MODEL-The State Museum
for several weeks now has had a
30-foot model of the u. S. S. North
Carolina. Built by Liggett and
Myers Tobacco Co., the replica
was given to the Naval training
setup at Duke University. After
the pre-boys finished with it, the
University donated it to the Mu-
scum. This is the first notice of
it's appearance in the Museum,
however, for ditto has been in
the throes of general recondition-
ing for six weeks and Director
Harry Davis knew he could not
look after the crowds who would
be in for inspection.

FOOD-Some of the food you
will eat within the next several
months has taken a long trip in
deed. It's like this: The Army
bought thousands and thousands
of dollars worth of all sorts of
food items - preserved, salad
dressing, salmon, etc.-and sent
them to the Aleutians, to Alaska,
to a dozen distant points. Now
much of this stuff is being re-
turned and is being sold by the
Army for civilian use.

More Orchids to Mrs. Moore!

This week we give orchids, or
any finer bouquet, if there be such,
to Mrs. Ivey Moore, President OF
the North Wilkesboro Woman's
Club. One of the pleasures of be-
ing a district officer is that you
really get to know so many club
women and the work they are do
ing. When we visited the North
Wilkesboro club this week, we
had an opportunity to see first
hand, much of the splendid work
and results that have been achieV-
ed by the club under the capable
direction of Mrs. Moore. Besides
several other phases of public
welfare and war service, Mrs.
Moore has taken an active inter-
est in the sale of war bonds and
Red Cross work. In addition to
her home and her children, she al
ways finds time for her church
work. And one of her neighbors,
Mr.. D. J. Carter, of the Carter
Hubbard Publishing Company,
tells me that she is also an excel
lent cook! Mrs. Moore's husband
is on submarine duty in the Pa
cific area. It is real inspiration
to know some one who can carry
on here at home while her hus-
band fights for freedom.

Breath-taking Beauty

There is something about the
Jumping Off Place that never
fails to inspire us; but we must
admit that we have even been a
little fearful of it when it was so
covered in fog we could scarcely
see any part of it. The other day,
when the fog lifted and the sun
touched it's crystal coat of ice,
here and there, it was a sight for
poets to dream about. Every tiny
twig and leaf shone with trans
parent glitter.
With all of it's beauty, it was
pretty cool reception for the
first day of Spring!

but there are hundreds moro who are
ready to do their share at a moments
notice, the volunteer firemen.
To all of these valiant men, we of the
Greyhound Lines pay sincere tribute.
We're proud of these fellow-citizens-
thankful for them, too. And we feel we
have at least one thing in common with
them. They're fighting hard to improve
the safety record of our State and so
are we. In these tense and busy days,
we feel that Greyhound, in providing
safe, convenient transportation between
this community and its good neighbors,
is also playing its part in making North
Carolina a safer, happier place to- live.

lilo DELEGATES ASK
HELP FOR THE JEWS

New York City (ILNS).-Worker
delegates to the recent International
Labor Conference at Philadelphia
urged action for the immediate rescue
of victims Of Nazism, in declaration
made public here by the Jewish Labor
Committee, IT'S East Broadway.
The declaration asks the govern
ments of the United Nations to repeat
the warnings to the Nazis that they
will be held strictly accountable for
their crimes against innocent people,
and it urges that the remaining Jews
in Hitler controlled Europe be recog-
nized as prisoners of war.
1t asks that Palestine be kept open
for Jewish immigration and urges that
free ports be established in the demo-
cratic countries to provide shelter to
refugees escaping from the Nazi coun-
tries until such time as they will be
able to go back as free men to their
liberated native lands.
Robert j. Watt, American Fedora
tion of Labor international represent
ative and workers representative on
the U. S. delegate to the ILO, was
one of the signers of the declaration.
