Decrease Last Month twin i mnu4if f W TmVtii yfcn.fogtai :MtmUj& HALE1GH, - - There was 40.9 per edit less rural t.'atfic on North Caro l.na highway;. Baring March than in Mirch, 1U41, aceoiding to figures re leased by the department of statistics and planning of the state highway department. Daring January ir.A Fcbrurry, rural tran',0 was o:f f. ?m 35 to 37 per cent. It is expected to increase during the summer months, however. The New Bern area was the only one that showed an increase last month. It amounted to 17.3 per cent mure than in March, 1941, and was attributed to the heavy flow of war mnterials and army personel. The largest decrease 60.8 per cent was shown in the area northeast of Fay-tltei!!e. The Natural Side Dresser Over 500.000 tons of Chilean Sol have been brought in for this year's crop. More is expected in time for side dressing, but there are distribution complications. The War Production Board and the War Food Administra tion control distribution of all nitrogen supplies under an allocation program. Principally, this program takes into account three things; (1) total supply of nitrogen products; (2) their respective locations end capacities; (3) crop requirements. So, if Chilean Soda happens to be scarce in your section, it is a war-time dislocation a temporary scarcity. If you haven't been able to get the Chilean Soda you need for top drouing and side dressing, don't blame your fertiliser man. Put the blame where it belongs ... on Hitler and Hirohito. A vast supply of natural soda is right where nature put it in Chile. Large quantities are ready for shipment Every possible ton of this vital material is being brought here in time for this year's crops. j FOR COMMISSIONER j I hereby announce my candidacy j for the Board of Commissioners of : Hoke Cuunty subject to the Demo : cra'.ic Primary of May 27th. 1 will appreciate your vote and you sup port.

Attorney-at-Law Seen, Said and Surmised By Mary Vaurhan We know and the world knows now thnt the American hoys arc the best soldiers in this, or any other war they have fought. Even the nuu'hined-drilled German troops ad mit it, so you knmv it must be true. Here is a deed of galainlry of one of our men which was sent to me by the Public Relations oiiice of the Army Air Forces Technical Train ing Command, Greensboro. WITHOI T THOI GUT OR NEED OK COMMAND Oi all the barbers at the AAF T.aning Command's Basic Training Center No. 10 here. Joseph O. Goble of (915 Spring Garden St.) Greens boro, formerly of State.-ville, has the urost to talk about, yet talks the least. For Goble wears the Silver Star for 'conspicuous gallantry and intrepidy of action" against the enemy. And he wears the Purple Heart. He was with the second wave of Marines that swept ashore at Quadal canal in September, 1942, to break the crest of the Japanese counter-attack and to turn the tide of the war in the South. Pacific. And a shattered ielt leg suffered in that fray forced him to accept a mojical discharge from the service two months ago. It takes a great deal longer to draw that story out of Goblp than j seven minutes it requires rum 10 shear a GI's locks. Reluctantly, he will show the citation signed by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox that accompanied the award to him of the Silver Star, October 9. 1942. The story it tells, he maintains, ap plies more to the Marine as a force than to any one man. The citation reads: "Perceiving that his (Goble's) company was receiving heavy enemy liioriar hud machine gi v. fire from a wooJe.i di.tw to the uht of his position and disregarding hi.- own per sonal safety, stood t;p on a bare ridge, in tie face of enemy fire and direeV.i the fire ol the rille grena diers of his platoon upon enemy positions. ..As a result the hostile fire from this position was silenced. Later during the same action, while under the lire of hostile forces in the vic inity, disregarding his own personal safety, Sergeant Goble rushed for ward across an area swept by enemy fire and removed to the place of safety a seriously wounded marine, during which action he himself was wounded." The SS.year-nld veteran declares that "the fellows" did those things when they had to be done, "without a though or need for a command." Gohle's regirrent went into the jungles on skirmishes and patrol duty. And for 20 solid days and nights it got little rest. The only rest, in fart, that Goble got was on a streUther that carried him back to a landing barge when his outfit was relieved. One story he tells t'escrbieds the fluidity and treachery of the jungle battlefronl. It was night "when you keep in file by touching the man ahead of you." "Two .lap slipped into our file and marched for a mile with us. They tried to find our officers and bayonet trfm. But one Marine smel ted te Jap and let him have it with a bayonet. The other got away," the ex-marine relate:. Goble returned to the United States late in 1942 an dless than a year afterwards was married to the Use Poisoned Bran Mash For Cutworms Cutworms, attacking garden vege tables and other crops, can be slioy ed thiough the use of a poisoned bran mash, says J. Myron Maxwell, in charge of Extension entomology at N. C. State College. Cutworms are the young of a brtv, or tan moth which deposited egVai in the weeds and grass last fall. Aa soon as the soil warms up in the spring, the worms become active and feed on whatever vegetable is available. They are now attacking cabbage, broccoli, lehiee, and tomato ulanls in the early gardens. They also at tack radishes, peas, beans, and other crops. Maxwell suggests that the victory gardener prepare the fol lowing mash: 5 pounds of wheat bran, one-quarter pound of Paris green, and 3 to 4 pints of water. The bran and Paris green should be mix ed together dry. Moisten with wa ter and stir thoroughly until alt flakes are moistened. "Do not upe any more water than is necessary in moistening th flakes of braa. The mixture shjuid not be sloppy," Maxwell sayr He recommends that the bait he spread over the garden in late after noon so that it falls in flakes. Ex perience shows that this is better than putting the bait in piles. Only one application is necessary. girl who waited for him the former Katheryn Feme Dagenhart of Statcs ville, a nurse.
