Red Cross Is Active Among the Soldiers P Fort Bragg s branch of the Amer ican Red Cross set a new record for service to soldiers during Novem ber, owing to an influx of soldiers for maneuvers and wholesale volun teering on the part of the ladies of Fort Bragg as assistants. During the month 15.897 new cases were originated, according to the monthly report submitted by Mr. | John A. Cramer, field director, to i the commanding officer of Fort Bragg. These ranged all the way i from furnishing "prisoners of war" | from maneuvers needed tooth brushes and soap, when they were cut off from their own regiments, to investigations aimed at getting em ergency furloughs and discharges for men needed at home. Of these cases.? 2.276 wi re investigations Many of the cases consisted of direct aid, in some cases financial, to sol diers and their families A major part of the activities of the Red Cross occurred in the four Station Hospitals at Fort Bragg, with 1,000 patients served with mag azines, toilet articles, materials to, write home, and either near-necessi-1 ties. The regular Red Cross staff at Fort Bragg, twenty strong, was ably assisted hy 65 women volunteering for the entire period of maneuvers, along with many others who aided them when they were able. In addi tion to this staff, a number bf field workers were engaged in "soldier aid" in the field with maneuvering troops Nearly 1,400.000 of the nation's farms have substituted electric lights for oil lamps in the past 6 1-2 years, reports the Rural Electrification Ad ministration Farmers Urged To Produce No. 1 ^ ar Material ? Food "What can I do? is the question being asked now by North Carolina farmers in the early days of this war. Dean I. O. Schaub of State Col lege. agricultural representative on the executive committee of the State Defense Council, answers the ques tion in part. He says: ' Agriculture's part in the war-time economy of the United States is to produce the No. 1 war material?food. We need to grow more food than we've ever grown before We don't need more tobacco or cotton, and if necessary we should sacrifice acreage of these two crops to produce food, and feed from which food can be produced." Dean Schaub said the goals estab lished under the Food-for-Freedom campaign, and accepted by farmers when they signed their farm plans for 1942. will insure enough food for home use. and for the fighting forces of the United States and her allies. But under no circumstances can we aford to fall short of meeting these goals." he declared. "The best policy now is to plan to exceed the goals " The State College leader said the two immediate and practical jobs for farm people are to see that farm machinery is in good repair, and to collect scrap metal off the farm and sell it to junk yards. "Steel is scarce." Dean Schaub as serted. "and more scrap metal is ur gently needed for steel production. The manufacturers of farm machin Itv must know at once how much steel will be needed to produce re pair parts for farm tractors, com bines and other machines. The metal will be allocated to produce these parts The problem right now is to determine what parts are required." The United States has a great su periority in the matter of food. Dr. Schaub said, "and it is up to farm people to see that we remain super ior." he asserted. //roof/cr Recom mended For Small Poultry Flock A home-made lamp brooder, which can be built at a cost of from $5.00 to $7.50. will accommodate 50 to 60 chicks.
