“Camp Page” in honor of the late
Sergeant Allison Martin Page,
47th Company, 5th Regiment,
United States Marine Corps, form
er resident of Moore county,
North Carolina, who was killed in
action in the Belleau Wood defen
sive action, June 25th, 1918. In
speaking before the Regiment of
I the C. M. T. C., assembled in hol
low square for the ceremony,
General Manus MeCloskey, com
manding officer of Fort Bragg and
Camp Page, said, “I was command
ing officer of the Twelfth Regi
ment of Field Artillery that did
all of the artillery work for the
5th Regiment of Marines in the
vicinity of Chateau-Thierry and
Belleau Wood. Allison Page was
a member of that Regiment of
Marines. The German high com
mand at that time was making
what, in their estimation, was to
| be the last determined ‘push’ to
wards Paris. The sign posts at our
front lines read ‘Paris-72 kilo
meter’ or only 45 miles away. Be
tween the Germans and Paris lay
only a thin line of worn-out
French poilus and the unexpect
ed Second Division of American
troops which had been rushed to
the gap by motor lorry. For
seventy-two hours that line of
American Infantry and Marines
occupied positions in shallow ‘fox
holes’ while my regiment of artil
lery kept a solid curtain of fire
between them and the German
lines. We stopped only to swab
the bores of our guns, or to re
place one that had blown up. The
German troops who succeeded in
penetrating that barrage met first
the rifle and machine gun fire of
the Marines and then the Marines
themselves in hand-to-had combat.
They were stopped and finally
driven back. It was during the
counter-offensive against the Ger
man positions that Allison Martin
Page made the supreme sacrifice
for his country. As we pay our
humble tribute to the memory of
Allison Page here today, I stand
before you knowing that you will
carry on the spirit exemplified by
him in order that it may not perish
from the face of the earth but will
be carried on throughout future
generations—love of God, love of
country and love of home. I re
peat again my firm conviction that
America is the greatest nation in
the world today to live up to the
Golden Rule, ‘Peace on earth, good
will to men’. You young men, if
this nation is to live up to its
manifest destiny, must live the
life of the true Christian; not the
man who endures persecution and
repays blows with soft speech, but
the militant Christian who is will
ing to fight for his faith for his
ideals. I say to you and to all the
youth of this nation, ‘Fight evil
as you would fight disease. Live
Christian lives, but defend your
ideals’. It is only through such
practices that our tribute to Alli
son Martin Page may be real and
not a mere figure of speech.”
Mrs. Ella Martin Page of High
Point, the mother of the late Ser
geant Page, was the honored guest
of General McCloskey and the C.
M. T. C. Regiment at Camp Page
yesterday. She was accompanied
by Mrs. Edward Harrison also of
High Point and by Mrs. T. B.
Wilder of Aberdeen. These ladies,
together with the commanding
general, Colonel McAlpine, Major
R. A. Gordan and Mrs. Laura
Strange, were the guests of Bat
tery “E” at dinner. Other distin
guished visitors who were present
at Camp Page for the ceremony
were Mr. and Mrs. Reid Page, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Shamburger and
their son, Chris Shamburger, and
J. R. Page, all of Aberdeen; Major
Nash, senior vice commander of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars for
the state of North Carolina;
Reverend Doctor Wallace of Lum
berton, Department Chaplain of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars for
North Carolina; and William
Cheney of the Fayetteville chapter
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Immediately after the formal
naming of Camp Page, the dis
tinguished trainees were formed
front and center and the Regiment
was massed for the presentation
of awards for achievement in
military and athletic activities.
The Corps Area Civilian Aide’s
Leadership Medal was presented to

Anthony Adverse
Is Reputed To Be
Marvelous Film
Will Appear At Sunset On
Monday And Tuesday,
Sept. 14-15
Hervey Allen’s monumental lit
erary classic, “Anthony Adverse,”
brought to the screen with all its
wealth of color and dramatic fire,
has been booked by Manager
Francis White for the Sunset
Theatre where it will have it? local
premiere on Monday.
Fredric March has the stellar
role, with beautiful and talented
Olivia de Havilland playing the
leading feminine role.
In order to give this sweeping
panoramic story the magnificence
and magnitude it merited, Warner
Bros., the producers, are said to
have spared neither time, nor
effort, nor cost. In fact more than
two years were spent in preparing
the script, in research work to
make pefect the atmospheric set
tings, and in the actual filming of
the many and intricate scenes.
There never has been a cast
to approach this one in size, and
few that will equal it in talent.
There are ninety eight principals
with speaking parts, 2,550 bit play
ers and extras, and nearly 3,000
artisans and technicians worked
behind the cameras to make the
picture letter perfect. More than
1,000 scenes were “shot" for the
production on 131 mammoth sets.
