AMERICAN LEGION STARTS CAMPAIGN FOR OLD RECORDS &_ Will Be Re-Cut And Sent To Men In The Service Led by M. Josephson, command er of Shaw Post, No. 38 American Legion, local Legionnaires joined a nation-wide American Legion campaign for old phonograph rec ords, which will be melted and recut at cost by manufacturers with the latest jive and classical 'music; then distributed to men in the armed forces. The legion hopes to collect at least 37,000,000 records during the campaign. He explained that old records are necessary in the re cutting of those that go to ser vice men because of the shortage of war-critical materials used in the manufacture of recording blanks. He suggested a search be made of closets and attics where old records may be serving no pur pose other than gathering dust. The local Legion post is making a special effort to get all records possible for the servicemen. Con tributors are asked to leave them with Curtis Shell at the Quality Shop, in Roanoke Rapids, or with Joyner Furniture Co. in Weldon. If it is inconvenient to contact either of these places with any quantity of records, no tify Mr. Josephson, post command er, and arrangements will be made to pick up the records. No Services At Presbyterian On Sunday Morning . * There will be no further preach ing services at the Roanoke Rap ids Presbyterian church until the last Sunday in August, according to an announcement made today by church officials.
