CAROLINA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1042 (Eight Pages) NUMBER 37 GOES BACK TO WAR MEMORIAL TO WORLD WAR I VETERANS DONATED To Scrap Drive To Be Made Into Useful War Material To Help Defeat Hitler, Mussolini and Hiroljito; Detachment of Army Boys From Goldsboro Take Gun Away Monday The big German Cannon that has occupied a preferred position on the Court Square since the lali of 1921, as a memory to Franklin County World War No. 1 Veterans, was sent back to war Monday to enter the con flict against its original makers. This cannon was captured somewhere in Frapce in 1918 by the Allied forces in conflict with the Germans, and was, among others used by the United States to give out to any of the Ameri can organizations wishing such a marker *r a memorial to the boys who served in that war. The Loulsburg Chapter of the (former) American Legion Aux iliary and the American Legion Post, with the cooperation of the general public and the County and Town Commissioners, took early steps to secure one of these guns, with" the result that in No vember 1921 the County Com missioners gave permission to place the gun on the Court Square as a suitable place for such a marker. The gun was secured ? the government giving the giln and the people of com munity paying the freight and cost of installing it ? and was placed on the northwest corner of the Court Square where it re mained until in 1936 when the Court House was remodeled, when its location was changed to what was intended to be a more ?permanent location on the north side of the Court House, where it remained until Monday morn ing when it was rei&aved gnd sent on its wiy to help fight an other war against the enemy' from which it was taken in; 1918. Many never understood why the Cannon was kept chained to a tree in its first location. No, not any one was afraid it would be stolen, but as It was located on a slight grade and It begun to move down hill the American Legion Auxiliary purchased a lock and chain ana secured it to a tree to keep tt from rolling off the Court Square. The Installation of the Can non on the Court Square In 1921' was with reverent and appropri ate exercises, and likewise its departure was with much inter est. enthusiasm and appropriate, though not formal activity. Second Lieut. Carl C. Smith. Jr.. with Privates Jones, Pisca telli, Fezza and Pfc. Carl A. Meek of the Quartermaster De tachment of the Army Air Force Technical School, at Ooldsboro, received the gun and Issued proper receipt to O. M. Beam, Chairman of the Local Salvage Committee and loaded It, with the assistance or a large number of spectators, on a large Army truck. The gun is to be weigh ed and Franklin County is to be given credit for its weight in Scrap. The weight was various ly estimated at from about 7,000 to 10,000 pounds. Before the gun was ^-moved American Legion Auxiliary mem bers secured Mr. W. F. Shelton to make a photo of the guh.for its files to record its having been placed In memory of the War No. 1 Veterans. In the pic ture was included Tracy K. Stockard, Adjutant Jambes Post American Legion, G. M. Beam. Chairman Salvage Drivt, W. C. Webb, Mayor of Loulsburg, Mrs. Hugh W. Perry, Past State Pres ident American Legion Auxiliary and A. F. Johnson, Editor Franklin Times. On the gun were Lt. Carl C. Smith, Jr., Pvts. Jones, Piscatelli, Fezza nad Pfc. Cark A. Meek, of the Quarter master Detachment Army Air Force Technical School at Oolds boro. Before contributing this gun to the Salvage Drive contact was i made with all members of the American Legion Post and form er American Legion Auxiliary, by their respective officers and re ceived their consent and approv al, which was concurred in by the Boards of Town and County Commissioners and practically all 'individual citizens giving ex pression to their wishes. ft was understood that the government proposed to the or ganizations that In the event that they turned the gun over to the Salvage Committee, It. would return another suitable marker after the present war has been won.

White, Vice President, Repub lic Steel Corporation, explains the urgency of the scrap situation in their plants as follows: "Last winter and spring the scrap situation was so acute tfctet Republic Steel Corporation had one or more open hearth furnace standing idle continuously from November through May. Had suf ficient scrap been available these furnaces could have produced 173,000 additional tons of ingots. "Since May Republic has, been able to obtain adequate supplies of scrap for current operations but have been unable to build up slocks for the winter months when scrap collections will again be curtailed. "New blast furnaces financed by the Government will ease this situation to some extent but Re public's ingot capacity has also been increased since last winter and we are very much afraid that we will lose at least as much in got production between now and the spring of 1943 as we did last year."

It said reports on casualties have dot been received, but It Is be lieved that all of the O'Brien's personnel and most of the Mere dith's were rescued. ? v . ? Normal complement of each vessel Is about 175 officers and 1MB: ? Jf . It wis not revealed how the destroyers were lost ? whether by sea or air action. They brought to 12 the number of American warships and auxiliaries gunk in the Solomons campaign. (?round Lull The communique revealed a continued lull In enemy ground activity on Guadalcanal and in dicated that American fliers still are bearing the brunt of the fighting. They shot down a total of 12 Japanese planes Sunday and Mon day and damaged two more en emy warships ? a destroyer and a cruiser, which was "stopped by at least one bomb hit." the com munique said.
