Special guest and informal speaker at the Thursday meeting of the Lions .Club was Sergeant Gordon Liner, of Cedar Grove, Who related his experience as a prisoner of war in Germany. !,I was P prisoner for -eight months and four .'days,” he told them in his easy manner, “and although X was hungry a lot of the time, I was never physically abused.” Gordon Liner, who was serv ing as aerial gunner, parachuted down in Hungary after his plane knocked off. He was captured by the Germans about four hours after he landed. “Golly, but I was glad those Hungarians didn’t get after me with their pitch-forks!” he confided. “They were so mad about some bombs that had fallen on their country which weren’t supposed to that they would tear every flier they could get their hands on to pieces.” Two months of his eight months as a prisoner were spent in march-, ing, marching, marching, constant ly being moved on with 15,000 other prisoners by Germans who were trying to keep ahead of ad vancing Allied forces. While on this never-ending hike, Liner said they all turned intg looters since only by looting could they get food. Once, he remembered, they stole a baby carriage to fill up with potatoes. Anything that would roll their food along with them they would take. The willingness of this young man to answer questions about his experiences, as frankly and impersonally as h# would ques tions about a baseball game, led Lion members to inquire into the nature of many phases of the war that had puzzled fliem before. Sgt. Liner wasf-fftesehted the Presidential Citation for his heroic action. He has been home, on a 60-day furlough and will report to an air base in Miami soon for reassignment. There were about 20 Lions present at the Thursday luncheon meeting to hear Sgt. Liner. Lion F. E. Joyner rftade a report on the district Lions meeting at the Wash ington Duke hotel in Durham which was held several weeks ago. Hillsboro Woaea Are Urged To AM Orange county's chapter of the American Rad Cross has issued an urgent appeal for volunteers in or* der that supplies for hospitalised veterans can be ready by Dee. 1. Heading the list of articles ex pected from this chapter are knit ted socks and sweaters, and bed side bags. Experienced knitters and vol unteer sewers are asked to con tact the chapter immediately. The knitters should see Mrs. Cheshire Webb or call her at 74, Hillsboro. The sewers are asked to register with Mr. Clarence Jones at the Hillsboro or to see Mrs. Sidney Green. It is emphasized that workers should volunteer immediately since this chapter is not able to guaran tee articles nor receive material for all these articles needed until the number available for work is known. Mrs. Greene, chairman of the volunteer special services, says that bedside bags can be made in about an hour. 8he also paints a picture of a lighter load for knit ters since these sweaters asked for are of the sleeveless variety. Expected for this area ^before December 1 are: 30,000 pairs of bedroom slippers, 7,000 pairs of bed socks, 20,000 hot water bottle covers, 40,000 bedside bags, 9.000 cushions, 9.000 cushion covers, 8, 000 fracture pillow covers, 15,000 utility bags and 12,000 Irnlhput wash cloths.

' Jubuee And Worship, Hail End Of War The word all America had been expecting for over ninety hours came Tuesday night at seven o’clock. Nerves pitched high from an almost constaht vigil at radios pent them selves in tears of screams’or silence. Women cried while their men looked on in sympathetic understanding. Younger hoys and girls began tooting horns. Soon older men were joining in the general hulabaloo that came immediately after the announcement. • •• ;.• In Hillsboro, Herman Hooker Brown, Jr., blew a trumpet from die cab of his father’s ice truck until his father, who had been scratching his head while the truck wound up amf down the street, suddenly started his own car and followed- after the ice truck, blowing his own horn and joining in the cele bration. The siren blared for a few minutes, but died down within a half hour after the announcement had first been con firmed, the people thronging to church in a more sober mood. In Chapel Hill, cadets went wild. When the false alarm had come jit 9:3* on Sunday night, many of them had thrown mili- - tary regulations to the wind and dashed unheedingly by their officers, clothed for the most part in pajamas or shorts. After and told that the report had been repudiated at 9:34. But Tuesday there was no repudiation. Townspeople and students alike celebrated. In contrast to Hillsboro, Chapel Hillians blew the lid of war nerves sky high when the momentous news came through, and they were still going strong with wild celebration yesterday,'All the cadets and Navy V-12 students were given midnight liberty and they, with the civilian stud ents and town people, made the.best of it. Bon fires raged in the middle of Franklin Street and the “Y” court that lit up the entire sky. The dancing flames shot upward among a mob of 'people snake dancing and shouting. The celebration was not carried out without the added spirits of alcoholics. Church services for Chapel Hillians were not scheduled until last night. Military and civilian students met in Mem orial Hall for services. All the churches in town held services and the Methodist cjdBfccil had an open air service sheduled. Carrboro’s citizenry* in the Methodist church there. All over the county there was more a tendency to worship than to indulge in jubilation. • Peace. Now that it has come, what does it mean? No one puts his own particular definition of peace into words, but all feel alike that peace is a blessing. All feel alike that peace with victory is the greatest blessing. Sobering thought to all cele bration, the thought that many knew as they knelt in church, is that peace will mean little unless we make good use of it. So prayers were offered that;we might use our victory wisely, use justice and wisdom even against our enemy the japs so that war will not come in our lives again. Some prayed optimistic ally that war would never come again in our lives or the lives of any future generations. Bethlehem Hews ANNUAL.
