They had a horrible time over at Pathe trying to do a newsreel on "Young America Wants to Help" . . . Commentator Tex McCrary was there as were some American kids, Mrs. Roosevelt and an Eng lish youngster, who had been evacu ated . . . Despair was rampant. Tex was tearing his hair, and cam eramen were miserable because the English lad (used once before when he arrived) had acquired full-flowering Brooklynese in a Brooklyn school. He had shown up completely minus his immaculate British ac cent, and they simply could not get him to say "bawth-room"! Innocent Bystander: Mrs. Roosevelt tells this story about Bunker Hill Monument, of which all New England is proud . . . When it was nearing comple tion there was difficulty in raising $20,000 which was needed ... A Mr. Laurence of Massachusetts gave $10,000, saying other New Eng enders would surely help . . . But the other $10,000 came not from New Englanders, but from Judah Touro, a Jewish merchant of New Orleans . . . Mrs. Roosevelt likes to tell the story, she explains, "because it is the only piece of American history I ever told my husband that he didn't know before." John Hearst, the newspaperman's boy, met a fellow in Reuben's the other middle-of-the-night, who once trimmed him with an old racket . . . The chap had given him a tip on a horse race, and not only wasn't there such a horse or race but there wasn't even such a town! . . . Hearst simply had to let him know that he was hep to him . . . "Eight years ago," he said, "when you swindled me out of that money, I was awfully mad at you. I wish I could make up my mind what to do to you right now." "I understand," was the retort, "you haven't played a horse tip since. You should thank me for teaching you a lesson!" "Prince" Mike Romanoff, who never posed as a lily, went under the microscopic examination of a magazine several years ago . . . He went through the wringer and managed to survive it . . . The editor of the wallopings, it appears, invested a goodly sum in a Holly wood restaurant, and it became the movietown'g most prosperous ren dezvous . . . Romanoff, with the support of friends, opened a res taurant in the same sector, and he was the one who was most amazed when it turned into a gold mine . . , Recently the editor's place discovered that its clientele was thinning . . . Major air lines which paid a fancy fee to have the editor's sideline prepare the luncheon boxes for its passengers, cancelled its or ders . . . The business was turned over to Mike's place . . . Many of the patrons, who stopped going to the other spot, are now patronizing Romanoff's . . . Revenge, as the saying goes, is saccharine . . . Mor al: Never kick an underdog when he's down. He may become your most aggravating competitor. When the alarm was given after a Local Loan Company on 7th Ave nue and 41st Street was held up re cently, a radio police car sirened up to the door . . . Out jumped Officer Wallace of the 14th Precinct, who rushed in yelling: "What's the mat ter?" . . . "What's the matter?" shouted the cashier. "Well, you know that lonely cowboy bandit who's been holding up everybody lately? I just passed out $600 in cash to him!" "What!" wisecracked the cop. "Without a co-maker?" LETTERS to SANTA Sea Level, Dec. 15. Dear Santa: I am a little boy almost five years old, I have been real good, hoping you would come to see me Christmas. Please bring me a large wagon, a little truck, a pair of bedroom slippers, and fruit. Please remember my Daddy, oMth er, my brother, Makely Gordon, also my cousins, Frances Lee, Jan ice Lorraine, and Ronald Moore. Your little boy, Donald Francis Salter. Sea Level, Dec. 15 Dear Santa: I am a little boy just 20 months old. I have been a very good boy. Please bring me a car that 1 can ride in, a big rubber ball, some blocks, a little train, and a bike. Please remember my Daddy, Mother, Grandma, and all my lit tle friends. Please bring Tiny, my doggie, a ball. Your little boy, Abbott Glynn Salter. Beaufort, Dec. 15 Dear Santa: This is my second Christmas but my first letter to you. I am 13 months old and can walk and talk some. I would like to have you bring me a ball, doll baby, ring, and just any thing that you want me to have. Be nice to all the little children this year. Billie Hatsell Brown. Merry-go-Round (Continued from Page 1) areas, Hew YorK, Philadelphia; and Baltimore. The total haul of all commodities will be between 20 and 25 thousand carloads, which, at an average of 50 tons to the car, means over a million tons. The Economic Defense board will use only $200,000 to finance the requisitioning of all this material, the value of which runs into many millions. Most of it will be seized and sold again on the same day, so the $200,000 will be merely a re volving fund. INTERNED ITALIANS One of the Italian ship officers in detention at Fort Missoula, Mont., wrote his wife in Italy a letter which U. S. officials are sure will never reach her. The letter will get to Italy, all right. Mail is still being exchanged regularly between the two coun ties. But authorities are certain that the officer's letter will not get by II Duce's censors, for, in hungry, battered, war-weary Italy this poignant message would not be "good propaganda." This is the reason: "We left Philadelphia for the city of Missoula," wrote the husband. "The journey lasted three days and three nights on a train and was a real pleasure. We did not lack a thing because we traveled in a Pull man. At meal times we turned it into a dining room and at night into a dormitory. The meals were magnificent. "I can tell you that for me the journey was one I had dreamed of for years and then, in an extraor dinary way, it came true. As I said before, this place is beautiful, all green with woods and surround ed by hills. The air is fine and healthy, my appetite very good and the food abundant and exquisite. "We do not lack milk, butter, meat, bread, vegetables, fruit, sugar