Blue, in Raeford was struck by a terrific bolt of lightning. The lightning struck at albput the heij^t of the ehowe^ and electrical storm then ra^og. The home was struck at the north east comer and the occupant of that room, Craig Maynard, narrowly es caped. The window panes were shattered, a large piece of plaster knodced from the wall, and the cur tains, poles and all, wive huried across the room. He had just closed the window and returned to bed when the bolt descended. No occupant die Borne was hurt Marriage To Dodge Ih'aft WiU Not Work Registrants who get married on the eve of induction or after being or dered to report to the doctor for phy sical examination will do so at their own risk and will find that their mar riage will not keep them Hit of the Army. This was made clear today bv Gen* of Sel^ve Service, as he announced a modification of the former policy of leniency toward marrieid men which has been recommended' by State Headquarters. General’ Metts stated that a modification in this policy was made necessary by an increasingly large numbers of registrants who are apparTOtly undertaking to abuse the policy of leniency in an effort to evade military service. The modified poUcy, which was passed on to all Selective Service agencies in the State today, is as fol lows: ‘When a registrant acquires mar ried status after issuance of Notice to Appear for Physical Examination ’ it should be assumed that both parties wncluded the marriage knowing^that the registrant was subject to early ^ for service and were prepared to take the consequences, and there fore deferment in such cases would not appear to be justified. But when a rei^trant hM indicated on his questionaire that he is engaged, giv- ^ the date set for the wedding, or has given similar information in writ- ^ to the local board and the wed- ^g date falls after issuance of No tice to Appear for Physical Exami- nabon, his case should be considered m toe same way as those who mar ried after registrabon, as provided by Amendment No. 77 to Selective Ser vice Regulations. Of course, there may beutoer conditions which would ^viousty temper toe above announc- e- proof was pregnant, or con clusive evidence of absolute depend ent wherein toe wife would suffer undue hardship if compelled to live on toe registrant’s income as a sol dier, etc.” tCwmlpj Mir. ® ^Mrs. mother arrived ■n IDmiailiidL ■n^ modified polic]^.,Generjd Metis pomM out, is in llnt*wilh avrecent MendmTOt to toe regulations, which is as follows: • *Tt is not advisable to defer any TOC* regist^t if he acquired sS purpose of avoiding trainii^ and service, and, thereS A acquired such status aftw the day when he was required to be registered unless (1) he or his clauned dependent or clependents pr^nt to the local boar^^^ Stete^^ of toe .facts peculiarly wl^ their knowledge, showiHgtoJ hist^ leading up to and the cir cumstances under which such status was a^uired, and (2) such tocte show that toe status of the regist- ^ ® majiner con sistent Mdth the ordinary course of human aftirs and wqjj not acquhed to provide toe registrant with a 0^8 for a claim for Class III defer- Metis was careful to point to the applicaioQ of hese principles he anticipates that some mistakes will be made. But he stated he was satisflad that Setecthre Servite thejtate would endeavor Foes Prepare To War On Ikaft Extension Washington, July 29.—Although apparently outnumbered, toe Whee ler bloc in toe Senate organized today to oppose extending toe train ing period of draftees, national guardsmen and reserves, but simult aneously promised there wouM be nq filibuster. CoMfeqiiehtty, AdmihistratiTO lea ders—who have counted a iwo-to-one vote in favor of the proposal— expected a final ballot on toe legis lation late this week or early next The Senate is scheduled to take toe measure up tomorrow. Meanwhile, toe House military committee found itself ihiable to agree on the form toe legislation should take and deferred a deci sion until tomorrow. The measure which toe Senate will consider would state that the national interest is imx>erilled by events aboard and on that basis provide machinery for retaining the men in service after toe expiration of toe year for which they were m ducted originally. Regular Army men also could be retained beyond their terms of enlistment. Within toe House committee, however, sentiment developed for a simple authorization for prolong ing the training period. Represen- jbative Short, Republican of Mis souri, said seven Republican mem bers of toe committee favored such a course. ' A moustache and glasses are used to advantage by Rolwrt Cummings while engaging in sleuthing activi ties for “The Devil and Miss Jones,” fastrpaced RKO Radio comedy in which Jean Arthur stars as “Mias Jones.” Seven Sent To Hosfntal From Wreck Seven negroes were sent to a Lumberton hospital MTOday aff^- noon after toe pick-up truck in which they were riding with 10 other Fort Bragg workers collided with a car driven by Henry Biggs, white man of Antioch township. Biggs was unhurt, except for minor scratches and bruises, as was the driver of toe truck carrying the Fort Bragg workers. According to State Highway Patrol man Joe Murrill both of toe drivers blame toe fault of the accident on toe other. Murrill stated that the accident was still being investigated and no warrants had yet been I but that in all probabiliy cross- warrants would be. The only other accident in the county over toe past week involved a car driven by Mrs. D. T. Skipper and a cable belonging to the Cary Stevens logging crew. The cable was stretched across the road when struck by toe car. Considerable damage was done to the car, but none were injured. Damages were settled on toe spot. Employment Is Highest Since ’29, Says NAM NeDir York, July 29.—The National Association of Manufacturers, comp^ leting a survey of 21 key defense cities, reported today: “Relief rolls are cut more than half, nearly to the normal number of unemployables and ‘chronic liefers’; employment is at the hip est rate since 1929, a skilled labor shortage is so acute that in some instances industry is tratning wom en and ph3rscially handicapped, moi for work in defense production!.” The N. A. M. said its survqy sub stantiated the July 8 report of toe National Industrial Conference board, a research organization, that ofi June 1 only 3,962,000 were un employed in the United States. This fi^re comimred with the 3,300,000 unemployed in the busiest indus trial lays of 1929. “The labor outlook ha!? become so critical,” said toe N. A. M.., “that In. many cities industries now are building up ‘employment baddogs’ Jroinlng men for skilled woric in toe defense factories now in the constructiTO stage.
