North Carolina Third Term
Manager Seeks United Action
Raleigh, May 16 —.“Supporters
of President Franklin D. Roose
velt must remain on the alert not
withstanding the sweeping vic
tory scored in last Saturday’s
county conventions”, J. H. Fol
ger, Chairman of the North Caro
lina for Roosevelt Headquqarters,
said today. “The victory will not
be complete until the personnel
of North Carolina’s 26-vote dele
gation is selected and its mem
bers all known to ,be for the Pre
sident’s renomination.”
Senator Folger pointed to the
district caucuses here Friday, and
the great importance of attend
ance, by Roosevelt folks in large
numbers, upon these caucuses at
10 o’clock Friday morning, May
17. He called attention to the
fact that all the national conven
ion delegates, except those at larJ
ge with a total of four votes, arc
tc be named as the caucuses; each
disrict having the privilege of se
lecting delegates with a total of
two votes. The usual practice is
to name four delegates with a
half vote each.
“Despite the fact that an over
whelming majority of county con
ventions instructed for Roosevelt.
it would be possible for the dis
trict caucuses, or some of them,
to select as delegates to the Nat
ional Convenicn the most violent
anti-Roosevelt men, if the forces
MAD DOGS

the State Deparment that two mad
dogs have been found in Roxboro.

The citizens are requested, in the in
terest of public safety, to keep a
careful watch.
Owners of dogs are required to keep
their dogs penned up or under con
trol.

opposed to the President should
have a majority present at the
district meetings; particularly as
there are so many counties which
have named ‘all good Democrats
who attend’ as delegates to the
State convention. The Roosevelt
forces must, as a result, see to it
that enough Democrats favorable
to Franklin D. Roosevelt shall be
present Friday to prevent any at
tack by forces who oppose the
President.” All Roosevelt men
and women who possibly can,
should be in Raleigh before 10 o’-
clock Friday morning, May 17,
and find the places named for
their district caucus and be there
at ten o’clock for the meeting.

Tropical Helmets 1
Will Be In Use
Fort Bragg, N. C., May 16 —■
The tropical helmet, a subject of
research and experimentation for
a number of years by army offi
cers, scientists, and explorers,
will make its appearance here as
an article of uniform in forma
tions for the first time when the
Citigens Military Tranng Camp
regiment is organized on June 12.
the Post Commander announced
today.
The Regular Army officers at
tached for duty at the C. M. T.
Camp, the Reserve officers in
charge of the training, and the
trainees will wear the helmet at
all times. Although the helmet as
now designed has not been offi
cially approved by the War de
partment, its comfort in hot wea
ther and practicality have been
amply demonstrated by tests at
this post.
This unique headgear has a
I leather rim about an inch wide
which fits around the head. The
rim is the only part of the hel
met that touches the wearer. At
tached to the rim by four alum
inum hinges is the undulating co -
ver cl waterproof canvas, which
is separated from the leather rim
by the aluminum hinges. The
separation permits the free cir
culation of cool air under the cov
er and all around the head.
Causes of sunstroke or of heat
stroke seldom occur at Fort Bragg
even under the cover of the tight
fitting field service hat. Use of
the tropical helmet as an article
of uniform will be a 100 percent
insurance against £uch cases a
mong the C. M. T. C. trainees, no
matter how hot the weather may
become.
