SENSE AND NONSENSE
Don’t trouble trouble until trou
ble troubles you. This seems to be
our motto for the week and also
Mae and June’s. I wonder if a
certain movie wras involved, and
of course who else?
What’s cooking? Oh, nothing
more than a hike to Hogback Sun
day. Nice going Festus, and don’t
let anything happen to Lela Mae.
It surely does look as if the
Banther—Owen romance is get
ting serious. Is that right R. M.?
Junior T. is quite sure he will
succeed in getting a girl’s picture.
What about it Annie, did you
give it to him or did he take it?
June Lee is singing a different
song since she went to town the
other day. Could it be something
about a “Banner”? I’ll bet Mae
could give us the answer.
Earl G. seems to like Bonnie
W. better every day. Don’t let
such a beautiful romance hit the
rocks!
Madrie G. seemed terribly wor
ried the other day when the fire
signal sounded. She must have
thought Leon was going to be
burned.
Why so happy Edith? Could
the boy you saw Monday have
caused you so much joy?
There must have been some
cause for Nettie G. chasing R. M.
all over study hall Friday after
noon. R. M. just doesn’t like the
idea of another boy writing to
Nettie.
Kathleen seemed mighty anxi
ous to go to Brevard the other
day. Was it because of some one
who is leaving for the army or
for some where else.
Troy W. and Wanda G. seem
to find it quite enchanting to dis
cuss old times. Well who would
not?
Have you noticed how Burlin
M. believes in standing in with
the family. The other day he was
seen talking to Frances H. and
her little sister.
North Carolina was fourth in
peanut production last year, with
402 million pounds. Georgia led
with a billion pounds, and then
came Alabama and Texas.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has estimated that the
supply of protein feeds will be
16 percent greater in 1943, with
an increase of 15 percent in live
stock. The protein situation is
“tight.”

SELECTIVE SERVICE
(From Front Page—Second Sec.)
at 44, where it stood last year
until President Roosevelt lowered
it in his executive order stopping
voluntary enlistments in the arm
ed forces. The order provides
that men 38 through 44 who con
tinue in non-deferable jobs will be
drafted like younger men.
The announcement specifically
said that the services will be ask
ed to issue waivers whereby non
compliants, both 4-F’s and men 38
through 44, may be taken into
service for general or limited du
ty. Men previously deferred for
physical disabilities would be
drafted for limited duty.
The announcement meant that
4-F’s and average men will be
subject to the same qualifications
for deferment, regardless of de
pendency, as those in the present
inductionage bracket of 18 through
37.
Men whose dependents would
suffer hardship or whose physical
disability unfits them for military
service or work other than the
kind in which they are now eng
aged, however, will be exempted
from strict application of the or
der, it was said.
A hint of a change in the statute
of the average group had been
given last month when draft
boards were instructed to reclas
sify all 4-H men according to
occupation and dependency.
Boards were ordered to reclassify
those engaged in agricultural oc
cupations first and all others be
ginning May 1.
Registrants in the 18-through
37 group had been given until
April 1 to take steps toward get
ting out of designated non-defer
rable jobs. Those in the 38
through-44 category who are in
the non - deferable occupations
will, under the new order, have
until May 1 to do the same thing.
They will, however, be given a
further 30-day period of grace
provided they have registered with
the U. S. employment service for
a farm or other essential job and
have notified their draft board of
the registration. Otherwise, they
will be classified as available for
military service.
Other points in the announce
ment included:
1. Draft boards will cooperate
with the agriculture department’s
state and county war boards in
persuading 4-F’s between 18 and
45 to return to dairy farm produc
tion if they are not in an activity
essential to the war effort.
2. Draft boards will cooperate
with war boards in getting men
over 45 who have had dairy or
general farming experience to go
back to dairy farming, if they now
are engaged in a non-essential ac
tivity.
3. The selective service system
and the war department have
agreed that no men in service who
attained their 38th birthday prior
BOY SCOUT TROOP
(From Front Page—Second Sec.)
are 21 or 22 active members in
the troop and they collected
around 2,500 pounds of scrap, the
salvage committee reported.
The other two troops in the
county made collections, but no
final reports were available from
them, Mr. Wyatt said.
Jim Hadley is Scoutmaster of
this troop. The members include
Stanley Kappers, Richard Harris
on, Earl Hatley, Bobby Ratchford,
Bob Kappers, Kenneth Ratchford,
Donald Lee Poteet, Spaulding Mc

Kerber.

the major part of the North Amer
ican production of “concentra
ted” phosphate fertilizers has been
allocated to the United Kingdom.
to Feb. 28 will be discharged out
right from the army unless they
had applied for discharge prior to
April 1. Hereafter as outlined by
Mr. Roosevelt, those seeking re
lease from military services, will
be transferred to the enlisted re
serve corps. If they fail to get es
sential jobs, they will be recalled
to active service.

PHILLIP PRICE SAYS:
SINCERE THANKS TO ALL
I have now been operating the news stand which
the Brevard Lions club presented to me for four
weeks. Many have been kind enough to ask how
I was getting along. The purpose of this ad is to an
swer their inquiry.
I want my friends to know that I am catching
on to the business rapidly, that I am more content
than I have ever been since I lost my sight and that
trade is much better than I or the Lions expected.
To all who have bought even the smallest item from
me during these weeks I extend my deep and sincere
thanks. Those who haven’t are invited to call, even
though it may be just a social visit.
(Signed) PHILLIP PRICE, Prop.
