C. 1 ■ - • - i CURRIN REPORTS 'FLAT RIVER HAS ' CLUB INTEREST >\ • t ; Baptist SIOO,OOO Club Shows I Much Progress Says Currin. The Rev. J. B. Currin, of Rox boro, pastor of Olive Branch anc Rock Grove Baptist churches who is also leader of the sloo,tnOC club of the Flat River association, an association consisting ol thirty-two churches, today an nounced that considerable pro gress is being experienced in raising the proportionate part ol | this special fund assigned to Baptist churches in the South. Quoting Dr. J. E. Dillard, of Nashville, Tenn., promotional secretary for the Southern Bap tist denomination, the Rev. Mr. Currin today said that the “Hun dred Thousand” club is still growing strong, with receipts j double what they were at this j time last year. The Foreign Mis j sion Board, for the first time in forty years, is free of debt and the Home Mission board paid the last dollar on its old, $2,500,000 debt in May, while the three | seminaries of -i3ts Church now ! owe only $200,000, with balance | of the whole old debt cut down ]to $450,000. out of an original ! debt of $6,500,000. J Total reduction of the debt I within the year is placed at I §1,000,000 for the whole Southern denomination, says Mr. Currin. ! who is anxious that the Flat i River association, largely in Per ! son County, should do its part. ' Post Chaplain Os Butner Dedicates Church Banner Post Chaplain Lars G. C. Pen derson, of Camp Butner, on Sun- j day was chief speaker at a Ser- [ vice Flag dedication at Leasburg Methodist church, of which the j Rev. F. A. Lupton is pastor. The flag contains eighteen stars com memorating young men and wo men of the church who are now in military service. Introduction of Pendersen was by W. Wallace Woods, of Rox boro, secretary of Roxboro Chamber of Commerce. The i Chaplain's remarks, appropriate ! to the oecassion, were greatly ap- \ predated. Feature of the day as- J ter the morning service was pic nic luncheon served on the grounds of the Leasburg parson age. SICILY ‘GUARDED BY WOODEN GUNS ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa.

One of the chief duties of the Library Commission’s staff since Pearl Harbor has been to keep up with the war—that is, they spend many hours each day help ing others to follow the soldiers, d Miss Beal says that when the s, fighting breaks out on a new 0 front, or when the Allied troops », are on the move —for instance, 'f in Sicily this week —a l * new flood of requests for books '■ dealing with that locality hits ” the commission’s office. ls This change has been apparent ° since the drafting of civilians for ‘j military service began in 1940, . Miss Beal says. It has grown by leaps ai d bounds a Tar Heel trek . to foreign fields of battle. '* “The mothers and fathers and j relatives are keeping up with s j their kin,” she says. “The boys s | write home about their locations . j when they can, and the relatives ! back home immediately begin 1 | reading books, fiction or non-sic ; I tion, that will throw some light ) on their relative’s distant scene : of action.” ’ But it didn’t take the war to ' make the Library Commission’s i responsibilities grow by leaps and bounds. Expansion of county li brary units over the State, with the aid of local and State funds, j has made the Library Commis j sion one of the strongest divisions j of State government. With State funds available to ■ maintain library units and book j mobile service, the commission in ■ the last three years has supervis 'ed the opening of county and J district library units in 76 of the 1 State's 100 counties, making li j brary service available to all of ' | the counties with the exception j 1 of nine. | In addition, there arc 41 book ! mobiles (including one in Person County) operating under super vision of 48 county units, more ! than in any other State- in the ; nation. One of the features of the Li brary Commission’s service is the huge “mail order” business it does. Last year the commission mail ed more than 8,000 books to in dividuals, and this year the to tal will be even greater with the stay-at-homes really staying at [ home. The only cost to the read |er is the payment of postage to and from the library here, and a postcard is all that is needed to list requests. THREE WOMEN MISS SERIOUS INJURIES BY (continued from front page) ed near Longhurst Mercantile company, both cars, going to ward Ca-Vel, were on right side of the highway, but force of the blow from Walker's car, which struck the rear of the Young machine, turned the Young car completely around and on other side of the highway, turning it up on its side, while the Walker machine, also on other side of j the highway, careened to a stop against a bank about fifty feet | away in direction of Ca-Vel. j Bowes was at first taken to Community hospital. Only wo man injured was Miss Pattie Sue Gravitte, who received a slight leg injury. Investigation was by Deputy Sheriff Baxter Dunn, of Longhurst and State Highway Patrolman John Hudgins. Recorders’ court trial for Wal ker may be delayed until August because Patrolman Hudgins left today for his vacation. i POLICE REPORT BY ROBINSON REVEALS VITAL (continued from page four) lieves, is partly explained by this staff increase, while in crease in number of arrests on drunkenness charges may be at tributed to a higher level of buy ing power among citizens, many of who did not previously have surplus cash for intoxicants. Os the 711 arrests, 337 (were whites, 334 Negroes, and of theft cases 16 out of 22 were solved. Fines and costs by comparison totaled $4,328.00 against $2,690.- 35.

Humphries, who several months ago received an honorable dis charge from the Army, is now employed in Roxboro. He was one of two men to escape alive from a bombed building at Pearl Harbor, where he received se • vere body wound's and suffered I an impairment in hearing. ; A native of Person County, - Humphries served in the Army t for a number of months • before - the United States entered the l present war. In an interview giv t en shortly after his return to t' Roxboro he said he was glad to i be at home, but expressed much 1 concern over apparent lack of t civilian consciousness here, and > elsewhere, that there “really is • a war going on”.

Editorials of both, on interna tional rather than national sub jects, have British dignity—<with some sacrifice of vitality. Gener al impression gained is that the war hits no harder in Australia than it does in the U. S. A., but for one significant difference, the dominance of columns of “In Memoriam” notices for men in active service, and of innumer able want adds for selling any thing from autos to baby carri ages. Shock to American children— and to some adults—is the small-, ness, of a comic section, two pages in color. One contains the story of “Ginger Meggs”, a smart lit tle boy, who gets double-crossed on attendance at a church bazaar and misses out on a serving of ginger beer and cream cakes. Absent almost to the zero point are what we know as Society columns and pages for the wo men. Brides have their photo graphs, a little larger than post age stamps, and one wedding no tice in which a bride is describ ed as wearing a white satin gown is cut to tiwo inches. Also, wo men in Australia are referred to as “females” in a story dealing with a strike of women workers. The two papers were sent to Roxboro to Mrs. A. R. Davis, who received them from a friend in Melbourne and was kind enough to pass them on to the Times for a lookover.
