Georec W. Kane Resigns. In
corporation Planned. Goal |
Set For $200,000.
Naming of a new chairman for j
the executive committee of the Per- ;
son County Memorial hospital and
formation of plans for Incorpora- j
tion of this $200,000 project, formed
chief business at a meeting of the '
committee Tuesday night at the j
Hoxboro Chamber of Commerce of- 1
fice, where the retiring chairman, I
George W. Kane, presided.
Mr. Kane, who has headed the j
committee since its inception sev- j
cral months ago, resigned Tuesday i
night because of the increased pres
sure of personal and public busi-!
ness, He is a member of the State j
Highway commission, which de
mands much of his time. He also
asserted that he thought it best
tliat lie resign because the hospital
program will require services of a
contractor, in which business he is
engaged and that his resignation
will thus give the committee a free
hand in that respect.

is former Lt, Gov. R. L. Harris, who
will also take over Mr. Kane's du
ties as director of the drive. Mr.
Harris was absent from the meet
ing, but has announced he will ac
cept the appointment. He, like Mr.
Kane, has been actively connected
with the hospital project.
The committee has selected a
name for the organization the Fcr
son County Memorial hospital, leav
ing out previous references to

tion, for purpose of giving and iden
ity to the proposed institution and
its work will be done at once and

type. The $200,000 to be required
to btUld and equip the hospital
will be 'raised by personal contribu
tions from citizens and it is expec
ted that the solicitations will begin
shortly after incorporation papers
are secured from Raleigh.

Truman Sacks
MacArlhur Plan
To Slash Army
Draft Not To Be Continued
Longer Than Necessary.
Washington. September.—Presi
dent Truman on Tuesday backed up
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s plan to
slash the occupation army in Japan.
Mr. Truman thereby pulled the rug
from under the state department.
Despite the diplomats’ consterna
tion at MacArthur’s assertion that
200,000 "regular’’ army men can po
lice Japan, Mr. Truman said he was
glad to hear it.
And he went further. He said at
a news- conference that if Japan
can be occupied with fewer troops,
so, too, probably, can Germany.
All this dovetailed with congres
sional thinking—thinking that mav
get many meh back home and out
of uniform sooner than they expect.
The house unanimously passed a
bill designed to make American men
"want" to be in the army or navy.
The idea is to build up and keep a
regular army so that the "citizen"
army can disband, and quick.
President Truman told his news
conference that the draft will not
be continued any longer than abso
lutely, necessary.
He said MscArthur previously
had figured he would need 500,000
troops to nail down Japan, and the
200,000 estimate was all news to
him.

Education In

Is Planned
Chicago.—Citing the importance
of Christian principles in Hie es
tablishing pf permanent world, peace
ah’d the need for teaching those
principles, governmental, farm, bus
iness and political leaders are among
those giving their endorsement to
the 15tli annual observance of. Re
•ligious Education Week-, September
30 to October 7, The event is spon
sored by 90 per cent of Protestant
churches of the United States and
Canada through the" International
Council of Religious Education.
A. S. Goss, Washington. D. C.,
Master, The National Grange, in his
statement declares that "from a
very practical standpoint in meeting
the problem of reconversion from a.
war status to a peace status, we tiiay
well turn to religion as the medium
throiigh which we will again estab
lish the world on a peacetime basis
where men can work together for the
common good.”
I The principles of Christianity con
stitute a sound foundation on which
(to construct the necessary machin
j cry to maintain amicable relations
; among nations is the belief express-
J ed by Ernest J. King, Fleet Admiral,
jU. S. Navy, in endorsing tile ob
jservance. Christian education teach
ing these fundamentals is needed.
* lie believes.
"Much progress has been made
toward the improvement and ex
pansion of oUr entire educational
system. However, witli all our in
creased knowledge in world and na
tional affairs, and technical skills,
we were unable to prevent war. Con
tributing to this failure was the neg
lect of the fundamentals ’of all 1
worthwhile education religious
teachings which should begin in the
home and be supplemented in the
churches," Admiral King declared.
The doom of a nation without re
ligion is pointed out by Grace Noll
Crowell’, noted poet, when she stated
in endorsing Religious Education
Week:
"The cry of mankind today is
’Progress!’ Plans for.future are daz
zling in their concept, but if the
teligion of Jesus Christ is left out
of those plans, our nation will sure
ly go the way of ..all godless lands.”
