“Eye* Of Love”
A Success
The comedy-drama, “Eyes of
Love,” as presented at North
Brook No. 2 October 25, by the
Victory Volunteer Players of
North Brook, had a most success
ful opening night.
The huge crowd which filled
the auditorium proved that the
people of our country are vitally
interested in the worthy cause of
the Red Cross. The net proceeds
were $86.45. All proceeds will
soon be presented to the local
Red Cross Chapter.
“Eyes of Love” as portrayed
by these players is a human sto

that the audience went away so
well pleased that future perfor

uled. The next performance has
been planned for November 3rd

“For he who leaves God out of
hjs reckoning, does not know

IRONMEN DEFEAT
BESSEMER CITY
Hinkle Races 68 Yards
For Touchdown
The Cherryville iTonmen gain
ed their second non-conference
victory last Friday when they de
feated the Bessemer City Scrap
py Lads 31-6. The Ironmen op
ened with a bang in the first few
minutes of the game. The Scrap
py Lads kicked off to the Iron
men and it was run back to the
Cherryville thirty-two yard line.
On the first play of scrimmage
Howard Henkle circled his own
left end and raced 68 yards for
the score. Summer kicked the
extra point. After this the Iron
men were never headed as they
scored four more times. In all
Henkle scored twice, Sigmon,
Dellinger, and Quinn once each.
Bessemer's score came in the 4th
period when Cherryville was pen
alized three times of 16 yards
each. Then a short pass to Dixon
for the touchdown.
Outstanding for the Ironmen
in the line were Summer and El
liott. Elliott was especially good
on defense. The backfield stars
can be named from the scoring
above, Hugh Dellinger, Shrine All
Star candidate, played his usual
)fine game. He, in the opinion of
his coaches, is the best back in
the conference this year. His de
fensive play leaves nothing to be
desired. On Offense, he can pass,
run, and kick with the best of
them.

TROOPS, HOLLAND.— Lt. Col.
George L. Riddle, a veteran of
Africa, Sicily Italy, Normandy
and the Netherlands, now is ful
filling his duties as division chap
lain with the 82nd Airborne Di
vision in Holland. He was landed
by glider during the airborne in
vasion of this country.
Commissioned in the Infantry
Reserve in 1931, Chaplain Riddle
transferred to the Chaplain’s
Corps in 1939 and was called in
to active duty in 1940. He joined
the 82nd All-American before it
was converted to the First Air
borne Division.
As one of the first airborne
“flying-gliding” chaplains, Col
Riddle was with his division in
Sftcily when he and two other offi
cers invaded the unoccupied town
of Paceco. They were amazed,
the chaplain recalls, when 250
Italian soldiers insisted upon sur
rendering. The two regular line
officers, engaged in an important
mission, were unable to escoit
the prisoners, so the chaplain
volunteered. Armed with noth
ing but a cane, and picking up
other prisoners along the route,
Chaplain Riddle reached the
prisoner of war cage at the di
vision command post, four miles
distant, with 605 surrendered
Italians.
The chaplain also distinguished
himself in Normandy, where his
glider crashed in front of a Ger

the other occupants in the protec

and crawled several hundred
yards to get help for the strand

REV. LUTHER W. HAWKINS
'Blind Trio To Sing
For Anniversary
Next Sunday, November- 5, will
be the second anniversary of the
pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Lu
ther Hawkins, as pastor of the
Second Baptist Church of Cher
ry ville.
Two years ago, on the first
Sunday in November, I!t42, Mr.
Hawkins brought his first mes
sage as pastor of the local con
gregation.
The second Baptist Church had
been on a half-time basis, with
worship services on the first and
third Sunday mornings and sec
ond and fourth Sunday even
ings. The schedule continued
thus until the first Sunday in
October, 1943, eleven months. At
this time the church felt that its
growth had been sufficient to go
on a full-time schedule, and ask
ed the pastor to come with them
for full time, with morning and
evening worship each Sunday. Ac
cordingly, he resigned his work
as pastor of the Oak Grove Bap
tist Church in Cleveland Coun
ty and accepted the fulltime pas
torate at Second Bapt ist Church.
In observance of the second
anniversary of the Church, the
Davis Trio, consisting of Pauline,
Thornton, and Floyd Davis, three
blind young people of Gastonia,
will be guest musicians for the
morning service next Sunday. The
program will consist of special mu
sic bv the Davis Trio, congrega
tional singing. Impromptu re
marks by members of the church,
and a short devotional message by
the pastor.
The Davis Trio is well known
over the State of North Caroli
na, having made personal appear
ances in some of the States lar
gest cities. These blind folks sing
only hymns and conventional reli
gious songs. Pauline, the girl
member of the trio, has been
called by many, “the Kate Smith
of North Carolina.’ Her work
as soloist is commendable.
Friends of the church and its
pastor are invited to attend these
services. A hearty welcome is
extended to all.
W. T. ROBINSON ACCEPTS
POSITION IN CHARLOTTE
Mr. W. T. 'Robinson has resign
ed his position at the Cherry

sition with Bewis and Hunter
Certified Accountants in Char
lotte. Mr. Robinson has already
entered upon his new duties. His
friends wish for him much suc
cess in his new work.
Marketing Quotas and acreage
allotments for 1944-45 wheat

The Cherryville School will ob
■erve national Education Week
by having: “Open House” on
Thursday, November 10th, 1944,
at:
Elementary 1 from 10:00 to
1 1 :.‘S0 A. M.
Elementary II from 2:00 to
3:15 P. M.
High School from 7:30 to
0:30 P. M.
The public is cordially invited
to attend.
The theme for Education Week
is “Education for Now Tasks.”
Many tasks confront the Am
erican people today. Our imme
diate task is to bring the war to
an early and victorious end. In
this effort the schools are playing;
a vital part.
At the same time they are lay
ing the foundations for the years
of peace to ci me. They are pre
paring children, young people,
ami adults for the new tasks
which confront the country.
When the war is over our
country will be faced with the
problem of readjustment which
in many ways will be as difficult
as the problems of mobilization.
.Millions of men and women must
be trained for new jobs. Boys and
girls in school must be prepared
to meet the readjustment. We
cannot in this postwar period
permit the youth to become a
lost generation.
W e are on the road to victory.
! ;V‘ "V build a lasting peace?
Education is the promotion of
peace. To this task education
must dedicate, its full force.
All of the new tasks which con
1 ront our society as a whole in
some way deal with our schools,
r or the schools are of society and
their task is to build society by
developing good citizens.
Let us utilize the power of ed
ucation to fulfill the promise of
America and to enable us to do
our part among the family of na
tions in the establishment of a
just order of affairs in the world.
