India.—Jawaharlal Nehru, a leader of the Indian Na tional Congress party said today he expected the British to take quick iiction after the forthcoming elec tions to turn the Indian Govern ment over to Indians, or “other people" will take the initiative. Nebru told newspapermen he ex pected the administration of India to form a central government after the elections next Spring, “repre senting the democratic forces within the country.” Then, he said, should follow the setting up of a constitu ent assembly. Nehru asserted that the activities of the Indian National Army, or ganized in Burma to fight against the British, and the present trial of officers had had the effect of bring ing the Army closer to the people. Heretofore most Indians had con sidered the Army as something apart from themselves and almost foreign, he said. Exploits of the Indian National Army, disclosed by the lifting of censorship and the trial of INA officers, Nehru said, had caused many of the country’s youth to question the Gandhian philosopsy of nonviolence. Many were now thinking of using force as a means of gaining independence. This, he contnued, was the subject of con siderable thought and discussion by Congress leaders. o Ladies Nights Kiwanians will have their La dies night tonight and the Ro tarians Thursday, with both events at Hotel Roxboro. Speaker last week at Rotary was the Rev. Daniel Lane, new chairman of the polio fund drive, who presented and urgent appeal for the fund, the drive for which will be held next month.

NOELL, EDITOR Mobile Unit To Be In City On This Thursday Major Provisions Os New Reg ulations Will Be Discussed By Sergeants. The mobile unit of The United States Army Recruiting Service will be in Roxboro again on Tuesday, December 13th. The mobile unit is operated by Sgt, James Alien and Sgt. Gilbert Bailey who will be hap py to discuss any phase of the regu- S lar army with any interested person, j While most veterans know some- i thing about the opportunities offer- : ed by the regular army, we repeat briefly a few of the major provisions of the new recruiting act for the j benefit ftf anyone who may not be ) familiar with them: Retention of grade and a reenlistment furlough ; of up to ninety days provided re enlisthient is effected within twenty days after discharge. A reenlistment bonus of $50.00 for each year of last enlistment provided reenlistment is effected within ninety days after discharge, choice of branch of ser vice and overseas theatre on a three year hitch. The GI Bill of Rights I and family allowances still in effect, ) twenty year retirement, thirty days ! furlough each year. These and many other favorable inducements make the Regular Army a very attractive proposition. Young men about to be drafted are urged to come in and talk over the i ijvar’ages offered by voluntar ily enlisting rather than going into service through the draft board. The army offers an extensive du cational program for which both high school and college credits are given. Enlistment may be made for as short a period as 18 months. A man is eligible for enlistment in the I regular army at any time before he is actually ordered to report for in duction by his draft board. Dan A.

F ’Bull" Halsey has fired a salvo of : his typical shots at proposed unifica tion of the army and navy. •' * Tlie army is the chief ex- I ponent of hasty and unstudied adoption of this plan. Even if the army project has merit—which I fail to see—their method of trying to put it over is unAmerican, un democratic, and dangerous," the ad miral declared. There is no question about need for "unified command” in actual j combat, Halsey declared, but that j does not require that the war and ; navy departments, which he said were complex and widely differing, be mixed together. "Believe me, that’s the first time I ever agreed with a Jap," Halsey ! said at one point in regard to a statement by Japanese General Yamashita that perfect co-ordina -1 tion of American air, naval and | ground forces crushed the Japs. It is "pure bunk," the admiral con tinued, to claim greater efficiency from the merger. Instead he refer- I red to it variously as a “muddle," “mirage" and “miracle.” Japan and Germany allowed the army to dominate the navy, he said, and "look where they are now.” Previous testimony by army air forces witnesses that battleships and aircraft carriers are out of date also came in for comment. The admiral said his fighting ships won bases so | the army air forces could come along , later and operate. : The admiral said he feared the merger advocates wanted to give the army a "two-to-one” vote over con j trol of the navy. o Perkins Expected To Join Brother Pfc. Jule D. Perkins, Jr:, who last week received his discharge ) from the Army after having been j overseas for more than two years, is expected to join his brother, J. W.

In the Normandy invasion he was i with the late Louis Shanko, of Rox : boro and Yale, Va., who lost his life at that time. ROXBORO. NORTH CAROLINA Evans Check Seen As Hospital Boost E.

As anticipated, 66 percent of the applicants selected "Flying” in an swer to the question "What part of the V-5 Program appeals to you most strongly?” However, the signi-, ficant factor is that 4 out of 5 de signated “a chance to get college education", in answering "what is ! the next strongest appeal?" Among parents, 75 percent were most impressed by the chance for their sons to receive college educa - j tion. Under Navy's V-5 officer pilot) training program, young men 17, 18 or 19 are eligible for selection for j the March 1, 1946 class if they will have graduated from high school by ■ February 26, 1946.

