Spring Is Here
Spring is here!

Spring is here!
This year it means more, far more, than
the tra-la-la so often associated with it.
It means more than the packing up OF
Winter It means more than the warm
breath of friendly Sun that will bring
fields of green and flowers burgeoning
from the land.
This year, Spring brings grinnness as
well as beauty. Spring means that the
hour has come on Hitler's timetable for
launching a counter-offensive in Russia.
It means that the good earth in many
lands will drink blood of the best of young
men. It means that the rivers and streams
flushed with the melting of the snow will
also be tinted with red.
In America, Spring came officially on
March 81. The day was little different
from any other except that the sun peeped
out from the east at 7:16 and didn't go to
bed until 7:26, twelve hours and ten min
utes of sunIghted war time. And each
day will progressively get about two min
utes longer Until June "a when the pen

''This step has been taken at.
this time to facilitate the admins
trative duties of the community
committeeman" he said. with
the current shortage of transpor-
tation and labor, it is necessary
that committeeman be able to
contact farmers in their commu-
mites with greater efficiency but
with less travel"
He declared the community
committeeman would be charged
with greater responsibilities under
the new plan, and at the same
time would be able to be away
from their own farms for shorter
periods of time.
. Chairman Scott declared this
will be the only election of COM
mitteemen to be held in 1912, and
urged farmers to select commit
teemen who are willing to accept
the added responsibilities.
Following the election of COM
mitteemen, count" conventions
will be held for the purpose Of
electing county AAA committees.
These are composed of chair
man, vice-chairman. third

tion-station procedure
For several preliminary days,
at the reception center to which
we were next assigned, our sta
tus was a temporary one. We did
not know where we were
eventually to be assigned to.
During that period, however, the
army tried to find out everything
about us that. would enable us
to be fitted in where we would
be of the greatest service.
Anyway, that was the idea!

Lies Better Way
WALTER E.. ISENHOUR
Hiddenite, N. c.
THE NOBLER WAY

I'd rather teach a common truth,
Or write a simple song,
To bless and save our noble youth
From things that lead them wrong,
Than throw temptations in their way
That only curse and blight,
And get their money, day by day
And lead them far from right.
No one can estimate the harm
He does his fellow man
By reaching out a tempting arm
And leading all he can
Into the harmful paths of sin
And evils of the earth,
That holds them back so they can't win
The things of truest worth.

In I7be Local I heate1S
POlI's

Tonight is the last opportunity to see the mammoth stage and screen show at the Loew Poi theater. the stage show is made up of Al Dona- hue and his Orchestra, the band that has introduced as many of the smash hits as any of them, on the same show ard sharing the headline honors are the Charioteers, the worlds most famous quintet, who have been starred on the Broadway success "Hellzapoppin" and also are heard weekly on the Mutual Broad casting System. Then for added thrills there is Ray English; the 'fall guy" and what this rubber bodied comedian doesn't do in risking his neck has not been seen. He is abso- lute1y the last word in recklessness, with his neck, other superb acts round out a bill, on the stage that has everything. The screen bill of fare is a western epic, not one of the Shoddy western firm fare, but one that stars Lloyd Nolan, Donna Reed and a cast of other favorites.
 Friday brings another great dou- ble feature program that will de- light all. In the first feature of the program Irish" you will be treated to one of the best comedies of the season, with three of the funniest girls" of the screen in the leading roles, Marjorie Main, zasu Pitts and Aline McNahon, and the leading male role is in the capable hands ot Guy Kibbee.
 On the same program and shar- ing top honors is the dramatic tale of war correspondents, their trou- bles, escapades, trials and you are afforded a glimpse of the manner that the news is brought out to you through the censorship, the title oi this dramatic treat is Berlin Cor respondent" and in the cast that interpret the leading roles are such favoriteS as Dana Andrews, well remembered for his work in Swamp Angel" and Virginia Gilmore, one of the new stars who is rapidly forging to the front on the Holly wood horizon.

retire to his Connecticut farm where he thinks life can be free and easy. Virginia, however, chooses the lux urious, dancing life Astaire offers .her.
 Bing finds running a farm nc cinch. He decides to convert the place into an inn to be open only on holidays, so that he can have the balance of the year to himself He hires Marjorie Reynolds to helr him entertain guests.
 AStaire deserted by Virginia, tries to steal Marjorie from Bing to be his new dancing partner. Bing's frantic efforts to keep Marjorie away from his pal are hilariously funny.
 Holiday Inn" is urquestionably one of the most enjoyable musical films ever made. With songs and dances by Hollywood'S first song and dance men = Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire; with music by the na- tiou's number one melody man . Irving Berlin; with two new de- Ightful dancing dolls whirling with Astaire ~ Marjorie Reynolds and Virginia Dale, Holiday Inn" is un- qualifiedly recommended as the time-of-your-life movie it is.
 The second hit of the program is "Dr. Broadway" a real thriller with Macdonald Carey and Jean Phillips

STRAND

There have been few motion pie lures which carry such a stirring message of the war as Prisoner of Japan," currently at the Strand. On a small tropical island in the South Pacific a young American planter and ruthless and highly intelligent Japanese are pitted against each other in a battle of wits, each striving to serve his country. The part of the young planter is played by Alan Baxter, who learns through the cleaverness of Gertrude Michael, an American girl who has been running a dance resort in the islands, that Matsuru, Jap agent, played by Ernest Dor ian, has established a powerful and we'll hidden short wave station near his home. This station explains the fact that American ccnvoys have been attacked in that part of the Pacific with deadly effect. So as the guns roar and smash the deadly radio station that cost the lives of American seamen and destroyed val- uable conveys, these two young pec- pie with smiles on their lips, die in each others arms in the blazing glory of the supreme sacrifice that others might live. Others in the cast are Corrina Murina, the fam- ous singer; Tommy Siedel and Ray Bennett, in the role of U. s. officers.
 For tops in who-dood-i yarn '"The crooked Circle" with Ben Lyon, zasu Pitts and James Glea- son, is the second delightful hit.
 What promises to be one of the most diversified amateur contests, yet, will be presented on the stage of the Strand tomorrow evening at 8:3o o'clock. Strictly fun and entertain ment is the key note of these con- tests. Those desiring to enter may do so by registering with the Strand management.
