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. With an ini-
^.tlal goal of 200,000 pounds for the
^ one-day drive, the campaign resulted
in a month’s collection activity and
brought in well over a million pounds,.
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. Ap
proximately 70,006 pounds of rubber
have been collected.
Serving with Mr. MCGoogan will
be the following persons:' Sain Me-*

Draft Call
All sorts of wild rumors are afloa
about Govemmmit allotments to be
made by the Government to soldiers’
dependents. 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

Washington, Aug. 5—National Se-
lecitive Service headquarters today in
cluded in the August call an
imdisclosed quota of 1-B registrants—
men with minor physical defects—
probably laying the ground wwk for
wi^spread use of such draftees to
replace physically fit mai for active
duty.
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.

North Carolina, but often mentiOMd

a geneology of the Ray exiles, who
were shipped across to'' 1748 and
1749, eitherefive or six broth

Gilbert and perhaps Malcolm and
Angus, or Malcolm and ‘Neill (not

1 am intruding on your good na
ture to ask you what you know of
Mr. Fairley Ray, of Wagwm, who
his people were, and so on. I have
written him several letters of in
quiry and seat postage, and cw’t
yet get a reply from him. I believe
he cotfiea from the Galatia Ohur^
area among Ay relatives, but I can
not get him to Identify himself among
the hundrA^ Of Rays place'd and
named during tiie past toree years.
Jerhaps you kftOw something, too,
of “John of RichAOnd,” wh'O died
in 1808 or 1811 (Cumberlanl coimty
