Roxboro Woman
Has Distinction As
Cloak-Dagger Girl
Miss Clara Raynor, Once Bank
Stenographer Here, Was
Sceret Agent In War.
Now back in Washington, D. C.,
is a Roxboro woman, Miss Clara
Raynor, who until last month was
connected with the Office of Strate
gic Services, a sort of super-spy or
ganization for the United States
and now disolved after doing three
years of behind the lines work in
enemy territory all over the world.
O. S, S., the story of which is now
being told for the first time was or
ganized at the request of the late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
who called upon Maj. Gen. William
J. Donovan to head it. Miss Raynor,
who was in Roxboro last month,
could not even then tell her friends
here what she had been doing in
Government service. She was not
supposed to even say she had been
a part of O. S. S, much less to men
tion she had been in Italy with it.
And Miss Raynor did not tell, al
though she had just returned from
ten months in Italy, where she may
have (had a hand in dropping food
and supplies behind enemy lines in
nearby Balkan countries, or in
Austria. What Miss Raynor did, re
mains her secret, still, but her form
er associates at Peoples Bank, in
Roxboro. where she worked for ten
years, have a handful of Washing
ton newspaper clippings tell a story
of courage and heroism for all .men
and women, both civilian and mili
tary,, who were associated with
O. S. S.
There is a full story of the organ
ization now running as a serial in
Collier's magazine and Miss Raynor’s
friends here are eagerly scanning
each line, although her name, as one
Os hundreds of workers in the fam
ous "Cloak arid Dagger”, as the
Q. S.S., is .. popularly known, mav
i.'vcf appear.
Miss Raynor sent those Washing
ton clippings to Roxboro after she
Went back to Washington. The As
sociated Press had the story thes
and there was no . reason why she
should not give a general picture of
the type of work she had been en
gaged in. The O. S. S., for instance,
is credited with having saved the
lives of five thousand American and
United Nations aviators by working
in close cooperation with under
ground organizations behind the
lines in enemy countries where these
aviators had landed after bombing
expeditions.
Miss Raynor, who plans to re
main in government work in Wash
ington, will have nothing so excit
ig to look forward to now, As a
matter of fact she got into O. S. S.,
rather by accident after going to
Washington three to four years ago
to take what was at that time a
routine stenographic war job. But
once she transferred to O. S. S„ or
wanted to, Roxboro friends knew
she was engaged in some rather im
portant mission. FBI agents
came to Roxboro and combed her
record. They went into every nook
and cranny, asking questions by the
bucketful. But Miss Raynor passed
the test and thus became, perhaps,
the only citizen to be con
nected with what came to be one
of the most famous but least known
secret agent organizations of the
United States government in World
War 11.
There is no way of telling how
many lives Miss Raynor saved, and
many a hometown boy from Rox
boro. once a prisoner of war in the
Axis nations may have owed his life
to what she and countless others of
the O. S. S., accomplished.

Carlton Cites
New Service
At Post Office
Considerable Saf» inu' Os Time
And Cash Through New
Postal Notes.
L. M. Carlton. Roxboro postmast
er, this morning issued a statement
calling attention to a new and con
venient service to the public in the
issuance of postal notes, a cheaper
form or arrangement for sending
smali sums usually dispatched by
money orders.
Says Mr. Carlton:.
“A matter which should be of
special interest to the public, especi
ally to those who make small re
mittances by money orders, is the
fact that the Post Office Depart
ment beginning October 1. 1945 has
placed on sale at the post office
postal notes where the remittance
to be made is up to $lO and the
cost of same is only five cents (sc)
up to $lO, whereas a money order
would range in price from 6c to lie.
"Another advantage is that the
applicant is not required to fill out
an application as in the case of
money orders. It is therefore' easier,
quicker and cheaper where the
amount to be remitted is up to $lO.
You can still buy money orders for
any amount, but the above plan
should commend itself to those de
siring to make, only small remit
tances. Full information may be ob
tained at the Post Office by those
interested.

is not ■concerned with other peo
ples' averages.
His own. he thinks. Considering
that some of the weed was of poor
quality, were good enough, and
lie is going to have that pony if
he can find one and will add it to
a livestock collection which already
| includes, a goat:
But there is a serious side so tne
