Charles Patterson, lo cal WAC recruiter. The test is open to young men of seventeen in anticipation of their call to active duty. Those who qualify high enough will be eligible for two to four terms of college education at the Army’s expense. As explained by Sgt. Patterson, the Specialized Training Reserve Program exists primarily lo pro vide training of value to the Army. Thus it includes basic military sub jects and physical education. But the curriculum also includes such usual college courses as Eng'ish, history, mathematics and physics. Recognized Southern colleges are cooperating in this Army-sponsored education. So, when the qualifying test rolls around on April 12, it will be open to young men born after Septem ber 30, 1927 and before .September 1, 1928. The qualifying test, by the way, does not commit a man to the Army's college training, but simply makes him eligible, Sgt. Patterson said. Answering questions . as to how the Army Specialized Training Re serves Program works, S’gt. Pat terson said that while in training a student is not subject to military law, but he must conform to the rules of his college. The govern ment pays the cost of tuition, room, board, text books and medical care. Students do not receive Army pay, but the government does provide regular Army uniforms. Students in the program are called to active duty at the end of the term in which they reach their 18th birth day. They are then assigned to a training center for regular basic training. Afted that, some may even be returned to college for further study. Young men who qualify after basic training for the advanced educational program will be returned to college for engineer ing, foreign aread, and language studies. And completed courses may later be offered for credit to ward a college degree. All in all, Sgt. Patterson added, the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program offers many advantages to the young man of seventeen, for his immediate future in the Army and his later career in civilian life. rHE COURIER-TIMES WACS Helping To Care For Wounded Men The little things mean a lot to a wounaed or sick soldier in an Army hospital. In order to give our men the attention that they de serve, overworked Army doctors and nurses need help. Wovk'.ng under the direct supervision of doctors and nurses, members of the Wo men's Army Corps, according to WAC recruiter, Sgt. Charles Patter son, are helping care for our fight ing men. “These Wacs serve with hospital companies in general Army hos pitals in this country,” said Sgt. Patterson. As medical technicians they do much to relieve th Army nurse for more professional care. They can take temperatures: make beds; give baths; keep records of the patients progress; and do many of the small but important details that will help speed the recovery of a sick or injured man.” The surgical technicians with a WAC hospital company prepare op erating rooms and surgical equip ment and do varied nonprofessional duties for post-operative and pre operative cases. “Members of the Women’s Army Corps who are assigned to hos pital companies have the satisfac tion of knowing that they are work ing for the most apoveciative men in the world wounde 1 cr sick G. I.’s," added Sgt. Patterson. “The way a soldier says, "Thanks." means a great deal to these women who are helping them when they really need help. “Opportunities for service with WAC hospital companies are now open to over 8,000 women. To qual ify, you do not have to be pro fessionally itrained* The Army will train you.” If you are between the ages of twenty and forty-nine, inclusive, with no dependent children under fourteen years of age, and have two years of high school education (or its equivalent,) contact Sgt. Patterson at the Post Office. Training School To Have Program Person County Training School for Negroes, will have an Open House for all parents on Saturday, April 14, at 10:00 A. M., when stu dents will show parents types of work that have been done this year. A short program will be rendered after which refreshments will be served. All parents are cordially Invited Complete information on the pro gram is available from high school principals, college deans, and the Army recruiter at the Post Office Building.

Jolly, Pauicr of Ca-Vel and Longhurst Methodist Churches Text: Scripture: 11 Timothy 3 It is becoming increasingly ap parent that modern men and wom en know very little about religion as a vital factor in their lives. It is no longer something that shapes our lives and destinies but has be come a form which we fit into our lives. At best, religion is an insti tutional influence in our lives which makes itself felt once a week. Even this emaciated sort of re ligion that we hold does not give us a great deal of concern. Few of us stop to consider what it is that we believe or why we believe certain things. These observations make it possible to make the gen eralization that modern man is sorely ignorant of religion. He is ignorant in three ways. First, man does not know what he believes. Try putting your own faith into words. Imagine expres sing your religious beliefs in terms that would be acceptable and under standable to a person who had never heard of our churches and of our way of life. Many persons take part in glibely saying the Apostle’s Creed or some affirma tion of Faith but never realize the things that they are saying. Our beliefs about God, about Jesus, The Following Public Spirited Individuals and Firms Here Sponsor This Page HAMBRICK, AUSTIN and THOMAS Come To Church Every Sunday Have Your Prescriptions Filled and Buy Your Drugs and Sundries From Us Every Day.

The pressure of an excess supply j of outstanding certificates in pro portion the continuing short supply of tires made this invalida tion necessary he said. The Person Board points out that the action applies to all types ; of tires, Including those for pas senger cars, trucks and farm im plements. The Board calls attention to a . recent statement that less than 65 per cent of the number of passen ger tires produced in March had been allocated for April by the War Production Board. Do not use stable manure on fields inhere sweet potatoes are to be planted. There is danger of in fecting the soil with diseases. about religion in general are more superstition limn fact, riiorc fancy than faith. In the secoiui place, we are ig norant ol tlie Bible. Few. persons today know tlie Scriptures even 11 a literary sense, This is evidenced by tlie haphazard and silly way in whicli isolated passages of scrip ture are quoted to prove a point, Many persons do not even know what is in the Bible, let alobe wno wrote its sections, why they v. ere Written and under what conditions they came to be.written. We Shall have difficulty escaping Bibliolot cy unless we have an intelligent grasp of the history., the growth, the pro duction of Biblical literature. Man’s Ignorance of religion is seen in the third instance in his ignorance of the Church. There is a lack of interest in missions, in the story of the church lands today that spells doom for an organization that must be world-wide or be un true to its very nature. Very few person® today know anything about the history of the Church of Jesus Christ. Indeed, few of Us know anything about our own denomina tion and how it came to be fcanled. This ignorance of religious mat ters has led to some very disastrous things in our time. It has caused us to emphasize money and num bers in our churches more than character and quality. Think how Jesus would have dealt with those In Macon County 4-H club mem bers and vocational students brought their hoes, rakes, and shov els and spent the day looking for borers and clearing the grass in a ten-acre apple orchard. ! Ii PRESCRIPTIONS Prescription filling is a personal business.. Personal for you and personal for us... Our druggists give your prescriptions their personal attention and accept it as their personal responsibility to see that your doctors instructions are followed to the letter. You can depend upon our services with confidence ANYTIME ALL THE TIME THOMAS & OAKLEY DRUGGISTS DAY PHONE 4931 _ NIGHT 4183—4834 wlio place a collection of primary importance in the Kingdom of God. Think how he would drive us from these pagan temples that bear his name when we prate and plea a 1m large congregations and large num bers to be added to the church foils. Again, 'tills ignorance lias led us to emphasize the institutional church rather than the indiv; hia;. This is grossly unchristian. Jesus always treated men as individuals. He was interested in the human element in religion. How far w have gone from that when we stress our building programs; vve refer to the Church as being a building rather than a community of human beings. In our materialistic World it is hard for us to realize that the. Kingdom of God is pot made wish brick but with the fibre of human personality. In view of our ignorance of re ligion it is useless for us o plead that the Sabbath be kept holy; that the churches be filled, that the church be supported. The need of these things indicates how very sick our religion has; become. It is necessary for us to begin again with the individuals. When indi vidual persons are interested in be coming informed about what their religion means, about the Scrip tures and what they mean, and about the Church and its history and program, our religion will live again.
