AUGUSTA OFFICERS VISIT CAMP DAVIS Ordnance Supplies At Post Inspected By Visiting Officials Camp Davis was visited Tuesday by two officers of the Augusta. Ga., arsenal, Lieut.-Col. Raymond Marsh, commanding officer, and Major Crawford Beeson, depot supply officer, whose task it is to interview ordnance officers throughout the Fourth Corps area and assist with problems of ord nance supplies. The visitors conferred with Lieut.-Col. Lewis E. L i m b e rt Camp Davis ordnance officer, and inspected the camp’s ordnance supplies. Colonel Marsh expressed the hope that the current tour of the corps area would result in speeding deliveries of ordnance from the arsenal to the various camps. Fort Bragg, Camp Sutton. Camp Croft and the Charlotte air base were also on the ordnance offi cera’ iifrierary for the first in spection tour. Colonel Marsh said he would attempt to see every ord nance officer in the corps area, ■ not once but several times to further coordinate the supply sys tem. -V A cowry is a sea shell, fre quently used as money in some sections of the world.

Front St. _4 Wings Over Wilmington With Air Base Boys HOW TO ADDRESS SOLDIERS’ MAIL SOMEDAY PERHAPS some or all of the soldiers now stationed at the Wilmington Army Airport may be sent to the battle-front to meet the enemy. Many of our Wilmington readers have sons, friends, or sweethearts who may have to fight abroad. When these are gone, there will be a correspondence connecting them with Wilmington. Letters from home and friends are considered by the War Depart ment as second only to the supply of food as a morale agency. A letter can raise fallen-spirits in a moment when nothing else can help — this puts a responsibility on you who are left behind to sacrifice a little more time for writing to your "particular” soldier when he has gone. However, for those who will write, there are instructions they should familiarize themselves with to insure prompt and certain delivery of soldier-mail. OUTSIDE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES: Mail addressed to Army personnel serving outside the continental limits of the United States should clearly show: 1. Grade, first name in full, middle initial, and last name of person addressed, followed by his Army serial number (if known). 2. Letter or number of the company or other similar organization of which the addressee is a member. 3. Designation of the regiment or separate battalion, if any, to which the company belongs. 4. Army post office number (APO), in care of the appropriate post master. 5. The location of the overseas station should not be used. 6. Name and address of the sender in the upper left-hand corner. SAMPLE: From John R. Doe 205 West State St. Boston, Mass. Pvt. Willard J. Roe (Army Serial Number) Company F 167tli Infantry, APO 801, C/O Postmaster, New York, N. Y. WITHIN CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES: Mail addressed to Army personnel at posts, camps or stations within the continental limits of the United States should show the same informa tion as prescribed above for units outside the continental United States, except that the post office address of the post, camp, or station will be used, preceded in appropriate cases by the APO number if applicable. Mail addressed to Army personnel on maneuvers within the con tinental United States should show the same information as prescribed above for outside the continental United States. Prior to beginning of maneuvers, the Post Office Department with the concurrence of the Army will designate the postmaster in whose care mail for personnel in volved will be addressed. SAMPLE: From John R. Doe 205 West State Street Boston, Mass. Pvt. Willard j. Roe, (Army Serial Number) Company F, 167th Infantry, Fort Bragg, N. C. IMPORTANT DON’TS DON’T use small envelopes, or fill the white-space on the left of the address. This is necessary for forwarding agencies' indorsements. DON’T use code designations for overseas locations on personal mail. DON’T use names of locations overseas on the same piece of matter on which the APO number appears. DON’T make any reference in your correspondence which might as sociate the APO number with the geographical location of the soldier’s unit. DON’T forget to write often — The soldier will always be waiting to hear from you. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THIS COLUMN BE CLIPPED AND SAVED BY ALL WHO MAY HAVE OCCASION TO REFER TO IT. NAZI ARMS WORKS POUNDED BY RAF (Continued From Page One) the second-largest arms plant in Europe, and today it is one of the main sources of the German army’s heavy guns and tanks. Heavy clouds screened most of the targets, so that full observation of results was impossible, but one well-informed source declared con fidently, “when those bombs we are using now hit, something gives.” This source said the Pilsen and Stuttgart raids were similar to those on the Renault and Matford works in France and the Heinkel factory at Rostock — intended to “smash the eggs which hatch out Panzers, U-boats and the Luft waffe.” It was the war’s seventh raid on Stuttgart and the fourth on Pilsen, which last was raided by the big Stirlings on April 25. In continuing war on Nazi ship ping, the most spectacular achieve ment was the bombing of two ships in Kristiansand harbor, southern Norway, by an Australian who hurled his American-built Hudson into the inlet almost at sea level. Two other ships were listed as hit off the Frisian islands. The Germans overnight raided MIDWAY BEATS OFF JAPANESE RAIDS (Continued From Page One) been attacked each month save April. Once in January and twice in February you were bombarded by submarines. In each instance your prompt return fire caused the enemy to submerge and withdraw before damage was inflicted. In at least one case, the enemy sustain ed probable damage. On March 10 aircraft approaching Midway were discovered and one was shot down and destroyed many miles from the objective, none reached the is lands. ‘‘I am pleased to be here in per son to express satisfaction with the splendid performances of all personnel attached to this com mand and to present the awards to those who have been outstanding among a gallant group of officers and men.” Neefus’s action included taking fighter planes aloft in the face of difficult aerial combat conditions and heavy cloud formations which favored the Japanese. the English south coast, and four of their planes were reported de stroyed. The Berlin radio said Cowes and Eastbourne were the targets. 3 SAK WHAT MARES CALVERT AMER/CA'S fAVOR/TE a/xuRy WH/SRCy*P r/*/irs &sy/ c/uyszr/sA *HAPpy8l£A/D/AfG OF All THE grandest WH/SKSy TRA/7S/ Bint'S *1.30 QUART ^2.50^ c“ Calvert m m/sx£/ tv/r// 7H£ 'W/ppy Bu/vu j Calvert Distiller* Corp., New York City.

