It is emphasized that all allotments were worked out on the same basis, and while the rules may be modified in the future, nothing can be done about them at this time. has not yet been tablulated, but Mrs. Hermine Ramsey had issued 566 books up to noon Monday to persons who failed to apply for them at the ABC stores in the county during the three-day initial registration period.

The immediate holiday season oi 1941, Christmas Day, and the day after Christmas fell far short of be ing a white season of happiness for many North Carolina families. Death stealthily moving among holiday crowds took a tragic toll of 17 Tar Heels lives on these days, persons unnecessarily slaughtered on the streets and highways of the state by motor vehicles. “This year the slaughter will not be as heavy, but never has the dan ger been greater and the need for precaution more urgent,” said Ron ald Hocutt, Highway Safety Direc tor today in bringing to the atten tion of the public the lurking dan gers hidden in traffic during the Christmas season. “This opportunity to save lives through education is given weight by the fact that during 1941 and this year to date approximately 35 per cent, or a little more than one in three of all the drivers involved in fatal accidents in the state have been in the age group 24 years and under,” said Mr. Hocutt. “This group of young keen minds who are un fortunately contributing so many fa tal accidents to the motor vehicle death rate can be readily reached through the classrooms and colleges of the state. “With war swirling around the heads of the nation’s population, saving of life on the highways is no longer a job that can be attended to tomorrow. Lives unnecessarily snuf fed out today cannot be replaced Every crash on the highway r.ow is a direct stab at the resources, humar and material, of a nation bendir Five New Scouis Join Local Troop In Receni Weeks Troop Committee Reviews Progress at Its Meeting Monday Night At the monthly dinner of the local Boy Scout ti >p committee, held Monday night at the country club, Fred J, Humbert, chairman and temporary scon master, reported that five new tenderfoot scouts have been added to the Plymouth troop in re cent weeks, and two more are to be added at the next scout meeting. Other routine reports and business matters were considered at the ses sion. The committee approved the pur chase of equipment for the scout troop, including troop and patrol flags, standards, and seamaphore signals. Plans have been made to complete the registration of the troop next week for the year 1943. Mr. Humbert said that preparations are in the making for an emergency mobilization of the local scouts. This may come at any time, on orders of either the socutmaster or of district scout officials. It is planned to have the local scouts ready to answer the call for any emergency work, which may be in the nature of first-aid or acting as messengers during black outs or air-raid alarms. Na advance warning is to oe given of the emer gency mobiliza ion. but Mr. Humbert hopes to have the boys ready to an swer a call at any time. Tlie local troop committee is still on the lookout for someone who is interested in boys and scout work to take over active direction of the troop on a permanent basis. Mr. Humbert is serving very acceptably, but may be forced to give up the work in the near future, and it is hoped to have someone ready to take over in that event. $165 Worth Seals Sold Here So Far Mrs. A. J. Brrd. president of the Plymouth Woman's Club, which is sponsoring the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals in the county this Christmas, said Tuesday afternoon that about $165 worth of the seals had been sold up to that time, and she was positive the county quota of $175 would be passed before the cam paign is closed. The seal sale is al ready larger than last year, when $161 worth of seals were sold. Mi's. Byrd said that she did not have to make her final report until about January 20, and she plans to continue the calc in this county right on after Christmas for a few weeks. In addition to being handled by members of the club, the seals have been distributed through all the county schools, both white and col ored. and Mrs. Byrd said that she had not received reports from all of them. Mrs. Byrd explains that three fourths of all the money raised by the sale of Christmas seals is retained to help tuberculosis sufferers in the county. Only one-fourth of the pro ceeds is sent to the national head quarters for research into the causes and cure of the disease. every effort to defeat a common foe. "With one clean stroke North Ca rolina's thousand of automobile driv ers can assure a White Christmas for themselves, their f a m i li e s and friends, plus an invaluable contribu tion to the winning of the war through the simple precautions of safety on the streets and highways,” concluded Mr. Hocutt. "Dim-outs, dangerously worn tires, effect of war hysteria on drivers and holiday traffic congestion are heavy contributing factors to the traffic Powder keg,’ said Mr. Hocutt. -- m 8 Tire Certificates, ? for Bicycles, Were Issued Last Week ■-<♦> I* irst Issued Since Mileage Rationing Program Be came Effective Eight certificates for the purchase or recapping of automobile tires and three certificates for the purchase of new bicycles were issued by the Washington County War Price and Rationing Board last week.
