J. Phipps of Chapel Hill,'as county chairman. Contributions for this fund which help® fight communism through the support of Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia will be accept ed by the chairman throughout this period. President Gordon Gray of the Consolidated University of North Carolina, is State Chairman of the campaign this year. Governor W. Kerr Scott in a pro clamation issued this week calls upon all North Carolina citizens to lend their moral and financial sup port to the third annual Crusade for Freedom. Governor Scott’s statement points out that the people of the United States, “by constitutional right, have no desire to exchange their heritage of freedom for the strang ling effects of Communism and to talitarian dictatorship.” More than 30 million Americans have voluntarily Enrolled in the Crusade for Freedom within fhe past two years,- andhave pledged their moral and financial support to halt the spread of Communism. throughout the world, the Govern or said. “They have endorsed the Efforts of the Crusade for Freedom to use every legitimate means to help the prisoner peoples behind the Iron Curtain to regain the blessings of freedom and' liberty which have been taken from them by ’ their Communist rulers,” the Governor said. He called upon “all our citizens to reaffirm their faith in the Amer ican way of life by enrolling in the 1952 Crusade for Freedom, and thereby serving notice upon the world that as free Americans, proud of the heritage which has been handed to us, we are willing to stand against Communism and to pledge anew our faith in God and our devotion to the principles of Democracy.” Throughout the week North Car olinians will be reminded by the press, radio, and other media of the need for an expansion of Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia to get the TRUTH to the millions of enslaved people behind the Iron Curtain. Crusade for Freedom, organized by General Lucius Clay in 1950, now has 13 transmitters in Europe arid three in Asia. Four new trans mitters are needed to increase the effectiveness of Radio Free Europe, according, to Chairman Gray. Main purpose of the Crusade Is to obtain papular support for Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia, Chair man Gray said. There are many evidences that the program is proving highly effective, he added. Many In County Eligible For ^Cheer’ From Empty Stocking, Says Miss Strowd ‘‘The Orange County Department off Public Welfare will gladly co operate with the Empty Stocking Flind in its effort to bring Christ mas Cheer to those in our county,” according to Miss Annie Strowd, Superintendent of the department. “There are many persons in this county who, through no fault of their own, will not be able to buy things that are associated with a good Christmas,” she said. “These are children, the aged and infirm, and persons who are permanently and totally disabled who receive some aid through the county de partment of public welfare. The amount of aid given, however, does not provide for the ‘extras’ that make Christmas a special occasion.” “There are others in the county yyho are ineligible for public as sistance but whose resources-are so limited that unless they receive some aid, Christmas will mean very little to them. Toys for children or a' little money with which to buy their own Christmas cheer are es pecially welcome.” “We appreciate the inteiest and cooperation of all who want to bring Christmas Chedr to the less for tunate citizens of* otir county. Since we work closely with many people in need and know their difficul ties, we are glad to cooperate with interested groups and individuals to the end that all may have a hap py Christmas.” Donations for the Empty Stock ing Fund for the needy of Orange County have begun to come in dur ing the past week according to Mrs. W J Ogburn, chairman of the Jun ior Service League’s yearly project Cash contributions were received from Miss Mary Gilson, Dr. and Mrs. L.

Paul Carr and Supervisor of In-1 struction Irene Pender, will at tend a Special Education Con ference this weekend in Raleigh, sponsored by the Department of Public Instruction. The purpose of the conference is to consider the problems of ex ceptional children. } riiusooro - ine icuerai ment of Labor has intervened in in effort to secure the re-employ ment of a former Orange County school teacher who left his post in the local schools to enter the armed forces. He is Joseph Barber of 422 Slenn Avenue, Winston-Salem, who was a teacher in the Central School here before entering ser vice. When ae was released from the armed forces, Barber sought to return to the same position he held, but there were no vacancies to which he could be assigned. In fact, according to school of ficials, there were less than half dozen faculty changes Ih the entire Megro school system of the county last year. Employees of States and their political subdivisions are not cover ed by the federal statutes which provide reemployment rights for ex-servicemen. In connection with the Barber case, however, Harvey Driscoll, field respresentative of the Department of Labor, wrote County Superintendent this week: “The Universal Military Train ing and Service Act contains no mandatory provision covering such employee (Barber). However, it is declared to be the sense of Con gress that employees of States, or political subdivisions thereof should be restored to their positions or to positions nearest in similarity to their old positions, the duties of which they can perform. In North Carolina under date of December 19, 1950, this office received a let ter from Mr. J. W. McDevitt, State Director, informing us that no special laws are set up in North Carolina covering State employ ment, however, Federal laws co vering these matters were adhered to. He also referred to Personnel Department Memorandum No. 41 (Revised), which had been sent to all State Departments setting forth military leave and reemployment rights. “We trust that you will ‘recon sider the application for reinstate ment by Mr. Darber.” \ ‘Harvest Sale* To Benefit Carrboro Church Tonight A “Harvest Sale” will be held in the Carrboro School Auditorium to night for the benefit of the new Carrboro Methodist Church.
