matic-loading shotgun capable of
holding more than 3 shells in mag

WOMEN PLANNING TO
“HOLD-UP” MOTORISTS
TO SELL WAR BONDS
Motorists who drive from
Brevard to Bosnian Friday and
Saturday are apt to be “held
up”, according to information
picked up here today.
A group of “women bandits”
are plotting to fortify themsel
ves on the side of the road and
to “hold up” every motorist
who passes those two days, a
grapevine report indicates.
These women of the Cathey’s
Creek community expect to get
money, too, from the hold-ups,
but in turn they will give beau
tiful little pieces of paper known
as “war bonds” or “war stamps.”
This unique plan for conduct
ing war bonds sales is part of
the activity of the “women at
war week” work.
Killed In Action

last Friday.
LEWIS E. JACKSON
KILLED IN ACTION
First Transylvania Man To
Die in Action. Was With
Marines In Pacific
Lewis Earle Jackson, 19, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Glover Jackson, of
Brevard, and a member of the U.
S. Marine corps, was reported kill
ed in action in a telegram receiv
ed by his parents last Friday
night.
The message, from Lieut.-Gen.
Holcomb, of the Marine corps in
Washington, said, in part:
“I deeply regret to inform you
that your son, Private First Class
Lewis E. Jackson was killed in
the performance of duty and in the
sendee to his country.”
Details as to where and when
Jackson was killed were not given
as it would be valuable information
to the enemy, the telegram stated.
Jackson’s parents believed he was
somewhere in the southwest Pa
cific.
Jackson, who volunteered for
service in the Marine corps in Jan
uary, 1942, received his basic
training at Parris Island, S. C., and
was later stationed at New River,
N. C. He was an assistant gunner.
Graduating from Brevard high
school in 1939, Jackson was a good
student and an outstanding ath
lete, and, before his enlistment,
was an employee of the local post
office. He came here with his par
ents in 1924 from Resca, Georgia.
A brother, Vance Jackson, is In
the military service. He is an
aviation cadet at Allington Field,
Texas.

Chairman, just before going to

Washington, D. C., Nov. 24

the American farmer to dedicate
the remaining weeks of 1942 to
an intensified scrap hunt. Steel
mills need more heavy scrap and
the farms are one of the best
sources of this type of metal. We
need your further help in this
farm drive and in aiding our sal
vage committees to continue this
effort throughout the next few
weeks. Mats and other material
to help you are being prepared
and will be mailed soon. All sal
vage committees are being in
structed to continue to make
available to the farmer all their
transportation facilities and man
power, and to cooperate with you
in every possible way. The na
tion is looking to the American
farmer. I am sure with your
help he will come through.

Very Successful
The final round of the 9th an

hunt starts tomorrow and ends Sat
urday, with hunting confined to
the Pisgah Ledge, North Mills

bear were brought down, J. H.

reported.
This brought the total kill for
the season to 177 deer and 13
bears. No word had been receiv
ed from the Wilderness hunts,
however.
The paper went to press too
early Wednesday to get the re
sults of the day’s hunt.

day killed the largest deer of the
season. It weighed 203 pounds.
