Penny Furniture Co., April 16-19-23-26.1 Roosevelt (Continued from page 1) Mr. Roosevelt, 63, was sitting in front of a fireplace in the little White House here atop Pine moun tain when the attack struck him. Bruenn described it as a massive cerebral hemorrhage. The President’s negro valet, Ar thur Prettyman, and a Filipino messboy carried him to his bedroom. He was unconscious at the end. It came without pain. Mr. Roosevelt, in the third month ■afriof Bis fourth term as President, came down three weeks ago to rest. Mrs. Roosevelt planned to fly to warm springs. She left the White House at 7:15 after informing their four uniformed sons by wire of their father’s death. The death removed from world councils one of the big three— Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill— who worked together to win the war and laid joint plans for keeping the peace. Truman likewise has stressed the need for international co-opera tion. Dr. Bruenn said he saw the Pres ident Thursday morning and he was in excellent spirits at 9:30 a. m. “At one o’clock,” Bruenn added, "he was sitting in a chair while sketches were being made of him by an artist.-He suddenly complained of a very severe occipital headache (back of the head). “Within a very few minutes he lost consciousness. He was seen by me at 1:30 p. m., fifteen minutes after the episode had started. “He did not regain consciousness and he died at 3:35 p. in.” William Jordon Was Seeking To Aid Companion j Captain Os Missinir Roxboro j Soldier Has Praise For Him. | Miss Louise Jordan, of this City, I sister of Pfc. William A. Jordan, 20, | who has been listed as missing in J action in Germany since January 13, has received a letter of eom j mendation and praise from Pfc. Jordan’s commanding officer, Capt. Del S. Perkins, who says that there is very little information tiiat he can give concerning the missing Person man, a son of Mr. and Mrs. ■ O. J. Jordan and brother of William i Jordan, now in the Navy in Hiwaii. j Capt. Perkins, who writes that I Pfc. Jordan was an excellent soldier, j "who faced our enemy with utmost! courage and was an inspiration to j all who came in contact with him" ! says that if "he has given his life for is country, I can truthfully say ] he did not die in vain”, adding. | “one has to be over here only, a j short time to realize that we are fighting to keep things at home as) they are now ' and> I have thanked ! God many times that my family i has not had to suffer the hardships i that arc so eohimonplaee here". : Capt. Perkins also says that Hi - last time Pfc, Jordan was seen bv “members of my company, be was f going to the aid of one of his friends who was wounded.". Capt. Perkin adds that it is possible that Pfe. Jor dan may be a prisoner of war and that notification may at. some time j be received from proper authorities. Pfc. Jordan, who went overseas, a' Christmas, entered the Army in] June 1943, shortly after graduating from Roxboro high school. — : —-o Schools ...

Although perhaps not as | well known as the “GI bill of rights,” this service is no less essen tial irf helping her to re-establiih herself in the postwar scheme of things. All women who leave civilian jobs i and enlist directly in the Women’s ] Army Corps are authorized by the I Service Extension Act of 1941 under j the provisions of the Selective Ser j vice Training and Service Act of ; 1940 to avail themselves of this as sistance through their local selective ; service boards. Qualifications for a veteran’s re : instatement in her former position •r an equivalent position are as fol lows: I She must have been employed by j t lie federal government or by a pri vste employer. Her position must have been other than temporary. /She must have left that position , subsequent to May 1, 1940, and di ! rci'lly entered the armed forces. She ; must have been honorably discharg ed from the service. She must be | qualified to perform the duties of the old job. The benefits to the returned Wac when she gets her old job back are fourfold, Sgt. Patterson pointed out. [she shall be considered as having hem on leave of absence from her former position. There will be no loss of seniority. Her job shall be he former one or one similar in all icspeets. She shall be entitled to participate -in all insurance and ether benefits of her employer in effect at time she entered service, site shall not be discharged for one year i. Without cause.

Eisenhower, president of Kansas State College, Manhattan, Kansas. “Farm production and income promise to be exceptionally high this year,” President Elsenhower points out. “Even after providing for additional debt retirement, farm ers will have ample funds with which to buy bonds. Such invest- 1 ment now will help stabilize prices, will build the reserves needed by farmers for construction and repair when the war is over, and will pro*- vide the best possible general insur ance against economic difficulty in postwar years. “No economic group in America suffers more from wide economic fluctuations than do farmers. No group will benefit more from eco nomic stability. The diversion of surplus wealth now into War Bonds will not only help each individual purchaser, but will help the entire farming industry by promoting sta bility. The greatest danger of in flation is still ahead. Hence, a rising volume of investment in War Bonds 1 is sound business for the farmer and for all other groups.” No New Candidates Thursday, April 19, at 8 o’clock at night at Person Court house, will be place and time for nomin ations for Mayor and City Com missioners of Roxboro, prior to election scheduled for next month. It is expected that all present City officials will again be candi dates for nomination. No new names have so far been mention ed. War Prisoners Aid Greatly In This Stale Atlanta, Ga., April 15.—German prisoners of war accomplished 725,- 601 man days of work in North Car olina in the past six months that Wtuld have otherwise gone undone because of a shortage of civilian labor.

V- - V schedule for PW labor which shows that before the end of summer 1,900 will be further relieving the state’s manpower shortage in the emerg ency harvest of crops. The report covers the activities of prisoners of war working on private or public contracts or at Army posts. On private contract work they gath er crops, do general farm work, cut pulpwood, saw timber or engage in other activities in areas where there is an acute shortage of manpower. On public contract they labor for state, municipal or governmental agencies, other than the Army. At Army installations they work in shops, laundries, handle repairs or work on the grounds, accomplishing tasks that were formerly assigned labor details of American soldiers now sent to other duties, and which jobs would have to be accomplish ed by civilian employees—if any civ ilian labor could be found. The working prisoners receive 80 cents a day in canteen coupons. Private con tractors, such as farmers, pay to the United States treasury the amount they would have paid civilian labor for tasks which the prisoners do. Stressing the point that PW labor is never used to replace civilian workers the report sets out how the prisoners have relieved the labor shortage in North Carolina in three categories over the six-month per- iod as well as the money value of their work to the government. On Army installations in the state they worked 492,148 man days which saved the government $1,367,026.01 in wages; on private contract they worked 228,988 man days and show ed a “profit” to the government of $441,289.43—the difference between 80 cents a day and what was paid by the contractors to the govern ment at the daily civilian wage rate while on public contract they work ed 4,465 man days and showed a labor profit of $13,932.95. o A state-wide dairy cattle show for Negroes will be held on Sep tember 21 and a committee is now seeking a suitable place for the show.
