Ironmen Tied By
Newton 7-7
Play King* Mountain Thera
Friday
Friday afternoon the Cherry
ville Ironmen and Newton Red
Raiders battled to a 7-7 dead
lock. The game was very excit
ing and hard-fought. The Iron
men dominated the play in the
First half and led by Hugh Del
linger drove to Newton’s eight
yard line but failed to score.
Newton kicked out of danger to
end the half. In the second half
Newton scored first on a pass in
terception and made the xtra
point. After the kick-off the
Ironmen scored ifl three plays.
After one pass failed, Hugh Del
linger passed to Howard Henkle
to Newton’s eight-yard line. Del
linger plunged for the score and
Sigmon made the extra point.
Newton took the kick off and tried
three passes which failed and the
ball game was over. Leading the
Ironmen in the line were Sum
mers and Elliott and in the back
field it was Hugh Lellinger and
Sigmon and Henkle.
i.et us at this time give a brief
outline of the outstanding players
of Cherryville’s Ironmen. On the
line we have Ends Voyde White
and Yates McGinnis (McGinnis
having broken his arm in early
part of season); Tackles Cone
Moss and Edward Elliott and
Center Harold Blackwood. Of
this line Summers, Black, and
Elliott are most outstanding.
Summers’ weight 188 lbs. and
stands 6’ 2” and Elliott stands
510” and weighs 140, while
Black stands 5' 9” and weighs
160 lbs. Summers is a senior and
a candidate for the Shrine All
Star game. Cherryville this year
has one of the best backfields it
has had in years. Leading this
backfield is Captain Hugh Dellin
ger, considered by his coaches as
the best in the Conference this
year. He stands 5’ 10” and weighs
182 lbs. He also is a senior and a
candidate for Shrine All-Star
game. Another back is J. T. Sig
mon who is 5’ 10” tall and weighs
170 pounds. He’s a great defen
sive player and a hard runner.
Howard Henkle is the speed boy
of the backfield. He is 5’ 10” tall
and weight is 145. He is the
fastest man on the team. He can
run, kick, and passes. A senior
and also a Shrine All-Star candi
date. This is Henkle’s first year
of football and he has shown up
exceptionally well. Next are two
boys who are also first year men.
Both are exceptionally fine backs
and are considered by their
coaches as regulars. They are
Carol Wright and Tom Quinn.
Wright stands 5’ 9” and weighs
about 135 while Quinn is 5’9”
and weighs 130. These boys may
be small but they pack power
when they run or tackle as their
opponents will tell you.
The Ironmen have played their
last game of the season at home.
They play Kings Mtn. in Kings
Mtn. Friday and go to Morganton
for a game with the N.C.S.D. the
following Friday. The crowd at
the last two games were not so
good and we hope that the peo
ple of Cherryville will come out
next year and support their
teams in a big way.
WOUNDED CHERRYV1LLE
SOLDIER RECOVERING
IN ENGLAND
A U.S. GENERAL HOSPITAL,
England. — Wounded by enemy
shrapnel in defensive position
position just before the initial
attack on St. Lo, Private Abra
ham B. Morrow, 23, of Cherry
ville, North Carolina, is now re
covering in this United States
Army general hospital in England.
He has received the Purple Heart.
His ward surgeon, First Lieut.
Franklin G. Osberg, of Denver,
Colorado, said, “Pvt. Morrow is
recovering splendidly, and soon
will be able to exercise in the
hospital grounds.”
“We were on the receiving end
of heavy fire from 88’s and mor
tars,” Pvt. Morrow, an Infantry
machine gunner, said. “In various
skirmishes I accounted for over
20 Jerries. Two of us got a Ger
man patrol party of 10 in our
cross fire, and not one escaped. A
sniper got one of my buddies,
and I got him with a quick shot
from the hip with my rifle.”
“When I was wounded,” Pvt.
Morrow continued, "I had just
dug in, and shells were landing
all about us. An 88 hit a tree just
above me, and fragments struck
me in the left thigh and in the
abdomen. I received first aid
within 16 minutes, and was later
evacuated to England by plane.'*

