SCOUTS HERE Will COLLECT ALUMINUM August 1, 2, Days Set Aside To Make Canvass In Brevard Details are being worked out here this week and next, according to Dr. E. O. Roland, scoutmaster for Brevard Boy Scout Troop No. 1, for the staging of a drive on August 1 and 2 for old aluminum ware to be collected in the interest of national defense—specifically to garner aluminum for the building of planes. The Boy Scouts in Brevard will make a house to house canvass and ask housewives to donate used aluminum ware which can be spared without re placement. Used pots, pans, and other aluminum utensils will be accepted, but it is emphasized that no pieces be given which will have to be replaced. The drive here for aluminum is a part of a nationwide collection in which it is estimated enough old aluminum will be obtained to build at least 2,000 planes. However, the drive here is being staged later than others throughout this state and the nation. The days of July 24 and 25 had been set aside as the time for the drive, but Dr. Roland said it would be inconvenient for the local scouts to make the canvass on those days. Further information on the drive will be given next week. HEADS O. N. S. F. FUND OTTO ALEXANDER, State Sen ator from this district, has been named by Governor Broughton as Transylvania County Chairman of the Old North State Fund. REPORTS INDICATE ARMY CAMP TO BE HERE BY JULY 30 Original Plans Had Been To Set Up Units Here Early In July Unofficial reports, received in Bre vard Wednesday were to the effect that the United States Army pack artillery camp will be set up in - »sgan Forest aiA»ut July 30. Plans, as first announced, called for bringing 1500 enlisted men and officers here for a 60-day training period, the two units to be established shortly after July 1. Included in the equipment scheduled for the Pisgah Forest area just outside of Brevard, calls for 1500 pack mules, and a number of pieces of light artil lery. Under present plans one battalion of the Fort Bragg artillery will be located at Horse Cove, just east of John’s Rock CCC camp, and the other at the foot of the mountain on Avery Creek near the present White Pines camp ground. The men will be given training in mountain climbing, forest warfare, cov ered maneuvers arid camouflage, it was understood. Light pieces of field ar tillery of the howitzer machine gun class will be in use. There will be no actual firing of guns, under the plans as discussed by the army officers, due to the fact that the area to be used is a part of the game and fish refuge for the Pisgah District. The mules and horses will be kept on picket line when not in use, and the men will be station ed at the two locations designated. The training period remains at 60 days, but will carry over into Septem ber instead of ending in August as original plans called for. Change, Oh Change! And nothing is certain but change. So have said the philosophers down through the centuries. And of a certainty their philosophy is true, especially when it comes to such matters as title letters— on the Brevard Post Office building. Lo! these three times now that the golden letters spelling out the words, “Brevard, North Carolina”, have been installed over the colonial archway at the Post Office, and the most recent ar rangement looks as though it might be correct. In each of the other instances the spacing was adjudged to be incor rect by those with an artist’s view point. They must have been right, for Uncle Sam has had the lettering chang ed each time there was a yell of “Not right! ” Civic Club Sets * Important Meet An important meeting: of the recrea tion committee of the Women’s Civic club, of which Mrs. J.

RUSSIA SAYS ARMY MAKES GAINS, BUT GERMANY SAYS NO Both Sides Claiming They Are Making Headway On War Front The Soviet high command reported Wednesday that German mechanized forces driving to within 145 miles of Leningrad had been “hurled back west ward” in a fierce battle in which Nazi panzer units were encircled and wiped out “section by section.” The German luftwaffe was reported on Wednesday to have blasted a path of blazing destruction ahead of advanc ing German armies, now declared to be close to Novgorod, just 100 miles south east of Leningrad, and in possession of the easternmost bunkers of the Stalin line on the road to Moscow. An authoritative government spokes man said that “any assertion that Ger man troops are at present in Kiev is premature.” Although the high com mand had asserted that German forces were closing in on the Ukraine capital, the spokesman said there was “no in formation, either official or semi-official, bearing out any belief that German troops already are there.” Twenty-one years of French rule in Syria and Lebanon ended at noon Tues day as the mandate was turned over to British occupation under the terms of Monday’s Acre armistice. These terms gave to Great Britain and her Free French allies all naval and military aviation facilities and equipment in Syria and Lebanon, including ships, planes and fuel.
