Letters have been sent to Naval Re-
serve officers residing in the city. ask
ing them If they desire to be ordered
on active duty for service with the
Civilian Conservation Corps. The
letter from Rear Admiral J. r. De-
frees, commandant Of the Washington
Navy Yard, says that his office does
not know the location Of the camps
to which the applicants might be or
dered
Only those with the rank Of lieu
tenant, lieutenant Gunior grade) and
ensign will be permitted to avail them
selves Of the opportunity for service
Although no definite information has
been received, it was said that 1t is
probable that those from the Staff
Corps will be given preference, such
as civil engineers, physicians and
others with special training which
would fit them particularly for super
vising the work to be performed by
the men In these camps.
The ordering of naval officers was
urged by the Naval Reserve Officers
Association, who pointed out that there
were a number of such officers out of
work and that the duty should not be
restricted to those holding commits
sions in the Army Reserve. In view of
the fact that many of the officers or
dered to the various camps from the
Army Reserve were line officers, it was
said that it is possible that some line
officers OF the Naval Reserve might be
given these aSsignmentS
Although the commandant says that
he has no information as to where the
officers would be assigned If ordered
to active duty, the formal application
blank which accompanies the letter
contains part in which the applicant
may state the areas in which he has
a preference for serving.
The volunteer officers of the Reserve
do not have to attend drills regularly
and also do not have to participate
in annual sea cruises. so that it is
probable that the assignments will be
restricted to those in the volunteer
class, although 1t is also possible that
any Fleet Reserve officer who might
desire to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity Of serving with the civilian
corps might be permitted to do so and
at the same time be transferred to
the Volunteer Reserve. 1t is designed
to provide work for officers who are
unemployed.

Ghosts And COLLINS
Stalk Abroad In City

Halloween ghosts and goblin'
took the town last night!
Numerous parties were held over
the city and county.
All the pranks known to chill
dren were pulled with a vengeance
Main Street was a continuous
parade of creatures of many clothes
and %colors.
Thousands stood on the side
lines and got a kick out of the
procession.
Pumpkins, corn stalks, etc. etc.,
also played apart in the annual
celebration.
Why do people duck for apples
and roast nuts on Halloween? Why
do youngsters still carry out their
boyish pranks of hauling off the
Widow Jones' gate, lodging it on
the neighbours roof?
These customs and traditions
have their beginnings in the an
Gent pagan celebrations that &C.
Cured on what we call Halloween.
All Hallow Even, as it was or
|iginally called, was a hallowed OF
holy even.
Probably it was first celebrated
as an autumn festival. The ancient
Druids of England had a festival
that began at midnight on October
81 and lasted until November. 1.
They were a superstitious folk,
who believed that certain superna-
tural manifestations took place on
this night.
1t was commonly supposed by
them that Saman, the Lord Of
Death, or the Druids' Satan Caused
the condemned and wicked soul:
of people who had died in the pre-
ceding II months, to enter the
bodies of animals.
In order to keep watch over the
wicked spirits they built huge
bonfres, not only to watch them
but also to keep them away. In
some countries people still believe
that animals fear fire because they
contain the souls of wicked peo-
pie.
The Romans, too, had a festiva!

Report Hancock To
Seek Bailey's Seat

! cock was not personally opposed
TO Coan.
So also was it said hat Bailey
more or less ignored Hancock If
the naming of Jack Roach as dis
trict WPA administrator for the
Doughton- Hancock WPA district
and politicians have commented
quite a bit that Jim Rivers, former
Boone editor and "a resident of
Congressman Doughton's district.
got Roach's job when the latter
was transferred to Raleigh.
Hancock has been at odds with
Bailey on other matters and was
quick to protest lower tobacco
prices some weeks ago in a strong
message to Secretary Wallace.
Political w~iseacres here believe
that Governor Ehringhaus definite
ly has abandoned whatevef idea
he might have entertained in OPP
posing Bailey, and. if Hancock
opposes Bailey, they think the con-
gresham will not be hindered any
by the Governor, who, like Han
cock, has failed to see eye to eye
with Bailey.
Hancock is a confirmed sup
porter of the soldiers bonus, and
it is reliably reported he has been
given quite a bit of encouragement
by the veterans to oppose Bailey,
who declined to support the plan
tn nav the veterans.
