CHERRY FAV0RS
VETERANS AID

IF North Carolina fails in the deli
cate and difficult task of readjust-
ing its 100000 service men and
women from soldiers to useful ci-
villains then this state will be set
back a full generation" said Gregg
Cherry, democratic candidate for
governor. in addressing an Ala
nance county rally of World War
l and II veterans here tonight.
You can't make soldier over-
night" said Cherry, who was cap
tain of a machine gun company
in World War I. 1T takes weeks
and months of rigid training. By
the same intelligence you can't
change a soldier into a civilian
overnight.
"When these men come home
from the war. only sympathetic
handling and treatment will re-
store them to their full civilian
status in busy and useful world"
North Carolina must provide an
adequate organization, Cherry
stressed, of service officers in
every county of the state to help
veterans and their families make
necessary adjustments.
1--WE must see these North Car.
Dina fighting men and women re-
established in employment and ia
self-respect," he said. Here lies
our most sacred obligation of the
immediate future"

PLANS TO HAUL
CROPS STARTED

The Wilmington District Office
of Defense Transportation yester-
day announced the procedure for
organizing Transportation Advis-
DRY committees in the Wilmington
ODT district to aid in planning
for the transportation by motor
truck of perishable or seasonal

After obtaining this information,
the District ODT office will call
meetings. of the producers, haul
ers, dealers and receivers con
cerned to elect Transportation ad
visory committees.
Upon approval by the Director
of the ODT's Division of Motor
Transport, the COMMITTEES will as
certain the motor truck equipment
necessary to move the perishable
or seasonal crops, Mr.. Musselmar
said.
He explained that the committee
elected within a district may make
recommendations concerning the
transportation of all perishable or
seasonal crops grown there, or il
it is desired, a separate commit
tee may be chosen for each crop.
The committees may obtain the
necessary information from the
War Food Administrations County
Farm Transportation Committees
Local representatives Of National
Farm Organizations, local repre-
sentatives of the VIA, State De
partments of Agriculture, Gamers,
packers, shippers and professors
In areas where motor Transpor
tation facilities are inadequate,
the ODT will act to remedy this
situation insofar as possible, Mr..
Musselman said.
The following counties are in the
Wilmington ODT District: New
Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus,
Fender, Onslow, Duplin, Craven,
Carteret, Pamlico, Jones, Samp-
son, Robson, Cumberland, Hoke,

leaders emerged from an apathet-

selling indicated the technical re-
action had about run its course
and that apprehension over mar
ket unsettlement which might ac-
company the big Allied invasion

issues throughout the week. 1t was
conceded, though, that the ap-
proach of 'D-day" was the prin-
cipal handicap for bullish forces.

PRINTING COMPANY NAMED DEFENDANT
Damages of $2,4OO Asked in Connection With
 Alleged Loan

Damages of $2.400 are sought by Joseph D. Boucher of Waterbury from Roland Sica, doing business as the Modern Printing Go. of Wa terbury, over non-payment of loan. The suit is one of five civil actions entered on the common pleas court docket today.
 The Bouch complaint states the defendant secuted promissory note for g, 150 on Jan. T. 1943 and agreed to pay $35 per month with per cent interest. The payments stopped Nov. ', 1943, the plaintiff states. The loan originally was made by the plaintiff and John Hayes, but the latter endorsed the note to the plaintiff, it is pointed out. The sum due is listed at $1.765 plus interest.
 Ann Zydiak of Waterbury seeks $2,000 damages from the Northeast Transportation Co.,, Inc, of Water bury for injuries sustained in a fall at 972 North Main street Jan. 25. The plaintiff claims water flowed from the roof of the premises to the sidewalk and formed into ice. 1n- juries were sustained to the nose, eyes, face, head. hands. legs and chest when she slipped and fell, the writ states. The concern is named a defendant as a tenant on the premises while the other dependant is listed as the owner. The property houses busses of the company.
 A $500 action was filed by Ralph Ortigiano of Waterbury against the City of Waterbury over grade lay out liens filed several years ago. He seeks to have the liens invalidated and the judgment of the invalida- tion recorded in teh land records of the city. It is alleged the liens were improperly retained after he ac- quired the property.
 The Colonial Trust Company. as administrator of the estate of Mar ion A. Munson. has filed $400 suit against Myra H. Nelson of London over an $500 loan made October 30, 1889. The writ states $50 was paid, leaving a balance of $500. An order for weekly payments out of earnings is sought.
 Nora E. Flanagan, administrative of the estate of Ellen A. Sayles, has filed a $500 civil action against John and Agnes E. Halloran of Water bury. The complaint, drawn up in the form of common count writ, lists debt of $369. Details of the litigation will be disclosed later in an amended complaint later.
