It was awfully good of you to send candy to me. I will make it up some day. 1 also, received a letter from Woodrow Ammpns. He .seems to be doing okay in the good old U. , S. Army. I certainty would love to be back tjiere to help with the berries and so forth. I would rather do that than anything else. The army is pretty good to the farmers over here. Lots of soldiers; including Canadians, are helping in the fields over here. ... Mother, you said you, hoped I would be safe. I can't write any thing and even if I could I still couldn't explain it to you as well as I could tell you how everything is. You have absolutely no need to worry about me. I am not in ait J uaugvi 1' " J Anyhow, I.' am not afraid of the Germans. I was awfully sorry to hear about the school house being burned down. The state will probably build a new one pretty " soon though. . . . A guy named Pring from Mon treal, Canada, is going back home soon. He is in the same company with me. 1 never liked him especial ly but he seemed to be a pretty good guy. When we first came over here he and I were on 'guard together and the Germans tossed a few bombs down. I suppose every one was a bit uneasy but Pri,ng nearly went crazy. I was awfully sorry for him. Instead of getting better he seemed to get worse each time the bombs' came close, so at last they are sending him home. He has been in a hospital for. quite awhile. It js sort of fun ny. He certainly couldn't be .con sidered a coward. He has always been ready to fight in am instant. He is the only guy to be sent back ...... Hnntrar in ri nfnMhlu wntl t H f for that certain reason. I will write again soon. Thanks again for the candy. ,Kiss little Betty and the rest of the kids for me. Best of luck to all.

They were among ths 56 refugee children from Ger many and Nazi-occupied countries, Red Cross, OCD Look to Volunteers For Civil Defense Washington, D. C. To the Ques tion, "What can I do for America?" the Red Cross is providing an an swer tor hundreds of thousands of men and women who want to do their part on the civilian defense front. For women, the Red Cross is pro viding an 80-hour training course to recruit a corps of 100,000 Nurse's Aides. It is the Red Cross' newest project, undertaken at the request of the U. S. Office of Civilian De fense to relieve the current pres sure on nursing factles. With thousands of Vurses being taken Into military service with our armed forces, civilian nursing has; suffered a direct blow, the Red Cross points out Red Cross Nurse's Aides will serve, as assistants to registered nurses, performing scores of im portant duties which will enable nurses to care for more cases. The Red Cross stresses that Nurse's Aides will not-take the place of the registered nurse, but will serve In an auxiliary capacity. On the more dramatic side of civilian defense, the Red Cross is gearing its far-flung disaster, fight ing machine to handle mass feed ing, housing and clothing of exacu ees under wartime conditions. In cooperation with the Office of Civil ian Defense, chapters are strength ening disaster relief committees to cope with man-made disaster much on the same scale as relief opera tions following natural catastrophe. . Organization along these lines in cludes preparedness measures for fires, explosions and epidemic which may be expected to result from accelerated Industrial activity incident to national defense. Strictly as a precautionary meas ure, the Red Cross is devising means of confronting emergency relief in the event of sporadic air or sea attacks, considered conceiv able hazards in some coastal and boundary areas. ' The need for First Aid in civilian defense has not been neglected by the Red, Cross. Last year nearly 600,000 were trained in emergency treatment of the injured. This year the figure is expected to go much higher with special emphasis being placed on the formation of detach ments which would serve as units in factories, offices, schools and other places where persons are Red Cross courses in Home Nurs ing and In Nutrition also are being expanded as a feature of the civil Ian defense program. It was point ed out Mounting health hazards and the shortage of civilian nurses may at any time obligate the house wife or even the man of the house to assist in caring for the sick. Likewise, the Red Cross is placing greater emphasis on Nutrition courses designed to teach house holders the art of purchasing and preparing well-balanced meals within the range of the family Docketbook.

