' 'f, ; , t, jPKjCETEN CENTS lw-til LERATION MINUTEMEN 1 m Operation "Minute Men?' will take place most any v day .now; w This program is designed to alert our Na tional Guard, Army and'Air units'and the general pub s' lie to what to expect in case of atomic bombings. The idea is not intended' as a'scare but to inform us of what to ; texpect in case of an emergency. It is a practice. All employers are requested to be prepared to give their .help, who, may be called, time off when the alert call comes. World tension is at a peak and America must be , ready in case of an attack. Soma military leaders thinl ( .it is iComing ihortly; others don't; think so. But, the f, masses in this country, not knowing internal war as ' Europe, does, need to be familiarized With what it ' .might be. To defend ourselves we must be on the alert. We, here in Duplin, are located in a strategic point; about half way' between Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune; .about, half way between .Wilmington and .Seymour 'y Johnson Field in'Goldsboro." We remember that Wil ' .mington was one of the most important ports for the i Confederacy during the Civil War arid now with the i ;. ammunitions dump at Southport, in case of an attack, " Eastern North Carolina can well be a vulnerable point for the enemy. . We don't know when the call is coming i but let s all be alert for the practice. J. K, Grady. Sunrise Service At Lyman .
