In other major labor develop

FLOWERS and shrubs have an al

commanding general of the Ma.
rine air base at Cherry Point, ex.
planned to members Of the Tar

ness-lmcheon meeting yesterday
afternoon at the American Legion
home.
Substituting as main speaker for
Maj. Gen. Mitchell, who was called
to Washington, D. c. to be deco
rated for military services, Major
Malloy discussed with members
the planned beautific alton of the
naval hospital grounds at Cherry
Point, which was endorsed by the
council and its executive board al
the. last meeting.
The Identification project Of
this council is of much interest to
US at the Point continued Nal
10y. when Maj. Gen. Mitchell ar
rived at Cherry Point last July
he contacted the State and they
put on fine program of beautifi.
cation around the post. Because
Cherry Point is aviation and
most of our enlisted strength is
specialized, we have no available
men to spare on a project of this
type. The Navy does not allot any
funds for identifying the grounds. -
I'VE have just as many patients
in the naval hospital now as we die
during the war;" Malloy said, ano
in closing his talk said, to have
the hospital grounds colorful with
flowers and shrubs would build q
moral value that is indescribable. ~
Mrs. J. T. Little, chairman Of
the council, presided at the meet
ing and told the members that the
council would remain active.
Miss Daisy Mashall, Red Cross
representative at Camp Lejeme,
asked the council for Is Protective
books, which is a device attached
to the bed of the patient whereby
he is able to read books, without
the use of his hands.
Miss Marshall also requested
new records and magazine SUBJ
scriptions.
W. M. Boice, representing Co.
lumbus county donated fifty dol
lars towards Protective book and
Mrs. G. A. Ives, Duplin county,
gave the balance necessary for a
book. Onslow and Brunswick coun-
ties also donated one book each and
Mrs. R. B. Page, local chairman Of
the council, also donated one book.
Major Malloy, on behalf Of the
base, donated three books.
A motion was made and carried
to send five dollars each month to
the Red Cross at the naval hos
pital for new records.
L. F. Foy, Field Director OF
American Red Cross at Cherry
Point, told the members that there
was no Day rooms on the field
where the men could 60 to write
letters or read.
A motion was made and carried
that the councils furniture at Camp
Davis be moved to Cherry Point
to be used in the future day rooms
there. .......
The banquet tables were beauti-
fully arranged with large flower
arrangements Of red gladioli and
white chrysanthernums placed in
silver bowls. On each side OF the
arrangements were single white
tapers in Silver candleholders.
