BUYING OF BONDS ANDSTAMPSASKED Those Who Recently Made Pledges Urged To Begin Systematic Purchases GREENSBORO, May 14. — UP) — “All North Carolinians who have signed pledges to invest reg ularly in war savings securities are urged to begin immediately the systematic purchase of war bonds or stamps, so there will be no doubt about this state going over the top in this month’s quota” Charles H. Ribertson, state ad ministrator of the war savings staff, said in a statement issued today. North Carolina’s quota for May has been set at $5,888,400,” and we feel this will be exceeded if our citizens made good their pledges,” Administrator Robertson said. So far this state is leading all other states in the South Atlantic area below Virginia in bond sales, he said. Any counties or communities that did not complete their can vasses during last week’s drive should do so as soon as possible, he said. “All local chairmen who have not done so should send t heir pledge cards to state headquarters promptly,’’ he added. “One copy will be retained at state headquar ters and the other will be for warded to Washington. “It should be borne in mind that, regardless of how many pledges were signed, North Carolina’s quo ta is based on actual sales, which means these pledges should be ful filled if our state is to do its part.” 5 -V Church Of God Revival Services Continue Here The revival which is now in progress at the Church of God, 1121 South Front street, was largely at tended last night. Much interest is shown as the revival continues Evangelist Thea F. Jones of Covington, Kentucky gave another very inspiriting message, ‘ The Example of Womanhood.” Two prominent characters men tioned in the discourse were Mary and Martha. Rev. Jones declared, ‘there are thousands of Marthas today but very few Marys who will sit at the feet of Jesus and hear His words.’ There will be a great stir when Mary of Bethany enters Heaven and Jesus rises and says: ‘‘Father this is Mary that anointed me for my burial.” --V twice taken Berlin has fallen into enemy hands twice during the past two centuries.

This sobering warning comes from a churchman-welfare worker and a probation officer, who, in addresses to coun'y parents, said this situation exists today: L Juvenile delinquency among boys of the county has increased 22 per cent during the last year, and among girls 8 per cent. 2. Children are being deprived of normal childhood because their parents are sacrificing their home lives to the war effort. The Rev. John L. Nixon, direc tor of the church federation’s wel fare bureau, told a religious con ference that there are many cases of children ‘ being locked in cars, trailers or houses all day while their parents are at work.” In oth er cases, he declared, they are barred from homes during the day while parents on night shifts are sleeping. Karl Holton, chief county proba tion officer, blamed the increase in juvenile delinquency on the sense of frustration among youths of 14 to 16. “They are too young to go to war, or to engage in defense work,” he told the institute of fos ter parents. “They feel keenly their inability to serve, and the mounting delinquency rate is the result.” Dr. Nixon also cited the increase in juvenile delinquency. “Preservation of family life is not the least of our tasks,” he said. “The war effort will draw more and more women into indus try. The preferred age for women workers is 18 to 35 years, imploy ing young mothers and women young enough to bear children. “While these good women are loyally taking their places in de fense industries, the children must not be allowed to suffer.” 3 _v_ SAVE EVERYTHING ORDER IS GIVEN Men At Davis Told To Sal vage Everything Except ‘Squeak’In Shoes _ ‘'Save everything but the squeak in the shoes.” Those are the instructions of the Quartermaster at Camp Davis, to the Salvage Officer and they are being, carried out at the salvage warehouses at the camp where, it is estimated, $1,000 worth of sal vaged materials are being gather ed each week for sale. Daily trucks from the various organizations in the camp roll down to the salvage warehouses to unload material for salvage, in cluding everything from worn out socks and burned electric light bulbs to hypodermic needles from the camp hospital. Among the items which are sal vaged are leather scraps from the Clothing and Equipage Repair shop, old uniforms, worn fatigue clothes, belts, mess kits and other items of equipment, rubber heels which have passed their useful stage, cots, shelter halves, foot lockers, rubber gloves, hot water bottles, woolen gloves, all items made of metal, rubber scrap from worn boots, hose, inner tubes, raincoats and tires, old rope, cop per wire, baling wire, all waste paper, bags, barrels, boxes, lum ber, vegetable crates, egg crates and all other receptacles in which food comes packed, including tin cans. Nothing is accepted at Uie sal vage warehouse which is fit for reuse by the Army in its present condition. Heavy boxes are sent to the crating warehouse. Flour sacks sugar sacks and other types are used for dish towels in the mess halls, while other types are used for sandbags or for camouflage purposes. The amount of salvage which is collected is astounding. For ex ample an average day sees no less than 3500 pounds of waste paper hauled to the salvage warehouse, bundled and made ready for ship ment. All salvage is sold on bids and whereas the Government tries to get as high a price for the sal vage as possible, greater stress is placed on returning usable items to the normal channels of trade in the most expeditious manner. For example, there is at present a shortage of strawberry crates which threatens to shorten the crop which will be harvested this year. As rapidly as strawberry crates are emptied at the camp the crates are hauled to the salvage ware house and there delivered to.the contractor who has purchased them so they may be returned immediately to the shipper of strawberries for re-use. An estimate of the amount of sal vage which is received by the Salvage Warehouses may be gath ered fro ma copy of a bid which is being issued by the Purchasing and Contracting office of the Quartermaster’s office, which sells all salvage. This particular b i d, which deals only with food recep tacles to be sold, include 2,000 onion sacks, 3,000 egg crates, 600 banana boxes, made of paper; 300 wooden banana boxes, 700 bushel baskets, 10,000 5-peck hampers, 50 lettuce crates, (60 head size); 1700 lettuce crates (30 head size); 200 lettuce boxes (60 h(sad size); 4,000 Peasant Favorite 8181 If you want to look feminine and fragile, wear a peasant frock!

G. Thornton an nounced yesterday. This figure represents the ma turity value of the bonds. To date, a total of 5,420 pledges have been received by the bond pledge campaign headquarters, he said, representing a. total of $64, 501 per month. “The results of the campaign are disappointing, as Wilmington’s quota has been set at $187,000,’’ Mr. Thornton said. “The campaign will continue in Wilmington until that quota has been reached.” For the week ending May 8, a total of $84,975 in series E bonds was sold and the series F and G bonds amounted to $$12,300 and $10,000. “The banks and building and loan organizations are still tak ing pledges. “Anyone desiring to pledge a portion of his or her income to the purchase of war bonds is re quested to contact one of these in stitutions. “Some people in the city were not approached by solicitors, and we feel that there are many more pledges to come,” Mr. Thornton said. -V Traffic Decreases On State Highways RALEIGH, N. C., May 14.—— Traffic on North Carolina high ways began to decrease long be fore gasoline rationing was order ed, Highway Chairman Ben Prince declared today on the basis of re ports from “electric eye” counters placed on 24 principal highways throughout the state.
