FARMERS PREPARE FOR TRUCK CORPS A number of Castle Hayne farm ers are making preparations for putting in lettuce seed as time for the annual truck growing season approaches, R. W. Galphin, county agent, said yesterday. The truck crops in this area usually mature, with good weather, in the later winter or early spring wing by about two weeks the to*or»«ta season, and by one week, the South Carolina opening, Galp hin said. As harvesting is completed in this section the Virginia and Mary land seasons open with the har vesting proceeding northwardly on the Eastern Shore into New Jersey and up, as the weeks roll by, he added. Generalizing, Galphin said that crops of all kinds mature in aboui the same manner, with harvesting moving northwardly by states, providing a constant flow of fresh vegetables for the nation’s tables. About. 40,000,000 of the 56,000,000 square miles of the earth’s surface have not yet ben accurately mapped. ,mwm.

The statement was made when the clerk asked the boy, whose ap pearance would indicate that his age is about 20, for his discharge papers in order that they could get some information about him for a birth certificate, which he h^d asked for. It seems that the Negro boy, who has no relatives known to him, wanted the certificate so that he could find a sister he thinks lives here. He said he had never attended school, that he left Wilmington when he was about 15 years of age, to go to work in Philadelphia. When asked how he traveled, he said he "just walked away.’’ He told the clerk his only record was that of an appearance in ju venile court in 1935, at which time he said he was 11 years of age. He said he appeared again in 1937 at which time his age was 10 years. The clerk is still wondering just how to get him a birth certificate. 39 MEN IN AREA ENLIST FOR DUTY IN ARIHED FORCES By the end of today, at least 39 men from this section will have enlisted in the armed forces in the Wilmington Army and Navy re cruiting offices since the first of the year.

M. Rivenbark, Wil mington Navy recruiting officer. Lt. J H. Bandi, Wilmington Army recruiting officer, disclosed that a total of 16 men have enlisted or reenlisted in the Army through his office during the period.

FLOODS RENDER 5,000 HOMELESS (Continued from Page One) land river towns and several smaller communities were isolated by travel from the rest of the StStOa An estimated 3,000 or more of Pineville’s 4,000 residents were evacuated into surrounding high territory and about 700 Harlan families fled from their homes. Telephone and telegraph connec tions were severed in some of the smaller communities but the State Highway Patrol said it had not heard of any more fatalities. Old-time residents along the Cumberland said' the river reached one or two feet higher than the record flood of 1929. The crest at Harlan was reached yesterday, however, and the stream began to fall rapidly. The crest at Fine ville was reached late yesterday and the river was expected to start a rapid fall today. The American Red Cross, which moved' into Harlan Monday to help with relief work, set up four can teens yesterday in Pineville to feed most of the town’s isolated population. Boats, floating over Pineville streets, were used for gathering food from wholesale grocery stocks. GLOBAL TRAVEL SERVICE READY (Continued from Page One) Pan-American Grace, should at tract tourists with Panagra con tinuing on down the west coast of Central and South America. Less glamorous but more utili tarian are the connections which are provided business men for time-saving flights. A good exam ple is the connection which the lines’ 10:10 a.m. flight makes in Asheville with Pennsylvania Cen tral Airlines flight to Knoxville, Tenn., which in turn connects with Delta’s Chicago flight, which ar rives in the Windy City via Cincin nati at 6 p. m. Teague said that he had been notified of Army approval of his lines’ use of Bluethenthal field shortly before it was returned to the county and said that use of the field would enable the company to give people of Wilmington and vicinity a vastly improved serv ice. With the use of the field assured, Teague said, the company plans purchase of one, possibly two large 21-passenger Douglas DC-3’s and expand the service as traffic justi fied. He termed Wilmington one of the best cities on the company’s sys tem from a standpoint of passenger and air cargo revenue and predict ed that ‘"we can make it the best when we obtain use of the field.” “South East has more to offer Wilmington as an outlet to the West than any other transportation service now serving the city and vicinity and we want to give the best possible service”, he added. When asked if it would be pos sible for two air lines to operate at the same field without a radio control tower to regulate traffic, Teague said that at several of the airports served by his company more than one airline was operat ing at the same time under those conditions and said that safety pro. cedure could be handled by the two companies, sometimes more efficiently than when tower con trolled. One more round trip flight is planned to begin Immediately when landing privileges are granted at [ Bluethenthal, Teague said. Stress ing the service his line gives pas i sengers, he said that SEA, while \ stopping at the Raleigh Municipal Airport at present, on occasion when a passenger has a connection ; with a line using the Raleigh-Dur i ham airport, also landed at that port as well as an accomodation, i Teague plans to return to Char lotte today after a conference with : Comity Commissioners.

