PROPOSED CAMP Continued from page one tentative and is dependent upon further materialization of War Department plans. Printed below is the story from Washington. Washington, July 16.—Selection cf a 50,000-acre site in Durham, Granville and Person counties for a possible new Army camp was announced today by Representa tives Carl . Durham and John H. Folger. One of 14 sites announced by the War Department today in preparation for a probable ex pansion of the Army, the propos ed camp is planned to accommo date between 18,000 and 22,000 men. The site selected occupies the triangle between Durham and Oxford and Henderson. It is bounded on one side by the Sea board Air Line Railroad and on the other by the Norfolk and Western. U. S. Highway 15 tra verses the area and along the south boundary is the Neuse Riv er. The site thus has desirable transportation nad water facili ties readily available. The prox imity to the three sizable towns also will provide troops with rec reational facilities. No funds now are available for the acquisition of the sites for the construction of the camps, it was stressed. This and the 13 other locations merely have been chos en so that the Quartermaster Corps and other interested Army agencies could perfect plans for the camps if it is later necessary to Increase the strength of the Army. o BLOXAM LETTER Continued from page one budget, presented this matter which entailed an outlay of some $5,000 or $6,000 for new water mains. This was not included in the current budget due to. first, the fact that the item was more than the Commissioners felt could be included in this current budget. Second, great difficulty is being experienced by the City in obtaining materials such as would be necessary to make a complete and good job. Third, I think you appreciate from each section of the town I and it would be the writer’s i thought that the residents of; these sections Would see their ■ i representative. Then the matter j can be openly and freely discufJ sed, and I believe satisfactory ac- ! tion obtained. I do agree with you that these, folks have a real kick and again I want to say to you that it would be foolish of our Water Superintendent and Street Sup ervisor to do anything but keep the roads open in as satisfactory a maner as possible until this underground earth work and wa ter work has been completed. We were successful with the! State Highway and Public Works' Commission in getting them to help us granite these roads and make them passable during the last spring and summer which has been much appreciated by these people. While this in onlyj a temporary arrangement, it ! goes to show that we have recog nized the fact that all this work must be done and we are not in favor of botching or doing this type of work by half measures. However, I am convinced if Rox fcoro is to grow and go forward, 1 we must develop a systematic plan and plans looking into the future. I trust this will explain and is not offered as any alibi. Sincerely, Percy Bloxam City Manager Pb-lp o A- B DRUG OPENS Continued from page one avenue side, the store interior represents modern style in con servative taste.

NOW A 5-DAY WEEK FOR A*P EMPLOYES THROUGHOUT THE NATION Stores Will Be Open Six Days A Week As* Usual But No Employe Will Work More Than Five Days i Two months ago this company tried the experiment in a few eastern states of a five day work week for our retail store employes. Now we are able to announce that we have adopted the five-day week as our national policy. • This, we believe, constitutes the first five-day week and the shortest general working hours of any major retail food establishment. • This shorter work week will be in effect before Labor Day in A&P food stores in thou sands of communities throughout the country. It will be extended as far and as fast as possible. Frankly, however, we must recognize that in a few states and a number of cities the introduction of this policy may be delayed or even prevented by state or local labor regulations or local agreements. • A&P food store employes affected by this policy will work only five days a week al though stores will be open six day* a week as usual. Their weekly salaries will not be reduced by their shorter work week. Our policy is to continually improve working con ditions and salaries as evidenced by the fact that during the past year alone we have been able to make actual wage Lacfegpes and to pay added compensation to our employes in an amount totaling more than $4,000,000. / . ... .. - . This new, shorter week is still further evidence that the savings you can now make in buying groceries, meats and fresh fruits and vegetables in A & P Food Stores are made possible by savings through efficiency and that no part of these savings comes out of the wages of our employes. . » FOR many yean it has been a source of pride to us that we out waste and unnecessary handling operations along the dis have been able generally to maintain the highest average tribution route, wage scale and the shortest general working houn in a field where long hours have been traditional.
