Nearly so high school seniors in
New Hanover and adjacent coun-

the Navy via the new Navy
oeferment" plan, which enables
i7-year-old seniors to volunteer
for the Navy and finish school.
Recruiter Jesse Helms, petty
officer in charge of the Whining

Saturday that the new program
had met with instant approval OF
parents of high school boys, be-
cause it will make graduation pos

ordinarily would have been draft

Any high school senior, 17-years
cid, may volunteer for the defer

teer will be sent to Raleigh for his

the recruiter said, he will be plac.

JONES IS SERVING
IN GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, Jan. g. Up Bobby
Jones has returned to the scene
of some Of his greatest golfing
triumphs, but this time as a maj
or in the U. S. Army Air Forces.
Assigned as intelligence officer
with a fighter unit, Jones said,
I'm certainly glad to be here;
I've been trying for a long time
to get here or some place closer
to the war"
Jones, who will be AZ in March,
said he had been fighting the
battle Of the fighter command up
and down the eastern seaboard."
A member of the officers re-

he won four major golf cham
pionships, he entered the air
forces as a captain in June, 1912,
and was promoted to major at
Mitchell Field last March.
This is his first visit to Eng
land since 1886, when he stopped
off for a couple of weeks OF golf
on returning from the olympic
games at Berlin.
1.-THE country looks different but
I guess it hasn't changed as much
as Berlin" he commented.
Golf, incidentally, is out for the
duration as far as Jones is con-
cerned, but after the war he said
he might like to play some cours-
es in England and Scotland that
he had not seen for years.

Why God
Permits War!

Why does God permit war? Why
does He permit cruelty, injustice,
pain, starvation, sickness and
death?
Thirty years ago, in Forbidden
Tibet, behind the highest noun.
tains in the world, young Eng
lishman named Edwin, J. Dingle
found the answers to these ques-
tons. A great mystic opened his
eyes. A great change came over
him. He realized the strange
Power that knowledge gives.
That Power, he says. can trans
form the life of anyone. Questions,
whatever they are, can be an
swered. The problems of health,
death, poverty and wrong, can be
solved.
In his own case, he was brought
back to splendid health. He &C
quired wealth, too, as well as
worldwide professional recogni-
ton. Thirty years ago, he was
sick as man could be and live.
Once his coffin was bought. Years
of almost continuous tropical few
ers, broken bones, near blindness,
privation and danger had made a
human wreck of him, physically
and mentally.
He was about Is be sent back tc
England to die, when a strange
message came-'"They are waiting
for you in Tibet" He wants tc
tell the whole world what he
learned there, under the guidance
of the greatest mystic he ever en-
countered during his twenty-one
years in the Far East. He wants
everyone to experience the greater
health and Power. which there
came to him.

FOOD STAMP rLAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 H.
While no sign of a break appear

DELIVERS JEEP

LONDON, Jan. 8. -(P)- the
hard-pressed and eventually
defeated British garrison at
Leros got a laugh last fall, de-
spite their worries, when a
British submarine popped up
in the DOdecanes Islands har-
Dor with a jeep dashed to Its
hull. Dried out after its "a
hour submersion, the jeep
worked.
The incident was disclosed
today after the return to Bri-
tain of the submarine, the ROr-
quail, which won reputation
as the odd-jobs underseas ship
of the Mediterranean.
In addition to supplying Lee

GRAY LADIES NEED
MORE VOLUNTEERS

An urgent call for volunteers
who have the qualifications to en-
list in the Red Cross hospital and
recreation corps, popularity known
as the Gray Ladies, was issued
Saturday by Mrs. Vernon G. Avery
chairman.
The second course Of training 1or
this service in Wilmington will be-
gin Tuesday, January II, at 1880
am, at the Tide Water kitchen.
Volunteers must make applica'
ton at the Red Cross office at
the custom house before that time.
The abilities and personalities Of
the volunteers must be directed in
to the proper channels by course
of training in order that they may
give the best possible service.
Their trained service must in turn
be fitted to the need. Hence, the
training course which begins on
Tuesday will give special emphasis
to the needs of the patients at
the Station Hospital at Camp Da-
Wis.
The uniforms of the Gray Ladies
are attractive and becoming. They
consist of washable gray cotton
uniforms with matching veil and
white coronet. This uniform to
sick and convalescent soldiers has
come to be the emblem of friend
ly and helpful service, of encour-
agement and of cheer.
The number of Gray Ladies that
work at the Camp Davis Hos
pital is inadequate for the task
at hand. Even so, their service is
noteworthy. They provide many
kinds of helpful diversions for the
patients there. They teach and
play games with the convalescent
patients. They sponsor birthday
parties. For special occasions such
as Thanksgiving and Christmas
they provide fitting decorations.
They supply occasional short mu-
steal features or other entertain
ments that are much enjoyed by
the patients. They distribute and
select magazines and books in the
hospital.
To bring cheer to the wards the
Gray Ladies transport and arrange
the flowers which are so gener-
ously> donated by the florists OF
Wilmington. Potted plants are said
to evoke unusual interest on the
part of the men and much atten-
ton is given to their proper care.
Shopping for the patients is, per-
haps, one of the most helpful
services rendered by the Gray
Ladies. Before Christmas, this SER
vice took on large proportions.
Gifts for sweethearts, wives, chill
dren were duly selected, purchas-
ed, shown to the patients for ap-
proval, wrapped and mailed.
The opportunities of the Gray
Ladies to render a great service
are commended to all who are in
terested in joining this corps.
