V 1 C T O R Y ) VOLUME 13 r . hit r ost w ar rrogram .tails continued volunteer Calling upon all Red ross volun teers to continue on the job, J. E. Jerritt, Chairman of the Dpulin ounty Red Cross Chapter, today Stated that the end of hostilities with Japan means' no let-up in lo cal Red Cross activities. "The nature of some of our ac tivities may change," he said, "but there will be important work to do.". , Coincidently with Mr. Jerrit's statement, National Red Cross Chairman Basil O'Connor issued the following from Washington: "Althoughactual hostilities have ceased, thanks to Providential grace,, the American Red Cross faces worldwide tasks. We must, continue to serve our armed for ces overseas for as long as the need exists. Red Cross services to hospitalized servicemen and vet erans must be stepped up to keep pace with demands. Our chapters must he prepared for all emergen cies, such as disaster, and must build up and strengthen their peace-time programs." This brief outline of national Red Cross policy, Mr. Jerritt as serted, means no relaxing of the local chapter's efforts. In fact, many of the organization's ser vices will gradually expand, he pointed out "In the years which lie ahead, veterans' claims upon the govern ment will increase," Mr. Jerritt aid. "The Red Cross is one of the several agencies authorized by the government to handle such claims for hospitalization, pensions and other legal benefits. Assistance to families of veterans, as well as those of servicemen, will also claim a large share of Red Cross iffort At present the Red Cross is call ing for. 3.000 medical, social, and hospital recreation workers to carry on its program among the wounded and hospitalized. And until our boys are brought home from abroad, the American Red Cross will be active in many foreign lands." - Chapter activities must be con tinued with renewed vigor, Mr. Jerritt asserted. The civilian Wood donor program under which Red Cross chapters may recruit vol unteer blood donors for recognized local and regional medical agen cies gives promise of the same far reaching benefits as the program conducted for the armed forces, he said, while instruction in nu trition, first aid, water safety, ac cident prevention and home nurs ing offers other outlets of service that are of extreme importance to our local and national welfare. Mr. Jerritt called attention to the fact that a special committee, composed of doctors and others prominent in the field of public health, had recently completed a study of possible postwar activi ties in which the Red Cross might engage. The civilian blood donor service Is an outgrowth of this study and other recommendations of the committee are now under consideration. Sgt. W. T. Wallace ... v. Returns From Pacific MlSgt. William T.

Extension special ists in home economics at State oollege present two standard reci pes for uncooked and cooked soap. Six pounds of fat with 2 1-2 pints of cold water, and 1 can of lye will make about 9 pounds of soap. Six pounkis of fat is equal to 13 1-2 standard measuring cups of liquid fat. Pour water into a small enameil or sitone or glass container. Dis solve the lye in the water, stir ring with a wooden spoon or pad dle until dissolved. Mix in a well ventilated room but not in a breeze. Let the lye water cool un til the container feels cool t the Tiand. Melt the fat in an enamel ed pan and stir with an enameled spoon or a woodan paddle. Cool the fat to the correct temperature throughout the pan. Coal the fat until the spoon be gins to leave a track i the mix ture. Pour the lye solution into the fat in a email steady stream, stirring slowly in one direction. Continue stirring until the mix ture is a honey-like texture.

Time Is Short For Seeding Pastures A permanent pasture on many farm in North Carolina usually is a fdw acres of poor land sur rounded by a wire fence, with about one-half of the area or ov er, in woods and the remainder in grass that has been overgrazed for a long number of years and not fertilize.!. John Arey, in charge of exten sion dairying at State college, says that the average dairy cow expends about as much energy in finding grasis in suoh a pasture as she obtains from it. It's no wonder that average milk produc tion per cow is exceptionally low on many farms when compared with the milk yield of herds on improved permanent pastures, carefully seeded to both legumes anJ grassci , .veil fertilized, and so managed as to prevent over grazing in early spring, late fall and during diy periods in sum mer. On the basis ot agricultural ex periment station records, the ex tension service has outlined a for age cropii program for North Carolina that may bo adapted to the needs on any farm.

