A surprise was sprung Monday
morning when Attorney Jas. Babb Of
Lewiston, attorney for the Potlatch

Auditor Kaufman to dismiss the ap-
peals from the order of the county
board in the matter of the Clearwater
and Orofno Highways. Plans rad
been perfected to bring the cases to
immediate trial. Judge Steele was
to have been here Tuesday and hear
the cases. The county board and the
highway commissioners were in
session. 1t was planned to kill. if
possible. both highways and 60 back
to the county plan. This is what
large majority of the people want.

by other States in recognition Of the
services rendered by the troops for
their State and government. The
Florida National Guard is made up
of an excellent class of men and their

ago, in many cases, involved serious
ftnahcial loss on their part. Their
remuneration was small in compari-
son to that in private life. The

Upon the return of the New lamp

ROSEMARY SCHOOLS
DONATE TO RED CROSS

The teachers and pupils of the
Rosemary Graded Schools are to
be commended for their splendid
Thanksgiving offering for the
Red Cross. A jar of pennies was
started at the school two weeks
ago and the sum of $1,000 was
realized from same, which should
be an inspiration to every man,
woman, and child.
Not only does it teach the idea
of saving, but it shows the
patriotic spirit which is being
taught to our children in our
schools, and the idea of helping
some one else is a principal
which should be instilled into
the old as well as the young.
How could you spend a
better Thanksgiving than to have
the satisfaction of knowing that
you had helped some one, and
how could you help better than
through the Red Cross? This is
a day of sacrifice. Do your bit!
Secretary Roanoke Rapids Chap

RESULTS PROMISED QUICKLY

The gloomy outlook in the fuel
situation, which has alarmed
many householders in this conn

bly, in the last few days. To be-
gin with the municipal authori-
ties Of Roanoke Rapids have
made arrangements with Mr.. c.
h. Satterwhite of the Halifax
Builders Supply Company, where
by that Company is to provide
approximately two thousand
cords of wood, which has already
been purchased by them, for the
people of this community at a
profit Of fifty cents a cord above
the cost of handling and delivery,
based on stumpage price OF
81. 70 a cord. 1t is estimated that
the price of the sawn' wood de-
livered to the consumer will be
around six dollars per cord.
kilograms in regard to the
coal situation here have been
sent to the Fuel Administration

GOVERNOR APPOINTS
ADVISORY BOARDS

Governor Beckett last week an
nounced the appointment of one
hundred legal advisory boards in
North Carolina to act in advisory
capacity to the County Exemption
Boards. This will be followed by
the appointment of advisory
medical boards in the counties.
While the functions of these
boards are primarily for the ex-
emption boards, unquestionably,
they will be of immense service
to registrants who are summon
ed to appear before the board
and who believe they have just
claims for exemption.
Halifax county's board consists
of Messrs. w. E. Daniel, of We'll
don; A. P. Kitchin, of Scotland
Neck; A. L. Clark, of Roanoke
Rapids.