Not only are all expenses and maintenance paid 1 for by the Navy, but the student re -1 ceives a salary of SSO a month as 1 well. This is in line with the Navy’s i 1 policy of developing officers with a • well-rounded education. .

On this particular morn ing that I am talking about he got up about five o’clock and as he started out of the front yard he saw a bird sleeping in a tree. Now that made Tobey mad and he went up to the tree and shcolc it. Here's what he said as the bird flew away—"No bird is going to sleep later in the morning than Tobey Ledbetter.’’ P. S. If this is a lie someone else told it.

Chief of Police George C. Robin son, of Roxboro, cooperating in the U. S. Secret Service crime preven- 1 tion program today warned mer-I chants and customers to be on guard ; against check thieves and forgers, i During the pre-holiday season the Chief said these criminals take ad vantage of crowded streets and ov er-worked clerks to "reap a harvest” by stealing and forging large numb ers of checks. A number of local ar rests on such charges have been made says Robinson. Here are some safeguards suggest ed by Chief Robinson: Persons who expect chocks by mail should make arrangements for some one to be at home to receive them 1 when they arrive and see that they are kept in a safe place until cash ed. Merchants should instruct their employes to use greater care in accepting commercial and govern ment checks, especially from strang- , ers. They should be cautioned to require positive identification and make a note on the check the type j of identification presented. The check should always be endorsed in! the presence of the person cashing it and the endorsement should be carefully compared with tile signa tures on identification offered. The employe cashing the check should initial it in order to fix the respon sibilty and to later help him re member tlie transaction should tile check turn out to be a forgery. Ev ery person cashing a chjck should always ask himself the question, "If this check is returned as a forgery, will I be able to locate the forger and recover my money?" "Neither customers nor merchants can afford to suffer the loss of a forged check when simple precau tions could have prevented it. Treat your check as though it were cash. [ If you receive a check, protect it from thieves. If you are a merchant, 1 be sure you know endorsers.” says tlie Chief. o Ending Os One Teacher Schools To Be Sought Raleigh.—The state board of edu cation, spurred to action by report of Controller Paul Reid that North Carolina, despite boasted education al advances, still has 829 one-teacher !schools, has adopted a* resolution urging county and municipal school units to survey possibilities for furth er consolidation of small schools. Controller Reid reported that throughout the state there are 2,586 schools with either one, two. three or four teachers, and following the board’s meeting Reid told newsmen that from 50 to 75 per cent of these schools could be consolidated. Commenting further, Reid declar ed that -such consolidations would not only cause a reduction in school operating, costs but would also bring about better educational advantages {for young North Carolinians. This would be particularly true with ref erence to high schools with four or i less teachers, Reid added. The resolution adopted by tlie ! board today also stuted that it is ' expected that available funds will | make it necessary to revert to the prewar standard as minimum in al lotment of teachers for small schools ; to be paid from state funds. This ' situation would be effective with the 1946-47 school year, and is a condi tion resulting from population shifts. Reid explained that during the I war emergency teachers were re- I tained in schools where attendance ' dropped below the normal daily fig ure. and this was done in order to , have sufficient teachers available if ! a population shift caused attend | ance to rise to the pupil load re j allotment. Schools which do not re turn to normal attendance will, by returning to prewar standards, lose teachers where the pupil load has declined below requirements. o Huff Post Meets Lewell T.

Pinehurst. —All nations should ) modify their national sovereignty] by agreeing not to process any i atomic bomb in peacetime. Dr ; Joseph W. Straley of the Depart ment of Physics of the University of North Carolina asserted in an ad dress here tonight before the Pine- I hurst Forum. Such an agreement would not i necesarily be sufficient to prevent j war, but “it would implement the United Nations Organization upon whose shoulders this great responsi bility rests,” he said. Sacrifices which the various na tions must make to preserve peace can never be equalled. Dr. Straley J said, but they should include “de struction of all existing facilities for processing bombs, destruction of all bombs, and sharing of all knowledge of atomic energy and other scienti fic developments. / "Let us not be lulled into a false sense of security by stories to the effect that the details of the con struction of the atomic bomb will be kept secret. Any nation with scientific personnel and two billion dollars can acquire the secret. "There is no doubt but that some sort of defense against this weapon will be developed. However at best it can give but partial protection. Partial protection seems a mockery! where atomic bombs are concerned.l "We can ill afford to take comfort. in the hope that future wars will be avoided out of dread of this weap-) on". Dr. Straley warned. "An enemy) leader with the mentality of Adolf i Hitler would assume that bigger and, better Munichs are to be purchased with bigger and better bombs." Dr. Straley said the atomic bomb as a psychological force to "modify our concert of sovereignty has ar rived on the world scene at precisely the right moment. The question is have we the faith in our allies and, above all; in ourselves, to change traditional views on natioftal sover eignty?’ I know full well that we walk with danger along any path we take but it is my conviction that we have much to gain if we make this rather convincing show of good will.
