And although I am still a Godfrey fan, I haVe never quite forgiven the red-headed entertainer for firing Haleloke. Yesterday The Buntline Spe cial is probably the rarest gun in America today—only five of these guns were made. E. Z. C. Judson, novelist and playwright, writing under the pen-name of Ned Bunt line, visited Wyatt Earp while he was marshal of Dodge City, seek ing material for his stories. Bunt line was so much impressed with Earp, and in gratitude for the co operation he had been given, sent back East and had five .45 cali bre, single-action six-guns made on his special specifications. The guns were named the Buntkne Special, were four inches longer than standard, or 18 inches over all, and were distributed to Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Charlie Bas sett, Bill Tilghman and Neal Brown—all names to reckon with as old-time Western gunmen and marshals. I wonder how many— if any—of these original guns ex ion labor monopoly are necessary. The hearings-of the Senate com mittee headed by Ben. McClellan (D-Ark.) not only disclose hood lumism and racketeering in lo calities as widely separated as New York and Portland, Ore., but they-also have revealed nation wide monopoly programs. Sen.

Sen. McClellan said Hoffa’s program included a Teamster-. Longshoremen’s control plan I which, if successful, would give him control of the Eastern Sea board and the new St. Lawrence Waterway. 4. Hoffa himself announced that his first objective, if elected pres ident of the Teamsters, would be a giant union organization con trolling transportation employees in the entire country. This, he said, would permit a nationwide strike which, of course, could par alyze the country. 5.

Phillips—' Phillips enlisted in the local company on April 21, 1952. Since his enlistment he has not missed a scheduled weekly drill, week end training assembly, or field' training period. Phillips shows a great deal of interest in all phas-j es of National Guard activity and' his assigned duty is Company j Clerk, at which he merits the rep-i utation as being one of the best' in the entire State. When asked his opinion of the National Guard Sp-3 Phillips stated: “The National Guard is an outstanding way for a person of draft age to fulfill his military obligation and at the same time continue with his chosen civilian career.” As a result of Terry’s interest, ability and undertaking during the 15-day summer encampment at Fort Bragg from June 9 to June 23, he was awarded the Com manding General’s Meritorious Service Award as the most out- Union dues money paid the hotel, bill of Joe Louis, former heavy- j weight champion, when he came to Washington and displayed him self in the courtroom where Teamsters’ boss Hoffa was on trial; for allegedly planting a spy in the Senate committee.

It al so was revealed that the Team-j sters Union placed avertising in a Negro newspaper at the time of, the trial, the ads praising Hoffa’s virtues. 6. A former union president,!

ACTIVITIES Due to limited funds, training for the first quarter of this fiscal year has been cut by four drills. At the last training assembly, Au gust 7, training in first aid was conducted by Sergeant Durwood | Barber and Sergeant Leslie Y. I Kirby. Lieut. Charlie W.

R. J. Boyce, local electrical con tractor, has been awarded a con tract to renovate the electrical system at the local armory.

Testimony was given that | “paper” unions were set up in i New York by gangsters, who in timidated or conspired with em ployers to defraud employees. Testimony-centered around John ny Dio, described as a New York gangster. Senators are being asked by constituents: What will Congress do to stop gangsterism and union monopoly? j Thus far no clear answer has been given. Sen. McClellan and j some other members of his in vestigating committee say that | legislation must be enacted to ! stop racketeering. ! But, meanwhile, the Labor De partment announces it is study ing plans to modify the Taft-Hart ! ley Act for presentation to Con- gress pext year. Such modifica tion fs has previously been pro posed would give union monop oly a stronger grip. Union leaders, and Senators and Representatives elected as “union labor candidates” continue to urge legislation virtually des troying any protective federal legislation. There is widespread belief, however, that public indignation may force Congress into action to protect the public, industry and union labor workmen from mo nopoly and gangsterism.

A Garden Hint The inquisitive woman was worrying the gardener. She asked a lot of silly questions. “What steps do you take with the caterpillars?” she asked next. “Well, mum,” said the exas perated gardener. I take half a dozen steps into our nearest field and turn the caterpillars round three times so that they gets giddy and don’t know their way back." Did you know this OjEDCI fact about .,. The only Federal Seashore Park in America is the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Area on the outer banks of North Carolina, extending from Oregon Inlet to Hatteras Inlet. The new State bridge over Croatan Sound from Manns Harbor to Manteo now opens this whole area to easier accessibility from the populous cities on the mainland. Thus North Carolina works to bring progress and opportunity to its more remote barrier islands. In line with this same progressive development is the "legal control system of the sale of beer and ale in effect throughout this area, where hospitality is the watchword and wholesome law abiding conditions the rule.
