ant days with our neighbor,
The Twin-City Daily Times,
durinir which time friends
leaning over the carriage (to
continue the same figure of
speech) were wont to mur-
mer, "She's dcin fine, ain't
she?"
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.
ERING SOME RUBBER AROUND

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.
