FDR Says Tried To Sabotage Defense Program r j^re^sident Roosevelt said Monday hight''a%t' Republican leaders who now accuse him of neglecting Amer ica’s defenses had tried repeatedly in years gone by to “sabotage” the administrations efforts to increase our defenses. In a major political address broad- X jfrom Madison Square Garden, jVfr.'yKoosevelt declared: now brand as false the state ment by the Republican campaign or ators, day after day and night after night, that the rearming of America was slow, that it was hamstrung and impeded, that it will never be able to meet threats from abroad.” He cited statements and votes by which he said Republican leaders— before the present campaign—^had opposed increased defense appropria tions and'tried to block aid to-Great Britain. Although he did not refer by name to Wendell L. Willkie, the Repub lican presidential candidate, Mr. Roosevelt said one of the alterna tives to his re-election was to risk the future of the country “in the inexperienced hands of those who in lese perilous days are willing-reck- ssly to imply that our f>oys are al ready on the way to the transports.” • Willkie said recently thpt, if the president’s peace promises were no better than some of his others, then the boys might as well be on the transports. Mr. Roosevelt, citing the Congres sional Record, contended that the lord of Republican leadership, in oth international and military af fairs, was one of “timidity, weakness, and shortsightedness.” COTTON GINNING REPORT Census report shows that 11,845 bales of cotton were ginned in Hoke county from the crop of 1940 prior to October 18th as compared with 11,- 480 bales from the crop of 1939. Red Cross EnroDiiiait Bolins Nov. 11 The most extensive Red Cross en rollment since the first world war will be launched November 11th, and there is greater need for Red Cross funds in America now than at any time since 1920.. A dollar given to the Red Cross serves as worthy a purpose as any dollar spent in Amer ica. Of every doUar raised, 50c is spent in the county in which it is raised, the other 50c is spent in the station and nation. Over $90,000.00 of Red Cross money has been spent in North Carolina this year for flood relief alone. Twelve counties were effected in western North Carolina and six counties in the eastern part of the state. The total number of families aided was 2,091 and the expenditures amounted to $90,316.13. This does not include any admini- funds was made, although a few chapters did make voluntary contri butions for this disaster.

A Red Cross Rally will be held at the Hoke coimfy high school November 8th. at 3:15 p. m. All (Continued on page eight) Admiral Harold R. Stark said Mon day night that the United States navy ‘might be confronted with defen sive problems beyond the scope of our previous conceptions” but as serted that America now, as in the past, “has what it takes to win its wars.” “It is the duty of your naval of ficers to plan for extreme even tualities,” said the chief of .naval op erations in an address prepared for a Maryland navy day dinner in Bal timore. “I violate no confidence when I tell you that we must consider the possibility of assaults in either or both oceans—and that we might have to assume responsibility for the de fense, not only of these shores, but also of those of our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere.” He said that “quite possibly” the navy might have to face such a broad defense problem “alone.” Admiral Stark took sharp issue with persons who, he said, paint “a depressing and even a contemptuous picture of our American character.” “They say we are rotted with easy living, divided in our councils and of uncertain miiid. They say that in our pursuit of higher living standards, and in our' obession for material things, we have forgotten spiritual values. “We have been accused of that before. “I believe that should ,we again be put to the test, we shall prove it to be false now, just as we have proven it to be false in the past. “ .... In our history there is enough of character and of devotion, and of self-sacrifice to reassure us . . . Past history shows Americans to be a strong, sturdy, fighting na tion.” But “violence is loose again,” he pointed out, and he warned against confidence in the efficacy of “mere words” and a “fictitious sense of ac complishment” as a result of passage of naval expansion legislation. Voting Places To Be Open From Sunrise Until Sunset Nov. 5tk - s Tuesday, November Sth, Is na tional election day, and local of ficials pointed out today that al though the voting places are open from 7 a. m. until 7 p. m. fme. the primary, they will be open from sunrise until sunset for the general election.

