"^stated Mr. McGougah yesterday,
farmers are urged to bring
iron and steel to- Raeford on
iber 1:9th, and sell it. When
program was planned, it was
led for our country’s preparaticm

.every farmer having old implements
which ake no longer of service (m
the &rm can . aid in this country’s
greatest crisis by bringing this old iron

our manufacturers can get it.”
Arrangements hav# been made to
have scrap iron buyers on that day,
accordfiig to Colon Yarborougb, local
scrap iron dealer; and the best market
'prices will be paid. All farmeis bring*

Hus Season
After getting splendid financial
cooperation from Raeford merchants/
for the purpose of lighting the streets I
with the usual Christmas decorations,
a committee of town .aldermen meet
ing with representatives of Carolina
Power and Light Company decided
late Tuesday' to forego this work
this season.
Until very recently it was thought
that power for such p''''L>rr-cS wotdd
not be available. When informed ti^
power could be had, t'ae commitw
was promised adequate financial help
from the local mcrchsnt^. Kowe^^er,
wito a . shortage of the type labor
newed for this wcrk it was decided
that any further delay would make
them too late to be as effective as toew
should be for the cost involved.
Another' factor entering into the de
cision was the remote possibility of
another blacirout. The power comp
anies are freo now to promise this
power r.nd are anxious for Raeford to
Use it. However Raeford is determined'
to cooperate to the fullest and since
the outbreak of war. the fhture can
not be plrnnsd as under ordinary
conditinna and circumstances. The
committee wishes to thank die mer
chants and hopes to be able to start
work in time in 1942 for the best
