THE LOST BATTALION

May | urge every member of the
American Legion and all ex-service
men in Watauga County to see this
great production. To see it will renew
our memories of the great war and
bring about closer ties of comrade-
ship. Through the courtesy of the
management of the Pastime Theater
half the proceeds will go to the ben
eft of the local post of the Ameri-
can Legion. Again let me urge every
ex-service man to be present and to
advertise the picture among your
friends.

The State wide primary measure
will come up this week but if prece-
dent is followed, the politicians will
choke it off. The North Carolina
League of Women Voters is against
the Neal report bill and this organi-
zation may have better luck in the
fight to retain the primary than they
did with the Falls Australian Ballot
Bill in the House last week.
The big financial measures are yet
to be enacted. These out of the way
will be a signal for the exodus of
members which will not be easily
checked. The going is likely to be-
gin on next Monday.
