Duke Hospital Has Heart Attack Wed- nesday Afternoon Fol- lowing Operation; Fun- eral Held Here Friday. Funeral services for Mrs. R. L. Turnage were held from the home Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. A. L. Chaplin, pastor of the Ayden Methodist Church. Mrs. Turnage died suddenly of a heart attack Wednesday after- moon at 4 o’clock at Duke Hospi- tal following an operation. News of her death late Wednesday af. | ternoon was a shock to her friends in Ayden as it was not ‘thought she was in a serious condition and was expected to have only a minor operation. She was the former Miss Bon- nie Ormond, only daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Y. T. Ormond of Kinston, was 54 years of age and had been married 29 years. Surviving besides her husband are one son, Roy Turnage, Jr., two daughters, Mrs. Brice Mc- Cay of Childersbury, Ala, Miss Lois Ormond Turnage, who has been in training Hospital, Durham. The business houses of Ayden were closed during the funeral out of respect for the family. The huge floral offerings were a symbol of the love and esteem in which she was held in this sec- tion of the State. Active pallbearers were O. C. Stroud, S. M. Edwards, T. G. Worthington, Ralph P. Hardee, J. J. McClees, B. G. Taylor, P. R. Taylor, A. W. Sawyer.

W. Earle, Manager Wood and Land De- partment, North Carolina Pulp Company, Plymouth, North Carolina, said today. “We may not have the huge war plants that you find in large manufacturing cities,’ he con- tinued, “but we do have an es- sential war industry that is just as important to the war effort as the production of planes, tanks, and guns. It’s the cutting of pulpwood. “Many of us, because of age or family responsibilities, are un- able to join the actual attack on pupe Axis in Europe or the South Pacific. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a hand in winning —and shortening the war. Our country needs every man, some of them for fighting, but.the ma- jority to keep the combat troops supplied with supplies in good condition and on time. “That's where pulpwood comes in. Without the thousands of military products into which it is imade, our boys would be severe- ly handicapped. With an abun- dance of it, our boys will be able to do their job effectively and quickly. They will lick the Axis and be home sooner if we do not falter.” Reciting the slogan of the {newspaper pulpwood drive for November 11 to December 11, Mr. Earle said: “Cut a cord of pulpwood for every local boy in the armed ser- vice means more than just an ap- peal to patriotism., It is an op- : - . of the|Portunity to back up that boy ; Lang of Farmville._ equipment, and It may even save his life. with supplies, cd.

Over five thousand have been cared for and trained. Its ‘graduates and former pupils are in all walks of life and there is no record of a former pupil hav- ing been convicted and sentenced for committing a major crime. It is the oldest Orphanage in the State and receives children other than those of membership of the supporting order. At the present time less than fifty per cent of the population of the Orphanage is of Masonic parentage. The home possesses valuable buildings, grounds and equipment and has had no oper- ating deficit for several years. The annual budget of the Or- phanage calls for an expenditure of $170,000.00. This provides shelter, clothing, and food, re- creation, heat, light, books, school supplies, health program, _ staff of trained workers, vocational training in several departments, laundry, repairs and upkeep to grounds, buildings and equip- ment, and experienced casé work for a family of 3138 children. . Superintendent C. K. Proctor announces that the sum of $10,- {000.00 is needed this year for operating expenses in order to balance the budget. The Oxford Orphanage is more than a philanthropy—it is an in- vestment in the lives Carolina boys and girls who would not otherwise have chance.

From the Office of the Post- master General, Frank C. Walker, in Washington, comes this request to the Public and to business houses to aid in meeting a Postal Problem that is far more serious than ever before: that of hand- ling the Christmas Mail. “There is only one solutionto that prob- lem,” Mr. Walker urged, “Christ- mas gifts generally must be mail- ed in November.” “This year,” continued Mr. Walker, “November is the time for mailing Christmas gifts and cards. Gifts should be marked, ‘Do Not Open Until. Christmas.’ There can be no assurange, in view of the unavoidable handi- caps of war, that gifts and cards mailed in the weeks immediately preceding Christmas will be de- livered on time. Such matter must not impede the movement of war materials and personnel and military mail.” The Postmaster General stated that “We have handled the Christmas parcels for our Army forces overseas. We now face the tremendous task of receiving, transporting; and delivering on time the vast volume of Christ- mas mail for our people at home. “Transportation facilities are heavily burdened. The number of railway cars and -airplanes for handling Christmas mail is far below that of former~ years. Facilities simply are not available, to transport and deliver, in the last three weeks before Christ- mas, the tremendous quantities of mail that we heretofore muved in that period.” Mr. Walker stated further that ance, but after lying there for ional Coffee association.

