Letters ToThe Editor Editor News-Journal, Raeford, North Carolina. Dear Sir: We received a News-Journal today for the first time in approximately four months. In this issue we see where the editor asked the people for magazines to send to the boys in Curacao. We think tiiis is a grand idea, but what we can’t understand is why the editor waited until now to think of boys from Hoke county who are in foreign service. We have been here for nearly twelve months and we have never received reading ma^ terial or any thing else from Hoke county. When we first came here twelve months ago there were ap proximately seventy-five of us. Now there are only about fifty of us. We would greatly appreciate it if the boys from Curacao don’t mind, if they would divide their magazines with us. THE BOYS IN TRINIDAD FROM HOKE COUNTY. April 9th, 1942. Paper Needed For Many War Uses New York, April 11.—As part of our national efforts toward defense, waste paper is being gathered in un precedented quantities. Daily the radios and newspapers send out their call to housewives, janitors, and others to collect all waste paper so that it may be converted into articles of military usefulness. Of course, a way hasn’t been found yet to make deadly ammuniticrn or impenetrable tanks and battleships ^out of paper, but a thousand other things that will help us toward vic tory are made of paper. Old newspapers, magazines, and wrappings can be converted into cardboard or fiberboard of various kinds. Government-contracted plants use this reclaimed paper to make packing cases, shell cases, 75-nun. gun shrapnel containers, ammuhi- tim packs, and tags. Cases for Food Last year, the army and navy used 9,000,000 cases of canned goods. The army and navy are much larger now and need a correspondingly larger number of cardboard packing cases to ship and hold its millions of pounds of food, ammunition, parts, medical supplies, and clothing. Most of these products used to be shipped in w’ooden or other kinds of contain ers. Wood and metal are now re quired elsewhere and fireboard does just as well, besides weighing a little less and taking up less space. The mUitary forces have a hundred needs for paper products. For in stance, two-inch-long, shellacked paper tubes are used as powder con tainers of flares. The flarC shells are attached to tiny parachutes made of special “paraflare” tissue paper. One way for the Quartermaster department to make certain that the right article reaches the right place is to use the right kind of identification tag. Trese are of paper. So are the attached clasp envelopes that contain detailed lists of the packages’ con tents. The envelopes are secured to the package through four eyelets One in each comer, are easily re moved, and wnen the container is emptied, envelope and list can be conveniently filed for future refer ences. Spreading Sanitation is a great military wea pon. The lack of it can knock out a ^vision as fast as enemy artillery ^e. The head-rests, therefore, of Army and Navy dental and barber rtairs are covered with disposable crepe paper caps. Nurses and doctors wear disposable paper uniforms when handling contagious cases. • Medical supplies are of the first importance in warfare. They must be packed properly to insure safe ar rival. For surgeons’ knives, there is a special long, narrow box with in erted rests that hold the knife in place. For drug ampules there are now variously c.rmpartmented boxes. For America’s parachute troops the paper manufacturers have devised a small, heat-resisting, fiber carton. Each carton contains a highly con centrated meal: three cartons con tain 3,311 calories or more than a plentiful day’s ration, yet three car tons weigh but a few ounces. When landing, the paratrooper may acci- - ^ntly crush the paper carton, but be won’t injure himself as he would ■ if the container were of metal. In the summer of 1940 the Army - ordered 35,000 cartons in which tp , (tore 40,000,000 surgical dressings re- f guested from the Red Cross. By 5t 1, 34,000,000 of the 40,000,000 igs were .available,- According ' Cross officials, they can now ften out 4J)00,000 dressings a month if needed. Cardboard contairrers and packing ttd' ne^diNl for blood plasma, The above letter has just been re ceived. The News-Journal is sent to a number of boys in Trinidad “gratis” every week, at the especial request of Lt. Paul Dickson but it seems that the boys who wrote this letter are on the Island Chacachacare and the paper didn’t get to them, but if it is possible to get it there, it is going from now on. We also suggest that Hoke county people get busy today and send these boys some mag azines. Address—Hoke County Boys, A. P. O. 803, Trinidad, B. W. I., Chacach acare. SCHOOL NEWS OF THEPmWEEK By K. A. MacDONALD On Tuesday night the Rockfish P.- T. A. held its^e^ar monthly mat ing with Mrs. Marshal Newtori, pres ident, presiding. After the business session the program was turned over to the teachers. The school then put on a patriotic program. A sex tet of ladies from the community helped by singing two numbers. One of the songs sung by the school was a patriotic song .written by Miss Cleo Wood, a niece of the Rocfish Woods. This song has been published and should become very popular. The program consisted of songs, a tableau, a pantomine, a flag, and a recitation. The diildren did their parts splen didly and every one present enjoyed it. The children were roundly ap plauded and the teachers praised for the entertainment. After the pro gram the ladies of the association had a social hour. They served de lightful refreshments during the hour, J. H. Hodgin, Jr., chairman of the Antioch school board, is a patient in the Veteran’s hospital in Fayetteville. It is hoped that he will soon be able to return to his home at Antioch. Last night the Educo Club held its regular monthly meeting at the high school and had as their guests the county board of education. At this time the board inspected the build ing and saw the advantages being of fered the boy.? and girls of Hoke county. The board held a short bus iness meeting during the course of the evening. consists of around seventy-five pu pils. The public is corffially invited. On last Monday the Raeford facul ty met at C^^e’s pond for their last faculty meeting of the year and en joyed a picnic supper. 