The Elkin Club, the speaker pointed out, has done a fine job during the past year and has chalked up an excellent record.

State and Nation (Continued from page one) force planes in enormous num bers spread ruin over north west Germany yesterday against probably the most des perate enemy defense in air war history, a defense which according to a special German high command communique resulted in the destruction of 123 American planes. «The Ger man communique claimed that only two nazi planes were shot down and that seven were missing — a loss so low in com parison to the claimed 123 American planes destroyed as to make the whole communi que appear fantastic. There were indications in Stockholm reports that American heavy bombers operating not in for mation may have made their first daylight assault on Ber lin, which has been raided 104 times by the Royal air force. ELUDES POLICE AS SEARCH IS MADE MONDAY (Continued from page one) looking, she saw it was a negro man. The negro asked her if she was resting, Mrs. Jones said, then wanted to know if that was where C. G. Ashby lived? He said he had some groceries to deliver to Mr. Ashby. Although thoroughly frightened, Mrs. Jones told him that Mr. Ashby didn’t live there, and then asked him what he meant by walking into another person’s house? She said he mum bled something she didn’t under stand and turning around, went down the stairs and out of the house. Watching him through a win dow, she said he had no groceries with him as he walked slowly along the street. Nothing was missed from the home, she said. It was later .in the afternoon that the man was said to have entered the kitchen of the Mc Adams’ home, taking $3.00 from Mrs. McAdams’ pocketbook. Mrs. McAdams, who was said to have been in the front part of the house at the time, discovered the theft and overtook the negro a short distance down the street, where she made him give back the money. He was said to have been going along Spring street, eastward, when she reached a phone and called police. Chief of Police Corbett Wall said he happened to be standing beside the telephone when Mrs. McAdams called, and learning the man was proceeding along Spring street, immediately drove up North Bridge in an effort to cut him off. However, a thorough search of the neighborhood show ed no trace of him. The negro was said to have told Mrs. McAdams that he was de livering groceries for a downtown store, and sure enough he had left a paper bag containing can ned goods in her kitchen. How ever, a check of local grocery stores showed that the canned goods had not been bought here. Contained in the sack were two cans of salmon, three large cans and one small can of sliced pine apple, 1 large can of cherries, 1 glass jar of apple jelly, 1 can of peaches, 1 can of apricots, and a can of tuna. The price of each can was plainly marked on it with grease crayon, but there was no ration point mark on any of it, as is customary with grocery stores here, leading police to be lieve that the goods had been bought before rationing of can ned goods, and that the negro had stolen it from some home. Mrs. McAdams said the man was dressed in a greenish-grey overcoat and wore a black felt hat. HONOR ELKIN SCOUT LEADER (Continued from page one) West Jefferson, were named coun cil vice-presidents.

DRAFT SYSTEM TO BE CHANGED Selective Service “Screen Test” Is Abolished Un der New Order ONLY ONE EXAMINATION Surry County Selective Service officials are awaiting arrival from state headquarters at Raleigh of formal instructions on the mark ed change in the manner of ex amining and inducting men for military service, following the an nouncement from national Selec tive Service headquarters that screening examinations now in ef fect, are to be abolished. Hereafter all men placed in Class l-A will be sent in groups to nearby army-navy examining sta tions, and those who pass for gen eral or limited service will be sent to camps for immediate induction on future calls. It is stated, how ever, that none of these are to be called to service within less than three weeks after they have pass ed the physical examinations. Some will naturally have longer periods at home before being call ed. At present those accepted for army service are given furloughs of twenty-one days at home, those for the Marines two weeks and those for the navy only one week before beginning active service. The new plan will put all on the same basis. The new system, it is pointed out, will build up a pool of ac ceptable selectees, who will be called in their regular order to fill future calls. The Washington an nouncement said that the plan is effective immediately so as to prepare men for February calls. Whether the present system of giving serological blood tests at the local board will be continued will be determined when the new orders are received from state headquarters. It was stated in the Washington announcement that any man who believes he has an obvious physical defect may re quest and be given an examina tion by a local board physician. It is not expected that this alter native will be followed in many cases. Likewise it is stated that a person who passes the tests at an examinating center may be im LABOR DRAFT IS SOUGHT BY FDR Seeks National Service Law To Provide Workers For War Industries HAS 5-POINT PROGRAM Washington, Jan. 12.—President Roosevelt stunned Congress Tues day with a request for legislation allowing the drafting of men and women for war work — key point in a broad program laid down in his annual message for winning the war and winning the peace. Saying such a measure would prevent strikes, Mr. Roosevelt ex pressed conviction that the Amer ican people would welcome it and said it would give our enemies “demoralizing assurance that we mean business — that we 130,000, 000 Americans, are on the march to Rome, Berlin and Tokyo.” The message set forth a five point program of wartime legis lation, asked also for laws as suring that those in the armed services can vote in next year’s election, gave assurance that no secret treaties or political com mitments were made at the Tehe ran and Cairo conferences, and outlined a postwar “bill of econ omic rights,” asking that Congress explore means for implementing it. The five-point program: 1. A tax law which will tax all unreasonable profits both indivi dual and corporate. He said the pending revenue bill, which would raise about $2,000,000,000 instead of the $10,500,000,000 asked by the treasury, “does not begin to meet this test.” 2. Continuation of war law for renegotiation of war contracts. (The tax bill proposes amend ments to this law which oppon ents contend would virtually scut tle it). 3. A "cost of food law” placing mediately inducted into service if he so desires. Prom time to time now it is ex pected that the local board will get calls to send specified num bers of men to examining centers, probably to Fort Bragg or Camp Croft. Since this plan is expected to be used in preparing for the February calls, early action is ex pected so as to provide the three weeks minimum before induction. a “reasonable floor’’ under farm prices and a ceiling on retail prices. He made clear this means continuing subsidies, saying it will “require public funds to car ry out.” 4. Early re-enactment of the stabilization statute 'price and wage fixing law) which expires next June 30. Otherwise, he said, “the country might just as well expect price chaos by summer.” 5. “A national service law — which, for the duration of the war, will prevent strikes, and, with certain appropriate excep tions, will make available for war production on or for any other essential services every able-bod ied adult in this nation.” AUCTION SALE — OF JlP.ShoreProperties Located In Deep Creek Vicinity of Yadkin County Saturday, Jan. 22 Starting 1:30 P.
