FUNERAL. RITES FOR
LAWRENCE J. JONES BEING
(continued from front page)
is a staff membre of the Person
OPA office.
For the past year Jones had
been employed iwith a drydock
company, Norfolk, and had been
at home but a few weeks, ex
pecting a call to military service.
He was educated at Roxboro
high school and was known to
many citizens here.
The wreck was second major
traffic mishap for Rogers, who
last Summer was charged iwith
driving a car which struck and
injured Miss Glenna Mae Hicks,
17, near Longhurst. The same
car, a Chevrolet sedan, is said to
have been the one wrecked Tues
day night. The Rogers-Hicks case
■was settled in Person Recorder’s
court last month, where he was
also tried on a separate count of
careless and reckless driving and
speeding and had his driving li
cense revoked. Hearing panel of
OPA subsequently took from him
both A arid C books. ,
It is reported that Jones and
Rogers and another young man,
Paul Harris, stopped at the Sam
Barnette service station about
twenty minutes before the fatal
wreck’ and that Harris got out of
the machine near the Court House
square before the others contin
ued what was planned as a trip
to Danville, Va.

Post No. 138. ,
Kennedy, who was graduated
from West Point in 1908, saw his
first service with the 6th Caval
ry, in the Philippine Islands on
the Island of Jolo, then the farth
est south of the American garri
son. As a young lieutenant in
this outpost of the American
forces, he was engaged in sever
al battles against the rebellious
and hostile Moros, and it was
his exploits in one of these en
gagements that gained for him
the Medal of Honor.
In the final fight against the
notorious Moro bandit outlaw,
Jikiri, who had ravaged the Sulu
Sea for two years, Lieut. Ken
nedy engaged in hand-to-hand
combat with the trapped and de
sperate Moros, and was severely
wounded before the band was
subdued.
The Moros ha : d been chased
down and had made their final
stand in a large cave in the cra
ter of an extinct volcano. After
a two-day fight the American
troops gained the rocks at the
mouth of the cave. Young Ken
nedy, with three other volun
teers, forced an entrance into the
cave to destroy or capture the
15 or 20 remaining members of
the outlaw band.
After heavy fighting at close
quarters, the Moros made a rush
for the mouth of the cave. In the
ensuing melee all the bandits
were either killed or captured
and young Kennedy was severe
ly wounded in the neck with a
deep cut inflicted by a Native
“barong”, a heavy bolo-type of
cutting and slashing knife. So
serious wah his wound that his
life was despaired of and today
he bears the scar from this en
gagement. But the band of Jikiri
was exterminated and peace a
gain reigned on the Sulu Sea.
For his World War service
Gen. Kennedy holds, in addition
to the Congressional Medal of
Honor won in the Philippines,
the American decorations of the
Distinguished Service Medal, the
Silver Star Citation, The Order
of the Purple Heart, and the
| Etoile Noir from the French Re
i public.

Honeymoon In

Foxhole Makes
Film History
They were married in a tun
nel on Corregidor; they honey
mooned in a foxhole, with Jap
guns barking in the not-far
enough distance. Every moment
was precious because in the
morning he was leaving on a
dangerous assignment.
That wedding and that honey
moon will be remembered by
film fans along with other fam
ous, heart-stirring movie mo
ments. The principals are Claud
ette Colbert anti George Reeves
and their romantite story is told
in Paramount’s epic /dframa Os
the nurses on Bataan, “So
Proudly We Hail,” at the Palace
Harvey, of Durham, to whom the
foregoing account was sent. Ball’s
wife is the former Miss Marion
Johnson, of West Hartford, Conn.,
to whom he was married about
a year ago, day after receiving
his commission. When the En
sign comes home he promises to
bring Shields Harvey, Jr., a
chunk of a German ME 109—
could easily “bring a live Wop,
they are all anxious to come to
America.”

The War Production Board today
ordered an additional five per
cent cut in the allowable use of
newsprint during the fourth
quarter of 1943.
The reduction, which will be
superimposed on the previous
five per cent third-quarter cut,
had-been expected. WPB Chair
man Donald M. Nelson forecast
it last week in a letter to the
Congressional committee inves
tigating the newsprint shortage.
