Security from war will be the
first concern of the women of the
American Legion Auxiliary in their
work during the coming year, Mrs.
Kathryn Royalty, National Defense
chairman of Laurel Unit, stated to-
day after receiving complete reports
from the Auxiliary's national con-
v%ention in New York last month.
The Auxiliary will continue to adj
vocate a greatly expanded national
security system based on military
training for all young men. The
national convention urged the call
ing of a special session of Congress
to consider security legislation.
When Congress meets again the
Auxiliary will work throughout the
country to make more articulate
public opinion favoring greater pre-
paration against war.
"Poles show that seventy-five per
cent of all Americans favor univer-
sal military training" said Mrs.
Royalty. We believe that this sen
timent is growing stronger all the
time as the insecurity of today's
peace becomes more evident. We
of the American Legion Auxiliary
are convinced that our country can
be secure only by being prepared
to meet aggression.
"Less fortunate countries of the
world are looking to the United
States not only for economic aid
but for protection against commun-
ism. We know that our voice will
be needed in the world only if we
are strong. Failure to maintain our
military strength will invite fur
Their communist aggression against
other countries which would bring
this menace closer to America and
our country closer to war.
"For many years to come our
country must carry a heavy respon-
sibility for the protection of peace
and freedom throughout the world.
This burden can best be carried bv
universal military training. With all
young Americans trained and other
preparations in order, no dictator
will be rash enough to begin an
other attempt at world conquest"

Crate Factory Is Community Project
Deeply Concerned With Local Progress

concerned with the progress of
Tabor City. During the war
when farmers and builders were
unable to obtain dressed lumber to
build their homes and packhouses
because of OPA controls, the D..
j. Hughes company managers went
to the farmers own woodlands
where they sawed, hauled to the
plant, thoroughly processed, and
returned to the farmers over 54O,-
900 feet of dressed lumber in five
years. Another 100000 feet were
processed, though not hauled by
the company's own trucks.
Through this service, farmers
and businessmen in the Tabor City
area were able to complete the
construction of important build
ines which were needed to store
essential foods for later shipment
to the battle fronts.
Because this assistance has been
continued, Tabor City has beer

CARTERe1
COLUMN
By w. HORACE CARTER

When my friend Willard Cole
told the merchants association this
week that he was handing in his
resignation as notwithstanding,
we didn't feel any too good about
it because Cole and yours truly
have been closely affiliated both
from business and personal stand
point since his arrival here.
To see him leave is about like
ones brother march off to seek
his fortune elsewhere. Yet, you
couldn't criticize even brother
for going some where that ne
thought he had a greater oppor-
tunity. Mr.. Cole has been offered
better opportunity and despite
the fact that we would all like to
see him stay here it seems that he
is completely Justified in making
4 change.
Probably no other man in Ia
Dor City'S history has made a
greater number of friends in ten
months here has Mr.. Cole. Coming
here last July total stranger, he
has met hundreds of people
throughout the area and fast be-
came one of the most popular men
m Tabor City.
His untiring efforts to make Ia
Dor City first in everything have
done much to take the town out OF
it's obscurity and put its name be-
fore the people, Much has been
accomplished since he took over
the reins.
One thing is for certain. He
is leaving Tabor City next month
with a friendly feeling surround
ing his departure and should he
ever desire to come back here in
some capacity or another, we be-
lieve that he will be greeted with
open arms. His enemies are few
or none. He has demonstrated
his ability to produce what he sets
out to produce.
Our best wishes will go with him
despite our regrets at seeing him
leave. And our complete coop
Grafton will be shown his success
