in its few weeks of campaign ac
tivity.
"We are living in an hour of
great anxiety," said Congressman
Cooley, who continued "this is no
hour for mere expressions of
peace, but an hour for action.
Our great task is the problem of
National defense. This was not
started a few months ago but
when President Roosevelt was in
augurated.
"It was realized tlial Mie Am
erican citizen must hare some- j
tiling to fight for. so we begun to
build up citizenship. Out ol' this
thought- came the National farm
program ? conservation and soil |
erosion program." He told how j
the administration had brought a
Cod given blessing to the rural
homes through llural Electrifica
tion program. Me told his hear

White House and both branches
of the Congress a friendly gov
ernment. ?
Answering the third term ar
gument lie stated, "I rather have
a flrst class man for a third t?rm,
than a third class man for a tlrst
term." And declared that one
!(.rm ? 100 "inch for a man
like Hoover. He compared Wil
Kle with the farmers bird dog an
up-setter and a dlsap-polnter."
He classed President Roosevelt I
as the greatest command in the
Nation and told his hearers that
they could not nil (.heir full duty
by voting hut should lie free to
discuss the government and Its
needs. ' Thank God we live In a '
"lat fee and Is con
trolled by public opinion."

Questionaires
To Be Mailed
Draftees Need Not Worry;
Instructions For Every
Move Will Be Issued
THE FRANKLIN TIMES re
porter in an interview with Chair
man J. E. Malone, of the local
draft) board, aseertained that the
Franklin County Local Draft
Board was among the first in the
state to" complete its preliminary
work of numbering registration
cards and posMng lists of regis
trants. The Board is now waiting
official Master Lists from Wash
ington before assigning order
numbers and mailing question
aires. The mailing of questionaires
will probably begin the first of
next week. Registrants are to fill
out> these questionaires and re
turn to the Local Board within
five days, the five days beginning
on the day after mailing such
questionaires. An Advisory Board
is being formed in tiie County to
render assistance to registrants
who are unable to prepare ques
tionaires.
It is not necessary, at this time,
for any registrant to know his
serial number as his questionaire
will be mailed him in due order.
The only thing necessary for the
registrant to do between now and
the receipt of his questionaire is,
in the event- he has changed his
address, to notify the Local Hoard ?
of this change.
Mr. Joseph T. Inscoe, has been
appointed a member of the Board
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr. Dickens. Mr.
Inscoe is one of Franklin Coun
ty's most prominent' and popular
citizens, who enjoys the confid
ence of tlie entire County, and
we feel sure he will add confld- I
ence to the. Board.
Judge Hamilton Hobgood lias .
been recommended as Chairman \
of the Franklin County Advisory
Board. It is understood he will
select the other members of his |
hoard whose duty will be to assist
the registrants in executing their
(juestionairus and rendering such
other assistance as may become
necessary.
The selection Is a splendid one.
Judge Hobgood is fully qualified
to render this valuable service.

DRAFT LOHER Y HELD TUESDAY
i
Wesley Williams Holds First Number
Six Missing Numbers Added To Complete List;
Dykstra Defends Drawing
Washington. Oct. 30. ? Facing
a possible legal test because the
great draft lottery ended with six
missing numbers. Selective Ser
vice officials pressed forward to
day wit'h plans for getting the
first contingent of conscripts into
camp.
It is to consist of some 30,000
young men drawn from regions
where camp facilities already are
available. Officials intimated that
voluntary enlistments might cov
er that entire number, but beyond
that point, plans were to have
400,000 in uniform by February
28, and 800,000 by June 15. Es
timates were that this would in- !
volve an average of about 130 !
men from each draft area and j
<0>out< one out of each 20 regis- j
t rants.
When, after 17 hours and 31
minutes, the drawing of the now
faniiliar blue capsules from the
long-famous goldfish bowl was
completed early today. It was
discovered that six capsules and
their numbers had been lost'. The I
last draw was the 8,994th. It
should have been the 9.000th.
KiRht at First
Rejecting the theory ('hat sou
venir seekers among the many
whose hands were thrust into the
bowl during the drawing might
have made away with the tiny
cylinder. ofTicials began an imme
dial<e recheck of their records to
determine Just which numbers
were missing. The records Indira- i
ted tha t not six, but eight were !
absent. They were: Numbers
6,542. 7,192, 7,635. 1.033, 5,108,
6,771. 1,835 and 7,839.
A "Little Lottery" was organ
ized immediately. The numbers
were inserted in capsules, drawn
and given order numbers running
from 8,995 to 9,002 inclusive.
Then another discovery was made.
Two of the numbers in the sup
plemental lottery ? 1,033 and 6.
771 ? actually had been drawn
earlier. It was ascertained. So,
they were cancelled out of t-he
little lottery and reverted to their
previous places in the draw.
Quite a bit of interest) was
shown among the possible draf
tees and their friends in Louis
burg and Franklin County. The
first number drawn 158 was
held in Franklin County by Mr.
Wesley Williams, who is employ
ed in H. C. Taylor's Hardware
Store in Louisburg. the second
was 192 was held by Mr. G. H.
Mitchell, an employee on the
highway force living on Main
St'reet in Louisburg and the third
105 was held by Richard Braxton
(Sill. Jr.. of Franklinton Route 2.
The list of the tirst 75 of
Franklin County registrants as
given out was as follows. This
list Is subject to suclt changes as ;
will be effected by registration j
cards being sent in from other!
sections since the list released

