Registration is now open for
the new class in nutrition to be-
gin September 16 at the Rose-
dale club house, from 7:30 to
9:30. Miss Emma DuBord, county
demonstration agent will be the
instructor.
The newsboys of the township
have passed out registration
blanks to all their customers to
obtain new blood donors.
If you have not contributed to
this most vital war necessity, do
so now. Fill in the registration
blank immediately and return it
to your newsboy. Help him to
win five dollars in defense
stamps.
Not far from the war -boom
cities and the great naval bases
,of the eastern seaboard lies an
isolated section of North Carolina
which has been called our "most
vulnerable coast." Along the
North Carolina `'banks" from
Currituck to Carteret county,
fishermen and farmers go quietly
about their business under the
thread of war from the sea.
For here the war has been
moved in. Along the beaches,
constantly guarded, are Army,
Coast Guard, and Naval and civ-
ilian Air Patrols, while blimps—
flying inland over the lakes and
the marshes—scatter flocks of
wild geese and swan. On the
mainland, watch towers for air-
plane spotters are springing up
in increasing numbers.
Along with the war, the Red
Cross, too, has moved in. Away
from city chapters with their
manifold services, the Red Cross
is bringing timely instrution to
a population isolated by the na-
ture of the terrain. These sturdy
descendants of our earliest Eng-
lish settlers have had to help
themselves against wind, tide and
accident; now, those who have
learned about first aid and home
nursing can carry on with bet-
ter means.
Emergencies have always been
with them, apd few hardships
brought by the war are unknown
to these North Carolinians. Ships

Water Department
Given Priority
The Livonia. Water Department
which was organized in August
of 1940 for the purpose of extend-
ing water service in the Town-
ship has been trying for the past
year to get priorities on materials
for the further extension of lat-
eral mains in districts which are
thickly populated and in which it
is difficult to obtain wells.
A priority number has recently
Under orders of the township
board and the planning commis-
sion Building Inspector Luther
Whitely will start immediate en-
forcement of the Livonia Build-
ing Code and Zoning Ordinance.
Since the adoption of these two
ordinances many violations have
occured but it has been the policy
of township officials to treat the
cases lightly and give the viola-
tors a chance to correct their
wrongs. This policy hasn't proved
effective since violations are be-
coming more evident so it was
determined that strict enforce-
ment was the only answer.
Last week eight local residents
were called before the Planning
Commission and given warning
that if immediate action wasn't
taken on their violations that pro-
secution would be started immed-
iately. According to Whitely the
.violations are all of a different
nature.
Schools Ready
For Opening
The opening date for 'several of
the schools throughout the town-
ship will be of interest to both
parent and pupil as well.
Livonia Center, Rosedale and
Elm schools will all open on Tues-
day, September 7, at the usual
hour. Pierson school expects to
open on September 8, providing
their new unit is ready. All
schools in the township expect a
record enrollment due to the fact
that so many defense workers
have moved into this vicinity in
the past few months.

The opening meeting of the fall
season of the Women's Auxiliary
of the Rosedale Gardens Presby-
terian Church will take place on
Wednesday evening, September 3
at 6:30 p.m. in the church base-
ment.
This will be a pot -luck supper,

and told what they should bring
by their group chairmen.
After the dinner, there will be
a short business meeting, after
which Mrs. Howard Anderson,
who has spent many years as a
missionary in India, will speak.
As India is the foreign missionary -
topic for the year, Mrs. Ander-
son's talk will be timely. Those
who have heard her speak will
not want to miss this, and those
who have not heard her will tho-
roughly enjoy her talk.
Mrs. Irvin McWethy will be in

evening.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
'Anything new, Bert, on that black market
trial up at the county seat?"
"The jury came in 'bout an hour ago,
Judge. The verdict was' guilty.' I understand
the sentence is going to be a mighty stiff one."
"Can't be too stiff to suit me. Anything
those law -flouting racketeers get will be too
good for them. How they thrive every time
there's an opportunity to sell something
illegally instead -of legally in this country.
Just like the bootleggers did during the
14 years when liquc4' was sold illegally in -
Wad of legally.
"Unless this„black market in meat and
other commodities is stamped out and
stamped out quickly, Bert, we're in for an-
other dose of the crime, corruption and law-
lessness we had following the last World War.”

Mussolini's resignation and appointed Marshal Pietro Badoglio, center, as the new premier of Italy. Al-
though Badoglio announced that "the war continues," as he proclaimed martial law, he was never a member
of the official high ranking Italian fascist group which surrounded Mussolini. He has been known to have dis-
agreed with the former premier several times. Right: Benito Mussolini who took advantage of the unrest of
World War I to create a dictatorship and now finds himself overthrown by similar forces. in World War II.

