He urged that people be patient in deal ing with others during this time of tension. Other speakers were City Clerk Howard Burns, James Schwartz and Commissioner Bynum Patterson. R. W.

Sorenson, Post Chaplain at Camp Mackall, in an address Wednesday to the Sandhills Kiwanis Club at the Southern Pines Country Club told the gropp that the duties of a Post Chaplain in addition to acting as the consulter of the commanding officer consist 75 per cent in acting as counsel for his men. Besides having the honor of being the commanding officer's pastor, his job is to boost morale, to conduct religious services, to visit and con sult with the sick and injured and to perform marriages, which are con ducted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the post is lo cated. To be a chaplain, a candidate must be a citizen of the United States, be able to'stand a strenuous physi cal examination, and have a college education, Capt. Sorenson informed the club, and he must have had at least three years experience as pas tor of a church. In conclusion, he told of many in 'ldresting experiences, letting the club in on the daily routine of a chaplain which is crowded with sol ving many personal problems of his men. Dr. E. M. Medlin of the program committee presented Norman Shenk, general manager of the Central Car olina Telephone Company, who in troduced the speaker. BETTER SLOW DOWN Judge J. Vance Rovvc of Moore County Recorder's Court has deter mined to do something about the speeding in Moore County, for he feels that if the public in general would observe the 35-mile limit which is now a 'aw by proclama tion of the Governor, it would prac tically eliminate serious accidents on the highways. The Recorder's Court last Tues day adopted the following schedule of minimum penalties for violators of the 35-mile speed law: For driving from 35 to 45 miles per hour, court costs; 45 to 55 miles, a fine of $lO and the costs; 55 to 75 miles, a fine of $25 and the costs; above 75 miles, a fine of SSO and the costs. Widespread publicity is being giv en this action in order that the pub lic may know what to expect if the laws are not observed.

DON'T LISTEN If anyone tries to tell you that other War Ration Books will go out of use when use of War Ra tion Book No. 4 begins on Nov ember 1, just pay no attention. All copies of War Ration Book No. 3 "should be guarded as carefully as the new books," it was pointed out yesterday by Theodore S. Johnson, Raleigh District OPA director.

Y, Z in Book No. 2 will be good until November 20; plans al ready have been announced for using shoe stamps in Book No. 3 for a period of perhaps two years; brown stamps in Book No. 3 will not be exhausted (they're used for meals and fats) until some line in January—and so on.

Your publicity, so generously given, was an integral part of the success of the drive.

Southern Pines led the County and the County went way over the top, so you can see for yourself what was done by all. I don't want to call any particular names for the good work various people did, as so many people did so much good work, but I cannot re frain from heaping piles of praise on Mr. Paul Jernigan. He worked incessantly, day ana night, walked ! up and down our streets many and i many a time and added enthusiasm boundless to the very able energy | and hard work, all of which is shown | in the results of the campaign. I be i lieve you will see in times to come that Mr. Jernigan will be most ac ! tive in anything good for the Town, County or State. I am attaching a copy of the re port of the Colored people, which I 1 hope you can publish. This is strong j evidence that we are all 100 per jcent Americans regardless of race, j creed, color or station in life. | With renewed thanks for your I splendid woi k, I am, Sincerely yours, Eugene C.

Firemen, Police men, Reporters and Insurance Agents—these latter a little late were greeted by James Boyd and his cohorts at the "House of the 100 Pines" where a brisk fire was merrily blazing its way in the deep mat of pine needles around the garage. An unusual feature of the fire was the utter absence of cars and spectators owing to the ef ficient work of the police. The house located on the Boyd estate is occupied by Major and Mrs. S. A. Lewis, who were not at home to witness the excitement. FORMER LOCAL MAN HONORED AT GRAHAM H. G. McElroy, formerly manager of the J. N.

I High Falls, the busy little manu j facturing town nestled among the j scenic hills of upper Moore was the I first town in the County to |reach its quota in the United War Fund drive, according to informa tion passed along by the county chairman, W. P. Saunders of Hemp. John Currie is chairman at High Falls and the quota which was reach ed by the middle of this week, was S4OO. i Next in the list of over-the-top'ers was Pinehurst, with E. L. Scofield reporting their SI,OOO quota over subscribed well in advance of the final date. Carthage, with Sherriff C. J. Mc- Donald as chairman, has done a splendid work, reaching its $1,500 quota with three days to spare, and Hemp, which also was assigned $1,500, is confident of success. Southern Pines, with a quota of 33,000, was a little past the half way mark Thursday, with Chairman Harry Vale and his workers carry ing on with undimished zeal. The prompt anri wholehearted support of every citizen will be greatly ap preciated by the committee.

Beasley is . heading the drive, between half and three-fourths of the S4OO quota is in sight.
