lief Association, announced today

NEW YORK BY AIR DAILY

High Point - Approximately
S60. 900 pairs of hosiery are being
shipped by air daily from North
Carolina to New York as direct
result of the trucking strike in
that state.
Manufacturers, faced with the
truck strike in New York, ar
ranged to have hosiery shipped
from the Greensboro High Point
Airport from Mount Airy, Thorn
asville, Asheboro, Ramser, and
other nearby centers.
The recent project, involving
a daily air shipment of 10000
pounds, has led officials Of the
Lone Star Air Cargo Lines, Inc,
of Dallas. Texas, to investigate
the possibility of arranging for
the eventual establishment of an
air freight terminal at the Greens
boro-High Point airport.

bet that the nap will soon wear
off.
Still holding the blanket to the
light, study the underlying
weave. For good construction
yarns should be smooth, even,
regularly spaced, and fairly close
together. Check, too, to see that
the blanket is cut straight, with
the ends parallel to the crosswise
thread.
Many blankets wear out before
their time because they are too
small for the beds they are used
on, say the textile specialists. A
blanket should tuck in at the
foot and still come up well around
the neck. Otherwise, the sleep
er will tug at it and weaken the
fabric. For a double bed, choose
blanket at least II by "a inches;'
for a single bed, at least 63 by "a
inches.

Parkway Areas
To Close Soon
For 40 Season
Roadway To Remain Open;
Warnings About Forest
Fires Given Public

The Blue Ridge Parkway pic
mic areas at Cumberland Knox
near the Virginia line, and Bluff,
near Laurel Springs, are closing
on October 81 for the 1916 sea-
son, G. B. Lilies, district ranger,
announced this week. Visitors
desiring to use these areas are
urged to plan their picnics prior
to October 81.
The motor road will remain
open through the parkway in both
Virginia and North Carolina and
visitors may travel the parkway
all during the year.
Visitors to the Parkway are
urged to be careful with their
fires, whether campfire in the
parks or whether smoking while
travelling. The forest fire season
is approaching and fires are dan
gerous. All picnic fires should
be properly extinguished when
the visitors are through with
them. It is suggested when trav-
cling in cars, cigarettes or other
burning tobaccos should not be
thrown from the car because OF
the danger of starting forest
fire along the road.
Those people walking along the
road or on trails should be care
full to see that their cigarettes or
other tobaccos are dead out" be-
fore disposing of them.
Lets keep the forest green by
using every precaution to prevent
forest fires" Ranger Lilies urged

Timely Hints

On cold winter nights, nothing
can beat sleeping warm" under
a good blanket. And this is one
article in such good supply that
homemakers shopping for blan-
kets may find a number in the
stores from which to choose.
To help those buying blankets
to get the most for their money,
textile specialists offer these sug-
gestions. Read labels carefully.
If the blanket is marked wool"
the label must give the exact per-
centage of wool fiber. AS rule,
the more wool the warmer the
blanket. It takes at least Is per
cent wool to make much differ
ence in warmth, or to give any
of the characteristics of wool
blanket, such as fluffiness, elias
ITCHY, and ability to absorb mois-
ture without feeling damp.
Sometimes the label gives ad
ditional information, such as the
breaking strength of the length
wise and crosswise yarns. For
most purposes, high strength of
the crosswise yarns is the more
important of the two. Since these
yarns are soft and loosely twist
ed they are apt to be weakened
by mapping.
The label may also tell the
weight of the blanket. In choos-
ing between blankets of the same
size and fiber content, the heav-
Ter one contains more fiber and
therefore is usually the better buy
at the same price.
Before buying a blanket hold
it up to the light and inspect the
nap. Thick mapping adds to
warmth, because the fluff forms
little air pockets that act as in
sulators. But be sure that the
nap is even all over. Do not
choose blanket that shows thick
and thin in spots. Some blankets
are over-napped. If a gentle pull
on the nap loosens it, it is a safe

minutes after the first explosion,
rounded up 1000 Jews by mid
night and 1913 suspects who lived
near the scenes were detained for
further questioning.
Time bombs planted near the
road blocks accounted for three of
the explosions, police said, but the
fourth bomb was thrown at SOL
diers stationed near a check point

