Friday, October 11, 1935. THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Flv« “Billy” Milam National Tank Corps Adjutant Appointed to Important Post by National Commander John Stevenson The Week in Aberdeen Depvity United States Marshal John H. Stephenson of Southern Pines, who is national commander of the Tank Corps, this week an. nounced the appointment of William Milam of Southern Pines as national adjutant of the corps. He regards Mr. Milam, his fellow.townsman, as ex. ceptionally well qualified for the ex. alted post for which he has been chosen. Approximately 45,000 men are eli. gible for membership in the Tank Corps, National Commander Stephen, son stated. The number of eligibles would have been much greater had it not been for the heavy casualties sustained among American soldiers in the tank service in the World War. In this connection it was recalled that of the total of 478 members of the 301st battalion, heavy tanks, fa. 'mous unit in which Mr. Stephenson served in France in the momentous days of 1918, only 35 are living. The loss of life inflicted on members of that unit in the Hindenburg line, smashing of September 29, 1918, Was appallingly great. Parenthetically, Major Sasse, commander of the 301st battalion, is now a football coach in Kentucky. ‘‘If it hadn’t been for the tanks, the war would not have been over yet," Mr. Stephenson emphatically declared. Church Calls For Vote on War Prevention Subject to Be Discusses in Open Forum at Wide Fellowship Church Tonight A nation.wide Peace Plebiscite will be taken by one of the major Christian denominations from No. vember 3d to 10th. Inasmuch as Sec. retary of State Hull has called upon the Church of America to arouse it. self into a “flaming crusade” against war, it is evidently the time for clear thinking. While everyone wants peace, it is evident that there is a wide difference of opinion as to how to prevent war. During the week be. fore Armistice Sunday there will be a ballot on the subject. A copy of this ballot will be found elsewhere in this issue of The Pilot. Cut it out, mark it and take it to church Armistice Sunday. To promote clear thinking on these proposals, there will be an open for. urn at the Church of Wide Fellow, ship, tonight, Friday, at 7:30 p. m.
