Monday, May 23, 1949 "Wear A Poppy," Urges Legion Commander AH members of The American Legion are called upon to wear a poppy on Poppy Day, Saturday, May 28, by E. P. Robinson, Commander of Wilkes Post of the Legion. Urging that veterans of both world wars set an example of reverence f x the war dead by wearing the memorial ilcmer throughout -the day, Commander Robinson said: "Passage of the years has not dimmed our memory of those comrades of ours who served by our sides and who gave their lives for America. Let us, then, show that we remember them and honor their sacrifice by wearing our memorial flower, the poppy, on Poppy Day. In this observance war veterans should set the example for all citizens. "Members of the American Legiou Auxiliary, our wives, mothers, sisters and daughters will distribute the flowers on the streets on Poppy Day and receive contributions for welfare work among needy veterans and veterans' children of our county. Knowing as we do the great and r reel tor this phasa of Legion and jLuxili* acv~e shcind be as generous j\r ~eans permi: when receiving c~" *^T?ies. "Members of The American Legion should be among the first to put on poppy Day and should give every cooperation toward making the observance of the day a complete success." Cancer Society Doing Great Work A Cm...£ under waw to raise funds i"» Wilkes courr- :cr ;ne America- "--cer < I Cancer is one of f--> -"eadl- :-:"^rs which medical science has no: con' Yearly the toll of lives taken by the disease i is apalling. The American Cancer Society uses funds for research in continual efforts to find cures and preventative measures. Some day, with continued backing of the people in financing, the problem will be solved. But the American Cancer Society does not confine its efforts to research. Funds are used to educate people concerning cancer, and especially of the importance of finding out eafcfr that a cancer has started on a humane-body. Already the medical profession knows enough about cancer to cure the little ones before they do too much damage or spread too much. If these cases can be found lives can be saved. The American Cancer Society proposes to assist in this work. W. C. Grier is chairman of the Wilkes chapter, and Dr. John T. Waylnad is fund campaign chairman. The goal for Wilkes county is $2,000. Forty cents from every dollar will be used in Wilkes county, aiding in the financing of work to diagnose and cure cancer, and for educational purposes. ■■ o ■ How Much Oil Hare We? Dr. Oustav iigloff, who is one of the world's leading authorities on petroleum, recently said that this country should stop worrying about an oil shortage in the future. For oil, he went on, is "running out of our ears." The facts, as presented by Dr. Egloff, are dramatic.. In the 100 years since oil was discovered in Pennsylvania, we have used only 35,000,000,000 barrels. We have explored only one per pent of the tc tal sedimentary areas in this country |for oil. Estimates say there is a reserve of 100,000,000 barrels underground, and! at least as much off-shore. Becent experience provides a striding example. Last year, we produced an anprecedented volume of oil—2,000,000,000 barrels in those 12 months. Yet t}ew methods added an equal amount to our reserves. In Dr. Egloff's words, "We discovered 4,000,000,000 barrels of oil; in one year." What it all amounts to is that we tyve immense quantities of crude oil—and'we have a producing and distributing industry whose efficiency and vision are beyond question. Technological progress is being made at a dizzy rate. We get more and more usable products out of each barrel of crude, and better products. j % Wilkes Should Vote ] For Bond Proposals » People of Wilkes county are expected to approve by big majority the proposals for the state to issue $200,000,000 bonds for rural roads and $25,000,000 in stjate bonds for school buildings. From the road bond issue Wilkes woiald receive in road construction and improvement three million, sixty-six thousand dollars. To pay these bonds the state would increase gasoline tax one cent per gallon. There would be no increase in other stfite taxes, land taxes or any other kind of raxes. From the school bond issue WiUjces would receive $301,400, which, added, to $250,000 already appropriated flor Wilkes, would make a total of state funds for school buildings of $551,400. Issuing the $25.000,000 in state bonds for school buildings would not increase taxes. As badly as rural roads are needed; in Wilkes, it is inconceivable that Wilkes people would vote against the road b«?nd proposal. In the early days of highway construction the people M rural Wilkes, with others in rural areas all over £he state, paid to build highways around -cities. Now the shoe is on the other fpot and the rural people are to get a' justly deserved break. With the need for school buildings and additions causing a crisis in th» schjool system, it seems that the state bond proposal should be unanimously approved; in Wilkes. There are not encurb ciass'-oojtns 1 in Wilkes to taiic rare oi me nur:ocri o:1 teachers allotted ine schorls The iutjire j citizenship of Wilke3 county is handicapped by this great need. j • LIFE'S BETTER WAY • WALTER EL ISEMflOUR Hifh P«intt N.

McGavock of the Mathematics Department. Davidson community was the first recipient, and jnerited this Miss Johnsie Shelton of the recognition because she has been a 'friend of students and townspeople and served in a truly Christian spirit of love." The senior Sullivan awardee Is C. M. (Don) Coffey, of North Wilkesboro, who was cited for "high scholastic ranking, boys' work, specifically with Boy Scouts both white and colored." The final award presented by President Cunningham was the Agnes Sentelle Brown Scholarship established in 1914 by the late Dr. M. B. Sentelle "on the basis of outstanding promise as indleated by character, personality, intellectual ability, and scholarship." John 8. Lyles, a Junior of Chester, 8. C., received this recognition.
