Men On Active Only
Major C. H. Simms, unit in
structor, ORC, announced that
orders had been received by two
local men; and they reported for
active duty on January 26 for
one year, with their consent.
They are Staff Sergeant Remus
C. Parker, Arlington St. Extension
and Sergeant James A. King,
Kingstone Avenue.
Both men are stationed at
Charlotte, where they are perform
ing the duties as escorts for World
War 11 dead. Both men had prev
ious duty of this type during the
month of November, 1917.
Major Simms said that these
men had excellent records during
the war and also during their
month of previous duty last No
vember. The importance of this
duty requires men of the highest
qualifications and character.
James Allen King formerly
worked in the Dyehouse at Caro
mount; and Remus C. Parker was
employed in the weaveshed.
Thomas Home Burns
Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Thomas
reached home Monday afternoon,
February 9, and found their house
on fire. They suffered an entire
loss of all their furniture, cloth-
ing, and personal possessions.
The house, owned by Mrs. Eva
Bowden, is located south on high
way 301. Mrs. Bowden was the
only person at home when the fire
began, and she was able to get
out without injury.
The fire was caused by a bad
chimney; and it burst into flame
at about the time that Mrs. Thom
as arrived home. The snow and
the strong wind spread the fire so
quickly that little could be done
towards salvaging much.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are mak
ing their home with relatives in
Swelton Heights at present. Mrs.
Thomas works in the main office
at the Caromount Division.
President Schell Appears Before
House Foreign Affairs Committee
Europe must “produce more
and experiment less” if the Euro
pean Recovery Program ( The
Marshall Plan) is to succeed,
Herbert H. Schell, President of
Sidney Blumenthal & Co. Inc.,
testified before the House For
eign Affairs Committee on Jan-
uarv 28.
Mr. Schell, member and form
er chairman of the NAM’s Inter
national Relations Committee,
said that industry is “enthusiast
ically in favor of the purpose and
objective of the ERP” as a pro
gram based on “self-help and
niutual cooperation.”
After presenting his prepared
statement, Mr. Schell was ques
tioned by the members of the com-
mitte for almost two hours. He
stated that this exchange of ideas
was completely spontaneous and
no answers were prepared; how
ever, according^ to Mr. Schell this
was the most interesting part of
his experience before the com
mittee.
One of his spontaneous pro
posals was leported on the front
page of the Daily News Record,
New York City, of January 29,
under the headline, “Bomb Russia
