enrolled, so stated Mrs. H. A. Cam
eron Chairman. The Regular Red

the membership roll (if a member
of an enrolled elementary sdhool
group) or to receive a membership
card (if a member of an enrolled
high school group.) No individual
membership fee is required. It is
lexpected that the pupil’s participa
tion in some service activity during
the school year will follow, and just
ify his membership in the Junior Red
Cross.
The American Junior Red Cross,
as a division of membership of the
American RedCross, has a member
ship period of one year the calendae
year. All services and privileges of
membership are available to mem
bers for the period in which schools
are in one session during the calendar

Library News
“Book Week this year finds us wag
ing a war to the death against a brute
foe who knows that if truth, beauty
and decency are to be stamped from
the eafth, they must first be destroy-,
ed in the minds of children.
Books can transport them into
places and times remote )from the
grim present, can give them the com
plete relaxation the growing mind
so badly needs.
Books bring inspiration, too. For
in them can be found the! stories of
past struggles to make men free.
They are the best means by which
We can teach children why we fight
and for what we fight.
And so the foe we face began his
war against us by burning books.
But, children who are taught to love
books and to look to them for friend
ship, comfort and guidance, will be
armed with knowledge to oppose the
forces of destruction, present and
future.”
Book Week will be observed from
November 15th to 21st this year, and
the slogan is “Forward With Books.”

Raleigh, Nov. 4.—United States
Senator Josiah M. Bailey, renamed

“This is a two-party natk'H. It al
ways has been and always will be.”
Americans, he said, could expect
the balance of power to ebb mid flow
for time to come.
Bailey defeated his Republican

Local Man Fined
For Transfering
Fort Bragg Pa»
T. Colon Scarborough, local Scrap
dealer, had been awarded the con
tract for Scrap at Fort Bragg. He
was first sent to the Adjutant Gen
eral, then to the M. P. where he was
issued a Pass which he was to use ev
ery time he entered the Post. Sidney
Epstein was working for Scarborogh,
hauling the Scrap. So Scarborough
says he thought the Pass was issued
to him for his business and that of
course a man in his employ could go
in on it. He therefore gave it to Ep-
steen to use when he went to the
Post to haul the Scrap, and it was in
this capacity that Epsteen was at
tempting to enter the Post with Scar-
boro’s Pass. Scarboro was arrested
by Military police and convicted by
U. S. Commissioner Downing of il
legal entry to the Fort Bragg reser
vation. He was required to pay $50
or serve 60 days in jail. He pa^ the
fine. He also warns his friends that
everyone who enters Bragg now must
have a pass and there’s no joking
about at.
