Page Four THE PILOT, Southern Pines, North Carolina THE SEASON’S BEST TO ALL OUR FRIENDS We hope that your Christmas 4 will be a happy one and that 1946 has many good things in store for you. We wish to thank you for your generous patron age during the year now closing. BRIGGS BROTHERS N. W. Briggs Vass J. E. Briggs FROM EACH OF US TO ALL OF YOU There’s no place like home when Christmas comes around, and there’s no time like right now to wish all you kindly home folks the merriest Christmas ever. It has been a privilege and a pleas' ure to have served you in 1945, and we look forward to your continued friendship. The Village Inn Shopping Hangover Shopping is hard work at best — hard on the feet and hard on the pocketbook. Stores are crowded with holiday buyers, goods are still scarce, and bargains aren’t always easy to find. Except electricity! Lady, you don’t have to stir one step out side your home to get a whopping big bargain in comfort and convenience — at low pre-war prices. Electric service is always right at your fingertip — plentiful, dependable, ready 24 hours a day to lighten your household burdens and make your way of living more pleasant. And it’s cheap! As a matter of fact, the average family is getting just about twice as much electricity for its money as it did 15 years ago. Yes, electric service is a rare household bargain. But not by accident. It’s the result of the hard work and experience of the men and women in your company. • Hear Nelson Eddy /« "The Electric Hour” ua/i Robert Armbruster’t Orchestra. Every Sunday, 4:^0 P. M., EST, CBS.

Lists War Plants Available For Peace Work Interesting news of the coun try’s reconversion to a peace-time economy is to be found in the daily reports from the Recon struction Finance Corporation in charge of surplus property. They also present a perfect estimate of the wide extent covered by oiu: war industries. Ranging far over the country, the releases list plants in almost every state, giving a great pic ture of a country girded for war. As an example: The aircraft parts plant opera ted by Ampco Metals, Inc., at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, contain ing 109,110 square feet of floor area, is offered for sale or lease. This property, which had a ca pacity of about 400,000 pieces of hardened bronze aircraft parts a month, consits of a 2-story ma chine shop with basement and provided employment for nearly 800 persons. It can readily be converted to other types of mam ufacturing. The building is in a good state of repair. It is locat ed in a highly industrialized area where housing is reasonably sat isfactory, and an ample supply of skilled labor is available. The plant has access to two railroad sidings. Lake Michigan docks are four miles from the plant. Mitchell Field, the princi pal airport, eight miles distant. is accessible by well paved city streets. A quantity of machine tools, other productive equip ment, furniture and fixtures, is on the premises. Another plant, in Pennsylvania, that built gun forgings, is equip ped with general purpose ma chine tools and heat-treatment equipment units. Another is the I Harrisburg Steel Company, an enormous plant of 22 buildings. It made bombs during the war and now could make any sort of metal goods. It has a laboratory and access to eight railroad sid ings. Three other former ord nance works are listed in Penn sylvania, and also a graphite com pany at Chester Springs. | Five more, plants which made was equipment are in Ohio. Washington State lists a coke j production plant and a coal pro cessing plant; Portland, Maine, a former bomb manufacturing plant and an airplane recondition ing plant, recently operated by Republic.; Wisconsin has for sale a smaller plant which made op tical elements for fire-control equipment; New Mexico a project | built for the production of Chan- I nel Cpbon Type Black. It has | pipe lines, railway spurs—^all me chanical facilities. In Multnimah County, Oregon, swords are be ing turned to plough shares as “improved farm last tract” is list ed as available. R. F. C. offices have these list ings and the local agency is at 317 South Tryon Street, Char lotte 2, N. C. Veterans Finding State Employment War veterans numbered more than one out of every three per sons who visited local offices of the United States Employment Service in North Carolina in No vember, it is revealed by Robert M. du Bruyne, acting State Di rector of the USES. In November, 7,485 war veter ans were referred to non-agricul- tural jobs; 2,992 were placed in local jobs, and 60 were placed in areas away from their homes. Of the 454 handicapped veterans who applied for jobs, 210 were placed on jobs suitable for their handi capped conditions. Veterans whose problems could not be handled by local USES of fices were directed to proper agen cies in November, as follows: Veterans Administration, 2,442; Vocational Rehabilitation, 68; Se lective Service, 136; training mhufts* • Measured by the span of years, it has been a long, long time since that first Christmas night, but it might have been but yesterday when we meas ure the spirit of kindness which Christmastime releases. Christmas means happiness, and Christmas happiness is to be shared. We want to share our 1945 Christmas happiness with you. BOB’S Service Station Tel.
