May we be va liant soldiers of righteousness, ev sr loyal to the great and lofty ob jectives of this war. Keep alive the spirit of chivalry and pure pa triotism in our hearts. Save us from the hurt of hate, except to ward what Thou hatest. We pray, f) all - merciful Father, that both we and our loved ones in service may be made finer men and truer patriots because of this present chastening under Thy hand. May we, by Thy helpful grace, aban don all in life that is cheap and tawdry and unworthy of Sons of God. Amen.—W. T. E.

I have urged writers and play wrights to do some things on that theme.” The round trip from Washing ton to Baltimore is 80 miles. -v__ Woman Dies On Way To Hospital; Death Termed A Suicide The sheriff's department last night was investigating the death of Mrs. Mayo. 31, of 2668-D, River side apartments, Jefferson street, who died about 8 p.m. last night on the way to the James Walker hospital.

I Assembly Urged To Work For Early Adjournment RALEIGH, March 7. —UP)— An admonition that all bills should be placed in the hoppers this week to speed adjournment was voiced today by Speaker Oscar Richard son, while the Senate received the $129,000,000 finance bill amend ments and set them for special consideration on second reading tomorrow. In asking representatives to speed up their work, Richardson said that through yesterday, the 55th day of this session, only 772 bills had been considered, where as the 1943 Assembly adjourned on tbe 55th day after the House had considered 858 measures. Richardson said he might ap point a calendar committee short ly. All bills would be referred to that committee, which usually is appointed just before adjourn ment. At the current pace, he said, it will take 11 days to com plete the work now before the house. Similar bills to lend financial assistance to the state fair and its property here were introduced by Reps. Edwards of Greene and Quinn of Duplin and Senator Eagles of Wilson. They would au thorize the issuance of $100,000 in bonds, with an interest rate to be approved by the Council of State. General fund monies could not be employed, but the State Agricul ture Department, which super vises the fair, would be allowed to invest up to 1 per cent of its surplus in the fair fund. A bill to authorize the governor to issue certificates of the State’s appreciation to the families of deceased servicemen and service men themselves was sent v? by Reps. Hatch of Wake and Moseley of Guilford. There are approxi mately 300,000 North Carolinians in the armed services. Rep. Cover of Cherokee sent up a bill to appropriate $50,000 for assistance to indigent persons suf fering from cancer. Her bill to provide for a State cancer com mission has been killed. Another bill by Eagles would authorize the State to become self insurant, against loss by fire on state-owned property, furniture and equipment. Reps. Kerr of Warren and Uz zell’ of Rowan introduced a bijl incorporating the recommenda tions of a subcommittee which studied methods of effecting a more equitable system for taxa tion on insurance premiums.
