They could not have been prepared for this wmrk except for the train ing received from NYA, in high school, and particularly in the com mercial department. W.

PLEDGE TO VICTORY! J. W. Dowd and his Ftutre Farm ers of America are in camp at White Liake this week. We hope to have a more detailed account of their activi ties in next week’s news. For the past two summers the Raeford chapter of the Future Farmers received the cup awarded to the chapter that made the best camp record in work, sports, athletics, etc. We hope our boys will be able to repeat again this year. All available teachers assisted the local rationing board to ration sugar for canning on Tuesday at the Rae ford graded school. All teachers in the county will be called on to assist the ration board to put on the second gasoline regis tration July 1, 2, and 3. W© feel sure that they will respond as cheer fully this time as they have done dur ing previous registrations. Mr. and Mrs. V. R. White are in summer school at Wake Forest. Mr. White is doing work on his master’s ^degree. Mr. White expects to be in town* over most weekends. W. S. Morgan, principal of the Mil-i douson school, is an inspector work- ‘ing out of the chief inspector’s office :slt the new Maxton airport. The sdiool canning plant for the •county, located at the Raeford grad- •ed school is getting off to a good 4Btart imder the supervision of Mrs. Jennie Smith. To date 976 quarts of beans and 51 quarts of beets have been canned. The school gardens are doing well and an abundance of pro duce for canning is expected if the good seasons hold. The land planted to beans has been re-set in toma toes. BJrs. Smith expects to have fresh tomato^ to serve in the lunch ■rooms next fall. Peas and coUards ■teve been planted also. All schools iin the county are co-operating in .‘gardening and canning. It is with regret that we aimounce the resignation from the Antioch school committee of James L. Mc- Wiaul, who has served that school ^thfuUy for the past leevral years. •Mr. McPhaul has moved to Red 'Springs. We regret losing his ser- •vices to the schools very much and r^et his leaving the county. The high school auditorium was used last Friday night for a civilian defense’ and patriotic rally. The school band, directed by R. D. Huff, Jr., a member of the bcmd, furnished the music for the occasion. The ■director, Mrs. Bruce January, was sick. Junior did an excellent job and everyone enjoyed the music, al though they were short about fifteen joieces. .body of Red wine, which was foimd floating about a half a mile from his ship. His shipmates believed he was hurled overboard by the explo sion of the torpedo. A breathless hush fell over the throng of bathers and pleasure seek ers as Redwine’s body, covered with oil, was removed from the surfboat and carried to the coast guard sta tion. Redwine’s 45 shipmates had aban doned the ship in three lifeboats shortly after a single torpedo tore into their vessel’s starboard side for ward of the amidship house. After rowing part of the six miles to shore, they were picked up by a patrol boat and landed several miles down the beach. The lifeboats were towed ashore by a coast guard surfboat. From the time of the first attack, which occurred shortly after 5 p. m., until late last night, thousands of per sons lined the beach and watched the planes, blimp and surface craft pur sue their grim game of hide and seek, with the enemy raider. First engineer A. W. Brown of Philadelphia told newsmen in an in terview granted by the navy this morning that the ship was armed, but that the gun crew had no op portunity for a shot at the subma rine as it remained submerged throughout the attack. Capt. Martin Johansen of Drexel Park, Pa., and two crewmen re- boarded their ship to. search for Red- wine after a check of the men in tions. Over 250 visited the club and were entertained there last week. Jess Baucom gave another much needed card table and the Upchurch Milling and Storap& company is plan ning a folding piflg pong table. Many flowers, pecans, and magazines were sent in. Anyone willing to take one or more boys for the weekend, pleas© notify someone at the Soldiers’ Center. Two Ships Sunk As Beach Crowd Watches 'The fierce battle of the Atlantic has moved to the very edges of United l^tates shores, the navy re ported Tuesday night in disclosing that a submarine boldly torpedoed two American merchant ships within sight bf thdiiiands of vacationers at a 'Virginia beadi resort. One of tho vessels went to the bottom in the twin attack Tuesday, bringing the announced toll of sink ings in Atlantic and adjacent waters to 272. Earlier Wednesday 30 surviv ors of a medium-sized United States ship were landed at a Gulf port. The spellbound Virginia tourists watched a vivid demonstration of of- fensFve | warfare,, too, as bombing planes and a navy blimp soared over the area in search of the undersea raider. As a half-dozen surface ships joined in the attack, bombs and depth charges sent geysers of water shooting skyward. Soldiers, sailors, and coast guards men quickly cleared the resort beach es and forced back crowds as a surf boat brought ashore one body and three empty lifeboats. 'Hie .victim was Rubin Redwine of Philadelphia, second assistant engineer aboard one of the torpedoed ships. The Gulf sinking was the second after two wedcs of clear sailing in that area. Fourteen seamen were killed, including four members of a naval crew who perished at their guns. RESORTERS STARE SPELLBOUND AS DARING RAIDER ATTAUKS Norfolk, Va., June 16.—An enemy submarine torpedoed two large Am- ’id " ★ Wkai yo4€ WUk WAR BONDS ★ ★ The Garand semi-automatic rifle, which is the standard issue today for the U. S. army, is superior to the old Springfield rifle in many re spects. We literally need millions of these fast shooting powerful rifles to equip our army. They cost $85 each and are being manufactured at the rate of one a minute. They fire sixty 30-calibre shells a minute. Every one of the 40,000^000 enS^ ployed persons in America bould ^35?^ buy one of these rifles for the armiy. Not that we need that many, but the reserve could go into shells and other much needed supplies. Buy more and more War Bonds and top the quota in your county by in vesting at least ten percent of your income every pay day. Activities At Tlie Soldiers’ Cmter Tlw Soldiers’ Center in Raeford continues to grow in popularity. It has become so popular with the sol diers and their wives that anodier hostess has been added. Miss Flora Boyce joins Mrs. J. W. Currie this weekend. It is needless to say that these two cultured and gracious women will fiu the job to the satis faction of all. Aside from the callers several de lightful affairs were held at the cen ter the past weekend. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Kate Blue Covington assisted Mrs. Currie m entertaining at cards. Sixteen wiww'of enlisted men and non-com- nuuioned officers accepted the invi tation. After an enthusiastic game a'Club was formed by these women to meet at the center each week hostessse at the center will make all arrangements, club members only paying for refreshments. So many soldiers came in Saturday afternoon and evening that the hos tesses took them to the armory where they danced until about midnight Sunday afternoon Mrs. H. C.