HAMLET POLICE CHIEF IS SLAIN Officer Killed By Negro Who Previously Shot 3 Members Of Family HAMLET, May 5. — UP) — Police Chief J. B. Fallow was shot to death here today by a negro he was endeavoring to apprehend for ques tioning in connection with the shoot ing up of a negrq family which left three dead and a fourth dying. A police report said the wife of Will Dawkins and her two sisters were killed and a three-year-old child of the Dawkinses wag critically wounded and died later in a hos pital. J. J. Gray, city clerk and tax collector, received the telephone call summoning officers to the Dawkins home, in a negro residential district at the edge of the city. Chief Fal low and C. A. Eacho, an officer of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, went in the chief’s car to investi gate, Gray said. Then, according to the report made at police headquarters, Dawkins ap peared beside the house as Eacho started around. Dawkins approach ed the automobile and suddenly pok ed his single-barreled shotgun through an opened window of the car and fired into Chief Fallow’s face, the report said. Fallow tumbled from the automo bile, critically wounded. Eacho’s pistol jammed. The negro reload ed his gun and fl^j toward the open spaces. The police chief was hurried to a hospital, where he died within a fdhv minutes. A posse of approximately 250 per sons, including many Hamlet busi ness men, quickly formed and, led by sheriff’s officers, police, and state highway patrolmen, combed the surrounding area. In late afternoon, however, Daw7 kins had not been apprehended. Shortly after midday bloodhounds were obtained, and officers leading the search were confident that it w7ould not be long before the negro wag captured. From the best information avail able, officials said, domestic difficul ties preceded the shootings. -V Bruce Davidson Gets Suspended Sentence Charged with abandonment and non-support, Bruce Davidson was sentenced to serve three months in jail, to be assigned to the roads, at a hearing Tuesday in Recorder’s court. The sentenced was suspended on condition the defendant pay in to the clerk of Recorder’s court $10 a week for the support of two minor children three and four years of age. The payments began May 4.

