HARD COLD WAVE APPEARS BROKER By The Associated Press A severe cold snap which struct the Eastern States late last weet had moderated yesterday anc temperatures in most of the Na tion had settled down to “aboui normal" for the season by Satur day night. Weather Bureau forecasts Christmas indicated old or fresh snow would cover most parts of the United States, excepting the Southern States and the Pacific Coast region. Saturday one to two inches of fow fell in a narrow belt extend g from northeast Colorado across Nebraska Iowa, northern Illinois, and Michigan, after having light ly covered southern Wisconsin and Minnesota Friday. In the Great Lakes region, tem peratures Saturday wera compara tively mild, with a minimum of 11 at Houghton, Mich., 9 at Mar quette, Mich.; 13 at Green Bay, Wis., 20 at Chicago and 20 at Lan sing, Mich. Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota and northern Iowa shivered in sub zero weather. Iowa’s minimum temperature was 9 below zero at Carroll, and most of the northern half of the State had three inches of snow. It was 26 below at Helena, and 36 below at Butte, Mont.; 10 below at Duluth. Minn., 14 below at Bemidji, Minn., and 18 below at Sheridan, Wyo. Pennsylvania was recovering slowly from its Friday cold spell. Low for the State was 10 below at Piney, and -6 was recorded at Parkers Landing. The state had no precipitation in the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. jester day, for the first time in two weeks. Low humidity and an accom panj’ing cold spell revived a for est fire hazard in western Wash ington, the U. S. Weather BureaJ said. More than 1.200 acres of tirr - ber, including 1,000.000 feet which had been felled, were burned in December.

War Ballot Work Gave State A Full Schedule By THAD EURE, SECRETARY OB' STATE (Written for the Associated Press) RALEIGH, Dec. 23.—tW-The ; Federal Absentee War Ballot Act 1 occasioned the greatest volume of work in the secretary of state's ! office for the year 1944. The secre tary of state is charged with the responsibility of administering the Federal War Ballot law in North Carolina and in this connection the office handled more than 130,000 pieces of mail. We communicated with more than 60,000 North Caro linians in service stationed in all parts of the world, advising them of their rights and privileges with reference to voting under both Fed eral and State laws. It is believed that no member of the armed services from North Carolina, possessing voting qualifi cations, can truthfully say that he or she did not have full and am ple opportunity and privilege to participate in elections in this state during 1944. The department is es pecially pleased with the part it played in making this picture pos sible. During the year, the department has checked the legal requirements for filing and has accepted, re corded and issued certificates to more than 1,000 corporations in connection with their being organ ized, amended or dissolved. Innu merable record certificates have been issued to these and other cor porations for the purpose of meet ing various requirements imposed by wartime regulations. Foreign corporations have do mesticated during the year with an aggregate capital stock struc ture of more than $240,000,000, while withdrawals have been neg ligible. During the year, trademark reg istrations, land grants and genea logical work as well as publica tions activity all have maintained their status quo, notwithstanding the shortage of labor and materi als, the department is proceeding | with the issuance of the most com prehensive state manual in its en tire history. It may be referred to as an encyclopedia for the state. The demand for current manuals is greater than that for any other publication of the state govern ment, completely justifying its gradual general enlargement. In administering the state securi ties law during the year, an ag gregate of $12,000,000 in securities has met the requirements of law and rules of the department and been registered for sale in North Carolina. The total sales of reg istered and exempt securities made during the year by dealers and salesmen registered by the de partment exceeds $100,000,000. Stringent rules and regulations have been promulgated to safe guard and check the ever-present nefarious and fraudulent plans in the minds of unscrupulous promot ers, and full cooperation on the part of the state's dealers and salesmen is evidenced. Fewer violations are recorded and it is believed that less fraud is perpetrated upon the investing public in North Carolina than in any other state in the nation. _ SOFT COAL MEN SET RECORD FOR VOLUME IN 1944 WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. — (/P> — American soft coal miners produc ed an all-time record volume in 1944, the Solid Fuels Administra tion reported today, but still were unable to meet war demands. Anthracite miners dug upwards of ten million tons more than in peacetime, SFA Administrator Harold L. Ickcs disclosed. “The producers and miners are doing an outstandingly fine job, but we are still short from 16,000, 000 to 22,000,000 tons of our full fuel needs,” he added. The biggest problem in the fuel situation is the lack of labor and equipment, the administrator said. Coal mines have lost one out of every five men employed in peace time, while the average age of coal miners now is 45 years, 13 years older than before the war. The Solid Fuels Administration said output for the week was esti mated at only 10,000,000 tons com pared with 11,930,000 tons in the week ended December 9. Much of the loss occurred in Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Eastern Kentucky.

They have a Christmas tree in the long room for orthopedic cases. It’s barren of gifts. Many patients are from Leyte. Their mail, which must be for warded from their former Philip pine addresses, hasn’t caught up with them. They can’t get over the idea they had been brought 5,000 miles by hospital planes, away from the heat and dampness and danger of the Philippines.. But they’re glad they were moved so fast, even if it is the reason why they—men from Gen eral MacArthur’s Seventh, 77th and 36th Infantry Divisions—will have to go without their mail and Christ mas packages from home. Pfc. Raymond Rychlinski, 20, of Detroit, Mich., of the Seventh Di vision, looked up from his bed. “I asked my folks not to send me anything,” he said. Rychlinski has been twice wounded. He was shot through the shoulder at Kwa j alien and through the left hand at Leyte. Pfc. Jack Adams, 19, Tuscaloosa, Ala., figures he was lucky. In the fighting on Guam last July, he re ceived a minor nick. At Leyte, Jap anese machine gunne‘rs cut down men in front and behind him De cember 1. He escaped with a shoul der injury. Two patients from the 96th Di vision were wounded by their own rifles. Pfc. Holden Quebedeaux, 22, Arnaudville, La,, lost his finger when his rifle accidently dis charged while he was cleaning it. He wanted a wrist watch for Christmas but would settle for a few letters. Second Lt. Anne Dougherty, Ar my nurse from Waterbury, Conn., assured the men they all would have a real Christmas dinner. The menu will include iced celery, olives, pickles, cranberry sauce, roast turkey, dressing, whipped po tatoes, fresh peas, corn, lettuce, tomato salad, ice cream, fruit cake, rolls and coffee. But the soldiers still asked: “What about the mail?’’ -V The Army’s basic photography course costs $550 per student. i LATE SHOW \ 1 TOH1TE and l 1 XMAS HITE! I 1 At 11:30 P- M.
