WILL START BROADCAST TO RUSSIA Washington—The United States will begin broadcasting Russian language programs by short wave 'pearly next Fall to the land be ^hind the “iron curtain,’’ accord ing to plans now being perfected at the State Department. While officials are very reluc tant to give out information pend ing final decisions, it is known that they estimate the Russians may have as many as 75,000 short wave receivers capable of picking up the program*. The broadcasts will consist mostly of straight news reports with some commentary of a re view and background nature, ac cording to policy decisions thus far made, and there may be some broadcasting also of American music, mainly folk music. 54,000 GERMANS ARE ORDERED FROM AUSTRIA Vienna — Russian occupation authorities have ordered 54,000 native Germans and other fore igners in the Russian zone of oc cupation in Austria to leave the country by 6 a.m. Monday, it was learned last night. A reliable source who declined to be quoted by name said the new order was closely connected with the confiscation of “German assets” which the Russians an nounced Saturday. Austrian of ficials said the Soviets were claiming 75 per cent of the re public’s industrial capacity. Red Army and Austrian Com munist party trucks were posted outside the home of the non-Aus trians ordered to leave. The Rus sians order told them they would be permitted to take only 30 pounds of belongings. They were to be sent to the French zone in Germany. MOTHER CABRINI IS MADE AMERICAN SAINT Vatican City, Italy — Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, whose miracles in good works extended over the United States, Latin America and part of Europe, will become the first American saint today in one of the most solemn and elaborate ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church. The vaulted basilica of St. Peter’s, where Pope Pius XII will conduct the canonization ceremony, has been polished and decorated with rich draperies and gold and silver candelabra, and huge paintings have been hung, depicting the miracles attributed ' to Mother Cabrini, founder of the sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jc?’ U. S. WILL HELP TO REBUILD KOREA AREA Washington—The United States Government has decided to try to make democracy work in as much of Korea as possible, with or with out the co-operation of Russia, diplomatic officials said The Soviet Union was reported by these informants to have ig nored two appeals for co-opera tion in political preparations de signed to restore Korean inde pendence. So, the American mil itary government in the country, to which the Allied powers long ago promised independence, is go ing ahead on its own. Russia occupies the northern section of Korea and the United States the southern part. The sit uation is not unlike that in Ger many in that each occupying power is exclusively responsible for what happens in its zone. STORM LASHES COAST, THEN MOVES TO SEA Elizabeth City—A storm which lashed at North Carolina coasts throughout Sunday was reported by the Coast Guard Sunday night to be passing out to sea off Cape Hatteras.

High Hopes For World Peace Are Voiced By Pres. Truman _ i Gettysburg—President Truman, filled with optimism over pros pects for agreement on the Europ ean peace treaties, expressed a hope for a united world pursuing the paths of eternal peace. Conditions in the world as the aftermath of history’s greatest war are much like those which beset this nation after the War Between the States, he declared, and this knowledge can be a tre mendous help in guiding the for ces of peace. The Clyef Executive, looking solemnly at the Gettysburg peace . monument dedicated by former President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, read the inscription at the base: “Peace eternal in a nation unit ed.” If you change “nation” to “world,” he said, you would real ly have something. As reporters met him at the monument during a brief vaca tion tour of this historic national ' shrine, the President expressed the wish he could make an an nouncement there that a peace treaty had been signed. Th? newsmen asked him about his transatlantic telephone con versation Friday with Secretary of State Byrnes in which he was told of the four-power foreign minister agreement to start a gen ral treaty writing conference in Paris July 29. It looks very much like we are going to get a peace treaty one of these days, he said, and his whole countenance bright en'ed. The President and Mrs. Tru in'an, drove here from “Shangri j La,” the residential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains where Kay’s 5 and 10 is standing between you and the higher prices -0O0-: Our Prices Will Remain The Same As The OP A Prices We Have Had -0O0-— When Lower Prices Are Made Kay’s Will Make Them they have been spending the long Fourth of July week-end. Looking refreshed and relaxed after daily swims in a mountain pool and walks through wood land trails he confided that he felt fine and rested. The Tru mans will drive back to the White House after lunch today. Fred D. Bard Home From Navy Fred D.

