BURGALIZING SOLDIERS
CABINS

A number Of cabins that are
owned by soldiers who are now in
the service Of their country have
recently been broken into and ar
ticles taken, says Sheriff Baney.
This is an unusually nefarious act
in view of the fact that the owners
are away fighting their country s
battles and the least that can be
done for them is to leave their
property intact. Sheriff Baney has
asked that an appeal be made to the
patriotism of those who have been
light-fingered with soldiers prop
erty with the hope that the prop
erty will be respected hereafter.

Presence Of
jap Workmen
Anglers Many

A great deal of bitter comment
was heard up and down the streets
Saturday because of the appearance
here of several .Japs in section
crew on the Great Northern rail-
way The comment was so inimical
that Sheriff F. r. Baney and Chief
of Police Bryant both called on Sta
ton Agent Boyes and insisted that
the Japs be removed from this dis
trict.. The matter was taken up
with higher officials and the trans
fer was soon made.
Recent publications of atrocious
treatment OF. American war prison
ers by the Japanese has created a
very bitter feeling among a. Large
number Of people, especially those
who have members of the family
fighting in the Pacific They just
could not be quiet when members
of the enemy race were holding re-
sponsible jobs in this neighborhood
It is understood similar sentiment
has existed in other towns in this
district and others have also re-
fused to- permit japanese section
men to work in their neighbor-
hoods.
1t is said that the Japanese who
were in the local crew are Ameri-
can-born citizens and two or three
of them are university graduates.
Their employment on the railroad
was the outgroWth Of conference
between high railroad and govern
ment labor officials. Be that as it
may, many consider their employ
ment not only Objectionable but also
highly dangerous in work SO r.
sponsible as the upkeep of rail-
road. 1t is held that while many Of
them may be loyal, the fact that
some of them may be enemy agents
is too much of chance to take.

~ North Carolina Federation
of Wonen's clubs is an organlza-
ton that does not stop with resolu-
lions and endorsements OF worth
While movements and projects. 1t
hacks up it's resolutions with prac-
+ica1 positive efforts. Having
adopted promotion Of teaching OF
tho Bible in the public schools as
major objective, the Federation
is now ready to help with the most
serious phase of the problem,
namely, providing teachers who
are adequately prepared.
Commenting on the recent &C
ton of the Federation in its efforts
To do this, the State Council OF
Churches, in its official bulletin,
said: 1.-THE most thrilling an
nouncement which has been made
recently regarding the weekday
program of teaching Bible comes
from the State Federation of Wom-
ems clubs. Mrs. J. M. Hobgood,
chairman Of the Federation's COM
mittee on the Sallic Southal Cot
ten Loan fund, has revealed that
the Federation is ready to offer
financial assistance to teachers
and those preparing to teach in
this field. Ten scholarships of 500
each will be available for this pur-
pose to those who meet the re-
quirements set up by the Fedora
ton. In addition, teachers may ap-
ply for loans amounting to as
much as $3.50 for the first col
1egiate year and 5000 for each OF
three succeeding years.
1.-The most serious problem now
facing the teaching of the Bible
in the public schools of North Car
DINA is that Of securing adequate
ly prepared instructors for this
work. Therefore, this splendid con-
tribution of the Federation helps
to meet serious situation just in
the nick of time. Officers and
members of the organization are
to be congratulated upon their wis
dom and foresight in thus promot-
ing character education among the
yough of the State"
Mrs. J. O. MacClelland of Max
ton. chairman of the department
of Education in the Federation,
with the full support of the presi-
dent. Mrs. j. Henry Highsmith,
has acquainted the clubs with the
simple and effective plan that may
be pursued in arranging for the
teaching of Bible in the public
schools. Few projects adopted by
the Federation have made such ap-
peal to the clubs. and at the end
of Mrs Highsmith's administration
next June, she is hopeful that
every club will have done some
thing in its community to promote
the plan.
Reports coming in from clubs
show that many are preparing to
spread cheer at Christmas, partic-
ularly to patients in Army hospi-
tails. The Sylvia Twentieth Century