One way we can pay our respects to the Japanese and German warlords is to cut ‘a cord of pulpwood for every boy in the service and thus give them a double-barrelled discharge from America’s two battle-lines—the fighting front and the home front.” ; MEAT The WFA has announced that an individual may slaughter meat for home consumption without a license or permit if he is entitled to consume the meat point-free.

This year we must rely largely upon women and high school boys and girls, who cannot work long hours or at the high speed of experienced personnel. “The only way, therefore in which deliveries of Christmas mails can be made on time is by spreading the mailings over a longer period so that available transportation equipment and postal personnel can be used dur- ing more weeks.” In asking for the cooperation of the public, Mr. Walker said that today* the Postal service is delivering a record-breaking vol- ume of mail in addition to the handling of the wartime and military mails which is a huge task in itself, and with the fur- ther mountainous Christmas mailings coming along, the pub- lic is hereby advised of the prob- lems and the public’s cooperation is essential for suecessful de- livery of the mails. “last year,’ Mr. Walker con- cluded, “at the urging of the postal people the public did start its mailings earlier than usual, but the early volume was small. ‘There was a deluge of later mail- ings. Many people who did not mail within the time specified by the Post Office | Department learned to their regret that their friends did not receive the cards and gifts until after Christmas.” Postmaster W. C. Ormond, stated that ample stocks of all stamps and other postal supplies necessary for Christmas mailings are on hand at the local Postof- fice, and urged the public to join in the request of the Postmaster General for early mailings of all Christmas Gifts and Cards.

They are now in the fifth year of the war and are showing outward signs of exhaustion. Despite rigid censorship and well directed propaganda it is very evident that all is not well within the borders of the Fatherland. There is one way to get a pretty good idea of how the Germans feel, in imagination place ourselves in the position the Germans are in. We can realize how they must feel when they know their country’s armies heivel and destroy his initiative. will come to him through congenial contacts. Discipline, it is claimed, will break his spirit ~ The theory has had a few years try out and the results can be noted in the increased youth delinquency, the establishing of more juvenile courts and the enlarging of the re- formatoriés. The whole plan is an injustice to the child. He will enter a stern world when he grows. up and should be trained to meet it. It is due him to teach him to do difficult and : unpleasant tasks and to submit to restraint| and discipline for such is necessary to free- | dom.

The river boats with their cargoes move in this current because it affords depth and volume for their support. The water on the edges of the stream is usually shallow, sometimes eddy | with no certainty of movement, and lacking in depth and volume. Just so the midstream of society is its middle class of people. It is they who fur- nish the momentum and power for the carry- ing on. They are the current without which there would be no certain movement, no momentum nor depth nor volume. They are the country’s strength.

They know that their former ally, Italy, has surrendered and is now engaged in fighting them. Such - an accumulation of causes will Have their logical and pschycolo- gical effect. The German people after all are human and they also are intelligent. They know their cause is a lost one and the longer they resist the greater will be their suffering and the heavier will be their losses. This is no prograstication but undoubted- ly the signs point to-a German crack up. of war materials. In. times of peace as well as war they do nearly all the world’s work. They are the bulwark of the common sense, common honesty and courage that the _coun- try needs so much in times of stress. The gratifying progress of the war is due largely to the poise of the common people, who regardless of party affiliations, have re- mained steadfast while agitators and publi- city seekers and politicians have sought to create dissension and thus far they have per- mitted no scisms to divide them in their ef- forts to win the war. This nation’s strength is in its hard-fist- ‘ed, level-headed middleclass of people.