Mrs. A. B. Morrow, live at the

The Church During War And
Peace.
Leason for November 12: Isa
iah 2:2-4; 9:6,7; Matthew 5:23
48; Romans 13:1-7.
Golden Text: Matthew 5:9.
Beginning with Isaiah’s picture
of Christ’s Kingdom as one of
righteousness and peace, and
continuing with a prophecy of
the Prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6
7), we come to the teaching of
Jesus concerning love to enemies.
We find a contrast between
love to neighbors witlf hatred of
snemies. In the latter we have
the example of God Himself, who
sends His blessings on all alike.
From Paul’s teachings of the
origin of government we conclude
that good citizenship is Christian
duty. During war the Christian’s
attitude should be determined by
his duty of allegiance to constitu
ted authority. Violence done by
an individual in defiance of law is
different from that done by the
Government in opposoing violence
The Church should support the
Government in opposing violence
gression, while urging that war
be waged without hatred and with
the aim of bringing a just peace.
In time of peace, the Church
should labor to inform, inspire
and support the government in
putting down the enemies that
attack the country from within.
These enemies know no truce, re
spect no rights, regard not the
morals and welfare of our peo
ple, and seize the opportunity to
work their evil within the country
while war is being waged upon
enemies without. Eternal vigil
lance and determined opposition
to monstrous evils in our midst
will be the price of safety. And
the people have the right to ex
pect that the Church shall lead in
making our country safe at home.
Red Cross To
Handle Request
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 6.—Re
quests that soldiers be brought
home from overseas because of
family hardship must now be
made only through the American
Red Cross, Major General Fred
erick E. Uhl said today in ex
plaining a change in War De
partment procedure.
Under a second change, the
Commanding General, Fourth
Service Command, continued,
Army Agencies will no longer re
quest theatre commanders to re
port on the physical condition of
individuals overseas. The change
has been imposed by the growing
volume of such individual inquir
ies and by the heavy military
load- on available channels of
communication. As before the
adjutant General's Office in
Washington will report serious l
illness and any material
changes in health to next of kin
as a matter of routine procedure
as rapidly as information is receiv
ed from overseas. The Army
memorandum directing the change
says in part: "in the absence of
such report it may be assumed
that the individual’s condition has
not changed materially.”
The new method of requesting
return of a soldier from overseas
because of family emergency
first responsibility on the
chapter of the American
Red Cross, which makes the ini
tial investigation of family condi
tions. The report and the request
are then forwarded together by
the Red Cross to the proper thea
tre of war commander, who
makes the Anal decision and takas
Anal action.

That Thank*
Giving Dinner
All housewives know that the
best recipe for a successful
Thanksgiving dinner is to plan
the menu well in advance, to pre
pare the food, whenever possible
beforehand, and to be thorough
ly foresighted about all details.
For example, these days of
rationing can become a veritalble
nightmare if there aren’t suffici
ent coupons in the family ration
books. It will be a good idea to
list all items needed for the holi
day dinner and the quantities.
Along side of each item mark
down the required points. When
upon totaling you discover that
ir.qre points are required than
you have on hand, substitution
of items of less point value will
help you to balance your ration
books.
In many kitchens the actual
preparation of the festive meal
meuns that every pot, pan, dish,
fork and spoon come out of their!
hiding places and are piled helter 1
skelter cluttering up valuable
working space. This is not only
inefficient but dangerous, and
can lead to accidents that involve
cuts, bruises and burns. Should
you burn yourself, don’t ignore
it with a "haven't-got-time” at
titude. Spread petrolatum, sis'
known as petroleum jellv, o*
gauze and place on ‘h**
Then cover the dressing, *- m
but not tightly, with a heavier
bandage. If the burn is deep or
covers a lar<re area, call a physi
cian immediately.
It’s'a good idea to keep your
kitchen clear of unnecessary it
sil, pause a moment, clean it
ems. When you have used a uten
and then replace it in the cabinet.
Dispose of vegetable partings and
other refuse as quickly as it ac
cumulates.
Be sure, too, to wipe up any
thing, even plain water, that
spills on the kitchen floor. Slip
ping and falling has sent many r
good cook to the ho;»>ital. And
when you lift the lid of a pot or
pan, lift the far edge of the lid
first so that steam will escape
away from face and hands.
Another precaution is to turn
pot handles away from the edge
of the stove so that they can’t
catch in your apron and tip as
you brush by.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. —
President Roosevelt today . pro
claimed November 23, the fourth
Thursday of this month, Thanks
giving bay, thus following the
law enacted by Congress Dec. 20,
1941. Five states plan to observe
Nov. 30th, the last Thursday by
local choice.
In his annual proclamation, the
President called on the nation to
read the Holy Scriptures from
Thanksgiving until Christmas in
thanking God for restoring free
dom to many millions in “this
year of liberation’’ and for the
“promise of an enduring peace."
The complication of two Thanks
giving days is continuing this
year despite congressional action
to end the Roosevelt experiment
of an earlier Thanksgiving started
in 1939 because this month has
five Thursdays.
Forty-one states and the Pis
Irict of Columbia have liked Nov.

federal statute, but Flotilla, Ida
