In view of world conditions today, this is ,a step of the grayest importance to every American citizen.

It must not fail. With your help it will! nojt fail. The Army must continue to provide adequate; occupa tion forces overseas, to supply these forces, and to help in keeping America strong and secure. Your help and. understanding can do much to en courage a steady flow of 3-ycar voluntary cnliatmcnta, necessary to sound training and the cflicient porj'ormancc of the Army’s task. When you discuss this subject with your sons, brothers, husbands or friends who may he considering an Army career, bear in mind the advantages offered by ji 3-ycar enlistment. Among them are the choice of branch of service and of overseas theater where openings exist, and the opportunity for theirough training in valuable skills.

But that prospect crumpled with the reluctaAce of Mr. Stewart to turn over hla land to the Board of Education, since he had learned that strong, opposition had developed to ward U also, as It had developed to ward the John N. Gregory site. Last Thursday night Mr. Stewart met a group of citizens (the group was smaller than was anticipated ‘ on account of much illness in the com munity) and a general discussion of th© new site selection was enteied into. When Mr, Stewart' learned •that an overwhelming majority of th© people still wanted the new school located on the Ball Park site, he decided .to withhold His property from consideration by the School -Board. It was stated that M-r. Stewart was so emphatic in his desire to act ac cording to the wishes of the people of the community .that he stated he would not under any/ circumstances allow th© School Board to acquire his property, and that If it did ac quire it, "it would be through con demnation proceedings.” That left the Board of Education without any prospect of a site for th© schoolhouse, unless of course tlw members. Chairman G. L. Hoo'por of Dunn and Fred S. Thomas of Er win, who opposed the Ball Park site and selected .the Gregory site, then the Btewait site,,turn about face and agree that, the Ball Park site is the place for Buie's Greek's new schoolhouse. As the entire matter stands at pre sent, there appears little likelihood of any further wrangle over the lo cation of the site—a happy condition tor which folks in “Harnett county’s best community” arc grateful, along with their friends and well-wishers. 'Prominent citizens of -the Buie’s Creek community approached The News with .this statement: 'Tf you want to give credit where credit Is duo for settling the iule's Creek school dispute, give It all to Judge JPloyd 'Taylor.” Nothing 'affords The News great er pleasure than acceding to that request. ..O.
