In Final Ceremony
Professor Tells Mem
bers of Class to Seek
Noble Life
"Do your task, whatever it may
be, as if it were the finest and great
est in all the world," Dr. J. A. Eas
ley, Professor of Religion at Wake
Forest College, told members of the
graduating class of I'erquimans High
School at commencement exercises
held last Friday night.
Stating that as students advanc
ing through the school years the
seniors had learned to measure dis
tances, land, oceans and many other
objects, but he wondered how many
thought of measuring life. He point
ed out many ways that life can be
measured and the way many people
might measure it, but he cast aside
the, methods of measuring life by
such means as length, heroisr: and
wealth, and told the seniors to fol
low the path of noble living to gain
fullness in life.
He pointed out that as persons
grow older, many weaknesses in
crease and therefore length is not a
perfect measuring rule, but fullness
of life is the object to attain. He
said that' we must give more stress
to health and body, citing that thr
ough selective service reports it is
known that health conditions of
youths in the South are not up to
the standards of the nation.

iey, the graduation exercises were
brought to a close by the presentation
of diplomas to the seniors and mem
bers of the grammar school, and the

torian, and Esther Winslow, saluta-

THIS WEEK'S
HEADLINES
American troops on Okinawa island
have launched an all-out offensive to
wipe out the Japs remaining on that
bloody strip of land, TJ! miles south
of the Jap mainland. Earlier this
week the U. S. forces called upon the
Japs to surrender, but this appeal
was met with silence. The Japs are
trapped on a plateau, from which
there is no escape, unless they jump
into the sea. Heavy fighting con
tinues on the island but American
forces are steadily moving through
the Jap position.
Australian troops invading North
Borneo, rich oil center in the Pacific
zone, met with little opposition in
landing. The Aussies have advanced
two miles inland, toward the capital
city of Brunei and the rich oil fields
which lie beyond the city. The Aus
tralians are being supported by large
numbers of planes and alco light
naval units, which bombard the coas
tal areas.
Japan witnessed the worst bomb
ing attacks yet over the past week
end as the American Air Korce con
tinue to strike at the heart of Jap
anese industry. It has been reported
that military experts in Washington
are convinced all leading industrial
cities in Japan will be non-existent in
two months due to U. S. Air Korce
raids.
Reports from Europe indicate that
the U. S. Third and Seventh Armies
will be retained in that theater, to
handle the occupation of Germany.
The Ninth and 15th Armies are ex
pected to be withdrawn from Europe
and redeployed in the Pacific fight
ing. Previously it was stated that
the 15th Army would be stationed in
Germany for occupational purposes.

Meeting May Be Held
Next Week to Push
Plans For Finish
"We still need $37,2f5 in sales of E
war bonds to put our county over the
goal in the Seventh War Loan," R.
M. Riddick, chairman of the War Fi
nance Committee, stated Wednesday
in announcink sales up to that time
amounted to $92,7:i5.
He added that unless the sales pick
up considerably over this week-end
that he would call a meeting of the
Finance Committee for one night
next week to see what plans could he
worked out to bring the drive to a
successful finish before the campaign
closes June .'id. Members of the com
mittee will be notified of the meet
ing if it becomes necessary to call
one, the chairman stated.
Sales of E bonds during the past
week amounted to approximately 14
thousand dollars, but this rate is far
too little for the county to meet its
goal on time. More people must pur
chase E bonds in larger amounts to
help make the Seventh War Loan a
complete success in I'erquimans.
A number of solicitors throughout
the county have made reports on
sales during the past week, but with
the still large amount to be sold in
E bonds the chairman is urgipg
community solicitors to make a new
canvass of their neighborhoods in an
effort to holster E bond sales. Per
sons who have not yet purchased
bonds during this Seventh War Loan
are urged to buy them at once to
help the county meet its goal.
Sales in I'erquimans are progress
ing at about the same rate as in oth
er nearby counties and there is a pos
sibility that Perquimans can be the
first county to reach its quota, pro
viding the residents of the county
will buy their bonds now and not
wait until the final cmys of the drive.
The list of members of the 18(10
Club is growing, as can be seen from
the column published elsewhere on
this page, but the. club still needs
members to swell the sales. You Can
be listed as a member of this club by
purchasing a $100 E bond. If your
name is not on the list buy that
bond today and have your name listed
next week.
