Wilkes is moving all too slow ly toward the E bond goal ot $160,000 in the current Victory I*-Loan campaign and bonds must tie purchased at a faster rate it the goal is to be reached. Sales to date total approxl- matey one-half the E bond quota All E bond sales during the Ij month ot December will count on the goal, but the Victory Loan ormniiatlon is urging that the qiiftto be reached by Christmas.

Without excep tion, Wilkes has reached every war bond quota, and the people are being urged to buy now in appreciation of victory and to furnish money to finance the se curing of the peace, the return of service men to their homes, re- habilitaion of wounded veterans and care of dependents. Sales are being handled in North Wllkesboro by block lead ers and retail stores. Rural com munities have chairmen and vol unteer workers to aid in the cam paign. Intensified effort now on the part of all divisions of the Victory Loan organisation can put the county over the top in this final effort. 0- [inner 5 Gaines fliers Creek boys won their ^th straight basketball game Tuesday night by defeating Tay- lorasvllle 39 to 33.

Unney, of Wllkes- boro, recently received his dis- cliarge from the Marine Corps afler a long period of service on the aircraft carrier Wasp. The following article by a Ma rine Corps correspondent tells of Pfc. Llnney’s activities on the ship: By Sgt. Allen R. Matthews, a Ma rine Corps Correspondent. Oahu. T. H. (Delayed).—Two North Carolina Marines, “plank owners,” aboard the mighty air craft carrier Wasp, have won a trans-Pacific “race” with their ship and will accompany it to the States to the East Coast observ ance of Navy Day on October 27. The Marines, who earned plank owner title by virtue of being members of the crew since the ship’s commissioning, are Opl. Pelton E. Magee, of Plymouth, N, C., and Pfc. Joseph Linney, of Wilbesboro, N. C. According to seafaring custom, upon the decommissioning of a ship, original members of the crew are entitled to a piece of deck planking inscribed with the names of ship officers and of en gagements in which the vessel participated. Magee and Linney, both of whom have received letters of all engagements of the vessel and in the Marine occupation of the Yokosuka naval base after the capitulation of Japan. It was this occupation which set off the oceanic chase by the men. a pursuit which ended suc cessfully only a few days ago. Magee and Linney, along with others of the Wasp’s Marine de tachment, joined Marines from the capital ships ot the remain der of the Third Fleet to form the Third Fleet Marine Landing Force. The force came together aboard two transports, to which they were transferred from their home ships by breeches buoys in the first mass action of this kind in history. During the course of the oc cupation, the Wasp, standing off the coast of Honshu, was dam aged severely by a typhoon. Forced to put about for Pearl Harbor for repairs and refitting, it left the waters of Japan just as its detachment was being evacu ated from Yokosuka, its mission complete. The detachment, attempting to catch the Wasp, followed to Eni- wetok by transport, missed the' carrier there and continued to this base by escort carrier where (he refitting of the larger vessel is being completed. 'The storm damage was the sec ond of major proportions suf fered by the Wasp since it was commissioned in November, 1943. In March of this year, after es caping almost unscathed despite a series of hot actions against the enemy, the carrier took a direct Chief of Police J. E. Walker, cooperating in the U. S. Secret Service Crime Prevention Pro gram, today warned merchants and their customers to be on guard against check thieves and forgers. During the pre-holiday season the chief said these crimi nals take advantage of crowded streets and overworked clerks to "reap a harvest” by stealing and forging large numbers of checks. Here are some safeguards sug gested by Chief J. B. Walker; Persons who expect checks by mall should make arrangements for some'one to be at home to re ceive them when they arrive and see that they are kept In a safe place until cashed. Merchants should instruct their employes to use greater care in accepting commercial and government checks, especially from strangers. They should be cautioned to re quire positive identification and make a note on the check the type of identification presented. The check should always be en dorsed in the presence of the per son cashing it and the endorse ments should be carefully com pared with the signatures on identification offered. The em ploye cashing the check should initial it In order to fix the re sponsibility and later to help him remember the transaction should the check turn out to be a for gery. Every person cashing a check should always ask himself the question: “If this check is returned as a forgery, will I be able to locate the forger and re cover my money?” Said Chief J. E. Walker: “Neither customer nor merchants can afford to suffer the loss of a forged check when simple pre-, cautions could have prevented it. Treat your check as though it was cash. If you receive a check, protect it from thieves. Board Chairman mviiti'miii“****************' ,T. B.