Red Cross Make
Plans For
i
Campaign
Roll Call For Franklin
County Will Be Held
Nov. 11th to 30th
The annual Red Cross roll call
will begin in franklin County
November 11 and will continue
through November 30, it has been
announced by T. Mortimer Har
ris, roll call chairman. Dr. A.
Paul Bagby is chairman of the
Louishurg chapter.
During fhe past year experien
ced Red Cross workers in disaster
and relief gave food, clothing,
shelter, medical attention and
rehabilitation assistance at the'
scene of 1,02 domestic disasters. !
bringing assistance to more than !
100,000 persons. Disaster relief1
operations resulted in expendi
tures of $655,757.67 by the Na
tional Organization. It was a ty-j
pical year of disaster fighting. 1
taking the Red Cross disaster |
force into all but 14 states. Dis- 1
aster relief was but a small part
of the Red Cross work as aid was
being rushed across seas to aid
tile innocent vicMins of war.
Mr. Harris and Dr. Bagby in
forwarding plans for the greatest
Red Cix>ss membership drive in
Franklin County's recent history
are pointing out the various agen
cies of aid thai ('he membership
drive supports. Among these are:
The military and naval welfare
service that last year assisted
53. "65 active service men and
iiided 58.505 cases of ex-service
men and their families. The vol
unteer service caused the produc
tion fit fl.S58.201 surgical dress
ings and 1 8.8 :? 4 Christmas bags
for soldiers. This service, also:
produced and collected two mil
lion garments. The volunteer ser
vice gave great aid to the blind ,
by producing 462,857 pages of
Braille. Canteen service workers
made and served meals to 80, 59:1
persons.
Under lirst aid. life saving and
accident prevention t-lie lied Cross
trained last year 379.860 persons
in tirst aid bringing the total
number of adequately trained
lirst aiders to 2,460,376. Life
saving instructors certified 94,
246 persons to aid and rescue the!
drowning. Since 1935 5.922 high-,
way first aid stations have been'
established. To combat the in
roads of accidental deaths in the
home and on farms the Red
Cross distributed 9.000,000
"check lists" tabulating farm and
home hazards t<o encourage per
iodic check-ups for their removal.
The Red Cross nursing service
now lias 43.000 registered nurses
to aid and Instruct when needed.
Civilian relief is also an impor-j
tant part of the varied Red Cross ;
services. Under t he medical and [
health services the "Blood Bunks" (
were begun and services for the
collection of medical facts and
Histories were carried out. The
Junior Red Cross is the largest
youth organization in the world
with a membership of 8,588.398
school-aged youngsters. This di
vision teaches those attributes
that make useful citizens and al
lows the youngsters to do their
own small part in aiding Miose
who are less fortunate.
The great help that has been
given in Kuropean war relief Is
widely publicized and needs no
boosting here but the need there
Is also great. Dr. Bagby suys
that inasmuch as Loulsburg Is al
most/ at the bottom in percentage
of population enrolled in the
Red Cross that every effort will
be made by Mr. Harris and the
various parts of the local chapter
to put this unit near or ati the
top.
Last years North Carolina en
rollment record was held by Ca
barrus County which enrolled
16.69 per cent of the county's
population in Ohe great Red Cross
movement, while Louiaburg en
rolled only .56 per cenj.

spilo of everything else it is hol
ding its own. Good tobacco grow

drop in price a few days ago was
occasioned by a lower grade of

you will get full value and good
accommodations.

TIMES to announce tl*ati.plans are
being worked out to hold a Coun
ty-wide 4-H club corn show dur
ing the latter part of November.
There are 112 4-H club boys who
had one or more acre's of corn last
summer for their project) and it
is felt that a County-wide C&ru
Show and Judging Contest held
in Louisburg will be an appro
priate event to climax the year's
activities for t-he club boys.
Several prizes have already
been secured from different feed
and fertilizer companies and some
local contributions have been
promised. It is believed that this
corn show and judging oontest
among the 4-H club ipemoers of
Franklin County can be made an
outstanding educational event ,
and that it will be of much inter
est not only to the clu|> boys but
to the farmers of the County and
to the citizens of Louisburg. It
is hoped that definite arrange
ments as to the time and place
for this Show can be made within
the next few days.
