SHEEP PASTURE; DOGS SCARCE
P. C. Hall, of Roxboro, was once
the possessor of nineteen sheep, ra
ther a large number for these parts.
The animals roamed his pasture on
his farm, the old Dr. B. E. Love
farm, about a mile from here on the
Hurdle Mills road. That was about
a week or ten days ago.
Today Mr. Hall has just six sheep
left, after two nights of slaughter
ing by what he thinks was a pack
of wild dogs, four or five of which
appeared to be German police dogs,
according to his brother, A. I. Hall,
who said this morning that the dogs
began killing the sheep about ten

Low Bid Os Last Month Re
garded As Too High
Says Baise.
Chief Engineer W. Vance Baise,
of the State Highway Commission,
announced Friday of last week that
the low bid of some $300,000 for the
proposed loop road in Roxboro has
been rejected because it was too
high. The Commission will readver
tise the project, according to Baise.
Bids for work in three other counties
were also rejected for the same rea
son.
Roxboro City Manager Guy Whit
man in a conference last week said
he did not know how much longer
the loop road will be delayed be
cause of rejection of the bid. Own
ers and tenants of certain houses
in the loop road route, which runs
back of Lamar street, wece notified
last month that they would have to
move because the houses are in the
, way, but one of the owner-tenants
! said this morning that no definite
i moving time has ever been specified,
j Tlie loop road project has been
| under consideration for several years
I and is intended as a relief to heavy
j through traffic coming to Roxboro.
It was expected that the bid made
j wuold be rejected as the price was
j regarded as unusually high for such
I a short strip of road.
It is thought that the project may
be delayed at least a month or two
as the new bids must be studied by
tht Commission after they are re
ceived.
i USO Birthday
This Week
i
The USO, celebrates its fifth an
i niversary of service to the armed

months after V-J Day, when so
many millions of men have been de
mobilized.
Serving approximately 2,100,000
men now on duty overseas, a total of

i tary personnel are located abroad,
i Additional units, to comply with the
i War Department's directive to pro

ROXBORO. NORTH CAROLINA
FEBRUARY HAS BEEN DESIGNATED
AS PERSON HOSPITAL MONTH
The month of February, 1946, is slated to go down in Person Coun
ty history as “Hospital Month”, This month has been designated by
the Memorial Hospital Committee as the month in which the Gen
eral Drive is to be made. As a matter of fact the drive is now on
and will continue throughout the entire month.
$250,000 was the amount to be raised to erect the hospital. It will
be in memory of those who served in either World War I or 11. A
fair part of this amount has been raised through initial gifts from
large contributors but much more remains to be raised this month.
Chairman R. L. Harris is anxious that all people who have not"
been contacted to be thinking seriously about the amount that they
should give and be ready when the committee calls upon them. It
is very necessary that every person give all that they can in order
that the full amount be subscribed.
The new hospital will be modern in every respect and will be
equipped with the latest devices in the medical profession that should
be needed.
In this issue of the Courier-Times will be found a large number
of advertisements relating to the drive. Your careful attention is in
vited to cajh ad.

Eighteen From
Person Receive
Veterans Aid
Read.jusment Allowances
Come Under C. I. Bill.
Veterans in Person received $321.0P
in readjustment allowance payments
during 1945, according to a repoit
just issued by the Unemployment
, Compensation Commission. This
! amount was paid to job-hunting
| Person veterans covering 18 weeks
| they were without employment last
! year.
j Throughout the state, the total of
j 1945 readjustment allowances paid
i was $1,707,688.00 covering 95,732 job-
I less weeks for North Carolina veter-
I ans.
j The program of readjustment al
j lowances was set up by the G. I.
J Bill to help veterans set. establish-
Jed or become reestablished in em
[Ployment. In North Carolixra, the Un
j employment Compensation Com
mission handles these payments for
the Veterans' Administration. Vet
erans make application to the un
employment compensation claims j
agents located in the U. S. Employ
ment Service offices.
While a veteran is looking for a
job, or if he is going to get his old
job back but has to wait a few weeks
to get on the payroll and can’t find
temporary employment meanwhile,
or if he finds a job and loses it, he
is entitled to an allowance of S2O a
week.
He can apply for this any time
within two years after his discharge
or two years after the end of the
| war, whichever is the later date (but
' not more than five years after the
war has been declared over).
The number of weeks for which a j
veteran may claim an allowance de
pends on the length of his active |
service .If he saw service for more |
than nine and a half months he t
would be eligible for allowances for
the maximum number of 52 weeks.
The important differences be
tween readjustment allowances and
unemployment insurance are 1 1 1
that it doesn't matter in the least
whether the veterans ever worked
before Or not, his eligibility is based
on his military servee; and (2) al
lowances are paid at the uniform
rate of S2O a week, whereas the
amount of an unemployment bene
fit, depending on a worker’s past
earnings, will be something between
$4.00 and $20.00. -

