Activities The Past
Week At Local
Soldiers’ Center
Y” -IITI ..-W- ■
Soldiers’ Cebter is nOW equipped
with a Frigidaire and dish cabinet,
making it possible to keep the fruits,
sandwiches, and other perishables
which are brought in for the sol
diers.
$me '^pd^le are asking why re
freshments dre smred there. Itisb^
cause true Southern hospitality has
«ver been aocompanied by food and
f drink. Those things served by
women seem like a touch of home to
those boys, ev«x though they do have
good food at Brags.
A small infozmal dance was held
at the armory and refrediments were
erved at the center the Fourth of
' July, but the biggest and best dance
(gras that of last night. Lt. Ed Caiber-
ii.vry brought over his boys and an or
chestra and they had a great time.
The girls aU wore formal evening
.clolhes.
Of course^the public understands
that it takes money to run this Sol
diefs’ Center. There have been con
tributions from the town and county,
civic clubs, business firms and indi
viduals, but funds are running low
now. y
Fruits, cooKies, s^dwiches, candy,
•etc., will be appreciated. The beau-
tifid flowers which Mr. Sexton takes
doivm every week add much to make
the place look Attractive.

Hdie War Bmd
Quota Jumped
To $19,000
Hoke county will be called on for
purchases of $19,000 in war bonds
and Stamps for the nuHith of July, it
was stated by. Laiwrence McNei}l,
county bcHid connnittee hainnan.
Mr. McNeill states that this repre
sents approximately a fifty per cent
increase over the $12,600 quota for
June.
In announcing the quota for July
Mr. McNeill stated that the county
again went well over the top in pur
chases in June, citizens having pur
chased $15,396 worth of bonds and
stamps. During May, when the quota
drive was first started, the coimty,
with a quota of $8,300 bought $19,-
986 worth.
At a special meeting of the War
Bonds and Stamp sales committee
held last Thursday night, Mr. Mc
Neill praised the citizens for their
cooperation in this drive and added
that he had no fear but that this
quota would again be oversubscribed.

Speaking before the Kiwanis Club
last Thursday, Tom Cameron, for the
past several years one of the Troop
Committee which supervises the ac
tivities of the local Boy Scout troop,
told of the activities of the organiza
tion here and read a letter on the
activities of the Cape Fear Council.
-Mr. Cameron, now a scoutmaster
of the Raeford troop, stated that in
the history of Scouting here, many
boys had attained the Eagle ■ rank,
hipest rating in the organization.
And, he said, all of them are doing
exceptionally fine work as citizens.
He told the club that perhaps the fi
nest civic work it had done in its en
tire life was the sponsorfeip of the
scout troop and he urged that the
two groups cooperate more closely
in their activities.
The' letter which Mr. Cameron
read was from Scout Executive Da
vid Liles, of the Cape Fear Area
Council. This letter gives in brief
form many interesting facts concern
ing the troup and Council work and
it is reproduced, in part, in the fol
lowing paragraphs:
Dear Mr. Cameron: The following
is the information you asked me to
s^d you about the setup of scouting
in the Cape Fear Area.
'The Caipe Fear Area Council is
made up of nine counties. These
counties are grouped into six dis
tricts. namely Wilmington, Fayette
ville, Lumberton, Bladen, ^ufe Cen
tral and Western of whife Raeford is
a part. The entire Cajpe Fear Area
is the Council, but in order to make
scouting more effective we have the
above district setup.
The Council as a whole has a board
oj. directors called fee , Executive
Board. This board is made up of

Scrap Rubber
Collected Here
In collecting well over 60,000 lbs.
of scrap rubber in the campaigi
which closed Friday, Hoke county
citizens put over anofeer war drive
in a realty big way, according to
Neiil A. McDimald, rubber salvage
campaign chairman.
The rubber is new awaiting ship
ment to a processing company where
it is to be separated from the cord
bind^s and other foreign' material
and then sent to manufacturers for
use on wartime products. Mr. Mc
Donald states feat he expects two
freight cars will be required to car
ry fee shipment and that fee total
weifet may reach as high as 65,000
pounds or nearly four pounds of scrap
per person in the county.

Each district has d board of direc
tors called a District Oonunittee and
this connnittee is headed by a district
dhairinan.’'* The six operatinig com
mittees on the district cin^ttee are
members of the council operating
committees of fee same name. For
instance Mr. H. C. McLaughlin is fi
nance chairman of the Western Dis-
trict and^ is on the council finance
committee.
The various operating committees
are dhatged with certain responsi
bilities and are assisted in their work
by the executive staff. The Organi

me^^'under healfeful and safe condi

mote camp attendance and passes on
any unusual request for scout ser
vice. The Comt of Honor Commit

scouts hare an opportunity to advance
in rank arid also see that the stan
dards of sciMit advancement, are up
held In other words, the first class
scout in Raeford feould mean the
same as a first rtass scout in New

The Finance Cimunittee is charged

Starting today and continuing im-
til July 25, local •merchants will fea
ture broilers and fryers as a Victory
Food Special. This is the fourth Vic
tory Food Special to be featured in
this area.
Speaking of the success of the pre
vious .‘Special,-’ A. S. Knowles,
county farm agent, said: “I^)cal
homemakers and storekeepers ^e to
be congratulated for fee splendid co
operation they have ^ven the gov
ernment in the promotion of Victoiy
Food Specials. When we increase the
consumption of farm products that
are in abundance, we are all helping
the war effort. By eating health-
•building foods we are not only mak
ing America strong but we also are
assisting farmers by buying feeir pro
ducts feat are in a temporary abun
dance.
“Victory Food Special on broilers
aiMF fryers will give clever house
wives the opportunity to serve one
of America’s favorite foods wifeoul:
stretching the family budget,” Mr.
Knowles continued. “Here are some
table tips on broilers and fryers
which come from the Bureau of
Home Economics, USDA:
‘Ordinarily, you’ll buy chickens to
fry or broil by their dressed weight.
This is the weight of fee chicken
picked but not drawn and including
head and feet. The wei^t of a
drawn chicken is about three-fourths
that of a dressed chicken. Best chick
ens for table use are well-rounded—
short and stocky rather than rangy.
All bones are well-covered wife
flesh so that the chicken has a meaty
look.
‘Because chicken is a perishable
food-;-keep it cold when it is raw,
Eat it quickly after it is cooked. Chill
it right away if you don’t intend to
eat it at once. When you bring chick
en home from the store, wash it thor-
AUghty-iBsictemd-ettt, ptit-it dry, store
it in your coldest storage place imtil
you cook it. If you'have no very
cold storage place do not attempt to
keep chicken long—either before or
after you cook it.’ ”
