The Hoke County “Junk Rally’* novf being planned by the County &lvage Committee will be one Of the bigges'; ^events of the sort in the county, i' - was claimed yesterday by members of the committee directing the event “The folk of Hoke County are reaUy going to honor their boys in the armed forces,” stated John A. McGoogan, chairman of the commit kVee. “We started this scrap salvage oampaign last fall and the whole na tion is following Hoke County’s ex ample. Now we are planning to give them another big goal to shoot at.” A big bulletin board will be Mected next week, which will contain the names of all men from the county now serving with the armed forces the salvage committee will make an effort to secure at least 1,006 pounds of scrap for each man whose name is on the board. Selei^ve Serv ice Chairman T. B. Lester states that there are approximately 400 men from Hoke now serving in military outfits. To secure 1,000 pounds of scrap for each of, these men will mean that the county will have to scoured dean of all types of scrap metals to raise the 400,000 pounds whidi is the quota,for the drive to be conducted the week of August 2110,2?., . ^ Should this goal be obtained, it was stated that the epunty .wjB have Salvaged'Over 2,000,000' pounds of scrap metalf since the initial drive :5V^ started last DecemfeeriJ9ohe, at. time, inaugurated the “Scrap the Japs with Scrap” campaign which has f .since swept the nation.

Since then there has peen a con- stant'Stream of vehicles leading from _all sections of the ebunty to “Red” '^Scarborouidi’s junk yard and over a f million and a half pounds of scrap metals have been sold by Hoke farm ers through the local junk yard. For the duration of the war a permanent salvage committee will serve the county and each cotton gin in the eoUAty will serve as a junk coUectiott center. • For rubber scrap the filling stations of the county will continue to coRect this material as during the recent campaign.

Here are some things to remember: Government allowance applies only to the dependents of the four lowest ranks in Service—^Private, Private First Class, Corporal and Sergeant, 3rd class. And families of these classes will not get any allowaMC unless the Soldier makes application for it in behlf of his family and pay at least $22.00 per month from his own salary to the aid of his family. If the soldier makes application to his commanding officer for the gov emment allowance and also agrees to have the government deduct $22.0* i from bis payroll, then his dependents will receive government allowance according to this schedule: Wife, no child $28,00 Wife, one child $40.00 Each additional child $10.00 One parent - ’....’$15,00 Two parents $25.00 Brother, sister or grandchild ....$ 5.00 With the soldier’s $22.00 thk will make about $50.00 coming into the homes of many soldiers. Parents should write at once to their sons in the Army and Navy urging them to qualify by application for the al lotment. In case they do not know the address of the soldier then they may write to Adjutant General’s Of fice, War Deparfanent, Washington, D, C,, a^ng that the War Depart ment cail upon Local Cross to aid in making* application. ..„In, no case cfjn Red.

Although this is the first nation wide call for 1-B’s, the ^my has inducted many of them in 'small- scale experimentf and foimd them us^ in light mannual and clerical tasHls, „ ^ Officials estimated that about 1,- 000,000 men of military age s»n will be classified as 1-B, providing a huge reservoir for limited military duty. Boards Advised. National headquarters instructed local boards to include .in the first rail men not previously accepted be cause of defective teetii. Bad teeth caused some 13 percwit of 1-B classifications, topped only by defective eyes which caused 15 per cent. Others were hernia, %12 per cent; venereal diseases, 11 per cent; mus culoskeletal, nine per cent; feet, six per cent Heart and blood-pressure, four per cent; mental and nervous, three per cent; ear and lungs, two per cent each. The remaining 23 per cent were taken up by dozens of other minor physical defects. Only those 1-B’s with positive sero logical reports of veneral diseases are definitely excluded from induction for limited tasks.