so he balled the police. Os course the chief came. None other than our

He wondered what kind of a key would fit the lock and so he pulled

E. R. Collins To
Discuss Methods
For Corn Growth
! Meeting Planned For Thurs

Thursday afternoon, February 7th,'
at two o'clock to discuss corn pro- ;
duetion, it was announced today by

The average, yield of corn in Per
son county is near twenty-two bush- 1
'els per acre, according to Sanders.:
I who says, however, that many farm- i
ers here make as much as fifty to !
| sixty bushels per acre or more. A
few demonstrations made from sev
enty-fivc to one hundred and one
bushels last year.
Dr. Collins will show charts and j
needs, how to make more corn on
less acres through fertilization, top- j

Recommendations j
Given Congress I
i j
Specific recommendations for the j
expansion and improvement of the j
j old-age and survivors program have !
been made to Congress in the Tenth :
Annual Report of the Social Securi- |
: ty Board, Nina H.. Matthews, man
| ager of the Durham office of the
Board, said yesterday.
Heading the list is a recoinmenda
| tion, made repeatedly by the Board,
that coverage if the program be ex
panded to include "all gainful work- i
ers, such as agricultural and do- j
mestic employees, public employees
and employes of nonprofit organiza- !
tions, and self-employed persons, in
cluding farmers." |
Mrs. Matthews said that the social
and economic welfare of the area
served by the Durham office will be
strengthened whenever action is
! taken to extend the benefits of the j
system to workers who are not cov- j
cred now.
"Aside from the fact that the j
Social Security Board -has had ap- !
peals from many persons and from j
groups, now in noncovered employ
ment. for inclusion in the system,
we have seen how periods in non-
I covered employment can effect qual
ifications for benefits. And, I am
glad to say, the Board has recom- j
I mended —for the fifth consecutive |
year—that credit be given to service- j
men for their period of service in
the armed forces."
It is pointed out in the Annual
Report ol the Social Security Board I
that in an average week of 1944 only j
about three-fifths of all gainfully
employed civilians were in jobs cov
ered by old-age and survivors insur
ance. More than 21,000,000 civilians
and between 11.000,000 and 12,000,000
servicemen were, excluded.
One recommendation of import
ance to persons already covered by
the Social Security Act is for an
increase in benefit amounts partic
ularly for low-paid workers. An
other proposed change is an Increase
from $3,000 to $3,600.
MAIN REASON—Of Course there
is more than one reason the Courier-
Times should be in every home—
but the big reason, is its whole
some influence on young and old,
alike.

Bolin Fund. However, Lam
i Despite Large Theatre Aoji
Dance Contributions.
Increased success is reported in
flic Victory clothing collection here,
according to Chairman Fred Long,
but considerable slowness is still ob
served in tlie Polio fund drive on
the basis of figures reported at the
■ Roxboro Chambers of Commerce by
Miss Dorothy Taylor, treasurer for
I the last named fund, it was revealed
today.
At least lour thousand five hun
dred garments have been packed
] for the clothing collection and as
. yet the number packed does not in
clude garments sent in from Coun
ty depots, the operators of which
are urged to have their collections
; ready to send in at once.
Chamber of Commerce figures on
the Polio fund, of which the Rev.
Daniel Lane is chairman, show
I $580.05, but to that amount can be
added $673.23 reported by O. Teague
i Kirby from the theatre collection
and it is thought that between $l5O
, and SIOO will be realized from the
Polio benefit danci* staged here
Thursday night by Roxboro Ex* ■
; change club bringing the passible
! total to date to over $1,400.
Definite figures on the Exchange
j club sum have not yet been arrived
! at. according to Bilf Faucette, club ’ ''3l
secretary, but the dance, which had
I a large attendance, was regarded
j as one of the best to have been held
, here. Music was by the Russ Carl
. tail orchestra and place for the as
! fair was the Recreation Center.
; Quota for the Polio fund here is
I $2,080 and it is hoped that school
■ reports which have not come in will
bring the total closer to the goal.