The colorful and picturesque
backgrounds are set in five coun
tries on three continents. The
scenes open in France, in the
beautiful countryside and a great
chateau, sweep through the Swi -s
and Italian Alps to the quaint
city of Leghorn, Italy, then to
Havana, Cuba, on to Africa and
the great slave marts of other
days, back to Italy and again to
France to the court of Napoleon
Bonaparte.

Aid For Natives
Of Alaska Sought
Bv U, S. Senator
% *
American Firms Bring Own
Employees; Natives Can
not Find Employment
Liquor Problem
Indians, Aleuts, Eskimos
Each A Distinct Group;
Complicating Problem
United States Senator Elmer
Thomas of Oklahoma, chairman of
the Senate’s committee on Indian
Affairs, will take steps when con
gress meets to come to the aid of
the Alaska natives. He has but re
cently returned from a trip through
this northern territory and his
findings indicate the need of im
mediate federal aid to save these
people from themselves and from
annihilation at the hands of the
whites who are coming to Alaska
in ever growing numbers.
Two Major Problems
The two major problems which
he intends to bring before the
Senate for legislation are liquor
control and employment of Indianh,
i Aleuts and Eskimos, the three
groups comprising the native popu
lation, as distinct from the trans
planted whites.
Senator Thomas declared the
territorial district attorney at
Nome testified there is no law
against selling or giving intoxi
cants to natives. The latter’s inter
pretation of existing law held that
congressional repeal of prohibition
also repealed the territory’s prohi
bition, although natives had been
barred from drinking even prio?- to
the Volstead Act.
Senator Thomas said in an inter
view here that he is going to urge
legislation to isolate Alaksan na
tives from drink in much the same
manner that American Indians are
protected under federal control.
Three Distinct Groups
“The Wheeler-Howard bill, pass
ed two years ago,” explained the
committee chairman, “placed Alas
kan natives in the same relation
ship to the Federal Government as
the Indians of the states. These
new wards embrace three distinct
groups: the Indians of the south
east, the Aleuts of the central and
Aleutian Island area, and the Es
kimos of the north country. The
natives make up 30,000 of the ter
ritory’s entire 60,000 population,
and they must earn their living in
the four industries Alaska has—
fishing, fur-trapping, mining and
reindeer.
“There has been a tendency for
American corporations to send
their own crews into Alaska and
deny work to the natives. Some
thing must be done to prevent
these invaders from taking things
out of Alaska without spending or
hiring in return.”
£ Senator Thomas cited instances
where fisheries and dredge-miner3
had excluded native employees. As
for fur-trapping, natives still had
plenty of opportunity to bring in
pelts, but the amount received in
cash or trade was decided one
sidedly by American traders and
dealers.
The Senator said congress was
tl>e only place where reform could
take place, because its laws under
lie Alaskan government and void
all acts of the territorial legislature
on identical subjects. He said he
doubted whether the local law
makers could pass a prohibition
law, as those who sold liquor and
the natives who vote would oppose
the movement.
He based his censure on testi
mony and his own observations
during the month-long tour which
took him and his associates to
Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks,
Nome, Teller, Keene Islands, Dutch
Harbor, all through the Aleutians
and the Bering Strait.
The group found that the trend
to community living was not bene
ficial to the natives. Thousands are
quartered in one-room homes in
towns. Those who no longer fish
and hunt for their food need in
struction on the proper choice of
canned goods’ the committee found.
Rapid progress along many com
munity fronts was reported by
schoolteachers, their wives and
school nurses, who form almost the
only contact of the Federal Gov
ernment with the routine life of the
indigenous population. Native chil
dren sometimes are grouped in
their own schools and sometimes
attend school with white children.
Jealous of Heritage
Senator Thomas reported that
each of the three native divisions
is jealous of its tribal heritage,
thus complicating the designation
of “Indians” to include them all.
He said the committee was at a
loss on how to get an overall name,
as “native” could include many
white children and those who had
been bom in Alaska.
The Senator pointed to the
August arrival of a rescue ship
'//r
Danny, a member of Kay Bros. Dancing1 Elephants, will greet his old
and new friends upon his arrival here ffi Asheboro with Kay Bros.
Circus on Monday, September 14. The circus has been enlarged to twice
its former size and is all new this year. Jl^ty featured circus acts will
be presented and admissions have been reduced for this day only. The
huge tented city will be erected on the Lewis Field on Sunset avenue
and an afternoon and evening performance will be given.
with food for “500 starving Eski
mos” as evidence of the necessity
; to begin immediately to give every
Alaskan the opportunity to earn
his own way in hunting, herding,
fishing and mining unfettered by
the squeeze tactics of objectionable
corporations, which he blamed for
the present plight of able-bodied
men in a land of plenty.
