Prof. Robinson to enter Naval Reserve Corps October 18th Prof. Ropert Robinson, of last year’s faculty of Pickens County High School, has entered the of ficers naval reserve corps and will report to Northwestern Uni versity, Chicago, on October 18th for training. Prof. Robinson was offered a position on this year’s faculty but did not accept. He remained in Jasper during the summer, but left Tuesday night for Mount Vernon, Ga., where he will visit his parents before reporting for training. Prof. Robinson is a splendid young fellow and we believe will make a good officer. • •••• Pickens Hi-Lights Several new faces greeted stu dents at P.C.H.S. last week, for the faculty has changes some what from that of last year.

The three upper classes of the high school have enrolled these new students: Troy Wright, Elli jay; James Thompson, Hinton; Bernice Sosebee, Marietta; Kate Byess, Marble Hill. P.C.H.S. is also glad to welcome back Car olyn Whitfield, who has been at tending school in Wildwood, Fla.

There was never a better time than now to do this. With Japanese silk banned from our shores, our manufacturers are finding a splendid substitute in cotton for the making of snappy hose. Now if the women of this country will adopt cotton hose as the substitute for silk a tremen dous market will be created for the chief product of southern farms. - Sylvester Local • •••• The railroad trainmen have set next Monday as the date of a pro posed strike. Under laws regulat ing railroad labor disputes there must be a cooling off period and the strike will probably be post poned. A railroad strike anytime in the near future would paralyze business and the national defense program. If the various railroad brotherhoods do strike it will be such a blow to their prestige that any advantage they gain will be temporary and in the future they will face a hostile public opinion.