or coffee. When I am eating I always think of you, who are per haps without food. No one can complain about the guards. They treat us with every respect and consideration." Note: To Americans the effusive description of the food as "abun dant and exquisite" is interesting, because the alien prisoners at Fort Missoula are fed straight army fare. In quality and quantity their rations are exactly the same as those of U. S. soldiers. SCRAP IRON TO JAPAN For years, the heaviest foreign buyer of U. S. scrap iron was Japan. Despite much public protesting, the state' department permitted Nippon ese militarists to import huge quan tities of this vital strategic materi al. Now appeasement chickens are coming home to roost. - With defense production swinging into full tide, the. U. S. suddenly is confronted with a serious scrap shortage. For various reasons, de fense chiefs are saying nothing about the situation. But it is very acute. A number of steel makers have privately reported curtailed production schedules in the offing because of inability to obtain need ed supplies of scrap. One important plant executive went so far as to describe his con dition as "almost desperate." CAPITAL CHAFF Everyone is getting increased wages, except the poor postman. The cost of living has gone up but he can't strike against the govern ment. The army air corps is wind-tunnel testing a new single-engine fighter plane that will do 512 miles an hour, 100 miles faster than any other plane in existence. All the bugs have been eliminated from the plane except one rinding a pilot who can safely fly a plane at that terrific ed. Beaufort, Dec. 15 Dear Santa: I am a little girl of three years, and am a nice one too, and of course, I want lots of things this year. Please do bring me a large doll with real hair and a carriage, and anything else that you want me to have. Please don't forget my Mama Norris on Turner street, take her something very nice this year. Billie Sue Willis. Beaufort, Dec. 17 Dear Santa Claus: I am a little girl 8 years old. Please bring me a bicycle, and a pretty doll with hair, a pair of bedroom slippers and a cow-girl suit. That is all. Your little girl, Carroll Ann Willis. Beaufort, Dec. 4. Dear Santa: I am a little girl six years old. Please bring me a pencil box, doll with plenty of clothes, and a pi ano. Don't forget my sister, moth er and father. With love, Carol Jones. Beaufort, Dec. 16. Dear Santa: Please bring me a doll, Airline Hostess suit, size A, carriage and doctor and nurse kit too. My sister Neva wants an Airline Hostess suit too, which I am sending a picture of. On the other side of the doll house is a carriage that Navy Still Needs Men Qualified As Stenogs and Typists CHARLESTON", S. C, Dec. 18. The U. S.

Entrance of the United States into war a gainst the Axis Powers makes it more imperative than ever that truck and bus owners in North Carol ir.a complete and return the inventory cards requested of them in November by the State High way Traffic Advisory Committee tu the War Department, W. Vance aBise, chairman, said today. The chief purpose of this sur vey, he said, is to get an inventory of all trucks, freight trailers and busses for use in organizing high way transportation to meet war time needs effectively. Under this plan these facilities will be mobil ized for use in the assembly of defense-industry materials, delivery of civilian and military supplies, relief of dock and terminal con gestion, and, in emergencies, the movement of passenger traffic. Another reason stressing the im portance of this inventory, the chairman added, is it will help form a basis for priority ratings that will assure future prodjetion of new motor vehicles and replace ment parts for existing equipment. The plan does not contemplate, however, the crippling of normal business operation. It simply is a step toward organizing all avail able means of transportation dur ing a critical emergency. Truck and bus owners in the State have been noticeably lag gard in returning their cards. The questionnaires were mailed out November 17, and the latest re port showed that only 48,000 out of 138,000 had been returned, rep resenting approximately 36 per cent of the total.

Proof of the aptness of the title was offered recently when the Service Club stayed open all night long to entertain and feed members of a transport group, who staped at Camp Davis over night. The entire crew in the kitchen and the hostesses worked straight through the night without rest to acacomamodate the boys. Sup plies in the kitchen were taxed to the fullest to meet the demands of the hungry soldiers, who, after be ing fed, dropped down on the floors of the steam-heated build ing to sleep. Some of the lucky ones got chairs to sleep in, while others, more hardy, stayed awake the whole night and wrote letters on stationery furnished by the Cil'l). More than 1,000 soldiers moved in and out of the Service Club all night long, and when they left to continue their journey in the morning, all were grateful for the food, warmth, entertainment and "service" rendered. Upstairs in the Service Club, another problem beset the Camp Library, housed in the building. Due to the unusual circumstances caused by the war, the return desk was swamped with soldiers return ing books which they had borrow ed. And, the next day, a crew of soldiers was ditpatched to pick up books which some of the men were unable to return. Stacked neatly in piles in barracks were books ed with a 90 percent return in Wisconsin and a 70 percent re sponse in South Carolina. Stat - Name of Sendtr: N with notes to the orderlies "Please return to Service Club," "Return, to Library." Each day more books arrive, and the library staff is confident that even in this emergency, the record of never having lost a book will stand, despite the war. SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWS $1.50 PER YEAR.
