DEFENSE DEPT'S
NEW POLICY FOR
STUDENTS SET

The Secretary of Defense, Cen
eral Marshall, has announced a
new basic policy for enlistment in
the armed services by college stu
dents. The new policy was recon-
.mended by the Assistant Secre-
tary of Defense for Manpower,
Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, and was
concurred in by the Director Of
Selective Service, Major General
Lewis B. Hershey, and the mill
tary department. The policy is in
tended to prevent the waste to
the nation and the damage to the
educational system that is involv-
ed in having young men leave
school in mid-term because they
desire to enlist in the service of
their choice before they are called
for pre-induction examination by
their local draft boards.
Choice Of Branch Open
Under the old rules no armed
service would accept a voluntary
enlistment after a man had re-
ceived notice to report for his pre-
induction physical examination.
The new policy provides that stu
dents enrolled in colleges or uni
versities and thus automatically
entitled to deferment for the
schoo year in which they receive
their induction notice, shall be al
lowed, to the extent of available
openings in each service, to enlist
in the service of their choice at
any time in the two-months i'm
mediately preceding the final
month of their school year. AS in
the past, each service would ac-
cept enlistments only to the ex-
tent that places were open for
those who desired to enlist.
Under the new policy young
man called by Selective Service
during the academic year could
continue his studies and still re-
tain the right to designate his
choice of service by enlisting in
the period beginning 80 days be-
fore the termination of the
school year and ending 80 days
before the termination date.

REV..W. B. PENNY VISITS
FRIENDS OF OLD CHARGE

Rev. w. B. Penny, pastor Of the
Spencer Memorial Methodist
Church, Charlotte, was visitor
during the weekend to old friends
in Belhaven, Pantego and SHADES
vile, whose Methodist Churches
he served as pastor in 19Ss-4O.
Among others he visited the 2.
T. Fortescue family in Sladesville,
and j. L. Lancaster in Belhaven.
Mr.. Penny's present church has
700 members, and the congrega-
ton is engaged in a campaign
to raise a quarter million dollars
to erect a new church.
He was greatly impressed with
changes and improvements that
have taken place in this section
since his departure, and which he
said appeared to be for the bet

would not call the students to
duty until they had finished
their school year.
General Marshall emphasized
the importance to the nation of
maintaining a vigorous education
al system and eliminating the un-
settled conditions that have devel-
oped on many campuses as a re-
suit of large-scale enlistments by
men who wanted to enlist before
they received their Selective Ser
vice calls. At the same time that
the change in enlistment policy
was announced, General Marshall
urged college students enrolled in
the Army, Navy, or Air Force
Reserve Officers Training Corps
to make every effort to complete
their courses as a patriotic duty.
The Selective Service Act defers
from induction under it's provis-
ions during all their college years
selected ROTC students who sign
agreements to accept commissions
and to serve a minimum of two
years on active duty in the mill
tary service for which they are
being trained. General Marshall
stressed that all ROTC students
who successfully fulfill the train
ing and physical requirements are
assured of commissions in the Re-
guIar or Reserve components of

ROTARIANS HEAR
A GERMAN YOUTH
ENGELHARD THUR
Nineteen Year Old Hans
Haardt Is Student in En-
gelhard High School

One of two German boys at
tending school in North Carolina
this year proved a mighty inter
esting speaker at the Engelhard
Rotary Club Thursday night. He
is 19-year-old Hans Haardt, born
in Hesse, near Frankfort, Ger
many, who came to Hyde County
in June under student exchange
plan, and is now living in the
home of Columbus Cutrell, of
Middletown.
The other German boy in this
state is Siegfried Koegel who is
at Summerfield in Guilford Coun-
ty.
Hans is a lad of unusual apti-
tude. He has learned to speak En-
glish since arriving in America,
and expressed himself well on his
feet. Principal s. D. O'Neal of the
Engelhard School rates him a.
mong his very best students.
Hans told of life in Germany,
before and after the war, of rural
activities and farm work, of the
schools, which he said were oper-
ated more strictly than in Amer
lea, but that he liked school here
better. He said he hoped to return
to America to make his home, and
that he was preparing himself for
an agricultural life.
The Cutrells look upon Hans
and love him as one of the fam
lily.