CAROLINA FRIDAY, state College Hints To Farm Homemaker$ By Ruth Current A summer' vacation for curtains that have been on the job all win ter is recommended by textile ex perts this year when curtains are almost Impossible to replace. Open season for windows ie a hard season on curtains, tha spe cialists explain. In strong summer sunlight, draperies may fade, and glass curtains rot. Slowing against screens, and dust and rain from open windows are aM hard on curtains. When draperies and glass cur taiufl are taken down, a light sum mer set may be put up. Or, an old set may be ui;ed. Minor re pairs won't show when these old curtains are pushed back to let in as much air as possible. Or, as a third possibility, particularly where cummers are hot, many families prefer to leave windows curtainless. Cotton draperies may be wash ed if they are unlined, fast color, and preshrunk. Try to have other draperies dry cleaned. A good way to keep draperies from wrinkling or crushing in storage is to fold lengthwise and hang them over the horizontal bar of a coat han ger padUed with paiper. Several pains can then be slipped into a large paper bag. Fold up and pin the open end of the bag. Then hang the draperies in a close: where the paper covering won't get torn. , It is best to have fragile net and lace curtains either cotton or rayon dry cleaned. If they must be laundered at home, the specialists advise washing them in a large muslin or mesh bag, us ing mill, lukewarm euds. Unless curtains can be rolled smoothly for storing, it saves work to put them away without ironing or stretching, because folding makes creases that ne cessitate pressing or stretching when the curtains are hung. Wrap in plain paper. Chats Of The Newcomer had a most in teresting chat with a very cultur ed woman of Duplin County this past week. She was telling of a western city which had a very lovely church and which was non- Hnnnminatinnal. She went On to tell how there was no friction be tween the Presbyterians or the Baptist or the Methodist or the like, because there were no such denominational barriers. I use the term "Barriers" be cause it seems to fit the situation perfectly! If a census were taken, and a hundred people were asked what type of Religion they ad hered to, the largest percent would answer by saying: "Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian" instead of replying that they were Chris tians. The people who belong to this Western city church have but belief and that is "Living Rightly." by animals not only saves labor, but also money. AUGUST 17th., 1945 All Rationing Applications Must Be Passed On By Two Members Of The Board Nightmare Of Memories Comes Back To Marine Somewhere in the Pacific (De layed) A nightmare of memo ries cauie back to Marine First Lieutenant Rommie L. Holt of Richmond, when he recently re ceived a Gold Star to add to the Purple Heart awarded him for pounds received on Saipan. The Gold Star harked back to Iwo Jima, and it reminded Lt. Holt of the dusk of D-Day. At nightfall Lt. Holt found him self in command of a company which had been riddled on the beach. He also found himself as signed to one of the most hazard ous tasks of the campaign to move north along the beach and secure Jap-infested ground be tween the rock quarry on the left and the sea on the right. Lt. Holt landed in the first as sault wave at the head of a rifle platoon. They hardly had touched the steep gray shore when the Japs poured macliine gun fire from hidden bunkers and from wrecked ships long the shore. "We began to lose our key men the first minute," Lt. Holt said. "Our company commander was hit and then the 'exec' was hit. Our mortar officer was hit as he stepped from the ramp of his am trac.

Poultrymen Must Develop Markets Glutted markets for eggs and 1 poultry in North Carolina were the rule rather than the exception before tha war. 'While these gluts were season al in nature, still their cxii-tence and persistance for a period of years indicated a great need for the development of a marketing program on a state-wi !e basis to prevent such gluts. Prof. Roy Dearst'yne of State college says that to a certain ex tent Xorth Carolina producers have lost their local market., be cause many chain stores are seal ing eggs proifbced outside the state. This has been lnrgfly due to the fact that the great ma jority of poultry prodiv.t produc ed in North Carolina is by small units, and alc:o facilities for col lection, grading and storage of the products are not a! 'equate. "If an orderly progress is to be made in the future, the situa tion .must lie attacked in a vigor ous manner," Dearstyne suggests. "Group action on the part of pro dmers ieems to offer at least a partial solution to the problem. It is very likely that there will be more direct marketing in the 7u ture than in the past, with the curb market playing an important part in this movement. "The producer themselves have been extremely lax, for the most part, not only in their efforts to product a quality product, but also in the proper care of this product from the time of produc tion unfcil it finds its way onto the' market. The large .producer eventually will be forced to candle and grade eggs, if markets are to be retained and built up. This situation will likewise be reflected to some extent to the smaller pro ducer.

