier can go in and read,
write letters, play all kinds of
games, get soft drinks, dance and
test of all, there are ladies there
who are very nice to us by sew
ing on our insignias or stripes
for us. Dances are given very of
ten and everyone is very friend
lv to us.
I hope the USO in Roxboro is a
great success. I’m sure that it
will be too.

GOVERNOR ASKS
WAR PRISONERS
FOR OTHER WORK
Raleigh, October 14.—Governor
Broughton has made a formal
request of the War Department
for “all the Italian war pris
oners that can be spared” to
Work in the timber and pulp
wood industries in North Caroli
na.
The action by the Governor
followed a conference last week
attended by representatives of
the lumber industry, pulpwood
manufacturers, the Manpower
Commission, the War Production
Board, the forestry division of
I the Department of Conservation
and Development, the State Col
lege Extension Service, and the
Camp Butnerq cantonment for
war prisoners.
The Governor ,said that his re
quest for war prisoners is based
on a plea by the Federal Govern
ment for an increase in the pro
duction of pulp and fiber. “This
increase cannot be brought a
bout,” the Governor said, ’’with
out some relief for the manpow
er shortage, and the only solu
tion we can see is to obtain war
prisoners to help us do the
work.”
The Governor specifically re
! quested that the 1,5*00 Italian War
J prisoners harvesting peanuts in
| Eastern North Carolina be plac
led at jobs in the lumber
industry and that “other war
prisoners who may be brought
to this State” be permitted to
aid in pulp and fiber production.
At yesterday’s conference, lum
ber representatives agreed that
lumber production “is off about
40 per cent, die wholly to the
shortage of laborers.” It was
pointed out that total lumber
production now is being turned
| over to the Army and Navy for
wartime uses. The lumbermen
stated that the industry can use
“every available war prisoner.”
If the Governor’s Request is
granted by the War Department,
those desiring to hire war pris
oners will file a request with
the nearest U. IS. Employment
Office, stating the number of pri
soners needed and giving a de
tailed description of the work.
The b equests will be turned over
to Dr. J. S. Dorton, State direct
or of the War Manpower Com
mission, who will communicate
directly with the War Depart
ment.
The Governor said that the pre-
