service will be allowed to continue,
at least for a few months.
Likewise, they said it probably
will be necessary to continue in

Most of the committeemen said
they would like to see the draft
abolished or modified, but ex

of veteran fighting men.
2. To insure an adequate numbtr

Reports coming this way indicate that Henry O’Briant, Roxboro's
popular fire chief, got lost going to the fire last night. The fire
was at Longhurst and he wound up in Cavel. On the other hand the
fire was put out so Henry might have wandered around a bit with
no damage. Then too since gas is no longer rationed he might have
just wanted to ride a bit.

second message for V-J Day pro
claimed the end of mankind's blood
iest war and the beginning of all
era of world peace and prosperity
‘assured of fruitition by the same
[ free skill and energy which produced
the atomic bomb."
Speaking on what lie had officially
designated as V-J Day, although he
characterized it as no formal holi
day, the President, with the Armed
Forces particularly in mind, said:
"With the destructive force of war
removed from the world we can turn
now to the grave task of preserving
the peace which you gallant men
and women have won. It is a task
which requires our most urgent at
tention. It is one in which we must
collaborate with our Allies and the
other nations of the world
“They are as determined as we
'are that war must be abolished
from the earth, it the earth, as we
know it. is to remain. Civilization
cannot survive another- total war.
It was Mr. Truman's second radio
j talk within 24 hours. Saturday night
when word of the formal capitula
i tion of the surrender of the Japa
nese had been transmitted to the

V-J Day.

On Probation
Asheboro. — Five Randlman boys,
all in their late teens or early
twenties, today were bound over
to December criminal Superior
court as probable cause was found
by Magistrate E. H. Morris oil char
ges of assault with deadly weapon
in connection with a brawl at thy
Randleman Beer Garden on the
! night of August 20. when two Ashe
boro boys were seriously injured.
Bonds of SI,OOO eacli remain in ef
fect.
The young men who pleaded not
guilty to the charges—Claude and
Bill Fultz, brothers; Charles and
Everett Daniels, brothers, and John
nie Barnhart—are alleged to have
attacked Herbert and James Rich
i ardson, inflicting a knife stab
i wound in Herbert's back and caus
ing the loss of sight in James’ left
! eye from a bottle glass cut. Bill
j Fultz is a soldier, just returned from
i two years overseas. •
Defense today tended to show
that the fight, supposedly started
by the Randleman boys as a result
jof the current schoolboy feud be
tween Asheboro and Randleman,
was a mutual one. Evidence failed
to show just who was responsible
; for the wounds the Richardson
brothers received.
Yesterday, fifty Asheboro and
Randleman school boys, for the
most part younger than those in
volved in the assault charge, were
given 30-day road sentences, sus
pended for 12 months, for affray
charges growing out of a street
fight in Randleman August 15. The
assault case was a follow-up of this
