Since the creation of the State
Bureau of Investigation in 1887, we
have been privileged to respond to
many requires from the sheriffs,
police departments and various
other law enforcement agencies
throughout the State. During the
past year, approximately 500 in

by the agents of this bureau, CO.
operating with all of the law en-
forcement agencies both local and
statewide. In many cities and
towns in North Carolina during the
war emergency there has develop
ed most substantial contribution
to better law enforcement in the
organization of auxiliary police.
This movement has done much to
stimulate the interest of large
groups of our local citizens in the
prevention of crime and apprehen.

Army's Eyes Of Plastic
Better Than Glass 7 we,

WASHINGTON-lRi-At more than
a dozen hospitals throughout the
United States, the Army has set up
special technical shops whose sole
job is manufacturing and fitting
plastic eyes-the war-born develop
ment which has proved to be great
ly superior to the oldtime glass
eye.
Before the war, virtually all glass
eyes used in this country came
from Germany and supplies of these
are nearly exhausted. Military doc
tors say the plastic eyes are SEEM
ingly unbreakable and, unlike their
predecessors, are not damaged by
acids contained in the secretions
from the eye socket.
G. l. Wearers rate them so high.

ASSOCIATE fTcSS IoAAS6A
Canada's parliament, after live
wears of war and with victory IN
sight, meets this week amid great
public debate over the etfectlVe-
ness of the CONSUMPTION policy I'M
der which her army has been nult.
Prime Minister Mackenzie King
has the situation under control Tor
tn. present, at least, but the coun-
trv remains split wide open and
it is plainly up to him to prove
his policy is right.
The Prime Minister, "in the pub
lie interest,"" advanced the meet
ing of Parliamt It from Jan. 81
to Nov. % so tat the problem
could have an airing, and there
is talk than a general election may
be held.
Canada's overseas army is vol
untee army. Consc1ipts may not
be send abroad unless they wish
it. Draftees who do not volunteer
are put in a home defense army,
which has averaged approximately
10000 men.
Around these men, derisively
called "Zombies" Gin Haitian voo-
dooism zombies are terminated
corpses lacking souls) there has
ragged j bitter argument between
English-speaking and French
speaking Canada, with the govern
side.
Kings policy was shaped with
an eye to the French-speaking
province of Quebec, comprising al.
most one-third of Canada's popu-
lation, with an historic tradition OF
opposition to fighting in overseas
wars. King believed that if the ar
my could be raised on his COM
promis. formula and French Can
ada could be kept happy, the coun-
try's overall war effort would ben
eft. This was based on an acute
Rwareness of French Canada's his
troy and traditions, on her nation
alistic outlook, and, in particular,
on her deep-rooted opposition to
CONSUMPTION. The very word, in
Quebec, has a special meaning
bringing a reflex reaction, dating
to the time when the French Ca
nadians were the only Canadians.
Actually, French Canadians are
proud of their war effort, and
French Canadians have fought and
died every bit as valorously as
their English-speaking compatri-
OTIS.
The lid was kept on this boiling
pot with relative ease during the
early years of the war. But with
the invasion of France, the mount
ing casualties and the need of re-
Inducements, the issue developed
into full-blown cabinet crisis.
Defense Minister J. S. Ralston,
after an extended trip among the
Canadian forces abroad, reported
a need for reinforcements and pro-
nounced his steadfast conviction
that the voluntary system is no

draftees are volunteering for over
seas service. We believe their
number can be increased by EN-.
phasizing anew the need and the
opportunity for overseas service.
1.-The voluntary system has not
broken down."
This Wasking's case. In many
quarters it was received as ade-
quate, but widespread opposition
remains.
The Montreal Star, the leading
Englsh-languagc daily in tn e
province of Gu b e c, declared
Kings statement has clarified the
issues which have agitated the
country" and 1.-The country must
rest content for the time being,
relying further on the Prime Min
ister's earlier promise that should
an emergency arise h 5 govern
ment will not hesitate to resort
to compulsion to support the Ca
madam forces overseas"
The Star, formerly an advocate
Of CONSUMPTION for service abroad,
expressed the view Of many by
stating that 1--WE believe it is now
too late to make the draft effec-
tive and that the Prime Minister
and the new minister Of national
defense must be given a fair op-
done by means of their alternative
plans"
And the debate goes on.

$500. This entire quota was taken
by the various chapters.
Requests for tray favors at the
camps and hospitals were assign
ed to Junior Red Cross organiza-
tons in the section. j. E. Leder
of Whiteville, council purchasing
agent, was authorized to purchase
$500 boxes for the Christmas gifts
for the hospital inmates, since 1t
was thought that it might be I'M
possible to buy G. I. sox tor
Christmas stockings similar to
those used last year.

members were served a turkey

The astute Mr.. King pulled a
ribbit out of the hat and announced
that Gen. A. G.. L. McNaughton.
the man who had built the Cana
dian army and probably the most
popular soldier In all Canada,
would take Ralston's place.
King thus solved the cabinet cri-
sis as such, but the issue remain.
ed. McNaughton declared himself
in favor of the voluntary system
and Said reinforcement figures
showed that we can safely count

there is danger of the situation
becoming acute" But still much
dissatisfaction was expressed IN

Furthermore, dispatches TT o m

indicated rising resentment. ne
ports, however. poorly founded:
spread that the home army would
be mustered out first.
In this situation King addressed
the nation by radio.
First of all, King disclosed that
of $4,000 men at present enrolled
in the home army, 5000 are on
extended leave, leaving an effec.
tive strength OF under 6O,00O.
Then he struck directly at n e
source Of much of the friction over
CONSUMPTION, t h conception that
most of this 'Zombie' army was
French-speaking.
Here pause, he said to correct one
sion about the draftees. OF the co.
600, only $4,000 are from the prov
ince Of Quebec, and only $4,000
from all Canada are French-speak'
ing"
King also assured that the gov
eminent would follow the prin-
ciple that those men who have CIV
en- the longest and the hardest ser.
vice will be given the first op-
portunity of rehabilitation
In defense of the voluntary sys-
tenn, King said:
From a purely military stand
point there is no argument that
It is preferable to reinforce a vol
untary army with volunteers. The
military authorities report that en-
listing gives the draftees a new
outlook, new self-respect, and de-
termination that comes from hav-
ing made a great decision. That
is bound to make them better SOL

has been said that conscripted men
would be received without enthu-