Mrs. Collins presented two lectures to army wives at Tha lian Hall Monday.

Mrs. Collins’ lectures at Thalian Hall were well attended. -V-* Mother Who Lost Three Sons In War Will Sponsor Ship NEW LONDON, Wis., May 5.—(#1 —Mrs. Peter Barber, mother of three sons who were killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, today accepted an invitation from Secretary of Navy Knox to be spon sor of a Navy ship when it is launched this summer. The Navy secretary wrote that “in order to express to you in a tangible way appreciation of your sacrifice in the loss of three sons in Naval service,” it gave him great pleasure to designate Mrs. Barber as a sponsor for the vessel. The Barber boys, Malcolm, 22; Leroy, 21, and Randolph, 19, were firemen aboard a Naval ve s s e 1 when the Japanese attacked it in Pearl Harbor Dec. 7. 3 Civilian Defense Wednesday, May 6, Gas Defense B, 3 hours, in room 109 of the High school, 8>p. m.

For Meter Adjuster Your Vote Will Be Appreciated Glamour Girl Lawyer Is Given Major Case * NEW YORK, May 5.—UP'—“Gla mour girl of the courtroom.” That’s what they call Edith Glen non around the Federal building. Miss Glennon, whose official title is assistant United States attorney, criminal division, New York south ern district, doesn’t exactly like it. Here she is in the spot she’s worked for ever since she was ad mitted to the bar in 1936, a genuine trial lawyer prosecuting criminal cases, and this glamour girl busi ness crops up. Slender and young and in her middle twenties, she wears her hair in a shoulder length bob. “Perhaps I should cut my hair,” she said in an interview today, “or maybe pin it up into a tight bun? “No, I don’t believe I’ll bother to do anything about my hair. The way I look at it, I’m wrong what ever I do about my appearance. If I dress severely in tailored suits they’ll say I’m trying to ape men. If I dress naturally, like this”— she had on a soft green silk suit— “why they’ll probably say I’m try ing to use sex appeal. “So I’ll just go my own way, and hope that my work will be good enough to stave off criti cism.” The glamour hair-do hasn’t in terfered with her legal work. She tried her first case in March, won a conviction, and followed with four more convictions in narcotics cases. Now the most important assign ment of her career is coming up. She is to prosecute Sam Maceo of Galveston, Tex., political figure and night club operator, accused of conspiring to import, transport, conceal and sell narcotics. He was indicted in 1937 with 87 others, some of whom have been convict ed. Maceo was ill and his case severed. Miss Glennon says that the legal profession generally is prejudiced against women as trial lawyers, and “so I am doubly grateful to TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY STRAYED WHITE _ MALE Spitz* dog Tuesday after noon.

She was nervous, she admitted, but when court adjourned, a mem ber of opposing counsel said, “nice going, kid.” • 3 -V Nursing Course Completed By 73 High School Girls A course in Red Cross Home Nursing, taught by Mrs. Vera Thompson, volunteer instructor, has been completed by 73 high school girls.

Many folks say that almost as bad as constipation are harsh cathartics and purges. That's because many medicinal laxa tives work this way: they either prod the intestines into action or draw moisture into them from other parts of the body. Now comes news of a gentler and pleasanter way of treating constipation, for the millions of people with normal intestines whose trouble is due to lack of “bulk” in the diet. This way is by eating KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN, a crisp, delicious cereal, and drinking plenty of water. ALL-BRAN, unlike many medici nal laxatives, acts principally on the contents of the colon and helps you to have easy, normal elimination. ALL-BRAN is made by Kellogg's in Battle Creek. If your condition is not helped by this simple treatment, better see your doctor.
