With both hands she pushed

They were farther from the river
than he thought; twice he stopped
to let her rest, and he had begun
to think they were h~opelessly
astray when he caught the well
come CLEAN of open water, and
with an exclamation of surprise
halted so suddenly that Janet gave
a quick gasp of fear. He motioned
across the river.
There, in place of the riotous
opulence of jungle growth, the
bank was lined with long, orderly
rows of gray-barked trees, extend
ing in straight, equidistant files. So
even was the spacing between the
trees that the tall, vertical col
umns formed a distinct checker
board of light and shadow that
stretched back until lost in the
hazy distance of the hinterland.
They had come out upon the IA
nous New Dixie plantations.
Thrilled with a sight that had
brought him so many miles, Cliff
forgot in that moment of disco
cry he was a hunted fugitive. Far
as he could see, up and down the
river rose the great forest giants,
rank after rank of them-native
rubber, hevea, the tree that had
made possible the quickened tempo
of all the modern world and had
almost lost a war!The lofty trunks
stood at the very peak of their
superb prime, clean of limb. with
thick, leathery leaves cleaning in
the early sun. That smooth gray
bark encased thousands of gallons
Of milk-white latex-the itch,
awaiting harvest of years c. sun
light, rain, and fertile soil. The
absence of underground, the we'll
pruled boles, told Cliff the planta-
tons had not lacked care, and his
eyes were lighting with profess
sional approval when a shout from
upstream recalled him.
"Wait here" he warned, and
crept to he edge of the bank.

DOG GOES TO DOCTOR

A German Shepherd belonging

hustled off to a veterinarian.
The following day Iden decided
to take the dog to the vet

other necessary care until he was

Usually it lures itself, but when
it is a sign of distemper, he IS
in danger of serious illness and
probable death.
How can you tell when it IS a
symptom of distemper? By taking
his temperature. If he has dis
temper, he will have a high fever;
if .pnly a mild cdld, he will have
little or no excess temperature.
You. can buy or order a canine

BUY A GOOD MUZZLE

In certain sections of the coun-
try. local ordinances have been Ell
acted requiring all dogs to wear
muzzles when they are off their
owners private property, Usually,
such a law is put Oh the books
during a rabies scare IN the com
munity. Sometimes, i, is lifted
when it remains in effect for a
long time.
If such a law is passed in your
community, don't try to save
money by buying an inexpensive
Or ill-fitting muzzle for your dog.
Forcing a dog to wear the wrong
type of muzzle is one of the worst
forms of torture to which you
can subject your pet. Many of the
cheaper varieties of muzzles have
sharp bits of wire or loose rivets,
which often inflict irritating cuts
and painful wounds on your dog.
So, if it becomes necessary for him
to Wear a muzzle, purchase the
best one you a find and make
sure that it is well made.

CAROLINA LEAGUE
SEEKS ; VETERANS

GREENSBORO, Nov. -. -tP>
= Directors of the Carolina
League, who convened here to-
day in a special session called by
President Carroll Brown, agreed
to oppose a proposed amendment
to National Association regula-
tons which would limit Class c
ball clubs to a maximum of three
veterans and a minimum of five
rockies. The amendment is sched-
uled to come back before the an
nual baseball meeting in Miami
the first week in December.
And at same time, the directors
indicated that in the event the
amendment was carried that nee
essary acton would be taken in
order to continue giving Carolina
league fans the same brand of
baseball which they had had dur
ing the Class c reign. This, I'M
doubtedly, would mean a jump
to Glass B ball, something that
has been brewing for some time
in Carolina league circles.

Red Devils, currently the high

place on the field of the Bladen
County school, with the kickoff
coming at 3 p. m.
Nine members of the Class A
champs of District A., will be
singing their swan song for their
Alma Mater in the clash with
the Jackets; eight of them being
members of the starting lineup.
Three star ball carriers in the
persons of Fred Soles, who
probably would have been
among the top scorers in our
state had he not suffered a
broken arm; Harold Ward, who
has been a demon since his shift
from an end position during the
season; and Andy (Gump)
Jernigan, the IT'S pound fullback
who was the. hero of the title

his consistent plunging; all will
be seeing their. final duty in the
Red trappings. =:
Others who will be bowling out
include Caruso's great guard
combination, Harold Rogers and
Sam Jackson; his dependable
tackles; v. R. Burroughs a n d
Don Williams; and both block
ing backs, Dock Herring d
Harold Fonvielle. Fred Sole
will probably see his career
come to an end from the side
as his arm is still in a
cast.

increase their Tar Heel scoring

WAKE FOREST, Nov. PIP
Coach Peahead Walker O.
Wake Forest may be tempted t.
start his second team against N
C. State at Raleigh Saturday.
It's not that Walker doesn't
have a healthy respect for State
which took a decision from the
Deacons last year, but in a scrim-
mage session here today the sec
ond team showed up better than
the varsity.
The two top teams scrimmag-
ed on defense plays against a
reserve eleven which was run
ming Wolfpack plays, and several
times the reserves managed to
break through for nice gains
against the varsity.
In addition to the defense
work, Walker continued to work
for an Improvement in the Dea-
cons running attack.
The Deacons will play Satur-
day minus the services of their
number two w~ingback, Carl Hag-
gard and Jim Duncan, starting
end, probably won't be in shape
for action against the Wolfpack.

One of the most informative
and interesting books ever re-
leased by a colored author has
just made its appearance. The
book is called "DEMOCRACY'S
NEGROES" by Arthur FUR. The
tile indicates the contribution of
Colored Americans to the per-
petuation of democratic prin-
ciples in this country, and their
application in other localities. The
contents bring out in a positive
and straightforward manner the
facts concerning that great con-
tribution.
Mr. FUR author, through the
good offices of Col. Campbell c.
johnson and Truman K. Gibson
became one of the official mem
bers on the War Departments
mailing list, which entitled him
to receive any and all news con-
corning colored seryicemen in
both the Atlantic and Pacific
Theatres of World War II. 1t was
fro mthis source that, the major
part Of his information was de-
rived.
'Democracy's Negoes' is free
from the contamination of racial
preiudices and intolepances or
any other form of depreciation.
The theme of this book is to
establish for colored Americans

The accuracy of that part of
