Unused npties are urgently needed because the WP3 has reduced the manfl ■cture of new bottles of this type, and because most glass containers lipped to the fighting men on the battle fronts are not returned.

Dr. Pledger will supervise religious, education and; medical work among the Hhils. ! A pledge against racial and re ligious intolerance, recently pro posed by Dean Howard M. Le Sourd, of Boston University, has aroused much interest in church circles and has had many signers. The pledge reads: “Realizing that unity is indivisible—that the man who speaks against one American on the basis of race, religion, or color, speaks against all—I pledge these things: that I will not give ear to words of racial or religious hate; that I will not be misled by rumors or reports aimed to stir up prejudice, and will not spread either about my fellow Americans; that 1 will use my voice, for what ever value it may have, to con ! demn openly and on the spot, any 1 expression, in seriousness or jest, along the lines of racial or relig ious hale.” Appealing to Presbyterian min-’ isters to volunteer their service as army and navy chaplains, and to churches to free their minis ters for such service, the Presby terians Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains declares that while 600 Presbyterian ministers are ow i the armed services, more than 300 more are being asked to join. The Committee urges char-! | ches to provide the difference be- j ■ tween a pastor’s salary and his chaplaincy pay, and also to con tinue the minister’s family in res idence in the manse. Post - war reconstruction of Christian institutions in other continents through an ecumenical cooperation of American Protest antism is being planned by the Church Committee on Overseas /Relief and Reconstruction.

ACL Appoints New Agricultural Agent From the office of Vice Presi dent K. J. Doss of the Atlantic toast Line comes the announce ment of the appointment of A. R. Howard as General Agricultural Agent of the line, with headquart ers at Wilmington, succeeding the late well known and lamented Guy A. Cardwell who held that of fice for many years. Mr. Howard is a native of Flo rida, and graduated from the U niversity of Florida with a B. S, A. degree, specializing in agri cultural work. For eight years he taught vocational agriculture in Florida school, and in 1913 re ceived the Master of Arts degree in Education from the University | of Florida. He has been connect* ed with the A. C. L. Agricultural Department since 1941, with headquarters at Jacksonville, Fla. and has already assumed the du ties of his new office. It is un» derstood that as rapidly as pos sible he expects to meet agricul tural and industrial leaders thru out Eastern North Carolina. The Agricultural Departments of the rail roads of the South have made valuable contributions to the development and improve ment of agriculture within the states they serve. In the postwar days ahead when our people are permitted to turn again their en , tire attention to matters of per-1 ! sonal and community welfare and concern, these same agencies will find a broader field for service. From many reliable authorities comes convincing proof of the im portant position the South will oc cupy in the future national eco nomic picture. Certainly nothing can do more to aid in this awak ening than a properly balanced and prosperous agriculture.

HOG CHOLERA Hog cholera outbreaks in the U.! Pt last year as reported, were about one fourth greater than in' 1S42. Veterinarians attribute this increase to the fact that there v.-re more hoys on larms.
