Entered as Second Class Matter January 19, 1923, •t the Postoffice at Wallace, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879, Thurday, January 7,1943 Wallace Men Two former Wallace men were elevated to positions of honor and trust on the eve of the New Year. We join their many friends and relatives in a feeling of pride for the achievements of W. J. Carter of Greensboro, and Fitz hugh Wallace of Kinston. Each has been properly recognized for his abilities in his chosen field of endeavor. W. J. Carter, president of Carter Fabrics Corporation, of Greensboro, was elected President of the North Carolina Textile' Foundation. One of the aims of the Textile Foundation is to make the State College’s Textile ^ School one of the most outstanding of its kind in the country, and we know that the Foundation’s aims will be handled with skill under the leadership of W. J. Carter. Fitzhugh E. Wallace, prominent Kinston /attorney, was selected as head of the State Bar Association. ( • President of the North Carolina Bar As sociation is indeed a‘high post of honor. Though, the State Executive Committee of •the North Carolina Bar Association recog nized in Mr. Wallace the strength and pow er needed at this time to head the State Bar Association. Isobor Praised t State Commissioner of Labor, Forest H. I^Shuford, in a New Year’s statement praised the spirit of cooperation of North Carolina labor in, helping to achieve unity and pro gress in the impartial enforcement of the state labor laws. This he states has con tributed in no small way to North Caro lina's civilian war effort. * Labor has made some interruptions of work in the State in-the past year, but on a whole we can agree with Commissioner Shuford as to Labor’s unswerving cooper ation with the war effort. This is a great tribute to North Carolina’s wartime spirit, v If labor will continue to maintain the same 5 spirit of cooperation for the duration it will carve an indelible record on the pages of history in North Carolina. Brief Session The present wartime session of the Gen eral Assembly may have a lot of unnecessary introduced in the name of ‘‘Emer gency Legislation”' which will only be a camouflage of the real intent of certain > groups to get rallying support from the Assemblymen as well as the folks back home. It is hoped that this type of legis V lation will be pitched into the pigeon-hole as fast as it appears. • : In all fairness to the State and its tax payers this session of the General Assembly should be as brief, as certain must legis fatfon, will'permit. There is no need for any emergency legislation for the State or local Governments at this time. All bounty spud city governments are in good-shape throughout North Carolina. Tax collections are better than they have ever been and ** icial obligations of local governmental are being met with surpluses^ e should be no need of increasing levies upon the people of North Caro be maintained great ship of their this Rationing Board In establishing three rationing offices, strategically located in Wallace, Warsaw and KenansVille, the Duplin County Ra tioning Board composed of Hugh Morri son, J. O. Stokes and Ralph J. Jones, ar« to be colhmended for conscientiously striv ing to serve the best interest of all the peo ple of Duplin County. Duplin County is a large county and heretofore the people have had to make 40 and 50 mile trips to see about some ration ing certificate.- NOW, each ration office serves the immediate surrounding section. A lot of time, gasoline and tires will, be saved with this new rationing set-up estab lished by the County Rationing Board. It is evident that our Rationing Board is trying to preserve the resources of the people of Duplin County. The Board mem bers serve without any pay or other re muneration. Our Prisoners of War Up to December 9. 1942. Germany had reported 228 U. S. prisoners of war and 1,491 interned U. S. civilians, of whom 788 were men and 703 women. Italy had re ported 15 U. S. prisoners of war and 21 U. S. internees of whom 13 were men and 8 women. Japan had reported 1,442, U. S. prisoners of war, 310 Army, 728 Marine Corps and 404 Navy and 1,883 U. S. in ternees, 1,596 men and 287 women. Japan holds many times this number of Ameri cans, and every available means is being used to obtain from Japan complete lists of names, the furnishing of which is re quired under the International Convention which that country has agreed to apply. No Time For Hysteria So far in this war. the doctors have quiet ly endeavored to comply with military as well as civilian needs. Out of a total of 155,000 medical men in the nation, over forty thousand are giving their skills to the military services. And the heroic job they are doing in far-away corners of the world is well attested to by the recent comment of Admiral Ross T. Mclntire, Surgeon Gen eral of the Navy: “On Guadalcanal scores of doctors and hundreds of members of the medical corps operate American