WE REALIZE how eagerly you are
Wv awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet
you have ordered from us, and we want to
pass on to you the latest information received
from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even
though that information isn't too encouraging
at this time.
It is true that Chevrolet leads all other
manufactures in total production of
passenger cars and trucks from January
through September 1916, despite the fact
that Chevrolet was out of production entirely
during the first three months of this year. 1t
is also true that Chevrolet has continued to
maintain it's lead in total production during
the third quarter of 1916. And yet production
is still running far below desired levels, with
the result that Chevrolets output of cars and
trucks through September 1916 was only
1870 of the number produced during the
corresponding period of 1941.
This means it may take many months for
the Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak

fill the unprecedented demand for this produce

and, for the present at least, there just
aren't enough Chevrolets to 60 around, much
as we wish there were.
However, we want you to know that new

numbers possible today. The Chevrolet Motor

ARLINGTON HIGH DOES NOT REPRESENT THE
MISSISSIPPI ENTERPRISE
BY Willie J. Miller

In answer to number of inquiries that have
from yaroS merchants and business men Of the city Willie
]. Miller and editor of The Mississippi Enterprise
wish with emphatic mo- the question: rs Ar
rington High working for The Mississippi Enterprise
It that Arlington High, who few months ago
released from the Federal Penitentiay Atlanta Ga,
and who recently picked by officers both in
Jackson and in Laurel Miss and charged with collecting
under false pretense, has recently been
soliciting business places OF Jackson representative of
local Negro paper.
Some merchants have said that High contacted them in
the interest of The JACKSON ADVOCATE, Percy Greene,
Editor Other information has come to us to that effect and
which, true feel is entirely the business and concern
of Mr.. Greene and High Although we hardly believe
the Advocate would hire High under circumstances not
after the criticized for hiring him shortly after
his release from Federal Pententary in 1913.

the methods that learned High was using to pro

white and especially by white officials that he doing

for the Jackson Advocate that's his and Mr. Green's affair

ects in jackson whatever program he promotes
that's the affair OF High and those persons who give him
money

to know that ARLINGTON HIGH DOES NOT REPRESENT

NOT want anybody, colored white, to give him ONE

555th Parachute

handed by General Courtney H.

Airborne Division under command
of Major General E. G.. Chapman,
at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, will

chute battalion in the Army and
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1946-01-12

commanded by Captain James H.
Porter Of New York City will join
the famed 82nd "All American
Airborne Division in the parade up
Fifth Avenue.
The 82nd will represent all Amer
lean soldires who fought in World
War II in Europe 1t will also re-
present the evolution of warfare
from almost exclusive ground fight
ing to a fusion of air and ground
combat.
Airborne fighters of the 82nd saw
action as members of the 18th, l0lst
and 82nd Airborne Divisions. They
are veterans of the invasions of
Sicily and France, the air landing
at Nijmegen, Holland, and they
helped to stem Won Runstedt at
Stavelot, Belgium. They entered
combat by truck and foot as often
as they did by air. Most of the
paraders, however, will be men
drawn from other divisions to re-
place those men of the 82nd who
have since been separated from
the service.
The 555th has never been over
seas, but it enjoys an equally uni
que place among combats units of
the United States Army World War
II.
Activated as a company under
Captain James H. Paorter (then
lieutenanD at Fort Benning, Geor-
gia, in December 1913, the unit was
composed of specially selected Ne
G rovolunteers. In 1914 the unit be-
came Battalion in strength and
was SO designated. During this per-
iod the Battalion in conjunction
with the Troop Carrier Command
underwent training that developed
them into polished, efficient,
fighting organizations.

War Department to be alerted for