Asserts U.S. Most Expand Air Defense Declaring that “our problem of air defense is no longer the problem of defending our national boundaries alone,” but of defending the entire American hemisphere, Oswald Ryan, senior member of the Civil’Aeronau tics authority, warned a large aud ience in Chapel Hill Monday night against the extension of German and Italian commercial airlines into South America. “Now we can no longer depend upon our supposedly geographical is olation for protection against this axis infiltration in South America,” he asserted. Our national interest re quires a comprehensive program of aviation development in Central and South America—a development which will promote a closer relationship and understanding and concert of aq^on between this country and our neighbors to the south.” Mr. Ryan, who appeared under the auspices of the International Rela tions club, was introduced by Ad ministrative Dean R. B. House. His address was broadcast over a coast- to-coast hook-up. Pointing out that the Civil Aero nautics board is now regulating American flag airlines operating through every country in South America, Mr. Ryan said that with the exception of Coj^ompia, Venezuela and Paraguay, every republic in South America today has a nationally or ganized airline that is either CFerman controlled, influenced of operated. “Those airlines are operated by German pilots with German equip ment, and many of the planes they fly are identical with the infantry and parachute troop transports that were used by the Germans in the in vasion of Norway, Belgium, Hol land and France. And some of these aircraft are flying within four hours of the Panama canal,” he declared. “This axis penetration in South America,” he reminded his aud ience, “has not been the spontaneous growth of free and expanding in dustry; it has been the well-consid ered instrumentality of a national plan end program; a. program sup ported by/ government subsidy and bent upon commercial, cultural and political domination. And that pro gram, aided by a vast army of me chanics, pilots, and executives,, has (Continued on page eight) County Agent Advises Use Of Certified Seed By A. S. KNOWLES The small grains, oats, wheat, rye, and barley yield abundemtly in this section of North Carolina, usually making better yields than many of the Piedmont and mountain counties. The acreage of small grains is rela tively small, however, and more acreage should be planted. Small grains encourage the growing of les- pedeza since these two crops may be planted together. This edmbination is doing much to bring aboht a well balanced system of crops ^d live stock. Whatever the kind of main or the variety it is important t^ow seed of good quaiity—the best is certified seed which is a guarantee of good quality, high in purity and germi nation, and free from a large amount of noxious weed seeds. The leading varieties of wheat is the Red Hart, however several farm ers are planting Hardired and Carala, the latter variety has been developed by the North Carolina Experiment Station and has proved itself in competition with other varieties. Ab- ruzzi rye is about the only variety that should be grown in this sec tion. Tennessee No. 6 barley has been the leading variety for some time in this section, however due to its susceptibility to smut other var ieties which' are resistant are now being brought into this section. The leading variety of these is one that has been developed by the North Carolina Experiment Station and is Beardless Barley No. 23. All of these seed should be planted prior to November 15 for best results. In order to insure a good crop of small grain, the seed bed should be well prepared by either discing or flat bfeaking. In this section, some three to four hundred pounds of 4- 8-4 fertilizer should be applied at the time of planting, and from 100 to 150 pounds of nitrate of soda ap plied at the time growth starts in the spring which is usually around March 1. Lespedeza seeds in so well with small grain that farmers should take advantage of this and seed lespedeza on the wheat, oats, and rye during February and early March. This may be done by using a cyclone seed sower or drill it in using ordinary grain drill. The purpose of harvesting small grain has just about been solved in this section as there are sufficient number of combines in Hoke county to harvest all of the grain that can be grown in the next few years. Care should be exercised at the time of harvesting to insure dean seed. Com bines and thrashers should be thor oughly cleaned before attempting to harvest different variety of seed. Before these seed are planted, they should be treated for smuts and oth er diseases. Stinking Smut of wheat and covered smut of oats can be controlled by treating the seed with ethyl mercury phosphate (ceresan). This material will control covered smut of barley to some extent. Smut resistant varieties of oats are safer than the susceptible varieties. Rust can be partially controlled by grow ing early varieties. These often es cape rust damage by maturing their seed before the hot, bad weather afi- pears in the spring and early sum mer. Shannon Man Gets First Draft Number Stephen Adkins, White, of Shan non Route 1, Holds Number 158 In Hoke County; The Lucky Number—So To Speak. Draft board of Hoke county click ed into high gear Wednesday along with other boards throughout the country following the drawing Tues day and Tuesday night of the order numbers for America’s first peace time draft; and by the end of the week questionnaires will be in the mails to the first several men whose numbers were drawn—the first step toward a year’s military training. The first number, drawn by sec retary of War Stimson was 158 and that number in Hoke county was held by Stephen Adkins, white, of Shan non route 1. Second number was 192 and was held in this county by John Parker, colored, of Red Springs route 1. As soon as the questionnaires are received by those drafted, they must be filled out and returned to the draft board, which will then decide whether the man is available for immediate military service or should be exempt bceause of dependants, jobs vital to national defense, or physical defect. It is anticipated that the first group of men to see service will go into camp about the middle of November. More will be called up each month until next May and after that, 400,- 000 men will be called into service every six months for the life of the bill—which is until 1945. Government officials have estimated that this will give the United States a reserve of 5,000,000 at the end of the bill’s life. Registrants may learn the order in which they probably will be call ed by reading the numbers drawn in the daily papers and comparing the order number with their serial num ber, which is posted in the courthouse. In any event, the men will be notified by their local draft board several weeks before they are sched uled to go into service. EVENT WILL LAST 3 DAYS; FREE PRIZES SCHOOL briefs! By K. A.
