# ,3 1 VOICE or IRECDOM tUMUAM OrUHKH ten cents per copy ^00 PEBTEAE New Draft Law Signed By Truman; Can Call Guard President Truman signed the new draft law Friday which leaves him unrestricted authority to order inductions resumed at any time. ' , The law, which runs until July 9, 1951, also empowers him to put the National Guard and the re serves on active duty any time he sees fit to do so. Males from 19 to 26 are sub jected to induction. When extension of the selective service law first came before Congress last spring, there was considerable doubi that the law makers would grant a continua tion. At the minimum, they want ed to jimit the President’s power to start inductions going again. But with the Communist inva sion of South Korea the picture changed swiftly. The revised measure, putting no strings on the President’s authority, clicked through with only four adverse votes in the House, and none in the Senate. 0^ National Guard Summer Training Getting Started Tb^d Artny Headquarters, At- : lanta—Some 50,000 Guardsmen of the seven southeastern states are packing their barracks bags and making fibal preparations for their annual-two weeks’ campments which will be held during the mpnths of July and August. ^ ^ ..

M. Stallings of the State Col lege Extension Service. The county agent explained that sunstroke follqws prolonged exposure to the sun, whereas heatstroke is caused by excessive heat with or without exposure to the sun. The effects are the same and either may be fatal. Symptoms are hot and dry skin, face red and flushed, breath ing hard and loud, pupils en larged, and, in some cases, un consciousness. Prevention is the best cure, Mr. Stallings said, but everyone should know what to do in case heat illness does strike. Here is what the National Safety Coun cil suggests for sunstroke or heatstroke: 1. Move patient to a cool, shady place, strip to the under clothes, lay on back with head and shoulders raised. 2. Apply ice or cold cloths to head,, cool the body gradually with* a cool bath or with a hose or wet clothes and rub limbs to ward the heart. 3. After treating for several minutes, stop and observe pat ient. If skin becomes hot again, resume treatment. 4. If patient is conscious, give cool drinks, not ice cold. Do not give stimulants. 5. Get patient to a doctor or a hospital as soon as possible. Con tinue the treatment in the ambu lance. In case of heat exhaustion, the patient’s skin is cold and clammy. A simple rule may serve as a guide and prevent confusion as (Conttaued on Pago t) Pictured above is the blue ribbon group oi Hoke County 4-H Club girls who took part in the County 4-H Dress Revue Contest.

The'dam at the power plant of the Raeford Power and Manufact uring company on Rockfish creek, “Lake Upchurch,” broke last Sun day night at about 11:00 o’clock. Assumption is that there was a seepage around the concrete near the center of the dam which un dermined the structure until it' gave away. About 50 feet of the dam, just about in the center of it and right beside the power house washed away when tbie water left and the concrete walkways and spillways which were there are now a mass of jumbled wreckage. All that remains of the large Spurred on by prizes offered by local businessmen. Person County farmers have started an all-out war against tobacco horn- worms, according to County Agent H. K. Sanders of the State College Extension Service. First step in the campaign, Sanders said is to destroy all plants remaining in tobacco beds. This practice will cut off an im portant source of food for all kinds of insects. Thd second step is to kiU tobac co moths or “tobacco flies”, as thfey are commonly called, before they, lay their eggs. “One good swat can kill a tobacco fly which might lay many, many eggs to hatch out into hornworms,” the county agent asserted. Three merchants in the county have offered a prize of $1 each to the person bringing in the largest number of dead moths before 4 p. m. each Saturday. Another merchant and the Rox- boro Chamber of Commerce have offered $10 each as season prizes. Sanders said some farmers destroy the moths by putting (Continued on page i) school and the New York Univer sity school of retailing.

