BiUChance — Loses No Time Getting Home C. W. Chance, Jr., who is known by his friends in and around Hills boro as Bill, came home Monday with his discharge and a tale of, rapid demobilization from the Army. Accumulating enough points for the coveted discharge on Oct. 1, he hopped a plane leaving the Philippines the next day, arrived in California a few days later, was ifi 'Fort Bragg by the 12th and boasted absolute freedom from Army restrictions by the 15th. A six-months-old daughter he had not seen was one thing that made even this rapid delivery trip seem slow. The proud father, a staff ser geant at the time of discharge, had been in service for three years and overseas since Nov. 13 of last year. He was in on the liberation of the Philippines and saw sev eral other islands while in the South Pacific. Four battle stars were entitled him. Bill’s wife is the former Miss Winifred Cole and his daughter is little Mary Lynn Chance. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Chance, Sr. PATRICIA GREEN AT HOME Miss Patricia Green, a student nurse at Duke hospital, spent the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Green. Lag Seen Leadk rs Tuesday afternot n Gilbert Ray, treasurer tor the Ui ited War Fund Drive in Hillsboro and rural Or ange, reported that a little over $900, not quite one fourth of the quota, had bean contributed. This sum came for the most fcart from Hillsboro proper. Few of the schools and hardly any of the neighborhood leaders have been heard from yet. 4 . •1 ' ■ J. T. Gobbel, treasurer of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro campaign, revealed that approximately $3,000 has been contributed in his area. Very few of the letters that went out have been answered, and many of the canvasses have not reported. This $3,000 is about a third of the Chapbt UUl-Carrboro quota. The campaign is expected to bontinue throughout Hillsboro and rural Orange for the remainder of this month.-sA. time limit of two weeks from opening'date on Oct. 1 was set originally at Chapel Hill and Carrboro, which would con clude that the drive ended there this past Monday. However, contri butions made after Oct. 15 are still acceptable there. From all drive chairmen and leaders comes information that people are more reluctant to boost this drive than any made pre viously. They point out again that need fok,, this money is as urgent, if not more so, than during the wir and request that those asked to donate consider the worthy pur pose to which funds are going and make their contributions more liberal. ffew-Hope Mrs. Ada Callory of Durham spent the weekend with her sister, Mrs. Edgar Campbell.

Coleman, Jr., Hillsboro (Continued on page 8) Hillsboro Legion, With Wrenn Commander Plans For Cooperative Veteran’s Office I The Hillsboro post of the Amre ican Legion, with Walter Wrenn who was first vice- commander now serving as commander since William F. Lynch’s resignation on Oct. 2, is planning ahead for a Veteran’s Service office which will be set up here, it is estimated, within 60 days. In the budget drawn up „ by county commissioners in July, the sum of around $1,000 was set aside for such an office in the county. Both Chapel Hill and Hillsboro posts will cooperate in raising additional, funds needed to pay one employee, probably a’dis abled veteran, to serve full time. The Veteran’s Service office will function through the State Vet eran’s Commission and the Vet eran’s Administration agencies. Purpose- of the office will be to furnish a center where a return ing serviceman may secure all his information, or be directed to the place where his one particular peed can be answered. With so many different agencies scattered around, each one set up for some one thing, the veteran has to run from place to place, never know ing Just which bureau to consult for some particular problem. The Veteran’s Service office will at tempt to remedy this situation. . Hillsboro’s Legion has 90 mem bers for next year against 80 for this year. J. Martin Crabtree has 'moved to first vice-commander „ . . t . iliiuHtr&i* nt- • with Walter Wrenn s advance to commander, and the position of second vice-commander will be empty until the post’s next meet ing in November. Thomas Shue, recently discharg ed serviceman, has been appointed assistant adjutant. Adjutant Clem R. Strudwick is to be away for sometime, and Shue will take over his duties 'temporarily. The Legion plans to have some kind of entertainment in the late fall, but will not sponsor dances this year. Right now the big iron in the fire is to get the peny »g£« fleers acquainted with their jobs, the post cooperating asja unit, and the Veteran’s Service office set up. F.M.X. Contestants Have Fun At Meet Stamp Sales Still Rising Chapel 'Bill.