FROM SARA NEWTON’S
SCRATCH PAD
FROM THE PACIFIC MY (
writes of a conversation with
little chuckles in me. Rogers
pital ship in the Pacific for at
hasn’t learned any of the dialt
The conversation took place on
Formosa where the ship had paus
ed to bury a patient who had died
aboard.
* * * *
“There were a few Jap prisoners
and some Chinese from Formosa
(is that likely?) digging the
graves. There’s quite a different
technique used in handling pris
oners out here. I’ve been out here
eight months and had never seen
a Jap, so I walked over closer to
them, a little Filipino trailing
close behind me. I stood there, you
know, hands on hips, a cocky sneer
on my face, and a general air of
arrogance around me, watching
them dig.
“I turned to the little boy who
still had said nothing, and with
the same dialect I use on all for
eigners, regardless of the language
they speak, I asked him his opin
ion. This means of getting a for
eigner to understand me is sort <jf
a cross between pig latin and baby
talk with numerous gestures of the
face, body, and limbs. The con
versation went like this:
“ ‘Do you lika those jerks—big
buddie?’ All the while I .vas mak
ing motions and using words of
endearment.
“He looked up at me with about
the same expression you’d get if
you asked a mute for a light.
I tried again. “You hate those
fellows—want to kill them?”
He looked up at me "with a big
grin: ‘You right, Jackson!” he re
sponded.
WHILE WE’RE IN THE PACL
fic there is another story to tell
Pvt. Joe Thompson, who is on hi:
way to somewhere out there, ant
A. V. Irvin, both Shelby soldiers
discovered each other on the sami
transport ship. They are not ii
the same group because Joe is witl
the motorized corps, while A. V. i
in on the engineering part—it wa:
coincidence enough to be on th<
same ship. Both hastened to writi
home about what happened ant
the thrill it gave them.
DO YOU KNOW HOW THEY
test the strength of coffee on
destroyers, by the way? Capt.
Abercrombie, USN, author of
“My Life to the Destroyers”
says coffee is exactly right if it
will float an iron wedge. Down
in the engine room standards
are different. The coffee those
boys brew will eat up an iron
edge and take the paint off
bulkheads. (Walls, to you.) A
salty saga.
LATELY THE DISCUSSION Ol
which is better, “to browse” or “t<
browse around,” has been poppini
up intermittently in my presence
For instance, if you owned a shop
would you invite people in “ti
browse” or “to browse around”'
When you think of browsing yoi
usually thinks of books, but i
browsing limited only to books?
• • * •
According to Webster the word
“browse,” used intransitively, mean:
1). to feed on or crop browse
Loosely, to graze, or 2). To rea<
passages here and there in a bool

! or collection of books.
“Browse about or around" is used
j to mean “to move here and there
i pausing to browse.”
* * * •
Either phrase would be correct,
according to Webster, if you we;e
inviting people to look at books or
you were planning to look at books
when you said “browse.” Plenty of
people today are “browsing through”
phonograph records, however, and
“browsing around” antique shops,
so Webster had better hurry to
keep up with us.

BARBOUR LAUDS
LEADERSHERE
“Shelby has taken its local govern -
ment seriously and has done a mag
nlficient job,” declared Lt. Gover
nor Jess Barbour of Morganton,
making an official visit to the Shel
by Klwanis club last night.
Mr. Barbour was speaking on
things not being exactly right in
America, declaring there is too much
religion, racial and political pre
judice still prevalent in the land
which we must get rid of if the
nation is to continue on its upward
surge.
“Greece once had the greatest
civilization of that period but less ;
than ten per cent of the population
possessed the culture and the ca
pacity for leadership. The artisto
cracy in the South was a great civi- j
lization but it was too restricted and
exclusive. The masses did not be
long to this group. They couldn’t
qualify because of educational and
economic backwardness,” said Mr.
Barbour.
SPIRIT, VISION
“Civic clubs have developed men
who have the spirit, vision and ca
pacity for leadership and today the
civilization in the south is the high
est in the world, taking all groups
of people into consideration”, -he
declared.
Mr. Barbour urged his hearers to
take an interest in local govern
ment and not look to Washington
and Raleigh for hand-outs. He said
Shelby and Cleveland county have
always done this and consequently
the city and county are admired
and respected for the leadership of
its men and for its good govern
ment.
The speaker was introduced by
Fred Blanton. Senator Clyde Hoey
was present and in a brief talk, re
ported that the United Nations
charter is the greatest document
ever drafted by man and will un
doubtedly be ratified by the Senate
at an early date.