Thad Lowder, who came to the Raeford store from Aberdeen February 1 when Irving Hubbard left, returned to the Collins store in Aberdeen when Draughon ar rived. .9" Farmers Show More Interest In Geese While commerical production of geese is hot pratciced to any great extent at present, many North Carolina farmers are show ing increasing interest in this fowl, says R. S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State College. Dearstyne says his departrnent in recent weeks has received correspondence concerning geese from all sections of the State. This awakening interest, he add ed, may lead to a new infant in dustry in North Carolina. Geese usually are raised in small numbers on general farms. They are very hardy and quite resistant to ’ disease. Since they are good foragers dnd thrive on pastures, their dietary require ments are easily met. The birds commonly are known as “hoe hands” because they are extremely useful in clearing up the rows in cotton patches. The diet may be supplemented with home-grown grains or wet mash. Dearstyne says a gander may be mated with one to four geese but pair or trio mating usually give the best results. Nests for geese are provided in boxes, or barrels on range or in the house. The natural method of incubation is used on farms when three to seven eg|s are set under a hen or 10 to 15 under a goose. 'ITie period of incubation varies from 20 days in the smaller breeds to about 35 days In the larger breeds. stumps with a little stream mean dering through it. Camp Tom Up church is somewhat farther from the water t^an it was, and the piers are high and dry, but the boys are finding the swimming in the race a little colder but just as much fun as the lake was. The company intends to rebuild the dam at once and expects to complete it by September 1. Cost is estimated at about '$15,000. BqU Weevils Win ; Plaj Here Today I ' The Raeford Boll Weevils, Rae- ford’s aspiring under - 15-year- old baseball team, Virent to Eliza bethtown last Friday afternoon and got themselves a little revenge behind errorless play and the tight pitching of Talmadge Harding.

Shooting At Antioch Sunday Afternoon Last Sunday afternoon Joe Mack. 22, shot Bennie Lee De Berry, 21, in the groin with a 12- gauge shotgun. Both are colored and the affair occurred at Mack’s home on the McPhaul place in the Antioch section. DeBerry was first taken to a Maxton physician and later to the Scotland county hospital. The boys said the shooting was acci dental, that they were “playing cowhby” when DeBerry was shot. Sheriff D. H. Hodgin was appar ently a little dubious about this when he investigated, as he char ged Mack with assault with a deadly weapon. He is under a bond of $50#. 0 TOWN WATER SHORT Local Boys At Scout Jamboree In Pennsylvaiiia Raeford Scouts Spending Seven Days With 50,000 Others At Valley Forge Twenty-five Scouts of the West ern district of the Cape Fear .Area council, left Hoke and Scotland counties Mo'nday morning of last week for Wilmington where they: entrained for Valley Forge, Pa., and the long-awaited National Jamboree. Raeford Scouts were taken to. Wilm.ington by Lawrence McNeill. Those attending from here are Lawrence McNeill. Jr., C. J. Ben ner. Jr., and Ernest Hair. The boys left Wilm.ington on two special trains Monday at 6:50 p. m. and arrived at Vgiley Forge Tuesday at noon. On the return trip they, will leave' Valley Forge on July 7 and will be in Wil mington by 7:30 a. m.. Saturday, July 8. The first part of the week was spent getting the camp sites in order and a pre-opening period of training. The official opening was on Friday nighl when President Truman spoke to the huge group of Boy Scouts which includes boys from 14 countries other than the United States. While at Valley Forge, these Scouts will see some of the first shrines of the birth of America, the Liberty bell and Independence hall in Philadelphia. They will see replicas of crude huts and other evidences of hard^ps home by the men who first de fended the nation in Valley Forge National park. Beginning with the impressive torchlight ceremony officially opening the Jamboree, every Scout will have seven busy days. There will be displays and pagen- try in the huge natural arena, which is capable of holding 50,000 spectators. There will be a guid ed tour of Philadelphia’s historic landmarks and a huge evening show to celebrate Independence day, capped with a fireworks dis play. There will be demonstra tions and displays by troops an^* when one is outstanding* a spaclal flag will be run up so no ona :1U miss it.

Religious services for all faiths were held and Sunday, July 2. there was a grand convocation in the evening to memorialize the brotherhood of Scouting and the twelfth Scout law. The Jamboree also has its prac tical side. Scouts learn how to improve their Scout craft; how to make better camp and cooking fires: how to make packs, useful gadgets and camp furniture; how to get more enjoyment and com fort out of the basic materials which nature provides. The jsunboree is designed to improve the quality of the boys’ scouting, to deepen his apprecia tion of his national heritage and to broaden his spiritual ideals. Each Scout is ^ responsible for his own cooking and must keep his own camp site in order and in every way be self-sufficient. Each patrol is a completely in tegrated unit and the Jamboree as a whole is a city unto itself wi^h a posteffice and all other administrative details whidi go to make up a city. —0 UPCHURCH IN TEXAS Sterr McMlIlftn said yesterday that the aaviply of water will be short for the next few days, as one of the two pumps is broken down.
