Observations
By W. F. S HELTON
Thia Wrrk: FIRST QUOTA,
BUCKSHOT, BARB
ED WIRE AND
BALED HELL.
Id July lite Franklin County
Draft Board will send 39 men to
the Fort Bragg
Induction cen
ter for military
serrice w l.tt h
the Armies of
the United Sta
tes. The first
draft quota has
just been re
ceived at the
4 r a f t offices
here. Franklin
Couniy is, and
rghtfully s o,
grateful to the
Shelton
hundreds of men who are 111 to*
armed service of our country on
their own accord. It is through
these many national guardsmen,
service volunteers and reservists
that the county has been spared
this long from drafting men.
The July quota provides that
24 white men be sent off by July
8. Fifteen Negro men will be
sent away July 17 and the county
will have filled it's first require
ments under the selective service
program.
As many of you probably knar,
men who have reached the age of
21 since last October 16 will be
registered for the draft on July 1.
The registration for the county
Will be held at only one place ?
at the draft offices here. The
draft) offices will be open from T
in the morning until 9 that night
In order to give all the recent 21,
year-olds time to get their names
on the books.
H? 11
Buckshot, barbed wire and bal
ed bell is not original but is an
utterance of one of our Con
gressmen on the radio Sunday.
We just appropriated the phrase
as the title or mi? "plece because
it so ably fits the punishment that
Hitler has coming to him.
We say that Hitler has thi?
coming to him not only because
he has tackled the vast Soviet
Russia but that by attacking Rus
sia he has made the fatal mistake,
of so many military greats byl
taking on too much at one time
In all probability Herr Hitler will
whip the vast communist hordes
but the conquest of Russia will
drain German energies as they
have never been drained before- ?)
In defeating Russia Hitler will
have his already overloaded handsi
full of the 130 million people of
that vast land and he will have a>
tremendous job in keeping all his,
Hwang jg fire. ? gome gay iliut
even though Hitler defeats the
TJ. S. S. R. he will never conquer"
that country. An illustration of
this may be seen in Japan's long
fight attempting to conquer China.
Hitler will run into exactly that
same problem.
Another thing that is worth
more than passing attention is
that by this attack on Russia the
Germans have given proof, once
and (or all, that they do not in
tend to tolerate an; system of
government on this earth other
than their own. Now as the
goose-stepping Nazis advance' in
to the steppes of Mie huge Rus
sian state, what ot England?
England will no doubt *eiz.5
this great opportunity and play it
to the hilt. If England muffs the
opportunity that a benign provi
dence has provided then the
world will indeed be in a com
plete mess. We believe that the
British empire will now enter an
offensive war with all the ma
* chines and diplomacy at her pos
session in order to once and for
all put an end to the devilish am
bitions of Adolph Hitler and his
Itooge Benito Mussolini.
-.Speaking bf Mussolini we can-,
not help but wonder If the bug
eyed Roman is still the Mussollnll
that seized the reigns of Italy so
many years ago. Many observ
er* ?ay that the Italian balcony
boy has losti his power and that
Internal disaentlon is fast grow
ing In sunny, but completely bank
rupt, Italy. If axis partner Italy'
does collapse then with a combi
nation of Russia with British aid
?Bd the British wit* American
aid then truly Hitler, will be in
for a full portion of barbed wire,
bucksbot and baled hell.

A MESSAGE TO
PATRIOTIC AMERICANS
The condition of world affairs
grows more serious and threaten-1
ing daily. As a result of this
we are expanding our armed tor
res more rapidly than at any oth
ier time til IM History of Our
Country.
The oldest military organiza
tion in the United States, the
U. S. Marine Corps, is expanding,
and needs young men to assist in
upholding the high traditions
which have been- made since its.
organization by an act of The
Continental Congress in IT'S.
You may enlist tor "The Dura
tion of the National Emergency"
ill (be Mariae Corps Reserve, and
when the emergency no longer ex
ists. you will return to civilian
lite-" Yobr unlfornf, duty, pay,
chances for advancement, and the
oDDortunities to further vour ed
uiation are the same as for Reg
ular Marines. You will be well
clothed well fed, treated medi
taliy and dentally when neces
sary . and the chances are a hun
dred to one that your tour as a
-Marine will leave you a much
better man in all respect*.
In the four corners of the
i world The Teathernecks have
made a record for themselves
which is seldolb equalled and
never surpassed. In Mexico. The
I Bahamas. Cuba. San Domingc
) Haiti. Nicaragua. The Virgin Is
lands. Panama. Hawaii. Guam
;The Phillipines. China. Japan. Ko-|
rea. Egypt. Tripolin, and in'
France during the First World
War the Marines distinguished
themselves in their usual manner
In France over 1500 decorations
' were awarded Marines for their
1 valor and heroism. Wouldn't- you
I like to help maintain and contri
1 bute to the line record this small
! body of meu has made for itself?
Young white men between the
! ages of IT and 30. who are single
and without dependents, in sound
physical condition, and of good,
character, with common school,
education are urged to see the
Recruiting Officer at the Post
Office Building in Rocky Mount
between the lat and 12tb of July.

abor i n the State to arrange (or

ed to register to be released from

lufficient length of time to enable
heni to discharge their duty of

5ard.
The people of North Carolina
lave responded nobly to every
?all for service heretofore made
upon them. We take pride in the
Fact that this State has been
lingularly free of recalcitrance,
malingering and subversive ac
tivities More than 450.000 of a
?ur young men marched up to the ,
places set apart for registration ?
and registered on October" 16. <
1940, with hardly a murmur of ]
dissatisfaction or complaint. I feel i
that those who are required to I
register on this second tegistra- I