— The post office here ended its fall quarter on Sept. 30 with total stamp sales of $33, 937.81. $tot only is this figure *an increase over the previous quar ter’s total, but it is’ the highest figure ever -tabulated in any one quarter. Since 1932, stamp sales have in creased steadily. There has not been a single quarter in 13 years that did hot bring in more in come from stamp sales than the quarter preceding. Fiscal year for the postofflce ended June 30 with gross receipts for the year at $127,020.72. Classi fication of a post office depends on stamp sales for the year, and on this basis the Chapel Hill post office received grading of “A” with twice as much again in stamp sales as was required., for this rating.* Plans Ahead Chapel Hill.—Next Wednesday night the Rotary club will invite 25 farmers from the southern part of the county to attend their meet ing when V. E. Davidson, regional biologist for the U. S. Soil Con servation Department, speaks on wild life and the development of fish ponds. t Davidson is an authority on stocking streams and lakes with fish. He hfc^s served nine south eastern states in his capacity as biologist, with headquarters in Spartanburg, S. C.” For their Halloween meeting Oct. 31, Rotarians will give a party for teachers in the Chapel Hill school at the Carolina Inn. E. Carrington Smith is head of the committee in charge of this af -4,,. Thompsons Told Of Son’s Heroic Action Mr. and Mrs. John M. Thomp son of Rt. 1, Chapel Hill, have re ceived word only recently that their son, Charlie Thompson, was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic action on Saipan in June 1944. A copy of the citation which they were sent by the War Department included the follow ing words of praise: “While crouching in a fox-hole, protecting himself from enemy artillery concentrations, Private Thompson observed several ma rines lying painfully wounded and helpless on the ground in the im mediate vicinity. This area' had been subjected to constant enemy fire for 24 hours, and the morale of the troops was not at its usual high peak. Realizing the need of immediate medical attention for these wounded marines, and with no aid in sight, he voluntarily left his place of safety. “With absolute disregard of the enemy fire and his own personal safety, he carried these wounded men to amphibian vehicles back at the beach so that they could be evacuated. His heroic, volun tafy action encouraged other com rades nearby to follow his cour ageous example. % ' “The daring and fearless action of Private Thompson provided the inspiration to carry on in spite of all odds and Was instrumental in saving the lives of many mem bers of our forces.” MRS. CATES IN ROXBORO Mrs. Mae Cates, who has not very Veil lately, spent last -week and most of this week with her daughter, Mrs. Riley Oakley, in -Roxboro. i ASS. Fred Reitzel, Rt. 2, Hillsboro, shucked 20 ears of corn faster and cleaner than any of the other con testants Friday at the Hillsboro school auditorium as stockholders in the Farmers Mutual Exchange relaxed after a short business ses sion with a series of games and contests. Judges Arthur Wilson and. Robert Nichols declared Reit zel the winner over 20 contestants. A full barrel of floor went to Mrs. J. O. Franklin of Rt. 2, Chapel 'Hill, whose name was drawn for this prize. Mrs, R. I. Miller of Rt. 2, Hillsboro?1'Had half a bar rel of flour and Mrs. Fred Reitzel of the same address had a quarter » ■. barrel of flour in their possession at the end of the drawing. — Cash prize of $10 was awarded G. O. Reitzel of Rt. 2, Hillsboro, whose name was on the lucky draw. Henry Hogan of Rt. 2, Chap el Hill, won $5 from the draw, and his luck continued the next morning when he bagged a five point deer down at Pinehurst. Three bags of laying mash went to Clyde Sigman of Rt. 2, Hills boro, and two bags were won by Thofliaa Finley. Mrs. C. E. King won the use of a family-sized locker for one year. Contest bringing perhaps the most laughs from the audience of 150 was an attempt of some ten men to turn into designers of wom en’s hats. Among the amateur hat decorators were Sam Kirkland, Lonnie Hogan, Don Matheson, Ot to King, John H. Cate and .Ed ward Latta. ; - Given unadorned women's head gear and a large basket from which to choose desired frills, the men set to work tacking on feathers, balls, ribbons, scollops and every thing but the kitchen sink. After much pursing of lips, tilting of heads and holding the creations at arm’s length for observation, the men each chose a woman from the audience to model the concoction they had whipped up. Ed i^atUda %at, paraded before the judges by Mrs. W. O. Mincey, won first prize. Runner-up was John H. Cate’s black pillbox which had a question mark feather curl ing in the back. Miss Mildred Hunt wore this hat atop her pretty black hair. Mrs. Mincey, a tiny little lady, was overshadowed by the huge black bonnet Ed Latta had_ designed with red ribbons to tie under the chin and a mass of feathers on top. All these contests and the merri ment . that .went along took up much of the two hours that the meeting was in progress. Refresh ments were served at the end of the activities by the Exchange. - Bethel Hill Licked 26-0 By Hillsboro By Robin Gilmore Last Friday at Bethel Hill, Hills boro got going in a big way to defeat their host team 26-0.
