WAR BONDS A GOOD
WAY TO SAVE MONEY

Some of the measures President
Truman recommended are now be-
ing debated by Congress, but there
is one on which there can be no
disagreement said Clarence E..
Keyes, state director of the saw
ings bonds division. The President
put it this way:
Another effective eapon
against imitation is increased saw
ings by the public. Every dollar
that is saved instead of spent is a
dollar fighting against imitation. In
order to encourage additional saw
ings, the Government should inten-
sify its vigorous efforts to sell saw
ings bonds"
That statement needs no eXpla-
nation or debate; it only needs put
ting into action in every state, city
and county.
Fortunately, the United States
savings bonds division of the Trea-
sury Department has the nucleus
of an organization-less than one
fifth what it had during the Vic
tory Loan-to advertise and pro,
mote the sale of more savings
bonds. 1t has a small force in this
state to guide and service the vol
unteers who sell the bonds. The

Before that program ended in
February, 1947, Miss Craver began
to receive letters from teachers in
university art departments, asking
where they could get instruction in
silversmithing. So Miss Craver-

launch plans for a months working

time fumbled it away. Last season
MINIS, though actually taking the
championship or won-lost records,
was ruled ineligible. The year be-
fore the Wildcats, under the direc-

ed in third place, but almost de-
feated Durham, the champions,
twice. In 1914 q NHHS quintet lost
once again to a Durham aggrega-
ton, 36-35, in the last seconds OF
play. If they had won that year
Wilmington might have had thai
long sought after trophy. Yet they
didn't, and that's all the record
books show.
There was especially one MINIS
quintet that came closer than any
other to capturing the champion
ship. 1t was the Wildcat team OF
1913. which, though tying Durham
for the crown during the regular