Intending to scramble out of my shell hole and take a look around, I handed my carbine to a sergeant. It was hit by a bullet as he took it from my hand." Lt. Holt's platoon had landed at 9 A. M. By 3 P. M. they had ad vanced little more than 200 yards, moving along from hole to hole 'under constant barrage. But he had been able to hold his small command together and maintain radio contact with his company and battalion. At duk the company reached its objective below the quarry. The enemy barrage, which had fallen off during the late after noon, was suddenly redoubled. The acting company commander was wounded by a mortar burst. "I was kneeling by his side," said Lt. Holt, "when another of ficer came running. "He was hit in the shoulder, bad, and he fell before he reached us. He asked lor a cigareiie unu I gave him one. We had been kid ding each other about getting wounded and going back to the States. "Well, I'll see you in Los Angeles," I told him. But he died that night." Being one of the only two offi cers left in the company, Lt. Holt took command. "We set up a de fense to be ready for the Japs if thou rmintfrattarkeri " he Said. ... oW-lin anQther any relicved us mMiht Wp fell a nttie alter mianigm back about 200 yards."

Eventually the unit was moved to another sector. Then Lt. Holt and his men fought one of the bloodiest hand-to-hand art ions on Iwo Jima the battle of Grenade Ridge. Grenade Ridge was a Jap-held position overlooking the deep cave-pocked draw which proved to sistance. Holt's company took the ridge in a frontal assault that last ed two days and nights, and joined the final sweep to the sea. Lt. Holt is originally from Pink Hill, and before entering the ser vice in November, 1912, was branch manager of the American Fidelity and Casualty Company, Inc., of Richmond, Va., and Char lotte. His wife, the former Helen Frances McClaren, lives in Rich mond. THE FARM QUESTION R9X Question: How be controlled? nut grass Answer: About the only worka ble plan Li continuous cultivation of the land at every two-week in terval throughout two growing seasons, says Dr. Roy Lovvorn, forage crops expert of the agri cultural experiment station at State college. "This does not ne cessarily have to bo deep cultiva tion, but should be just deep enough to destroy the growing pants.

Lack of consider ation by the public for members of the War Price and Rationing Board in Duplin County has re sulted in undue pressure and ad ditional work for those patriotic citizens who have been serving their government without pay in an effort to further the successful prosecution of the war. For the past several weeks citi zens have been confronting the members of the War Price and Rationing Board with applications which ordinarily should first clear through regular channels. Regulations of the War Price and Rationing Board prohibit in dividual board members from pass ing on any application before it has been officially presented to all members of the board in a regu lar meeting. Therefore, the per sonal requests from people direct ly to those members not only fails to accomplish the purpose, but at the same time places on the board member undue hardship and difficulties in explaining to the applicant why he personally cannot act, and why the petition must be submitted to the board in a regular session. Any additional information which applicants wish to bring he fore the board should be written on a separate paper and attached to the application, in case the in formation cannot be included in the regular application form. By complying with these regu lations, applicants thereby assure themselves of earlier action on their applications and at the same time relieve the undue pressure on those board members who are serving freely to aid their country. diligently." Question: Will there be any me chanical cotton pickers operating in North Carolina during the coming season? Answer: It is reported that there will be one mechanical pick er in Robeson county and about 20 strippers, principally in Har nett, Scotland and Union counties. The leavejs of the cotton must be removed by chemicals in order for these machines to do the best jobs. Cotton is easily stained by green leaves and this makes dyeing of the cotton difficult. Question: Will a dust composed of one part of fermate anlJ seyen parts of pyrophylite filler control tomato leaf and fruit diseases? Answer: This type of funijici dal dust is now being tested in 9 mountain counties by county agents and growers under the u pervision of Howard Garris, ex tension plant pathologist at State college. It will be checked against "no treatment" and also again;;, other fungicidal dusts anld sprays. WAR BONDS .1 r i 1 ) u 5 A Si O mailt Kny Photc Tarakan Invasion. U. S.
