Since an inteUigent understand ing of the present international situation necessitates not only ac curate, but also the most recent facts, the small but basic re sources of Presbyterian Junior Col lege Library have been placed at the disposal of the public and our men in the services. One of the objectives of this policy, which is the latest effort on the part of P. J. C. to assist in bringing about a total and just peace, is to pro vide material instructing men and women of the "home front” how to be of more assistance to their . country and the allies. Noteworthy ' in this respect are the numerous publications dealing with the con servation of natural resources, gasoline, rubber, fuel oil, and food. To the layman interested in air planes and flying the library of fers several recent books on the fundamentals of aeronautics. More specialized studies are avail able to the soldier desiring ad vanced information on the con struction of airplanes, the func tion and purpose of airplane in struments, and aerodynamics, to mention only a few. All of the practical material, however, is not confined to air craft. Elementary and advanced texts, standard reference works, and periodicals in chemistry and physics will appeal to those sol diers interested in increasing their opportunities for advancement. The resources of P. J. C. li brary, however, are not limited to the applied sciences. The library, for example, is exceptionally rich in theological works. Other branches of learning—philosophy, social science, language and litera ture, fine arts, to mention only a tew—are well represented. Thei fiction mile tion, c assicai. and modern, is unusually complete. i In addition to the resources of P. J. C. library, the books in the libraries of the University of North Carolina and Duke Uni-! versity have been made available by means of the interlibrary loan system. Any book may be ob tained from these universities by giving your request to the libra rian, who will obtain the book within three or four days. The library is open daily from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m., Monday through Friday; on Saturday from 9 to 12 a. m.; on Sunday, from 2 to 6 p, m. All books, except reference and reserved books, may be taken from the library for a period of two weeks. Any borrowed book kept beyond the loan period becomes1 subject to the fines in force. A fine of five cents per day is charged for books kept longer than two books. To help defray operating costs, repair worn books, and re place lost books it will be neces sary to make a small charge of one cent per day on books taken from the library. The library is operated by a capable and efficient staff willing to serve the public and the men of the service. Mrs. Beck, the assistant librarian, is on duty from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m.

Robert Doares Paints Work of Medical Soldier The following article, taken from the Camp Pickett newspaper, will be of special interest: The work of the medical soldier in the field of battle has been the inspiration for a series of 15 oil paintings by a soldier-artist now in the Medical Replacement Train ing Center at Camp Pickett. Pvt. Robert G. Doares, Co. A, 4th Ben during his baste train ing here as a medical soldier, made pencil sketches of some of the phases of field training and in his spare time converted those sketches into the 15 oil paintings. They depict everything from a medical man pinning the emer gency medical tag on a wounded soldier to his arrival at the evacu ation hospital. Pvt. Doares studied art under Harvey Dunn, a western artist now residing in New York. (Dunn was the official artist for the War De partment during the last war and his war paintings are now hanging in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington.) Native of Maxton, N. C. Doares, who is a native of Max ton, N. C., has always been inter ested in painting, and in 1929 he left his home for New York City with the idea of studying art seri ously. He was side-tracked for almost four years on other jobs, however, but finally decided to take up painting in earnest. (“I was going to be an artist or bust!”) He landed a job in a large de partment store and began studying painting at night "on my own.” A little less than two years ago he got a "break” when he was com-1 missioned to do a series of eight sports murals for Wanamaker's in New' York. Later he did some ad vertising for that store in connec tion with the New York World's Fair. Pv.t Doares began studying with Artist Dunn last fall. Then came! the opportunity to do another set! of murals for Wanamaker’s, but I war was declared and the project j postponed. Doares came into the! Army last July 1.

Sharpe program committee for the meeting, and Mr. Hutto , who was in Charlotte over the past week end, extended for the club the in vitation to Dr. Miller for the meet ing at the regular time, November 16, but Dr. Miller's previous en gagements made it impossible for him to come on that date and the date was moved up to suit his con venience. Dr. Miller is in great demand as a speaker and the club is fortunate in being able to secure him for its meeting next month. i Davidson. Oct. 29.

It's “4 Shot English" or “Sally Rand" now instead of “Red" since the big deer drive this week. "4 Shot” is proudly displaying two mile norns in me Darner sn*>p. but is minus the tail of his best shirt. Bob Bullard said when they found him after the kill he was so hot with excitement that he was sitting on a log. doing a strip tease, using his shirt as a fan, and wearing only his hat and shoes. A little two-point calf was lying at his feet. Anyway, Red says he had more fun, and got more shots than anyone in the party, and that when the Big One. that got away from him was slain a few minutes after he had missed him four times, he was carrying two of his bullets. Red got the little one just a few seconds later. Get him 10 tell you about it, or better still, ask Bob Bullard or Jap Gainey. It’s quite a story, but we had better take it back about the calf, he weighed 150 lbs. Red promised us some venison if we gave him a good write-up. Our boys at college continue to make us proud of them. Last week we received a copy of the dean's list from Duke University, and see Fred Frostick, Jr., among the number. The dean’s list means that he has a "B” average and is allowed unlimited cuts of classes and study privileges. There are 50 seniors and 64 juniors on the list.

He is the publicity agent of the ball team. -o Fuel Registration Is Postponed Because of the difficulty in get ting the forms printed, it has been necessary to postpone fuel oil dealer registration, set for Oc tober 27 and 28th, therefore the registration of consumers was au tomatically postponed.

His statement follows: "Believing I saw three serious dangers in the proposed Constitu tional Amendment for a new State Board of Education, I sent into nearly 130,000 North Carolina farm homes last week an editorial ap peal to vote 'NO' on this amend ment. “Now Governor J. M. Broughton and the State administration have promised that in case this amend ment is adopted next week, they will submit ana support a turmei Constitutional Amendment fully correcting and removing the threei dangers which I feared. Under these circumstances, I earnestly urge all men and women to vote an emphatic and positive 'YES' on this Constitutional Amendment next Tuesday and also for the one relating to Solicitorial Districts.” Much more than 100,000 pounds of iron has been collected in Max ton during the town’s all-out drive to get every ounce of this vital war material possible before October 21st.
