Getting away from that silliness, you have a new edi tor. She doesn't promise to try and publish a masculine paper that would acknowl edge superiority of the other sex but she does promise an honest plodding job just as good as you will help her make it. By so doing she re leases a man for the service, and when the War is over, the job will be here for the first likely boy who wants to settle in Beaufort and who can work things out with Mr. Hatsell!

YOUR DISTAFF EDITOR When I came to Beaufort in the dear dead days of yes teryear we were still "kissed by the Gulf Stream," lights were on the streets and in the houses and stores, the Superintendent of Schools from his comfortable Dodge msiled indulgently at an oc casional man on a bicycle little weennig that he would ever balance himself on one again, Coca-Colas were sold in cartons six for twenty-five and there were plenty for all, a soldier was a curiosity, a fox hole a place for foxes to set up housekeeping in, if we had been confronted with USO we would have been sure that it stood for United States something only the "O" would have puzzled us. If in those days anyone had wanted to argue that a re- verDeration at sea was any thing but thunder, he would have been considered a fit subject for Dix Hill and a good housekeeper with a box of sand sitting untidily around would have seemed headed for the same place. They were the days before we were urged to stir out coffee like h to take ad vantage of every grain of sugar; days when the bright lights of automobiles passed in rapid succession at sixty miles per on a summer eve ning; days of bridge parties with ten and fifteen tables; days of festivals and festival queens; days when the thought of the William A. Mace drawing a target in stead of a purse boat would have been laughed to scorn. C'est la guerre and no mat ter who may say we do not take it seriously, it has changed the way of life of everyone here and is destin ed to change it more. In this current of change came soda jerkettes at the fountains, Frances Manson at the bus station, delivery girls for Bell's Drug Store, girls car rying papers, and now in keeping with the same tiend, an editor on the distaff side. Your new editor is an an achronism in that with a head generously covered with white hairs, she is yet an infant in swaddling clothes (journalistically speaking). Eight days old to be exact eight very pleas- Far at sea the profession ais oi our armea iorces are watching for the first sign of enemy planes bound for these shores. If a "suicide squadron" gets past these guardians of our outer de- tenses and reaches the Con tinental United States the appropriate Air Force Inter ceptor Command will quick ly receive the information necessary to annihilate the raiders. The number and type of planes will be known, the direction thev are taking will be plotted through successive reports from the Observation Posts. and if the force fans out in an attempt to bomb a num ber of objectives the fighter planes of the Air Force will set about destroying them in detail. The spotters engaged on this important service know that no matter how terrible the weather may be thev must remain on the alert. A hostile plane reported will almost certainly be a dead uuck Deiore it can do anv damage, but if it gets thru . . . And so every plane that comes within sight or sound must be noted and the infor mation concerning it sent in quickly. As Past National Commander Ray Murphy said last May, discussing in this magazine the duties of civilians in connection with air raids, "While the call may never come, we would deserve everything we got if when it came we were not ready to cope with whatever the enemy might throw at us." The civilians who have a part in the A. W. S. have this in mind. They are making a highly important contribu tion to the safety of this na tion, and rate a salute from the rest of us American Legion Monthly.

Curb Market Shows Progress Sales at the Carteret County Home Demonstration Curb Market have been steadily increasing dur ing the year and reached a new height in July when the total in come amounted to $2,539.42. This is an increase of $350.92 over last July when sales were $2,188.50. The market women attribute their success to the fact that many de fense workers and the usual sum mer vacationers come to buy fresh produce ach market day. The new curb market building has also beca a great asset. The market which is located on the corner of 13th and Evans streets in Morehead City, is open each Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 o'clock. A prize is given each Saturday to the person holding the lucky tick et. The Curb Market women wish to thank all of their old friends for their patronage and invite them to bung their neighbors to market with them. Gene Autry Joins U. S.
