Again Ask Farmers To Save All Scrap Melals for Defense Bids Will Be Asked From Junk Dealers After Col lection Completed Scrap iron and steel is not only desirable for the tonnage thus add ed to metals for defense but it is absolutely necessary in the present method of manufacturing new steel, according to County Agent W. V. Hays, who urges the farmers to col lect scrap metal from their farms to be delivered to a central pointf or sale at a place and date to be an nounced later. Farmers should collect metal and scrap material of all kinds, includ ing iron, steel, braes, copper, lead, zinc, old tires, paper, rags, etc., said Mr. Hays, as this collection will aid in national defense, bring cash re turns from its sale and remove cert ain hazards to people and livestock on the farm. Arrangements are being made by a committee, composed of R. E. Dun ning, chairman, A. Hdison Daven port and W. S. Moore, to assemble scrap metal at convenient points and have representatives of licensed deal ers to bid on it. If the scrap ma terial is sold to itinerant peddlers considerably less will be received for It. Mr. Hays said that bolts, nuts, washers, rods, braces, angle iron, flat bars or tool steel, or any part which may be used to repair farm machin ery should not be sold, as high school farm shops in the country need ma terial of this kind in their school defense shop courses.

Harper Resigns Position Al Pulp Mill Here Leaves for Brunswick, Ga.; Was Prominent in Local Affairs Severing his connection with the North Carolina Pulp Comoany. where he had been employed for about four years as head of the chemistry de partment. Dr. E. A. Harper and his family left yesterday for Brunswick. Ga., where they will probably make their future home. Coming to Plymouth when the plant was first located here, Dr. Har per became head of the chemistry department and continued in that work there until last week, when his resignation was accepted by officials ] of the company. Dr. and Mrs. Harper and their son lived at the country club village dur ing their stay in Plymouth and were very active and popular in the busi ness. social and religious life of the town. All three of them were members' of the Methodist church, and very active in its affairs. Dr. Harper was a member of the Lions Club, and became well known through his ac tivity in this organization. He served on several very important club com mittees and attended the metings regularly. The county board of education this week accepted the resignation of Dr. Harper as a member of the Plymouth school committee. He had been on this board for about two years and showed considerable interest in local school affairs. The Lions Club and he board of education both expressed regret at Dr. Harper's leaving, and he and his wife said that they were very reluctant to leave Plymouth, as they had enjoyed living here. Seed-Feed Loans Available Again Application blanks for seed and feed loans, which may again be ob tained through the Emergency Crop and Peed Loan of the Farm Security Administration, are already here, about six weeks in advance of the usual time, according to Miss Mar tha Hornthal, who has been aiding farmers in preparing aplications for the last several seasons. She will again do this work this season from the office of W. R, Hampton on Wa ter Street. The seed and feed loan office has rendered a valuable service to mar ginal farmers in the county in years past, and a fairly sizeable business is expected by the agency again this year. Miss Hornthal said that in addi tion to having the blanks earlier this year, she understood the organization would be more liberal in the amount of money loaned per acre than here tofore, and she asks farmers to come in early to make their applications so that the money will be ready for them to get their fertilizer and seed earlier.

Brooks, of the Creswell school, re ceived by the Beacon this week, in dicates that the Washington County giand jury made an error in their report to Judge J. Paul Frizelle, of Snow Hill, presiding at the superior court session here last week, with ref erence to the statement that the cloak rooms of the school there were in a “dilapidated condition." “Naturaly,” wrote Principal A. T, Brooks to the Beacon, “inasmuch as we have no such things as cloakrooms in the Creswell school we did not like such a derogatory statement. Will you be so kind as to investigate this and print a correction, provid ing you find me to be corect.” A check of the grand jury’s report, as filed with the court, shows the following paragraph: “Creswell white school: In A No. 1 condition in every way except fountain which needs re pairs. Cloak rooms in dilapidated condition.” It is possible that an error was made in dictating the report by the grand jury, or an error may have been made by the stenographer who wrote the report from a collection of notes made by the grand jury mem bers. H. H. McLean, county superintend ent of schools, yesterday confirmed the fact that there were no cloak rooms in the Creswell school. He said screens had been placed in the classrooms for children to hang then wraps on. Mr. Brooks also said in his letter that “the grand jury especially com mended us for our clean building when they were down here, so you can understand how we feel.” -^ Horse and Mule Clinics in County A clinic for horses and mules will be held in Washington County start ing on Monday, January 19, and con tinuing through January 20 and 21 in the afternoons only, starting at 1 p. m„ and ending at 5 p. m„ ac cording to County Agent W.

S. Blount, chairman of the Washington County Selective Service Board.

It is believed that the board will "draft” enough men and women who have special qualifications to serve as registrars, rather than appeal for volunteers, as the state and national service officials hope to have compe tent registrars at the designated places to handle the matter rapidly and efficiently. Another date will be set later for registration of men between the ages of 18 to 20, inclusive, who will not be subject to military service until they reach the age of 20. Also an other date will be set for registration of men between the ages of 45 and 65. inclusive, who will not be eligible for military service but who are sub ject to call for other phases of na tional defense.