He said, . though, the ACA has agreed to ■ handle all messages sent to or ori ginating with the armed forces. THOMAS DECLARES CANAL FEASIBLE (Continued from Page One) canal running from Corpus Christi, Tex., across Florida, joining with another intercoastal canal running northward. “It looks foolish to leave such a little gap when we have spent so much money to develop the coastal canals,” he told a reporter, Thomas said the Army informed him that during the war 29 ships were sunk while going around the southern point of Florida and 245 lives were lost in 13 of the sinkings. “I will give the engineers a chance to make their case for further work on the $50,000,000 project when they ask for funds,” he said PH0N EQUIPMENT MEN STRIKE TODAY (Continued from Page One) for six days in New York and New Jersey. Weaver said his union was willing to continue negotiations with the Western Electric company, even while the strike was on, but if no agreement was reached “within 24 hours” the union would drop its modified demands and return to the “original demands of April, 1945.” No announcement of the modified demands has been made. A spokesman for Western Elec tric said the company had no immediate comment on the union’s strike vote. WESTERN UNION STRIKE TIES UP CABLE ANSWERS NEW YORK, Jan. 8—(JP)—New Y-rk city was cut off from tele graphic communication with the rest of the nation today when 7, 000 Western Union emp’ . es walk ed out in a strike that CIO lead ers said may bring support from 600,000 other metropolitan workers. The Western Union strike, pre cipitated by an employes’ protest of a War Labor Board decision which revised downward a wage award by regional board, slowed down international cable commu nications. Union members in eight inter national and radio message firms refused to accept traffic from West ern Union which nt .ally handles a union-estimated 40 per cent of international communications. Saul Mills, secretary of the Greater New York CIO Council, said 600,000 members of 300 CIO locals had been alerted “for every possible support deemed neces sary” to back the Western Union employes who are members of the American Communications Associa tion (CIO). $75 PLUS BICYCLE REMOVED IN THEFT OF GROCERY HERE Merchandise with a total value of $75 was stolen from Broad Circle grocery, 2411 Market Street road, Monday night. A bicycle was included in the loot, and has been recovered by city police officers. The store, owned by A. A. Olm stead, was entered and ransacked after the padlock on the door had been broken, according to city po lice officers. City detectives were expected to make an arrest in connection with the robbery, at a late hour last night.

GI’S RAISE BIG CAMPAIGN FUND (Continued from Page One) Shortly before he issued his statement the president was again reminded of the boiling GI discon tent in the Philippines, when columnist Drew Pearson handed him a six-inch stack of papers which Pearson said listed 30,000 GI’s in the islands. The names were signed to a slogan "No Boats —No Votes.’’ The Navy News reported from Guam that 18,000 men attended two protest meetings there, and that a cablegram of protest signed by 6,000 soldiers and costing $3,600 would be sent to two newspaper columnist (Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson) and to Senator Ed win C. Johnson (D-Colo). The Stars and Stripes, Army newspaper, said enlisted men all over the Pacific were “confused and disheartened.’’ Committeemen elected at the Manila mass meeting were busy tonight mapping their strategy for an audience with Secretary Pat terson and for a campaign to im press on Congress the political po tentialities of the soldiers’ pro tests.

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt shared the spotlight with Anthony Eden, Brig. Gen. Claude M. Thiele, com manding general of the London Area Office, and Adm. H. Kent Hewitt, commander of United States Naval forces in Europe. Virtually every sailor or GI who ever served in Britain visited the club which opened Nov. 11, 1942. “The last time I was here,” said Sgt. A. Williams of Rome, Ga., “I was knocked out of bed by a bomb blast. But this has always been little America to me. GI’s jammed the street to see Mrs. Roosevelt arrive and packed the auditorium where she spoke briefly. A dozen paratroopers led by Sgt. Robert L. Davis of Wil liamsburg, Va„ climbed up on a small balcony to get a glimpse of her.
