High School Boys
Final Opportunity
Hundreds of young men gradu
ating from North Carolina high
schools will have their final oppor
tunity within the next two months
to volunteer for military service
before they become subject to call
by Selective Service.
Tliis reminder was given yes
terday by Lieutenant Cumnrtmder
C. R. Neely of Raleigh, officer in
charge of recruiting and induc
tion for tlie Navy in North Caro
lina, after reviewing lists of 17
year old hoys who will soon com
plete their high school career.
"Those young men who have
been fortunate enough to com
plete school before having to reg
ister with Selective Service will do
well to apply for enlistment in the
Navy before it is too late," Com
mander Neely said. “High school
graduates have a splendid oppor
tunity to further their education
by selecting the Navy with its
more than hi) trade schools offer
ing diverse occupations.
"Development of craftsmen is a
major function of the Navy and
thousands of North Carolinians
already are serving their country
and at the same time being train
ed in an occupation which will
stand them in good stea after the
war is over.
“With the closing of schools
within the next few weeks we ex
pect a sharp rise in enlistment of
young men who prefer the Navy.
Recruiter D. R. Taylor of the
Charlotte station will lie glad to

velous progress we have made!
in Public Education is equaled on
ly by the task of tomorrow in that i
field. The cultural and social stun- i
dard of our people has been great- I
ly advanced by public education
and it must continue to lead the
But by public education alone,
we may attain a high cultural and
social order and still remain a
“Pauper State”. Vocational Train
ing produces skilled laborers and
skilled labor is the only agency
that can produce wealth. We can
not develop a great industrial
state with “Common Labor”. We
are now living in the dawn of the
“Machine Age” We cannot main
tain our present position; we can
not meet competition iii the future
unless we provide Vocational Ed
ucation for the masses.
Vocational Training is being
given in most of our state high
schools ar.d this must be continued
and expanded but the cost of ma
chinery and equipment is too great
for us to fully equip all of our
State high schools, and for that
reason their work is limited to
the ABC’s of Vocational Training
As an answer to this situation, the
Legislature of 1941 established a
regional vocational school to serve
a section of sufficient size to jus
tify the purchase of the necessary
machinery and equipment to effi
ciently train the masses in one re
gion in the textile industry. This
institution is to Vocational Train
ing what the high school is to our
system of public education. This is
our first regional vocational school
It is our hope that the service ren
dered by this school will both jus
tify and require the establishment
of other regional vocational
schools for each major industry
and in every section of the state.

THE EAGLE
LETTER BOX
TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:
On Saturday May <>, a group of
Negro citizens of Cherryville,N.C.
attempted to register in the Dem
ocratic Primary, however they
were refused. It will he remember
ed that Cherryville is the only
place in Gaston county that still
closes the polls to Negroes. Among
those citizens were Phoenix An
derson, John Rivers, .]. V. Wray,
Claude Dixon, W. H, Green, Wal
ter Bess. Robert Brooks, Mrs. M.
L. Wray, and Stanley M-cCorkle.
These same individuals are buying
war bonds and helping in the war
effort. Phoenix Anderson recently
purchased $JOO.OO in war bonds.
Their attitude as well as the at
titude of the better thinking
white citizen is that they should
be aljowed to vote.
In presenting themselves to the
[tolls, the would-be registrants
were asked questions or told to
come hack later, yet in other
towns the registrant merely gives
his name, residence and age. Miss
Loy Stroupe who was one of the
registrars had the Chief of Police
and Lawyer David P. Dellinger
to act as witnesses to the so-called
test required for registering. The
Negroes were asked to interpret1
the Constitution of N. Carolina
which is no requisite for register
ing. Mrs M. L. Wray was told by
Registrar Carl Black that certain
questions were to be asked the
registrant. This was contrary to
the Article 6, Section 1 and 2 of
the Constitution of North Carolina
The Negroes of Cherryville are
anxious to register and vote be
cause they want to throw their-'
entire support to Gregg Cherry
who is one of Gaston county’s
ablest men. Too, they feel that
since the Constitution is taught to
the Negro school children they
should be able to execute that
same law. If the Negroes are not
• allowed to vote, then the Consti
i tution of the Federal and State
Government to them is just a
farce. Attorney L. B. Hollowell,
Chairman of the Democratic Par
ty, gave moral support to the is
sue. Such a move was greatly ap
preciated.
