Mr.. and Mrs. Walter D. Carey,
former Ell Centran- row living in
Lynwood, recently received a letter
from General Douglas Macarthur
in which the famous fighter ex-
pressed his sorrow because of the
death of their son, Corporal Leon
arc H. Carey.
Corporal Carey was killed in &C
ton while fighting a suicide attack
by Japanese marines on Wake Is
land on last May 20. The Purple
Heart was awarded posthumously
to the soldier hero who served I'M
der General Macarthur.
The letter from Macarthur said !:
My deepest sympathy goes to you
in the death of your son, Corporal
Leonard H. Carey. His service to
his country was characterized by
his devotion to his duty, and in his
death we have lost a gallant COM
rade-in arms. Yours faithfully, Cen
eIal Douglas Macarthur"
The former Ell Centre resident
was 25 years of age when he was
killed. He had been in the army
two years. The soldiers father was

years, moving to Lynwood a year

0ST-WAR PLANS
FOR YOUNG FOLKS
ARE DISCUSSED

RALEIGH, April 20-O-Mem-
bers of the North Carolina confer
ence for social service continued
to-day their discussion of postwar
planning for children and youth,
bringing to close the second day
of a three-day annual meeting.
| Speakers on tonight's program
were Guy B. johnson of Atlanta,
| director of the Southern Regional
Council, and DR.. James E. Shep-
ard of Durham, president of the
North Carolina College for Ne
groes. The Rt. Rev. Edwin A. Pen
lex, chairman of the state inter-
racial commission and Bishop of
the Episcopal church, presided.
Speaking at the afternoon gen.
eral session, Felix A. Grissette, ell
ecutive director of the State Plan
ming Board, said that one of the
boards greatest functions after
| the war will be in the coordination
of various activities in the mental
hygiene program.
''There are more than half a
dozen state agencies interested in
the same mental hygiene problem,
and the best illustration of the
value of an agency such as the
planning board is the way in which
it can cut across the various lines
of work to bring unified plan of
procedure and responsibility" he
asserted.
George S. Stevenson of New
York, medical director of the ma
tional committee for mental n.y.
giene, was special consultant for
panel discussion at the session.
Sherwood Gates, national direc-
tor of community war services for
the Federal Security Agency, told
the conference that character
energies from every intimate COM
munity relationship and for that
reason the whole community plays
a part in developing and educating
YOUTH
children demand adventure and
interest and it is the responsible
lily Of their elders to see that they
are furnished these needs in a
wholesome and challenging way"
Others appearing on the pro-
gram included DR.. Carl V. Rey-
nolds, state health officer; State
Senator H. P. Taylor of Wades-
boro; Mrs. Raney Stanford of Dur
ham, member of the state hospi-
tails board of control; Dorothea Do
Ian, of the Childrens Service Blu
reau, Charlotte; R. Eugene Brown,
secretary of the state mental by
giene society; and James Hillman,
| director of the education depart
ment's professional service di-
vision.
Tornorrow's closing session will
| be devoted to hearing reports of
committees named to study special
fields of planning for youth. Rec
concentrations will be made con-
corning recreation, education,
health, industry, rural life and the
relation of children to certain
available services.
A business session will, be held
at pm, at which officers will be
elected.

state highways are operated.
Is. Auditing facilities of the
state should be increased in order
to provide adequate and exhaus-
tive audits of the expanding pro-
gram Of state expenditures. '
II. Labor should be adequately
represented on all state commits
sions dealing with problems that
in any way affect labor.
10. Postwar construction should
be so devised that the public build
ing activity will be carried on
when it will be most helpful in
providing employment and main.
tanning purchasing power. Approx.
al is given the state planning
board in studying plans for cush-
loning any shock which recover
sion may bring.
10. Benefits to war veterans
should include: opportunity fol-
veterans to continue their educa-.
ton where they left off when they
joined the services; providing ia
cilities for veterans to learn {
trade or a business which will
prepare them for livelihood wher
the war ends; postwar construc.
ton program to aid and assis
veterans in getting jobs; trained
assistants who will work with vet.
Grams to see that technicalities ane
red tape do not deprive them o:
benefits to which they are entitled
and for which provision is made
by the federal government.
20. Taxes ought to be reduced
The state should not collect more
revenuessthan ars needed to pro
vide a stable, prudent and pro
gressive government. In these ra
pldly changing war times no one
can predict with certainty what
may be expected. The state must
not jeopardize full support oil
schools and social services by au-
thorizing tax reductions which
may bring financial improverish-
ment of these activities or nee.
essitate a return to land taxation
If business continues at the pres.
ent approximate levels, the mkt
general assembly should adopt all
possible tax reduction.

Unless there is a late killing
