He spoke brief ly, clearly, and forcefully to the group following a deli cious Legion Auxiliary pre pared and served turkey din ner. Introduced by Vice Commander Tom Kelly, Mr. Baddour first took time to commend the Post on membership, their r?presentative at Boy State, their Department Vice Commander, and on the beau tifully appointed, recently reno vated, debt free Legion Hut. Charles Baddour served abroad in 1918, and it was with feeling that on "Armistice Day, the Birth day of the American Legion" he first spoke in honor of "the dead of World War I and World War II." He recalled "the golden dawn of the eleventh hour of the eleven th day of the eleventh month of 1918. The sun shone that day ov er a worn, torn, world radiating it with a new light and understand ing and a new warmth of brotherly love, The Armistice." "We won that war, but we lost the peace following it . . . Pearl Harbor was a sad awakening. To day our sons are finishing the job on battlefields stretched across the world." "No Armistice will be signed this time," said Mr. Baddour. "The Allied nations will not stop until death and destruction from land and sea and airhave com- Dletelv smashed and wiped out our enemies assuring freedom lov- Iitcmi are eettins behind the drive locally.

Re member Sund&y, the 28th 1 VINCENT TO BE TRIED NOV. 30 Sam Rhodes Still Unable to Appear Some twenty-odd colored people gathered in the Court Room Tuesday to hear Sam Vincent, of Virginia, tried for assault with deadly wea pon on Lee Vann Johnson and Sam Rhodes on Satur day night, November 6th. Spectators were largely young people prepared to enjoy the occasion but absence of Sam Rhodes who is still in the hospital and the fact that he and Lee were involved in the same fight made the trial necessarily incomplete There seems to have been a gen eral free for all in which a mirror, a knifa, a pint of whiskey, and bricks were involved, but the cast was continued for two weeks so that Rhodes might be present to help unravel it. Vincent who has been confined in jail was allowed out if he could raise $200 bond for his appearance. The case of Chirles Sarvis charged with "hit and Run" last July continued from Recorder's Court of October 12th was heard. Sarvis was found not guilty of the "hit and run " charge but was found guilty of "reckless driving."

In the past the citizens of Carter et County have responded admir ably to this program. Their dol lars have been used under the di rection of the Carteret Couty Health Department to provide ab solutely essential hospital and home care for unfortunate vic tims of tubercuulosis. Everyone in this county should appreciate the fact that treatment of these patients accomplishes two things: (1) the patient 13 given what chance he may have to re cover fro mthe disease and return to the community as an able-bodied, useful citizen; (2) the pa tient is removed from the society of the other members of the com munity while his disease is capable of being spread to his Inends and leved ones. No one can estimate the nusery and suffering that your Seal Sale dollars have already prevented. Mr. Stanley Woodland announces that with the cooperation with Carteret County Health Depart ment, the money contributed has paid for the X-ray examination of high school students, 01 100a nana lers, and of various other groups of citizens.

Our Ernest Snowden makes us proud again. On the same day this month he was offic ially raised to full Command er, USN, and was given com mand of all aircraft attached to one of our largest aircraft carriers ninety-two planes. Since Comdr. Snowden return ed to the Pacific in June of this year,, stories have been filtering through by way of AP dispatches, radio and personal correspondence telling of his part in the raid on the Gilbert Islands, September 19, nd of his part in the raids on Tar awa, Apamama, Makin, and Naura Islands. Now both through newspa pers and Life Magazine (October 25) comes the story of the Octo ber 5th and 6th attacks on Wake Island. Bob Sherrod, Life war corres pondent, flew in Ernest's section in the second strike made on Wake. He wrote that Ernest, then still lientenant commander but dive- bomber squadron commander, "had been bearish because the whole island had not blown up the first day. Now he was saying: 'It is the biggest mess I've ever seen. I saw one 2,000-lb. bomb from a TBF hit on underground ammu nition dump, and even up in the air we could feel the whole island rumbling." Further along Sherrod continues, 'this carrier had only four planes shot down, and all the aii-men except one fighter pilot managed to land near enough to our ships to be picked up. We did not even have an operational ac cident aboard our carrier." After the two days attack on Wake Island, Sherrod wrote of our carriers, "It is the greatest carrier , task force ever assembled, being many more planes than have ever before been caried into a 'laval battle."