TRAFFIC DEATHS
EQUAL DEATHS
IN ALL us. WARS

A new Unknown Soldier-"GI-
X"-will soon fall on a Korean
battlefield as the millionth sol
der to die in all wars in US.
history, should hostilities continue
there with heavy losses, the AS
ISOLATION of Casualty and Surety
Companies says.
The death of "GI-X" is expected
within the next few months, 176
years after the first Minute Man
died in the Battle of Lexington
on April 10, 1775. 1t will precede
by only a few months the death
of "Victim X" his unknown ci-
william counterpart, who will be
the millionth person to be killed
in U. S. traffic accidents since
1900. With traffic deaths also
nearing the million mark this
year, the Association expects
"Victim X" will die next Deem
Der if street and highway fatali-
ties continue at the present high
rate of $4,000 a year.
"GI-X" may be killed during
the spring or even sooner if KO-
rean casualties become heavier,
according to the Association.
Military deaths in all Ameri-
can wars, including Korea,
reached a total of $4,000 near
the end of January, it said. At
that time the 5O-year toll of
traffic deaths topped $4,000, or
$4,000 fewer than the aggre-
gate of all war deaths to date.
All US. wars had cost 100000
lives when the Korean action
started last June, according to
Department of Defense reports.
During the first six months of the
Korean war, 5000 Americans
were reported dead of all causes.
Continued heavy us. losses since
December have edged the total of
all war dead closer to the million
mark, with 1903 confirmed deaths
reported as of January II. "GI-X"
will die when that total is nearly
doubled, the Association said.
Both "GI-X" and victim K"
will remain unknown, their iden-
titles buried in a maze of statis-
tics. Both deaths will be signifi-
cant, historically, however, partic-
ularly since they may occur in the
same year, the Association said.
1t pointed out that while an unex-
pected truce or evacuation of us.
forces from Korea might delay the
death of "GI-X," an intensive
highway safety campaign in 1851
could save enough lives to post
pone until next year the expected
death of the millionth traffic vic
tim in Accident K"
Autos More Dangerous
The Association added that al
though the total of us. military
deaths from all causes is slightly
higher, automobiles to date have
killed far more than twice the
number of soldiers killed in action
since ITS. Nearly third of all
the nations war dead are account
ed for by nearly $4,000 deaths
from disease in the Civil War a
mong Union and Confederate sci
diers. This total, although huge
is 500 less than the 284,300 traf-
fic deaths which have occurred
since Pearl Harbor.
Comparing war wounded witt
traffic injuries, Julien H. Harvey
manager Of the Associations &C,
cident prevention department
provided a more striking con
trast. He estimated that between

Uncle Rays Corner

During my boyhood I read a book
called Men of Iron" This volume
was about the Middle Ages, and it
told of knights in shining armor.
Those knights were clothed in
iron when they took part in joust-
ing matches or fought in battle
That fact probably gave the idea
for the title to the author, but I
believe he also had something else
in mind; the men of those days
were supposed to have strong bodies,
and Tin some cases, at least) iron
wills"
In one way or another, the word
'iron" has been applied to men for
many centuries. To this day we
may say that man has an iron
constitution" when he has proved
able to go through stress and strain
and keep his good health.
It is safe to say that the knights
of the Middle Ages knew nothing
about the iron they were carrying
|around inside their bodies. If some
one had told knight that he had
iron, real iron, inside as well as
outside, he probably would have
supposed that he was hearing the
talk of an insane person.
Now we know that people have
a bit of iron in them. We hardly
can say "the more of 1t the better -
but certain amount is needed for
good health.

There are several variations OF

sion.
A double of a slam, freely bid

him to make some unusual" OPEN
ing. 1t specifically asks him not to
open a suit bid by himself or BY
you. If your side has not entered
the auction, partner is then re-
queSted not to open an unbid suit
Problem Easy.
In other words, he is asked tc
lead a suit bid by the opponents
other than the trump suit itself
After the doubler of a slam bid has
a void suit and his partner Can
usually guess where the void is by
reviewing the bidding and looking
at his own hand.
The double frequently suggests,
but does not demand. a lead of the
suit first bid by the dummy hand
The problem for Mr. Dale in to-
days deal was easy Mr. Masters
double eliminated diamonds as an
opening. That suit had been bid
by the defending side and could be
considered a normal lead.
Clubs were also eliminated. as
that was an unbid suit. The double
always eliminates a trump lead from
consideration, so nothing was left
but spades.
To strengthen this decision.
spades was the first suit bid by
dummy. So Mr.. Dale opened the

and cashed the ace of clubs for the

People can get enough iron from
their everyday food. Eggs provide it

EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF
CANCER IMPORTANT

Some people are so afraid Of
cancer that they don't like to
think about it, not even long
enough to learn few simple facts
which might some day save their
lives.
1t is only natural that people
should dread cancer for they have
seen it take the lives of beloved
members of their families or dear
friends. What most people don't
know, however, is that many of
those loved might be alive today
if they had only known the early
signs of cancer and had gone to a
cancer detection clinic or to their
doctors sooner.
Most cancers can be cured when
they are small, before they have a
chance to grow large enough to
choke off or break down vital
parts of the body. That is why it
is so important for every one to
go to their doctor or clinic at once
if they notice any one of the fol-
lowing signs which may mean a
cancer: any sore that does not
heal; lump or thickening, in the
breast or e. sewh ere; unusual
bleeding or discharge; any change
in a wart or mole; persistent in
digestion or difficulty in swallow
ing; persistent hoarseness or
cough; any change in normal bow
ell habits.
Remember, caiscer can be cured
if discovered and treated early,
Do not wait until you experience
pain before having an examina-
ton.
