NO. 21 Forty Per Cent War Bond Quota in Hand as Last Lap Starts Chandler is Pleased, But Urges Importance of All- Out Effort in Final Week By HOWARD F. BURNS As the Second War Loan Drive entered the final week, Ralph L. Chandler, Moore County chairman, stated he was highly pleased with the results so far, but the county was still behind in its goal of $287,- 100. As of the first of the week 40 percent of this amount had been reached. The chairman stressed the import ance of an all out effort being made this week, in order that Moore County might not run behind in its quota. As Americans we must loan every dollar we can possibly spare to back our armed forces in Africa and the Solomons. In the United States it has been suggested that our people make a special effort to buy war savings bonds in the celebration of Hitler's 54th birthday last Tuesday. "A cash on the counter basis is going to be used by the United States Treasury in determining which coun ty or city was first to exceed it's quota in the $13,000,000,000 Second War Loan Campaign." The county chairman pointed out that it is not a gift but an invest ment in safe, secure United States war savings bonds. He appealed to every man, woman and child to in vest all surplus funds in Series E bonds, which have an approximate investment yield of 290 percent. These ten-year bonds vary in sell ing price from $18.75 to $750.00 and maturity $25.00 to -$1,000.00. Se ries F has an approximate invest ment yield of 2.53 percent and ma tures in twelve years. Series G, a 12-year bond, has an approximate yield of 2.50 percent varying in price from SIOO.OO, $500,000, SIOOO.OO, $5,- 000.00 and $10,000.00. You are urged to contact your nearest postofi'ice, b: :,k building and loan association or other agents au thorized to sell bonds.

Splendid Exhibits at Town Library Work of Local Craftsmen Is Attracting Much Interest and Favorable Comment Exhibits of work of local crafts men, now on display at the Southern Pines Library, are attracting wide interest and favorable comment, so much that the person who last week made the prediction that an exhibi tion of this kind would uncover a surprising amount of latent talent in the Sandhills is one of the most surprised of them all. Among the outstanding exhibits are the locomotive of Frank Kaylor; the Rev. Craighill Brown's clipper ship, modeled after Donald McKay's "The Flying Cloud," designed in 1851; a viking ship exhibited by Miss Mary Yeomans, and wrought iron work including door knockers, hing es and latches, candle sticks, book ends and a lantern, by Lorenson Harbottle, Inc., of Aberdeen. The Ark School has a splendid exhibit of baskets woven by the children, knitted work and trays. West Southern Pines school has a model truck, wooden- tray and two airplane models of B-25 Martin bom bers, accurately constructed to scale.

A MATTER OF TIME Failure to read accurately our lasl week's editorial, "Leaks in the Schoolhouse." has caused some persons to imagine that we were discussing the present high school staff.

"Watch for the Sign," Says Service Corps New Scrap Bin is Built on North Broad Street, and Every Little Bit Helps SCRAP BIN RUBBER METALS—aII kinds TIN CANS—Cleaned and Crushed EVERY BIT HELPS Citizens of Southern Pines who have been wondering what to do with the scrap materials that have collected on their premises since the big drive of last fall will welcome the above sign which will soon make its appearance on the lot on North Broad street across from the rail road station. Members of the scrap gathering department of the Southern Pines Citizens Service Corps have secured this lot for the location of a scrap bin whfro autoists can convenient ly deposit their small items of scrap in the proper compartment, thus helping to meet America's urgent need. Careful search of cellars or other places around the home will disclose many small items that, taken togeth er, will soon make a sizeable scrap pile at the bin. "Every Bit Helps." Webster de fines "bit" as a very small piece, a mite. That covers the fundamental purpose in providing this central location to which everyone, by auto or on foot, can bring at least one small amount, rusty pipe, copper or brass wire, old nails, rubber, tin cans flattened and cleaned. When scrap is scientifically treat ed it provides vital war materials and every bit will help, so watch for the new bin and remember to toss in your "bit."

HUGH DAVE "Mr. Hugh Dave Mac Whirr of Possum Bottom, a few miles out from Southern Pines, strikes a new note in humor and homely wisdom," says Louis Graves in his Chapel Hill Weekly. "One of the best things about him is his bad grammar, and the reason his bad grammar is so good is that it is the real stuff, not the cooked up false dia4ect that you see so of ten (a specimen of which is that hoary old nonsense about General Forrest's having used the words "fustest" and "mostest"). THE PILOT is looking forward to having Mr. Hugh Dave drop into the office and read the many nice things Editor Graves has said about him.
