ed 20 also will register on June

The army and navy have been
urging voluntary enlistments of

No Extension
OF School Bus
Routes Possible
Result Of Tire And Gasoline
Shortages. Representa-
tive In County

No new school bus routes or
extensions to old routes can be
added for the 1942-43 school year,
Sam Horton, prin eiual of the
Cove Creek high school in Wa
tauga county and a representa-
tive of the state department of
public instruction who was in the
county this week checking over
routes with Supt. Hash, states.
In fact, every effort is being
made to reduce school bus mile
age and at the same time serve
the transportation needs, he said.
These regulations are the re-
suit of the nations shortage of
tires and gasoline.
In the mountain counties, where
bus service has not been expand
ed to maximum capacity due to
condition of roads, it is difficult
to effect mileage reduction.

Head COP Pledge

North Carolina Republicans in
the closing hours of their state

Republicans assembled last night
when Watt H. Gragg, mayor OF
Boone, and up until then one OF
the principal contenders for the
place asked for honor of placing
deLapp's name before the con-
vention. From then on everybody
rode the bandwagon.
The executive committee of the
Young Republicans, who met
late Monday named Mrs. c. Tur-
man Wall, of Greensboro, state
treasurer to succeed Colin G.
Spencer, of Carthage, who is 60
ing into the armed service of his

War Is Keynote AS
Democrats Meet
Major l.. p. McLendon Is
Feature Speaker At N. G..
Convention

Raleigh - War was the theme
of the biennial off-year North
Carolina Democratic convention
Friday.
The speakers based their topics
on the war, the attendance was
cut by war-restricted transporta-
ton facilities, and the convention
moved with a smoothness and u
itv of action that only war can
bring.
The keynote address by Major
L. P. McLendon of Greensboro,
was just what the delegates want
ed to hear.
Major McLendo~, asserted that
the American people had under
estimated the war job, but he
promised that the enemies of the
country had received only tok-
en- of what is to come in this
'twar to the finish-to the DEATH ~
Governor Broughton, in a brief
talk before the convention, re-
piled to Major McLendon's de-
scription of him as a ''great war
governor" by declaring. II did
not wish to be a war governor,
but my ambition is to be a VIC
tory governor"
Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh,
former u. S. ambassador to Mex
leo, who, along with Don Elias, of
Asheville. read the party plat
form, called the delegates to
stand in honor of another war
president, Woodrow Wilson, un-
der whom Daniels served as Sec
rotary of the navy in the first
World War.
Senator Josiah w. Bailey and
his opponent for the party NOM
ination to the Senate, former
Lieutenant Governor Richard T..
Fountain, of Rocky Mount, ming
led with the delegates; and such
party leaders as former Cover
nors Hoey and Ehringhaus, and
U. S. Representatives Bonner,
Barden, Folger, Cooley, Durham
and Burgin were able to get away
from private and public duties.
Senator Robert R. Reynolds re-
NAMED in Washington, and for
mer Governors Morrison and
Gardner were busy elsewhere.
In it's war platform, the party
pledged itself against increases
in state taxes during the conflict
and urged that nine-month
school term be provided for ev-
erv North Carolina child.
Full cooperation with the fed
eral government was promised,
and the party ruled out politics
for the war and invited members
of all parties to aid in solving the
state and national problems.