As they were on the way to shore. Brown related, “We saw another mer chant ship torpedoed. The torpedo hit her at her rudder* it didn’t do much damage, but it put her out of commission. Her crew remained aboard.” Newsmen were not permitted to interview crewmen of the second ship, but her master, Capt. Eric Rob ert Blomquist of Severn, Md., told naval officers that he and his crew did not abandon ship because there was no damage forward or amidships. Major damage consisted of a broke rudder, smashed fuel lines, and bat tered pumps. Flooding was limited to the after peak, where leakage re sulted from the shock. Dependent Aid Bill Approved contributions to dependents, also awaits President Roosevelt;^ sigh%- ture. The dependents’ allotment bill wf intended primarily to^ovide assis tance to the depend^ts of service men of the lower pay grades, up to line seregants in the army and petty officers in the navy. It was amended in the Senate to make a sweeping change in the draft status of family men. This amendment, finally approved by both branches after conference gives the President authority, through the selective service system, to defer men having wives or children with whom they maintain a bona fide fam ily relationship in their homes. Here tofore, married men with dependents have been deferred on financial grounds. The new legislation, while recog nizing the financial aspects of depend ency, permits deferment of family heads primarily because of their Hom ily status. ' \ Washington, June 16.—A bill mak ing financial provision for soldiers’ and sailors’ dependents and stating a congressional policy that the selec tive service should “not break up the institution of the home” was pass ed today by the House and sent to the White House.

The navy had no comment as to the fate of the submarine in an nouncing th© twin attack today. Only one man was killed in the tor- pedoings, which occurred about 30 minutes apart. He was Rubin Red- wine of Philadelphia, second assis tant engineer aboard one of the ships. There were 46 in the crew of the vessel and 62 in the crew of the other.
