Rose died at her home in Wallace this morn ing at 11:15 a.m. after several weeks illness. Funeral services will be held from the home Fri day afternoon at 3 p.m. and burial wiU be in Rochfish cemetery. The Rev. W. P. M. Currie and the Rev. Marian Murray will offici clt6. LoueUa Gurley Rose, daughter of Calvin L. and Ellen Price Gur ley, was born Oct. 7th, 1876 in Wayne county. She was married to J. R. Rose who has been con nected with the Atlantic Coast Line since 1898. They moved to Wallace in 1902 where they have lived since. Mrs. Rose was truly one of the land marks in her home town. No man, woman or child, colored or white who made their home here for any length of time could help but know her. Where there was a semblance of activity Mrs. Rose could be found whether it was sickness in a home, a Pres byterian circle meeting, something of vital importance to the public school, a club meeting or a social function. She was a cnarter memoer oj the Betterment Association which was organized in 1908 and in 1912 was reorganized as the Woman’s Club. She is a past president oi this organization and has served on many important committees, her work mainly centering around Public Welfare and Public Health activities. She was an active mem ber of the Book Club and toofc great pride in the establishment and growth of the Wallace Public Library. Perhaps loyalty was hei outstanding characteristic. Until the last two months, no member recalls her being absent from a club meeting. During World War Number 1, Mrs. Rose had charge of the knit ting group. She took an active part in the organization of First Aid and Home Nursing Classes oi which she was an active mem ber. After a slight stroke a year ago she refused to give up and continued her active life and in terest in all that went on around her. In March, 1942, when First Aid Classes were being organized for work during World War Num ber 2, Mrs. Rose was among the first to register and attended ev ery class. Truly with Granville Hicks we can say—“One had to die, but one did not have to waste life thinking of death.” Mrs. Rose is survived by her husband, her children, Mrs. H. P Miller of Flushing, N. Y., Mrs J. A. Watson, Greenville, N. C. Mrs. Bill Harper Ipock, Wallace and Mrs. J. R. Rose, Jr., Wallace her sisters, Mrs. R. L. Fitzger aid. Pine Level, Mrs. W. E. Ay cock, Freemont, and her brother C. C. Gurley, and her grandchil dren, Bob Watson, Mary Rose Mil ler and Annette Louella Rose. VOTE FOR R, M.

More than 5,000 soldiers, as well as sailors, marines, military ca dets and police, lined the route the president took to and from the Chamber of Deputies. He characterized recent Axis submarines attacks on two Mexi can vessles—the tanker Petrero Del Llano and the freighter Faja de Oro—as “outrages to our na tional sovereignty.” Condemns Attacks Cheers halted him when he de clared that “the disloyal, sneaking and cowardly attacks” had brought his government to decide to “ac cept'Valiantly the realities” of the world situation and ask for a de claration of war against Germany Italy and Japan. In requesting suspension of con stitutional guarantees and the granting of decree powers to the executive, Avila Camacho promis. ed there would be no “unjust per secutions” and that the country’s internal life would be altered only as needed to reinforce the spirit of national defense. “I am the first to appreciate the effort the situation will require of the country,” the president said. “But if we do not make this ef To Fulfill Your Citizenship YOU MUST VOTE BETWEEN 6:30 A.