ELECTRICI'TY
is a war material, too
s-�
use it careful
lyl
k
If you have ever seen a big Detroit Edison
power plant, you have probably noticed
the large piles of coal heaped outside.
Thousands of tons of fuel are required
every day to produce the electricity sent
out over a network of transmission lines
to factories and stores and offices and
homes. That is one reason why electricity,
is a war material. When you save elec-
tricity you save coal, and transportation,
and manpower needed for war produc-
tion.
i There is no shortage of generating
machinery in this area, and electricity is
not rationed. But—use it carefully as you
would any other vital war material. Pru-
dent, economical use of electricity is a
patriotic obligation today. Help conserve
electricity by reducing your use. The De-
J troit Edison Company,

Peaches Both
High and Scarce
This is one year when peaches
ARE PEACHES! Frequently in
past years growers in and around
here have sold peaches at
such a low price that they have
barely been able to pay for the
costs of their spraying.
They sprayed and cultivated
their trees this year—and then
the rains came—and now that
the harvest has started, there is
barely a fifth of the usual crop.
The result is that there are
practically no peaches on the
market and the prices have gone
skyward.
Peaches are selling anywhere
from $6 a bushel to $10 a bushel,
the highest price ever paid for
peaches in this part of the state.
But even at that price, the
1
peach growers are going to take
a big loss. as the small crops,
even at the high prices, are not
going to pay for even a .part of
the spraying costs, say nothing
about the costs of cultivating,
taxes and all the other things
that go into the costs of growing
peaches.
So if .you have a can or two
of peaches left over from last
.year's canning, you'd better save
them for next winter ---:and then
some winter day make your
neighbors feel jealous by saying
that ,you had some canned
peaches for dinner!
On his own, man is not an
especially fast creature—in the
water, at -top speed he swims 100
yards at the rate of less than four
miles .an hour, while some fish
travel at the rate of 80 miles an
hour; on land he can race 100
yards at the rate of 21 miles an
hour, while some animals do bet-
ter than 60 miles an hour.

Red Cross Notes
(Continued from Page 1)
shores, but for generations they
liave been acquainted with death
at sea. In peace time, as in war,
these counties have furnished a
large percentage of sailors to the
U.S. Navy, the Coast Guard, and
the Merchant Marine.
Scarcity, too, has always ex-
isted, aggravated now by war-
time needs. Remote from rail-
roads, with few bus lines and
with roads often made impass-
able by rain and high tides, the
inaccessibility of this land has
imposed on its inhabitants a
sterner, more frugal existence
than in populated areas near the
centers of supply. In Hyde and
Dare counties there is no rail-
road; in Currituck only one short
branch. Most of the food and
other provisions must be brought
to Roanoke Island from the
mainland.
As in other parts of rural
America, the most serious lack
has always been doctors, nurses
and hospitals; and this lack has
been rendered more acute by the
war. Roanoke Island is world-
famous as the home of the six-
teenth century "Lost Colony."
Yet one physician, Dr. W. W.
Johnston, serves the island and
the whole of Dare county as well.
Sometimes a pharmacist's mate
from a Coast Guard station is
called in for medical help. In
Hyde county there are only two
doctors, one health officer, no
graduate nurses. Near Coinjock,
in Currituck county on the In-
tra -Coastal Waterway, a white
flag is hung on the mailbox for
the doctor, and a red flag for the
nurse.
Into this breach the Red Cross
has sent itinerant home nursing
and first aid instructors. With
few means of announcing their
services—telephones and news-
papers are scarce—they have had
to promote the program in wide-
ly scattered settlements, often
driving a long route around. But
in rural areas the "grapevine"
works, and women came in from
farms and seashore. Here was
something which taught them
how to help themselves, and that
was what these people wanted.

War Bonds should mean
something more to you than

sionally in private homes. Stu-
dents dragged wood in carts to
feed the pot-bellied stoves. All
the classroom furnishings. had to
be collected -a chair here, a bed
there, and sheets, blankets and
pillows wherever extra ones
could be found.
With the knowledge they have
gained through Red Cross in-
struction, the natives of North
Carolina's shores are looking for-
ward to a time when lack of
health education and medical
facilities will no longer jeopardize
their lives in peace or war. To
these particular Americans the
Red Cross is fulfilling an obliga-
tion when it serves them accord-
ing to their needs and the lives
they live.
