DRIVE FOR CLUB MEMBERS
LOCO Corn, Pig, Poultry, and Can
ming Club Members in Robson
is the Goal-Club Wanted in
Every Community.

One thousand corn, pig, poultry and
canning club members in Robson is
the goal for which Miss Lulu M Cassi-
dy, county home demonstration agent,
is working. Already around 400 club
members have been enrolled and Miss
Cassidy is mailing letter
to the teachers of the county urging
that they assist in organizing a club of
some kind in their schools.
An effort will be made to organ
ize either corn, pig, poultry or can
nlng club IN every community in the
county during the next few weeks.
Mr.. A. K. Robertson, of the State
Department of Agriculture, spent a
week here assisting Miss Cassidy and
is expected to return and further as
sist in the work. Mr.. Robertson is a
native of Robeson and naturally
wants Robson to make a record Of
which it's citizens will feel proud.
The banner club SO far is at Orrum
The canning club there has 46 men,
bers and there are already 25 men,
bers Of the other clubs.
Old ladies can join the canning club
as well as girls, and Miss Cassidy will
assist in organizing a canning club
at any place where there are as many
oS " "uO WISH 10 JOIN q cluD.
There are around ZOO white school
children in the county and there is
no reason at all why the four clubs
mentioned above should not have 900
members.
According to government statistics,
the farmers of the South have not
taken the interest in the club work
shown bypeople living in rural dis
tricts Of the North and West. An ef-
fort is being made, however, to get
the Southern farmers interested to
the extent that they will even sur
pass their neighbors in the North and
West '''>'
Miss Cassidy says she is going to
try to prevail upon each boy and girl
IN Robeson to raise enough foodstuffs
this year to feed starving child in
Europe. MISS Cassidy is urging the
act Of patriotism as we'll as from an
educational standpoint. "''

CHANGE OF STATUS
OF REGISTRANTS
Where Claim For Deferred Glass
ification Has Been Made Change
of Status With Regard to Oc-
cupation Should Be Reported.

Local selective sevica exemption
boards have received from the dis
trict board the following:
"To Local Boards:
"The local board of Craven county
has called the attention of the district
board to the fact that affidavits of
trial officials, in support of claims for
deferred classification because OF
agricultural or industrial occupa ton
embody pledge to report to the To-
cal board of origin any change OF
status with resuect to such occupa-
ton. but that other officials of some
few large industrial enterprises have
not made such pledge, and in fact
there is failure lin part) to make
the seemingly necessary statement
that the registrant is 'necessary,'
etc =
Mocal boards. under provisions OF
Sections 118 ard 118, s. S. R., are
charged with the duty Of keeping in
formed of the status of registrants ir
deferred classes, and in acting uDor
or reporting 20 tho district board q
change Of status. Several cases have
come to the attention of the district
beard in which change of status
occurred but which were not report
ed to the district board Negligence
to report such cases is fundamental,
wrong and should be corrected. "Al
olassifications are conditioned upo,
the continuing existence of the sta
tus of the registrant. which is thu
basis of his classification"
"In order to aid you in the dischare'
of this duty. the suggestion is mad,
that it might be advisable to reoues
superior officials" or "executives" O.
enterprises to make the statement i,
writing that change of status woule
be Immediately reported to the loca

: cent Of our citizens are to a create,
or less extent complying with these
propositions, and that a strong pa.
triotic spirit generally prevails. Oh
course, these conditions do not prevail
to the extent that we think they
should, but when the limited infor.
nation that has been furnished the
rural sections has produced such won.
derful results, we feel that if some
method could be adopted that would
reach and inform these sections il
would be question Of only a short
time when our people would rally al.
most solidly to any propositions that
mean the winning of the war for the
Allies Tor democracy and righteous
ness.
Important to Make Every Sacrifice
I'VE say this because we find that
IN proportion to the information and
education which our people have re-
celved along these lines, have thew
responded to the calls. We wish to
commend to the good, patriotic citi-
zens of our dear old county, the i'm
portance and necessity Of their max
ing every possible sacrifice for the
winning of the war as early as DOS
slble. Buy Liberty bonds, buy war
savings stamps, save and conserve

reefs. We know there are not snf-
1lclent funds for keeping all the pub
nc roads IN good condition, but we do
tino as our opinion from information
furnished us that a great part of
the road funds might be used mere
yuaiclously. Roads that have been

gone, IN many cases the roads would

Ersgglng and Working Roads and
Speed Limit.
We find also in MANY cases the
bridges are broken up and rendered
dangerous by running autonoh;les
over IT, them at a rapid and reckless rate,
we recommend that the laws in re-
gard to dragging and working roads
and as to speed limit of automobiles
be more strictly enforced. Accidents
are hanoening too frequently for our
authorities to allow these matters to
prevail unnoticed. We recommend a
compliance with the law in regard to
mile marks and sign boards. We
trust that our recently-appointed
county road superintendent will give
thesse matters such prompt attention
as the law directs. We especially
call attention Of rural policemen 10
their duties in the matter of reporting
to the. proper authorities the condi,
1lon OF roads and bridges in their re-
spective districts. We would further
call attention of road supervisors to
the fact that certain portion Of the
road funds are set apart for dragging
the roads, and urge that such use be
made of such funds.
