KOUR HOME TOWN PAPER THE CANTON ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, NOVEMBERS, 1944 WAR PRISONERS TO BE CONTACTED THRU RED CROSS National Organization Gives Suggestions On Procedure Rhinehart Is Awarded DFC The local chapter American Red Cross received from national headquarters the following information for the next of kin to be • used in writing prisoners of war whose camp address is not known. "Letters may now be sent to United States prisoners of war in Germany whose camp address is unknown. These should be addressed as follows". Name and rank—American serial number, United States Prisoner of "War; in Germany, % International Red Cross-Directory Service, Geneva, Switzerland. ; This new plan makes it possible for letters to be sent as soon as the 1 next of kin receives official notification that the serviceman has been captured. This applies only to letter mail to prisoners of war taken by the Germans. Packages cannot be sent in care of International : Red Cross; it is still necessary for the office of the provost marshal general to wait for the prisoner's camp address before labels can be issued to the next of kin. No packages can be mailed without the labels. ;This procedure of handling letter mail to.German prisoners makes it possible for the prisoner to receive mail from his family more quickly. It may be several weeks after a serviceman is captured before he is placed in a permanent camp and given a prisoner- of war number. The International committee of the Red Cross suggests that families use only the air mail forms supplied by the post office in writing to prisoners. Make sure that mail is addressed in accordance with the instructions sent out by the office of provost marshal general, and write or print the address as well as the^text of letters. Illegible writing slows up censorship and causes delay or total loss of mail. Miller With Army Air Forces Sgt. Roy E. Miller, 31, Rt. 1, Canton, is a propeller specialist with the group. A former employee of the Champion Paper and Fibre Co., he entered the armed forces in March, 1943.

TflflT7TA MEETINGS TO BE HELD TIHS WEEK Sessions Planned For Asheville and Bryson City Two annual meetings of District No. 1, North Carolina Congress of Parents and Teachers, will be held this week, one on Thursday in West Asheville Methodist church and the second on Friday in the Bryson City Presbyterian church.

Rowe, national field | worker from national headquarters, Chicago, and Mrs. J. W. Burke of Gibsonville, state president, will be featured on the programs. The meetings are to be purely informal, Mrs. Luther said, and in addition to the three speakers, state chairmen residing in District No. 1, will also lead discussions. They are Mrs. H. B. Carter, goals; Mrs. Curtis W. Baldwin, radio; Leon Connor, juvenile protection; Mrs. R. U. Sutton, Sylva, home and family life; Dr. C. D. Killian, Cullowhee, visual education, and Mrs. E. N.

Registration begins at 10 a. m. Mrs. Baldwin is general chairman for the Asheville meeting, with Mrs. H. B. Carter serving as chairman of registration and Mrs. Harry Davis, chairman of hospitality. At the Bryson City meeting, Mrs. C. O. Newell will serve as general SOLDIER BALLOTS If DECIDE RACE IN PIVOJ STATES 4,300,000 Servicemen Expected to Vote In Election NEW YORK.—The nation's hottest political campaign since 1928 swept into the home stretch with pollcasters keeping tongue in cheek and crossing fingers on both hands because this 1944 campaign —first in wartime since Abraham Lincoln—has become a nightmare for those who take straw ballots. Even the high politicos of both parties are worried, although they never admit it publicly. The main thing that stumps them is the soldier vote. About 4,300,000 servicemen and women are expected to return ballots and there's no way of sampling them. May Decide Victor In some pivotal states, such as Pennsylvania, the soldier vote may well decide the victor. Democratic leaders privately admit they are counting heavily on the soldier vote. National Democratic Chairman Robert E. Hannegan told a press conference today that he had "no doubt" the party's ticket would carry Massachusetts. He added that "reports are more favorable every day" that President Roosevelt will carry New York. Mr. Roosevelt swings his campaign activities to Massachusetts Saturday, when he speaks at Boston. En route. Hannegan said, he probably will make brief rear platform appearances at Hartford and Bridgeport, Conn. Some Democratic claims assert that Dewey won't carry all the 10 states which Wendell Willkie won in 1940. Those states and the vote were: South Dakota—Willkie 177,065; Roosevelt 131,362. North Dakota—Willkie 154,590; Roosevelt 263,677. Nebraska — Willkie 352,201; Roosevelt 263,677. Michigan — .Willkie -.039,917; Roosevelt 1,032,991. Kansas—Willkie 849,169; Roosevelt 264,725. Iowa — Willkie 632,370; Roosevelt 578,800. Indiana — Willkie 899,466; Roosevelt 874.063. Colorado — Willkie 279,576; Roosevelt 265,554. Maine—Willkie 163,591; Roosevelt 156,478. Vermont—Willkie 78,371; Roose velt 64,20^^^^^^^^^— Lose 4 Electoral Votes Those 10 states gave Willkie 82 electoral college votes in 1940. ims year they are worth only to. J°wa, Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska having each lost one vote as result of reapportionment. Willkie's biggest weakness in 1940 came in the big city vote. He lost several important states, including New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and Pennsylvania, because the city vote turned against hjm. Dewey men believe he can cut down that metropolitan advantage. Important cities which Willkie lost in 1940 and the vote included: New York City: Roosevelt 1,- 966,083; Willkie, 1,247.624. State vote, city included: Roosevelt 3,- 251,918; Willkie 3.027,478. Philadelphia- Roosevelt 532,- 148; Willkie 351,878. State vote, city included- Roosevelt 2,171,- 035; Willkie 1,899,848. Cleveland (Cuyahoga county): Roosevelt 347 118; Willkie 209,- 070. State vote, city included: Roosevelt 1 733 139; Willkie 1,586,- 773. Chicago: Roosevelt 1,029.538; Willkie, 731 716 State vote, city included: Roosevelt 2,142.934; Willkie 2,047,240. Detroit: Roosevelt 447,000; Willkie 280,000. State vote, city included: Willkie 1,039,917; Roosevelt 1,032,991. The Republicans barely managed to squeeze Michigan into their bag. but they lost the other states mainly because of those large city leads. ' And there you have the pattern for the 1944 campaign. Both candidates are making torrid bids for votes in Chicago, New York City and Philadelphia.
