TXUS TO OUBSELWS* OUB KBIGHBOB1, OUB COUNTRY AND OUB GOD* Thirty-Ninth Year Established June 5,1902 McCORMICK, S. C., THXJRSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1940 WASKIIKIOM Washington, Aug. 5.—The whole nation is about to get a foretaste of what war, or at least prepara tion for war, means. With almost no apparent opposition in Con gress, the outlook is that before Guard officers, just as quickly as possible, and keep them in uni forms for a year. Next April the plan is to conscript another 400,- 000, and a year from October 600,- 000 more, and so on. These men will get quarters, subsistence and $21 a month wages. Washington hears that many business concerns have a- greed to keep employees on their payrolls through the training period. The Senate committee put into the new law a provision that an employer who refuses to reinstate an employee because of Rirrrrma*> absence for a year of military Summer is oyer every male citizen tato shaU be considered guilty of the United States between the Qf labor practices. agta of 18 and “ *111 have been: Provl;iion is expected to be made 52“ another bill, now being drafted, the same period, or shortly the i( t he payment by the Govem- after every aUen raiding in this 0{ P such ltems as life insur- countiy will be reg^ered so^that premiums and mortgage pay- the police can put their hands on whlch a ^ler m training them at any time. The estimate is that about'three million aliens will be finger-print ed and otherwise identified. The citizens of fighting age will also be finger-printed, so that if any of them tries to dodge when his number is called he can be picked up and sent to prison or fined, or both. There will be about 12 mil lion of those. Each will get a number. On October 1, if no slip occurs in the present plans, numbers will be drawn out of a jar. Each num ber may be held by several hun dred different men between the ages of 21 aftd 30, scattered all over the country. There will be 400,000 such men called in the first draft. The numbers will be published in every comer of the land, and each man whose num ber has been drawn will have to report to a designated place for a year of military training. - -• ***— ~- m - mm - --- vmy cFiiigic ifidi — -, . Qnly single men are to be taken in this first draft, and “key men” in essential industries and others who can give valid reasons why they should not go into training will be exempted. But the idea is to start 400,000 into military ser vice, under Army and National could hardly be expected to pay out of his $21 a month. That is the beginning of the Army’s program for an armed land force of not less than two million men as quickly as possible. Less Optimistic William Knudsen, the industrial production expert of the National Defense Council, reporting to a committee of Congress on the progress of production of equip ment and armaments for the new army and the navy, was not so optimistic in some respects as his former employer, Henry Ford, about the speed with which fight ing airplanes can be turned out. Mr. Ford some weeks ago said he could turn out a thousand planes a day, beginning six months after' he got the order. The British Government has ordered 72,000 planes in this country, to be delivered at the rate of 3,000 a month through 1041 and 1942. Mr. Knudsen indicated that to fill that order would require the building of 38 additional plants, if production were to be kept up for our own needs, and that it would be the middle of 1942 before the total production of military planes, for the United States and others, Revival Services At Rehoboth Baptist Church August 11-16 Beginning Sunday, August 11, and continuing through Friday evening, August sixteenth, the an nual series of revival services will be held at the Rehoboth Baptist Church. The pastor will deliver the messages, and he will be assisted by the members of the church, and by the choir in de votional singing. Services will be held Sunday morning and afternoon, with lunch served on the church grounds. There will be a service each day of the ensuing week through Friday evening, all serv ices being evening services, and beginning at eight thirty.

By July, 1942, he expects the industry to be turning out fighting planes for American use at the rate of 25,000 a year. Congress has under considera tion a bill to amend the neutrality act to the extent of letting Ameri can ships bring British children under the age of 16 to this country as “visitors” for the duration of the war. Many thousands of such children of all classes are ready to be sent over, and homes have been assured for them. The major question is as to whether assur ances could be had from Germany and Italy that such ships, carry ing no other passengers or cargo, would be permitted safe passage across the Atlantic. There is a decided desire in official circles to give this as well as all other aid short of war to the British people, but there is also a decided distrust Louise nf onxr o eciir'o wniorVtt’. ! lidmUT The third McCormick County campaign meeting is scheduled to be held at Willington tomorrow, Friday, August 9th, the speaking to start at 10 o’clock a. m.

Fear that supplies provided by the American Red Cross for the relief of war victims in Europe might fall into German hands, or had already done so, was removed by a statement by Norman H. Davis, Chairman of the Red Cross, that not a cent of Red Cross funds nor a single item of supplies had been appropriated by the German authorities, although they had ample opportunity to do so.
