FIGHTING MEN DESIRE BOOKS Wendell Willkie Says Lone* some Soldiers Want Lively Books Most of All New York, Feb. 14.—Ameri cans were urged today by Wendell Willkie to fill a pressing need for books to be sent to their fight ing men all over the world. In a letter received at National Campaign headquarters of the 1943 Victory Book campaign, in the Empire State building, i New York, Mr. Willkie painted a graphic picture of the eagerness with which he saw the men in the armed services on his recent tour look forward to a session with a good book. Said Mr. Willkie: “1 saw American soldiers at the Battle of Alamein. I saw them in camps and barracks about Cairo and other detachments through out the Middle East. I saw Am ericans in Russia and China. 1 had long talks with General Chenault's boys. Every place I found homesickness and1 ev’ery place they were lonesome. After all, they are in strange countries. They don’t know the language fcnd there is not much for them to do. A good book—a lively book is one of the things that these boys want most of all. “I am sure that Americans here on the homefront will be on ly too glad to support the 1943 Victory Book campaign and that the book or books they contribute will not be the bad eggs from their shelves, but the best ones.” Methodist Layman’s Day February 21st.

SHOES—Stamp No. 17 of Ra I tion Book No 1 good for pur chase of one pair of shoes through j period endiag Jum It. Expect To Be In New Home By March 1st. After a period of thirty one (31) years in our present location we are compelled to move to larger quarters. We have not been on the front street for 31 years, have only been here 22 years, but we were in the rear ff this building, known as the Hou ser building, erected by the late Dr. W. H. Houser and Melville L. Rudisill, in the rear 1912. The room at the rear was built around the !>ig Cylinder Press which rhe Eagle was printed on, we have a later model now. rhe Post Office was located in the front of this building and the people will remem ber A. H. Huss was Post master at that time who was succeeded by J. B. Houser, Sr. When the govern ment moved the Poet Office to its present location in 1921, we made a door through the wall and moved to the front and have been here ever since. Naturally, it seems like home to us, as we were practically raised in the Printing Office, and we are sorry to leave. Our first land lord was Uncle Mel Rudisill and of course, we, like every one else, got along splendidly with Mr. Rudisill. He and my father, the late L. H. J. Houser were good friends and were both members of the St. John’s Lutheran church. At his death, his daughter, Mrs. Julia R. Hall was given charge of the building and the people of this commun ity, who know Mrs. Hall are aware of the fact that we al ways got along fine with her, and we can truthfully say, that if you need a build ing, rent one from Mrs. Hall and we will guarantee that you will never have any trouble with her, so long as vou pay the rent. For the 31 years we have been a renter of her build ing, we are sure of the fact that she never had to ask us for the rent, but one time during these many years, and that was during the de pression, and we just did non have it, but we managed to get it for her and after that in some way or another we have always been able to pay her each month as the rent came due. NtW BUILDING lO HAVE MORE ROOM Our new building which is owned by Mr C. C. Sipc, formerly occupied by the Kester - Groome Furniture Company and located on East Main Street between the Peoples Dry Cleaners and Dr. J. W. Payne Office is 5 1-2 feet wider and 8 feet longer which will give us approximately 600 more square feet and of course will enable us to do better and more efficient Job Print ing and will help us give our customers quicker service on short notice. In our new home we hope to be able to edit a much better news paper and mail it earlier so our boys in the service may get it on time. Our circula tion in the past twelve Se* CAGLE p»i« 8
