May Register For Draft

About 10000 residents of Mont
gomery County will register on
October 16 under provisions of
the Conscription Act, according
to estimates based on figures
released by the Army Navy
Selective Service Board, which
will conduct the draft.
OF this number about $500
men probably will be available
for military service at once, but
only about one out Of each IL
or IL will be needed to fill
Montgomery's quota for the
first draft, making a total Of
about 270 likely to. be called
for the initial training period.
These figures are based on
the Selective Service Boards
estimates which place the num-
Der of men in the entire coun-
try who will have to register
on October 16 at 1880, 900.
Of this total, the board esti-
mates further, about one-third
will be available for military
service after eliminating those

ents or exempted for other

when she's calling the rest of us

her Nancy; shouldn't she call him

Hayes pertness, as always, won
smile of appreciation from her
grandfather.
Certainly she should" His crisp
answer dispelled my last doubt on
the matter, but the CLEAN in Cary's
gray eyes brought the hot color
into my face. What fool I was to
allow myself to get into such a
tangle!

took out my shorthand notebook

quietly.
Although surprised, I replaced
the notebook, leaned back in my
chair and waited for him to begin.

Now I waited eagerly for his re-

could be.
Before speaking Cary's grave
eyes scanned each face in turn. He
seemed to hesitate to express his
thought; but he finally leaned for
ward in his chair and, in lower
more impressive voice, said:

I could tell them who that one

Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERlLL.

Raleigh, Dec 30.-in view OF
sponsorship by the Junior League
one Of the smoother Of Raleigh's many
snooty organizations, it is well that
it be explained that the inaugural
reception of Governor j. Melville
Broughton is going to be a truly
democratic (With small "d") affair
to which the public is cordially well
come
Of course the box seats at the
auditorium on the night OF January
9 are going to be sold at $3.50 q
pasteboard, with the receipts going
to the Junior League for its charita-
BILE activities; but other admission
charges will be so small as to be
termed nominal.
Raleigh's news men have for once
attended an affair right after their
own hearts. It was their own in
formal dinner for Governor Clyde
R. Hoey Sunday night.
There were no tuXedos or tails,
no master of ceremonies to crack
over-ripe jokes, no speaker to bore
them oteth lShruld shrdlu shrdlu
them to the point Of tears and, best
of all, plenty Of good steak to chew
| on.
There has never been a governor
quite so universally popular with
the newspaper men as Clyde Hoey,
say veterans like Tom BoSt who have
known them for the past two de-
;cades.
A scrapebook faithfully and en-
Enthusiastically kept by the governors
daughter in-law, Mrs. Clyde Hoey,
Jr., is going to be one Of the most
valuable historical documents III
North Carolina one of these days.
The governor has sent his clip
pings to his sons wife and she has
carefully and lovingly arranged them
in four big scrapbooks-one for each
year of his administration.
That preacher who got into an
argument with the North Carolina
Board Of Health year or so ago
with charges that many young Tar
Heels are using marihuana never did
say whether he was talking about
the female" or the male Of the
weed.
1t appears from the Uniform Mar
cotic Drug Act, which will likely be
introduced in the General Assembly
next month; that there is a difference
between them and, as in many other
species, the female is more deadly.
Outlining reasons for amendments
to the uniform act embodied in the
present version, the Interstate Com
mission on crime said:
"They (previous acts) covered only
the female plant; and while, as it is
said Of the human species, the fe-
male of the species is more deadly
than the male, the male species of
the marihuana plant is also dan
gerous. This has been recognized by
the federal government, the federal
narcotic act specifically covering
both the male and the female plants.
Hence the amendment of the present
uniform act to cover both the male
and the female marihuana plants
and their derivatives"
The "Three Rs" Of the coming
General Assembly are likely to be
Revenue, Referendum and Re-op-
portionment" and they are the three
rocks upon which the legislators are
