LOCAL YOUTH GROUPS PLAN CENTRAL BODY Representatives of Churches Discuss Unified Meetings Plans for a unified young peo-1 pie’s organization among the local' churches were discussed by repre- j sentatives of various youth groups ! meeting at the Baptist Church Mon-; day evening. Baptist, Episcopal, Presbyterian j churches and the Church of Wide | Fellowship had representatives from their youth leagues, and it was de cided that formal organization plans would be made at a meeting July 13, when two persons from each group would be invited to be present. Ver non Allan presided over the discus sion Monday. It is planned that the various groups will meet jointly at least four times each year and that they will make an effort to work to gether in their mutual objectives. Red dross to'Make Sur<ii(*al Dressinjis r r Meeting of Branch Chairman Hears Mrs. Frost Outline New Production Job for County Mrs Frances Frost of Chapel Hill, general field repre.sentative, eastern area, American Red Cross, told of ficials of the Moore County Red Cross chapter, meeting Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Alice Burt Hunt, chairman, that all Red Cross chapters will immediately un dertake to make surgical dressing for the armed forces. Orders have been placed with com mercial producers to the saturation point. Mrs. Frost said, but require ments are so much greater that thie Red Cross has been asked to make up the needed quota of surgical dressings. Mrs. Frost stated that a scheme of training in this State had been worked out so that the proper mak ing of surgical dressings can be car ried into each branch. Surgical dressings have to be made under rig id rules of cleanliness of workers and workroom, as well as for fol lowing strict specifications as to pat tern. Moore County plans to have a member attend one of the train ing schools. Discussion of Work An informal discussion of various branches of work of the Red Cross brought out the suggestion from Mrs. James Boyd that “practice disasters” should be undertaken to familiar ize every one connected with the work with their duties in case a real emergency arises. Mrs Thos. C. Lyons. West End, chairman of production for the Coun ty Chapter, reported that a total of 2832 articles of clothing had been made up and shipped to designated warehouses from January to June 30.

He was | brilliant at mathematics and was a whiz at flying calculation.” Captain Passage taught at Pine hurst high school during the school term of 1938-39, when he was just out of college, and used to ride a | bicycle from Pinehurst to Knollwood I field for his flying lessons.

Chances of Attack As the member of our local De fense Council in charge of public re lations and education, I was most in terested in that part of Mr. Coates' address which had to do with the question: What chance have we in the United Slates, and especially in North Carolina, of being attacked from the air? This, Mr. Coates said, was the and MacDill Field and was with the! Question most often put to him in Army Air Corps until last December, when he volunteered for service with the American Ferry Command. Last week. Captain Passage made news by flying from Africa to this country to see his first-born, a son, born at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte. Already, he's heading back to Africa to continue his work of flying four to seven thousand miles three times a month, carrying supplies and freight or taking bomb ers from the West Coast of Africa to Cairo, Egypt, to India, to Russia, or over to China and the Burma Road. Not Only One But Captain Passage is not the only locally-trained flier to get into war work William—Bill—Coving ton of Rockingham learned to fly here and now he’s a Captain (maybe more) with the Army Air Corps and was last heard from at Selfridge discussions about Civilian Defense; it is a question our local Defense Council hears put, often enough, and too often in a tone of voice that im plies the answer: none, beyond mere token bombing 1 could wish that everyone that has asked that ques tion had heard Mr. Coates’ answer. It appears at length, but with no un necessary word, in the Defense issue of Popular Government, a magazine published monthly by the Institute of Government, University of North Carolina. This issue contains excel lent articles on, among other sub jects, Aircraft and Air Raid Warn ing, High Explosives and Incendiary Bombs, the War Gases, and sugges tions to Local Defense Chairmen. The issue costs twenty-five cents for everyone. Mr. Coates’ Answer Mr. Coates’ answer to the question BIDDLE AT NEW RIVER Col. Anthony J.
