Friday, June 4, 1943 Kiwanis Club Hears Lt. McGee, Chaplain Mackall Officer Gives Interesting Talk on Paratrooper Training Lt. Tilden S. McGee, Chaplain with the Paratroopers at Camp Mac kall, told the Sandhills Kiwanis Club at its weekly meeting on Wednesday at the Holly Inn, Pinehurst, of the strenuous training men are put through for qualifying as a para trooper. He said the army prefers men of medium build and of the best physi cal conditio/ He told the club that before be coming a paratrooper, he was for merly with the 38th Division, and when transferred, was sent to Toccoa, Georgia, where he received his bas ic training. This training, he said, in cluded running over an obstacle course of six miles in which many of the men in the early stages of the training would fall out. The course was laid out over the side of a mountain, and consisted of jumps over barbed wire entangle ments, scaling 10-foot walls, and spanning streams by means of rope. The speaker informed the club that after the men had passed this basie training period, they were then transferred for special training to Fort Benning. Georgia, where they jumped from a 250-foot tower, and learned the means of controll ing a parachute by manipulating the cords. He described the tower as sim ilar to the one at the World's Fair in New York. In conclusion, he said he had | jumped fifteen times, pointing out that it was not unusual for a man to freeze even after he had jumped sevtTal times. The speaker was in troduced by Ralph Chandler, chair man of the program committee. Lt. McGee was preceded on the program by a tribute paid by Leon Seymour to Kiwanians now serving in the arme services. A star was pinned on the flag by Edwin M. Keithen, honoring his son, Leland former county solicitor and Kiwan ian, who has recently entered the services. John Howarth pinned a star on for Carl Thompson, Jr., for mer secretary of the club, and James Worthington pinned a star on honoring D. Al. Blue, Jr., who has also entered the service.

Some ot the reasons for which a | tenant may be evicted are: where j the landloard in good faith desires Ito occupy the premises as a dwell ing unit for his own personal use; proposes to demolish or remodel the i I accommodations in a manner that cannot practicably be done with the I tenant in occupancy; the tenant has violated a substantial obligation of ; his tenancy other than the obliga- I tion to pay rent, or the tenant is permitting a nuisance, or is using or permitting a use of the housing i accommodations for an immoral pur | pose. In cases not specifically covered |by the regulations. Mr. Thompson I stated, a landlord may petition the j Area Rent Director for permission to | evict the tenant. In all cases a land j lord must give the tenant a written J notice to vacate, which notice shall | state the grounds upon which evic | tion is sought, and, except in non | payment of rent cases, give the ten l ant not less than 10 days to vacate.

School Bus Changes Effect Big Savings 10,000 Gallons Less Gas Used on Shorter Routes, Fewer Stops By walking a total of }.200,000 miles, Moore County's school child ren enabled the county to cut its school bus gasoline consumption by approximately 25 per cent from Jan. 1 to the close of school, reducing the amount for the entire eight months from 75,000 to 65,000 gallons. County Superintendent H. Lee Thomas this week returned to the Ration Board stamps for 10,000 gal lons, the amount saved by shorten ing the bus routes and decreasing toe number of stops. Mr. Thomas explained just how this saving was effected. Bus mil eage was reduced 80,000 miles bv in creasing the walking zone from a radius of one and one-half miles from the school to two miles and by requiring children along the routes to walk one and one-half miles in stead of one to reach the bus. The number of bus stops to pick up chil dren was cut from 2,366 to 1,941, giv ing 425 fewer stops. All of this re sulted in a corresponding saving of tires. With this schedule in effect from the beginning of the next term of school, Mr. Thomas estimates that the buses con be operated fo' - th» nine-month term on around 62,000 gallons, or 13.000 gallons less than was formely required for the eight month term.
