I There is maintained in Washing- jton a Federal replacement service, and those persons who have had government service since August, 1937, are eligible for registration at the replacement bureau, and in the event of vacancies anywhere in t.he “non-civil service agencies,” j names from this register are con- I sidered. There are so few vacan cies, however, that only a fraction of one per cent of the names on the register can even be considered at this time. “The policy that I have followed in the past in the matter of assist ing my constituents in obtaining government employment will of course continue, but so many (an landing jobs for his constituents, but the jobs have given out, and Senator Reynolds says: “During the last six years thou sands and thousands of worthy per sons from North Carolina have come to rny office in Washington seeking assistance in the .matter of securing positions in the govern ment service. It has always been the policy of my office to assist these worthy persons in every way possible, and my efforts and those of my office staff have been re sponsible for a large number of them getting employment here. However, in view of present condi tions I think it only fair that 1 should apprize my friends and con- average of 100 persons a day call at my office) are still coming here from North Carolina at consider able expense to themselves, I take this means of acquainting them with the truth of the ma};ter so that they will understand the sit uation before they comp an(i,tthere- fore, that they may be spared the expense, time, and energy in mak ing a trip to Washington in search of government employment.” NAGS HEAD PERSONALS Mrs. Mattie Midgette, wife of Jeffro Midgette, was moved to Nor folk last week end after having ta ken sick at her home here. She is staying with Mrs. L. C. Peterson in Norfolk and may go to the Nor folk General Hospital for treat ment. Mr. and Mrs. Gray of Richmond, Va., spent the week end here. Mrs. Frank White is in a Nor folk hospital undergoing treatment. Stocks of pork in storage in the United States in November, 1938, totalled 251,000,000 pounds, about six per cent less than a year ear lier. ADVISES TAR HEELS TO SAVE TRAVEL EXPENSE Our printing service is quicker. Phone 44, or send it to The Times. SENATOR ROBERT R. REY NOLDS, the State’s Junior Sena tor, in a recent statement publish ed in North Carolina, advises job seekers to save their money, and the trouble of coming to Washing ton looking for jobs, for about all the jobs have given out, the Sena tor says. Senator Bob, who is politically astute and has his ear to the ground, knows that the sledding is going to be a little tougher all the time. His ability as a maker of friends has served him well in stituents of the true situation as it exists here today. “Since my return to my office ELIZABETH CITY The Logical Trading Center for Dare County People THE CIVIL WAR IN CAMP GEORGIA, ROANOKE ISLAND, 1861 4 A i It is the home of relatives, friends and business associates of many years.
