Annual Achievement Day was held last Thursday by the home demonstration .clubs of Orange county at the courthouse in Hills boro with the entire exhibit fea turing garments made from sacks, which brought about the creation of “sack day” rather than Achieve ment Day. The meeting was brought, to or der by Mrs. Clarence Cole, presi dent of the county federation oi home demonstration clubs. After the opening of the meeting and the discharge of the devotional servi ces, Miss Woodward Byars, home agent, made a report honoring the home demonstration club project leaders and neighborhood leaders, showing what achievements they have made during the past year. Miss Byars pointed out that the project leaders in the home de monstration dubs held three- meet ings, conducting demonstrations, in the absence of their leader, Miss Byars. Thirty 4-H club members were able to hold one meeting during the polio epidemic last summer, and that group has been broken down into smaller groups. Miss Byars said their activities were somewhat hindered during the epidemic. She commended the neighborhood leaders for their accomplishments in carrying the food production and conservation program into every home on their lists. In reporting on the accomplish mentsluf county women through the home demonstration clubs, Miss Byars Said the women re porting showed that 98 per cent of them have improved their diets, there-has been an average of 350 quarts canned; 94 .per cent made their own Clothes; 90 per cent made over their clothes; nearly 10 per ceht supplemented their- income on an average of $25 through sew ing, . 1.__,. lvnss uoromy i_.ioya, in recogniz ing the women’s curb market in Chapel Hill,, and its achievements, displayed a chart to the group showing that over the period of the past year, from September, 1944, $30,280.68 has been taken in at the market. Mrs. Sidney Greene made a fav orable report on Red Cross ac complishments by the home de monstratiort clubs in Orange coun ty. The report was based on gar ments and articles made by the Caldwell, Carr, Cedar Grove,-Ef land, New Hope, Orange Grove, St. Mary’s, Schley, and Murphy groups. These groups made a total of 699 garments and 744 articles. Ford P. Brendel, county sanita rian, reported on the sanitary pro gram in Orange county. He said less than 50 per cent of the water supplies in the county are safe. Less than 60 per cent have safe sewage disposal. Nineteen septic tanks have been installed m the past year, 36 approved pit ) priv ies, and 21 water supplies made safe. ' Fifteen women entered the dress review^ aVearing either new or made-over garments. Mrs. Eugene Andrews took first place, Miss Peggy Lloyd took second. In the exhibit, the Stroud Hill dub took the Blue Ribbon, Mrs. Ivan Lloyd the red, and Mrs. J. H. Hanner the white. Decorations for the event were centered on Christmas with a tree being decorated with bonds and stamps. ' ' - HILLSBORO SCHOOLS CLOSE DECEMBER 21 G. A. Brown, principal of the Hillsboro high school, has an nounced that the local schools will be closed froin December 21 through January 1 for the Christ nas holidays. December 7th Three years ago today a knife was thruat Into the back of * peace loving .nation, throwing it into the turmoil of total war. Since that attack on Pearl “Harbor, the American people have settled down to the task of smacking back and are. now doing a job of it. But the Job is not over* Japan has never lost a war. No Jap even considers defeat, for that is something the Empire of the Rising 8un has never sa>“ perlenced. Japan has never lost a war, and she does not expect to lose this one. When you remember that murderous attempt at Pearl Harbor three years ago, let It be a. reminder to buy an extra bond during the sixth war loan and help show the Sons of Hea ven that Japan can and will lose this war. ‘E’ Bonds Still Coming Slow In Loan Drive War bond sales have been pro gressing favorably in Orange county with the sales in- Hillsboro and rural Orange leading Chapel Hill $192,000 to $187*000. The sale of “E” bonds in bdth areas is lack ing. Up to this week, the Bank of Chapel Hill has sold $67,000 Ih “E” bonds and $120,000 in all other issues combined. The Durham Bank and Trust Company at Hillsboro has sold $48,000 in “E” bonds, $6,0p0 in “G” bonds, $125,000 irt “C” bonds, and $13,000 in 2 per cent and 2 Vi per cent bonds. That brings the Chapel Hill total this week to $187,000, with Hillsboro showing a total of $192,000. However, Chap el Hill is leading in the sale of “E” bonds by $19,000, showing a total in that series of $67.000 as corrtpared to Hillsboro's $48,000.

Roberts son of Mrs. Martha Roberts O' Hillsboro, missing in action ir Italy, recently was awarded th< Silver Star for gallantry while serving with Lieutenant Genera Mark W. Clark’s Fifth Army. During an early morning attack on September 14, 1944, upon i strongly fortified enemy line, Rob erts, a squad leader, was able tc advance 1500 yards into enemy territory with his platoon despite the fact that resistance had halted units oh both flanks. There, with the platoon receiv ing hostile fire, he led an attach upon an enemy strongpoint, kill ing three German soldiers and personally knocking oflt a machine gun nest. Determined to carry the engagement to the dug-in German forces, he single-handedly charged another machine gun nest. Since that intense engagement Roberts has been missing in action. ' ‘His heroic action and coura geous leadership under extremely hazardous conditions inspired his comrades in making their success ful attack and reflects grtat credit upon himself, his unit, and the armed forces,” read the citation with the award. Roberts was serving in the iB5th "Custer” Division, fighting on the Fifth Army front. Let’s Help Hogan’s Men With The Joh! Chapel Hill, Dec. 5.—Postmaster W. S. Hogan today expressed dis appointment at the poor response accorded the plea for mailing Christmas packages early. He said he had noticed practically no in crease in business so far. “If people wait past the 15th to mail their packages, they are more likely to be damaged by hasty handling,” he said. To the question, “What will happen if people wait tiU the Jast minute to do their Christmas mailingf” he answered that tfte post office em ployees will “do the** best they can,” but added that as a result of being handled in a rush pack ages mailed lateXwill be more sub ject to faster and', less careful handling and may be ^damaged. This Week’s POPULAR OPINION IN CHAPEL HILL By Sherman Lazarus Question of the week: What is your favorite comic strip? Robert Douglas Hume,r profes sor of dramatic art: “Dick Tracy. The reason I like it is because of the exciting plot, lifts me out of the hum-drum routine of my daily life.” Ben Schreiber, owner of Harry’s Carolina GrillT “Moon Mullins. It is one of the few strips that is hot in continuity, and is original, always good for a laugh.” E. M. Sonntag, proprietor of the Carolina Bowling Alley: “Dick Tracy, on account of the original ity and continued production of unusual characters and dramatic situations.”. ....... J Nicholas Lindsay, Carolina stu dent: “Li’l Abner. Because it is a good satire on human nature and current figure*, and because of the warmth of the family unit which A1 Capp illustrates.” Winifred Cheek, cashier at the Carolina theater: “Joe Palooka, because it’s so true to life. llfou feel that you read about living characters with all the job and heartbreak of your friends around you.** '•> Bill Nims, Marine V-12: “Li’l Abner. For the simple reason a comic strip i3 supposed to be funny, and Li’l Abner is the only one I’ve found to be that way.” * * * WHAT’8 YOUR FAVORITE?