'Die food con sumed was an indication of the en joyment everyone ha4 an unusually good time. The Jeanes supervisor, Jenevieve Foushee, attended the state negro teachers’ association in Greenrfjoro last week^ She was able to report 100 per cent membership for Hoke county and reported a very success ful meeting upon her return. STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER BY JOHN BARBEE The Bible has a definite message to every man and woman. We are re sponsible for this message whether we read it or not. Many folks know the issues set forth by the Bible only by hearsay. 'This is a prety risky business, for God is by far more con cerned that His word be closely ob served and obeyed than any draft board is concerned with its decisions or orders.' , In America we can buy a Bible for a fewcents, We can hear the gospel on streets, in churdies, jails, insti tutions, etc. Millions of gospel tracts are in circulation. Bible schools are abimdant Yet the ignorance of the great majority of our people con cerning the d3mamic issues of eter nal hell, sin, the death of Christ, and the new birth is appalling. We imagine that we have no time for reading the Bible. This is as log ical as a doctor’s nat having time enough to study his books of medi cine, or a lawyer’s not having enough time to study his books of law; it is their business to study their-books an.d know them. Most of us make time for whatever we really want to do. If we’re too busy to find what the BibJe has to say to us, we’re too busy. It is our supreme business as responsible to Almighty God to know what He says to us and demands of us. Herein rests our fate for time and eternity. INCREASE Since becoming a demonstration farmer in 1936, Wiley Perry of the Beaver Dam township in Watauga County has increased his income by $800 annually while expenses have increased only about $300. The Antioch P.-T. A. was to have held their regular monthly meeting last Thursday evening, but were pre vented from doing so by a bad storm. The Rockfish pre-school clinic whs held on last Wednesday. Mrs. Stewart’s class in piano will give their recital at Hoke high on the evening of Monday, April 27th, at 8:15 o’clock. Everyone is cordially invited. The county-wide negro P.-T. A. held its spring meeting at the White Oak school. The program included dinner on the grounds. All but 2 schools in the county were represent ed. The reports were very gratify ing. It was decided to hold fi«ct fall’s meeting at the Millside school. It was gratifying to those in charge that there were as many parents pres ent as were. Pearlie McDowell, of the Rockfish 6th grade is back in school, af^r hav ing undergone an appendectomy. Last Friday was seventh grade day at Hoke high. The seventh grades from all schools in the county come in to the high school 97 strong. They were given a big day by those in charge. They were sliown all the different departments of the school. They were given a band concert, had a free lunch in the cafeteria and were guests of the baseball team at the Lumberton game in the after noon. It is believed that all 97 had a good time and are anxious to en roll in high school next fall. On Thursday, April 9th, Hoke high met Laurinburg here on the local field. Laurinburg unleashed a 10-hit barrage and took'advantage of 8 Rae ford errors; to top the Hoke high nine by a score *of 17-1. Baseball came to Raeford again April 10th, when Rac' ford met Lumberton at the ball park. Eager for revenge, Raeford licked Lumberton by a shutout score of 10- 0. R. Currie pitched 4-hit ball for Raeford. On Tuesday, April 14th, Raeford played their last conference game here with Rockingham, fdthough Rockingham won by a score of 12-2, this game will not be counted against Hoke in the conference percentages as Rockingham played ineligible players. The First Aid class for colored teachers was completed on Wed nesday. 40 teachers finished this course and have been teaching it to their children as fast as they toofl it. Some of the men’s class have finished while others are still work ing to make up lessons missed. 35 have been enrolled in this class. A class for women has been started with 10 enrollments up to the pr®- ent. These classes are being taught by the Upchurch teachers who took the first teachers course taught by Dr. McCain, and the corps of teach ers organized by him.

The course in First Aid for high school students is being brought to a close. The students are reviewing and examinations will be given with in the next few days. The appre ciation of students and faculty is extended to Mesdames C. E. Up church, Sr., A. L. O’Briiint, and H. A. . Cameron for assisting the fac ulty in putting on this course in such a way that all pupils had the benefit of the course. This course being over the school will go back on regular schedule on next Monday including the lunch period. The numerous changes in schedule has been caused by the cooperation of the schools in the war effort. But so far as can be be seen now there will be no more changes for the year.