I SPARTA SPECTACLES BY EMORYETTA REEVES < A plan is now underway among he members of the Business and Professional Women’s Club to change the name of the organiza ion. At least quite a few sug gestions have been made to that :ffect. It all started with a check-up >n the membership. Miss Doris Wagoner, president of the club, A'as going over the list and she -cept noticing that she was hav ng to change a number of the lames from Miss to Mrs. This xcited a little curiosity and upon nvestigation she discovered that since the club’s beginning in De cember, 1945 (which takes in a seriod of little more than six months) seven members of the club had gotten married. The organization began with an entertainment for the service men . . . and each of the seven jirls have married service men . . of course, that had nothing to do with the matrimonial side of the question, but it is a coin cidence, isn’t it? There was Mexa and Bob Nich ols, Opal and Charles Castevens, Nellie and Walter Bell, Kitty and Netchel Duncan, Faye and Cleo Fteeves, Thelma and Pawnee Jor dan and then Sue Reeves, who is to be married in August. (We counted her among the seven). Just one more thing . . . Thelma Hines and Pawnee Jordon were 'troduced at that first party in cptember, so with all facts as they are, it was deemed perfect ly logical to change the name to ‘Mrt’dmonial Bureau.” After all, it was pointed out, Sparta has no such organization and what could be a more worthy cause! ! ! * * * They’re at it again . . . Eugene i.rwin, Dale Shores and James Hardin . . . reconditioning a Model T Ford and according to Mrs. Hardin they have a number of elaborate plans for the decor ation once they get the motor in top-notch condition. These plans include such phrases as, “Don’t augh, lady, your daughter may be in here.” We just hope that the reconditioning job is more suc cessful than the one attempted by Dale and Wade Irwin before Arade’s entrance into the navy several months ago . . Remember they tore up the car so that they or an experienced mechanic couldn’t get it together again. There are a number of women in Alleghany county better off by one pair of nylons than they were two weeks ago . . . they went thick and furious at the car rival, twenty pairs every night. And some women like Mrs. A. V. Choate, Mrs. R. F. Crouse, Miss Clyde Fields, a number of others were especially lucky and drew two pairs ... And the rains came! ! Not a few people in th£ county were thankful for the downpour last week. The grass already looks greener and the crops that were beginning to suffer from lack of water have completely recovered. * * * Doctor Fox and golf! When you think of one you just nat urally think of the other. But Doc’s attention has been diverted from his favorite sport, at least we thought it might have been since we overheard him talking to Bob Allison and Joe Bill Reed the other day. Said every time he passed the Roaring Gap lake (that’s where the girl’s camp is now in progress) he wanted to go swimming instead of golfing. Spartans, who were peacefully sleeping Sunday morning around three o’clock were suddenly awakened by what might have been a spectacular reappearance of the James Gang, at least it lunded like one of those now famous shoot-’em-ups. A truck blazed the trail, back firing and sputtering through main street, from the square to the lower Shell Station and back again and then at least four cars followed, all of them blowing their horns at the same time. Fire-crackers and what must have been a shot gun. went off at regular intervals. The noise and confusion continued until the first streaks of dawn were break ing .. . But most of the townspeople were already up . . . and had been for hours. Dr. C. A. Thompson and Lu ther Halsey were aroused by the noise and Mr. Halsey got his gun down to see what it was all about. Clinton Halsey even came up the street to see if he could find out anything. John Mac Miles was so disturbed that he didn't even go back to bed and Paul Joines found that trying to sleep was a useless task. The younger generation was upset too and Bennie Reeves, Pat Miles and Ronny Edwards had plenty to say about it. even if it was rather early in the morning. Crockett Lucas declared that he was afraid to go back to bed, fearing that some member of the gang might drive right into his house . . . Cleve Nichols was also up wandering around and trying to find the cause of all the dis 1 turbance “It’s getting dangerous to be safe around this town,” one citi zen remarked- S' The names of the culprits were not revealed, in fact they were not caught ... . but some of them were seen and action is being taken to prevent the recurrence of such disturbances in the fu ture. And just like the escapades of the notorious James brothers, it provided the main topic of con versation in town on Monday morning. lMll ft j yr *>r I Hm^snBicy The OPA has keen terminated, but this is to announce that we will ...
