Victory Shopping Days Timed
For Favora hie Easter Buying
A few more blows may be expect-1
ed and it is quite likely that a few |
chilly days and nights will grip this
section, but by the calendar and ac
cording to the censored weather
man Spring is just around the cor-1
nor with Raster a scant two weeks
behind. \
Cooperating with the Chamber of
Commerce, Williamston merchants
have planned a sensational- -almost,
colossal?Victory Shopping Day Fes-1
tivay for the last three days of this
week, the event being timed per
fectly for the thrifty shopper who
would take advantage of marked
savings in making their Spring and
Easter purchases. In fact, this trade
event is inviting to those thrifty
shoppers who would anticipate their
merchandise needs for many, many
months ahead.
The new Easter styles are already
moving in, the merchants having al
ready anticipated and prepared for a
substantial Spring patronage. Stocks
are unusually large in every depart
ment with a few items exhausted as
a result of the war. Despite regula
tions and shortages in many places,
| local stores have been unusually
fortunate in maintaining large stocks
but promises for future deliveries
are not guaranteed. ITcsent condi
tions and future developments, it is
firmly believed, are making the Vic
tory Shopping Days in Williamston
this week a trade event that will long
be remembered. The trade festival
is perfectly timed and arranged for
the convenience of the thousands of
shoppers in this section, the mer
chants doing so to build good will
and contribute their part to the war
program.
War Prisoners Fate
Sought By Red Cross
Will Send Food When Tokyo
Approver Plana Now Be
ing Negotiated
Washington, D. C.?Thousands of
American families who are still
awaiting word as to whether sons or
brothers, known to have been in
Guam, Wake Island, and the Philip
pines, are prisoners of war held by
Japan are assured by the American
Red Cross here that every effort is
being made to obtain this informa
tion.
Many families have been notified
theirs sons are "presumed to be pris
oners of war," but definite confirm
ation must await receipt of the men's
names from the Japanese authori
ties. When the official lists are re
ceived the Information Bureau, Am
erican Section, Office of the Provost
Marshal General, War Department
will notify the next of kin.
Negotiations are progressing but
are not yet completed between the
International Red Cross Committee |
and the Japanese Government rela
tive to ways and means of deliver
ing packages to American prisoners
of war and interned civilians and of
establishing methods of mail com
munication's between prisoners and
their families. All American Red
Cross Chapters will be advised as
soon as these negotiations are com
pleted.
First steps in relation to American
prisoners held by the Japanese have
been taken, Red Cross officials said.!
These were, first, the naming of a |
Swiss delegate in Tokyo to represent
the International Red Cross Commit
tee?Dr. Fritz Paravicini; second,
agreement by the Japanese Govern
ment, transmitted through the Jap
anese Red Cross and the State De
partment, that the treaty of 1929 re
lating to fair treatment of prisoners
of war would be carried out; third,
that civilians, or non-combatants in
terned in Japan or Japanese-occu
SAVE ANTIFREEZE
Automobile owners should
save their antifreeze mixtures
this spring instead of throwing
them away as many did in prev
ious years, Dan A. West, director
of the Consumer Division of
OPA, advised recently. The
chemicals used in making anti
freeze compounds are needed to
make explosives and for Army
and Navy tank and airplane op
eration. Car owners can there
fore aid the war effort, protect
their cars, and help their pock
etbooks by draining and saving
the anti freeze now in their car
radiators as soon as cold weath
er lifts, Mr. West said.
Car owners who usually have
the antifreeze drained at service
stations were urged to bring
their own containers.
Beau fori Landlord* Insist
(hi le^etalde Harden*
Beaufort County landlords who
have never taken an interest in ten
ant gardens are insisting this year|
that their tenants plant a sufficient
number of vegetables to care for]
home needs. . I
pied nations, would be cared for
equally well as prisoners of war.
The only steps now remaining are
receipt of the lists of names of Am
erican prisoners of war held by the
Japanese, and agreements that the
American Red Cross may send food
packages and necessary clothing and
comfort articles for the prisoners.
The American Red Cross has been
advised that all United States mili
tary men held prisoners are receiv
ing the ration of the regular Japan
ese soldier. A list of food given to
interned civilians indicated that they
were receiving excellent care. These
latter include construction work
men captured in Wake Island, and
some Americans who were living in
Japan.