EVANS This has been one of the hottest Octobers, the Weather Bureau says, for 25 years. Now the local weather prophets are busy. Some are claiming that its going to be a very cold winter, because they point out that it always comes true, when there is not enough ice to hold up a duck in October. Others say, that it is very prob able that it's going to continue warm up to Thanksgiving, and then turn winter. They do not have any reason for their forecast. Only "just because", "you wait and see." George Bell of the Morrison section was shopping arsd visiting in Union Wednesday. Charley Nickolds who has been on the sick list for the past month, is able to be out again. We have been missing him at our town council fire, and hope he will be able .to attend all the meetings this winter. Mrs. Robert Stamey of . North Skeenah, 76 years old, who has been .sick several months, . died Friday. She was buried at the Pleasant Hill Baptist church cemer tery, Saturday at 3 p. m. Messers. Bethel Davis and Alex Cheeks - of this- village were .in Franklin Wednesday on business. Mrs. J.', A. Addington and Mrs. Fritz Henderson' spent the everting with Mrs. S. P. Penland who has been confined to her room for several months. Trust that ,she will soon be out again. Roscoe Pendergrass ' and Alex Bateman of Hickory Kjioll section, passed through our village Tues day en route to Franklin to attend the Farmers' Defense meeting at the Agricultural building. Some one said at our village meeting the other evening that Hitler was going to have a time starving us out this winter, even if he had caused the prices of flour and meat to go over the top. Corn pon and 'taters are plenti ful in this town, a,nd he could eat them for breakfast if he had to. He liked roasted potatoes anyhow. The dry spell was broken Mon day by the very hard showers that deluged the ground. It appears that the farmers will not fee com plaining of the hard ground any more this season. Garfield Duncan of Claytor.v Ga., visited his aunt, Mrs.. S. P. Pen land Sunday. Lawwn Penland and family of the Burton Lake Section of Rabun county, Ga., accompained by Mrs. Carter of Clayton visited friends and relations in Union Sunday. Ernest Stamey of Charlotte at tended his mother's funeral Friday and visited old friends in and around town.

Release Regulations For Inducted Men Certain inducted men will be re leased or discharged from active military service prior to the com pletion of their regular period of service, ' General J.. Van B. . Metts, state director of selective- service, announced today as a memorandum was received from National Head quarters of Selective Service out lining the policy. Men will not be released from service indiscriminately, the Direc tor pointted out, but in order to obtain a separation fr,om service the inducted man must show him self entitled to a release for one of the following . seven reasons: , 1. Physical or mental disability, desertion, inaptness, undesirable traits of character, conviction by a civil court, dishonorable discharge pursuant to sentence of a court martial or military commission, and for other recognized military cause. Inducted men separated from serv ice for one of these reasons will be reclassified by the local board in either Class I-B of Clas IV-F, and such men will be subject -to reclassification and reinduction if the reasons for their release are later removed. 2. Age. An inducted man' may be separated from active military serv ice if he reached the age of 28 years before July 1, 1941, and prior to his induction into service. Such men will be transferred to the reserves and will .not be sub ject to reinduction by Selective Service under preser.4 regulations. 3. Erroneous induction. An er roneous induction is one in which the- man-was denied some legal or procedural right. Men separated from service, on this account will assume a . status as though they had never been inducted, and the local board will have to proceed MICKIE SAYS WHOME NEWSPAPER comes wo us owai .

Incorrect classification. Request for discharge for this reason must be made by the inducted man through his commanding officer. Men separated for this reason may be transferred to the reserves and, if so, will be retained in Class IC. If such men are actually discharg ed , instead of transferred to the reserves, the local board will re classify them in their proper class ification, 5.

Such sep- J aration shall be made upon the recommendation of the Under Sec-1 retary of War. Men separated for j such reason will be transferred to the reserves arid will not be re classified by the local board. 7. Dependency or home conditions occurring after induction. To justi fy a separation for this reason, home conditions must have chang ed since induction to uch an ex tent that, had they existed prior to induction, a III-A classification would have been proper. Applica- j tion for such separation . must be filed by the inducted man with his commanding officer, The prin-j cipal investigation in such cases will be made by the American Red Cross in cooperation with the Se-1 lective Service System. Men releas-1 ed from service for this reason will be transferred to the reserves and will not be reclassified by the local board.
