Each school has been asked to bring
an exhibit A basket ball game will
be a sporting feature of the fair
between Hazlehurst and Crystal
Springs schools.
From a recent check up by j. c.
Oats, the war food assistant in
the communities in the county that
the victory spirit has spreaded and
an unusual number of victory gar
dens are in view. The splendid lead
ers of the communities are respon-
sible for the cooperative spirit of
those who took the idea to keep a
year around garden.
The plan for other conservation
practices will be the next months
theme among the All clubs of our
county We hope to see our boys
develop the spirit of how easy it is
to formulate their own rural plans,
use what the rural districts offers
and know that they can contribute
as much by farming as the person
who is working for wages in fac
tories, war plants and other cities.
There were Is homes visited in
a certain community where the av-
erage of canned fruits and vege-
tables were $50 jars per in fam
lily.
Our intentions are to keep up the
spirit that the All club represents.
All reports from the various COM
munities are still good.

The SIS. MONDAY
Is Christened Here

The S. S. MONDAY, 145th vessel
to near completion at the yarG
of the North Carolina Shipbuilding
company, was launched Wednes-
day morning at 1880 o'clock I'M
der the sponsorship of Mrs. E. K.
Bryant, of Wilmington.
Mrs. Bryant was selected for the
honor by her husband, who was
given the privilege Of selecting a
sponsor because - his exceptional
attendance and efficiency record
as an employee of the yards Steam
Engineers Department.
Her attendants were Miss Alice
Elaine Bryant, of Wilmington, and
Mrs. w. c. Smith, of Acme.
Like all CO type ships now being
built here, the S. S. MONDAY is
named for an American clipper
The original MONDAY was built ir
1855 by Fernald and Pettigrew, at
Portsmouth, N. H., for Henry Hast
ings, of Boston. She was a fine
looking ship a carried only one
skysail, the main.
On her maiden voyage, under
m m n d of Captain William
Blackler Gerry, the MONDAY sail
ed from Boston, October II, 1855,
and arrived at San Francisco
March 4, 1856 in passage of 139
days. The MONDAY completed
three other passages from eastern
ports to San Francisco, being lost
on the fourth when about to take
her pilot near the Farallon Islands.
On January 1, 1868 the MONDAY
was approaching the entrance to
San Francisco harbor, 1879 days out
from Boston, weather clear, sea
smooth but with a long swell on,
the ship under all sail to mainsky-
sail and topgallant studding sails
and making nine to ten knots.
When about eight miles west of the
north Farallon, she struck a rock
but glided clear. The shock was
not sufficient to carry away any OF
the spars or rigging. However, her
bottom had been stove and she i'm
mediately started to fill. Captain
Henry and his crew had only time
to save a portion of their effects
and take to the boats before the
ship sunk in 40 fanthoms. 1t ap-
pears that the rock which caused
the disaster was covered by 18
feet of water; it's existence was
known to pilots but it had not been
charted; it subsequently received
the name of MONDAY rock.

Mrs. Layton Is Named
PART City-County
Probation Officer Here

Mrs. J. c. Layton, at present en-
gagged in part-time social work
with the Sorosis club, and for Is
years a member of the social force
in Lynchburg, Va, was named as
part-time city probation officer, to
deal with delinquent girls, by the
City council Wednesday morning.
Prof. Layton has been in Will
mington for three years. Her ap-
pointment was recommended by
J. R. Hollis, county welfare super
intendent and chief probation Of
ficer. Her experience In juvenile
work is said to be broad.
Mrs. Layton will join a force

L. Vow, a full-time Negro officer

She thought her boy was pretty
young to be going into combat
but she knew he'd be good sol
der.
She seemed to want that above
everything else. when I get him
off alone she said, TN going to
tell him that when he gets scared
20 remember the things his Dad
has taught him through the years
and to act in such a way that
his Dad would be proud of him. .
DELIVERS RING
Then she talked about his girl.
He had called his girl long dis
lance and asked her if she would
wear his ring and the girl had
said Eyes"
So Nom and Dad were going to
bring the ring back with them.
She said they thought the en-
gsgement was a good thing, even
though the kids were young. They
would be older before they could
be married. And she thought it
would help them both through the
period of separation to be for
mally'' engaged.
Parents such as these don't need
any pep talks about keeping up the
morale of their sons.
If their boys aren't good SOL
diers, it certainly isn't the par
ents' fault. Not when they ask
first that their boys stand the test
of battle. And when they are un-

their boy has a girl waiting for

Soft Woods
In Stripes,
Suit Favorites
By EPSIE KINARD

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Sof.. is the
word for spring suits, which make
news when they step out in stripes
and checks as lively as all OLD
time river-boat gamblers, ane in
colors as eye-catching as par
akeet's plumage.
Chalked striped wool, usually as
conservatively styled for women S
suits as for bankers, violates all
the old rules. Sometimes the stripe
is red, not white. Sometimes, it's
on brown wool, not on the usual
gray or navy.
Often they're combined with sol
i'd colors, to create the effect of q
daEdy's dark and Light clawhan m.
mel suit-as in the red-striped,
brown tropical worsted Getaway
jacket worn with solin brtwr
skirt, featured in showing 81
srling fashions at the Waldorf-As.
loria recently.
Another of the seasons most
striking suits is a Honywo d.de-
signed three-piece:, which teams
up a slim skirt Ct chalk-stEiped
gray flannel and wa;stcoat to
match with a solid gray jacket of
a darker hue.
In both of these suits stripes are
h1l-d up in unexoected ways-di-
agonally, UP and down, and across.
Sometimes they run one way on a
skirt and another on its jacket.
But the cleve.: manipulation of
them adds immtasura ole interest
to WPB-regulated styling.
Suit colors which aren't tradi-
tional navy, brown, gray and beige
are apt to be brilliant-like tan
gerine, yellow, green and hacien-
da rose. Designers seem to have
no inhibitions when it comes to
marshalling three colors as bold
as these into one suit against a
background of navy, brown or
Black.
Newest innovations are the
ST. cller suit with the hip length
boxy jacket and the dressier, fit
ted cardigan suit. Not new but
SID very much a fashion favorite
is the brief, snug jacket suit as
easy to wear as a dress and as
SHINING to the figure.
This seasons suits owe much of
their femininity to the fabrics
soft woods and wool mixtures
which hug the figure and drape;
crisp "silks," such as polished al
paca and faille which lend them
selves to tailoring. Open darts,
pleated and buttoned-in fuilness
and open necklines also bring suits
over to the feminine side. And so
does such dressmaker detailing
as decorative buttons, braid, lapel
ribbons and splashes of eyc-rivet-
ing embroidery.