field hospitals under continuous fire . . . We hav^ suffered heavy casualties among our medi cal personnel in these operations." The Marines are no exception. The doctors are everywhere that battles are being fought. As far as civilian health is concerned, one of the toughest problems is the nurse and the general labor shortage. But the doc tors remaining at home are taking steps to alleviate this shortage,. even as they are working out a definite program of civilia> medical care. All that they need is co operation on the part of the public. Se curing this cooperation is not made easier by the activities of hysterical extremists who would arbitrarily ration doctors like bicycles, with the ultimate aim of social izing medicine. ^ Until the Bells Ring Methods of combating fires set by in cendiary bombing have undergone drastic change. This is because incendiary bombs are war weapons and war weapons are constantly changing. Present fire bombs usually contain delayed explosives which detonate long after impact. Former prac tices in handling these missiles are exceed ingly dangerous because they require a close approach by the fire fighter. Director James M. Landis of the Office of Civilian Defense, observes that: i‘Use of a jet of water enables the operator to work at a much greater distance than the ‘short range’ methods employing sand, oth er smothering agents, or a spray of water, Sand in the form of bags or mats cannot be dejpended upon, because these bombs, up on explosion,, have a greater fragmentation effect than the explosive incendiary bombs formerly used. The public should be warn ed against the use of all such smother agents as ‘bomb extinguishing’ powders; also against such devices as scoops, grabs, and snuffers. They are entirely without merit and may endanger the' lives of per sons who depend upon them. The use of spray and sand is no longer recommended because the possibility of fragmentation makes it too dangerous to approach the bomb sufficiently, close to apply them.” A direct stream of water is now recom mended as the best means of an incendiary bomb. An ordinary gi e is suitable, but stay as far away ble and assume a crouching or positfen behind the best available cover. Enemy raids are a constant Vigilance can not be with the 1 -r< _ v*,: i- 11 Headquarters Co, E.R.T.C.

I have been receiving the rap from my home at Rose Hill f quite a while now,, and I must admit that.I look forward to re ceiving it very much, or should it “takes up” where I say it “takes up” where the letter from home “leaves off.” I don't stop reading when I have -'impsed at the headlines; why, even read the news from all the surrounding coiramnsMes, and I can-say I am really learn ing more about Duplin Cooney than I ever knew before. I will appreciate it very much if you will send the paper to the above address, and wfth every good wish for a very hap py NEW YEAR, I am Yours very truly-,, Pvt. W. GRAHAM BLANBi. A Weekly— ; i CHURCH COLUfitH Conducted By REV. M. J. MURRAY Pastors are tnvited to take advan tage of this column for sermons church notices, etc. Mail sermons mut aomrumtions to Church Column Editor, care cf this newspaper. --+ Thousands of churches across the United States observed New Year’s Day as a day of prayer in keeping with Presi dent Roosevelt’s proclamation of last month: “Aand I request that both Thanksgiving Bby, November 26, 1942, and New Year’s Day, January 1 1943; be observed in prayer, publicly and private^.” The Moderator of the Presbyterian General' As sembly and leaders of other de nominations have asked their ministers to hold special serv ices on this day. (rovemor Harold E. Stassen. of Minnesota, has been elected president of the International Council of Religious Education, with headquarters in Chicago. He succeeds the late Russell Col gate, businessman and philan thropist. The Men’s Bible Class: of the First Presbyterian: Church Ard more, Okfe., is sponsoring a service men's center. About one hundred men and women have been appointed hosts and hostesses; one couple serves for a period each month. When a soldier, sailor, or marine signs the register of the club and f. gives his home address, the Rev. j Horace C. Casey, pastor writes * the service man's: family that he has visited this church. The idea is spreading to other par ishes. Reports from Europe indicate that the Quisling authorities in Norway have recently forbid den paper supplies to the Nor wegian Bible Society; its cir culation of scriptures lastyear was exceptionally large. There has been a new printing and wide distribution of the Bible in Hungary. The War Emer gency Fund of the American Bible Society is malting pos sible the printing andL distribu tion of Bibles, Testaments and gospel portions in CStecho-Slo vakda. There has also been re cent calls for the printing ef new Bibles in Italian, in Span ish, and in Polish, and funds for these will probably be sup plied through the American Bl i ble Society. .
