A GOOD TIME FOR GOOD TASTE The Pilot, alonpr with his many other friends, felt like cheering when “Chub” Seawell was so unequivocally exonerated of all charges made against him by the Government. Indeed, the evidence against Seawell bogged down so quickly that the case never went to the jury but was thrown out by the judge. In this issue of The Pilot, Mr. Seawell makes a statement thanking his friends for their loyalty to him during this time. This much was fine. But it was a •onaderable let-down to find Mr. Seawell indulging in rather bitte" invective against not only tha group he felt was persecuting as well as prosecuting him, but in jecting a definitely political an gle, the whole Federal adminis tration. Still cheering because of hi.s exoneration and still believing that Mr. Seawell has every right to express his ideas on the mat ter and to pursue them to what ever end they may lead him. The Pilot is sorry that Mr. Seawell did not find this a good time to exhibit good taste. cr SAND WEEK OR SO AGO. JIMMY Hobbs launched out on a fulltime in surance salesman career, and this week his company in its little sali’s talk bulletin, listed Jimmy at the top among 26 salesmen in 11 states. “Take Jimmy Hobbs, from South, crn Pines, N. C.," the bulletin com mented. “He is the young man who la leading the list this week. Jimmy believed in the program of the com pany buying defense bonds so much that he wejit out scouring the coun. try—filling his prospects with that same enthusiasm. And it worked for Jimmy because he did himself proud for his second full week in the insur. ance buslne.ss on a full time basis.” FOLKS HAVE ASKED IF THE Pilot has heard much complaint about the rationing of tires and tubes for automobile and truck owners. Yes, there has been some complaint; but usually it has been this: ‘It wouldn’t be so bad, having to get a certificate to buy the tires and tube!)—if we could only raise the money to pay for them after we get the certificate I’’ The PUBLIC SPEAKING “PETTICOATS” IN GOVERNMENT An columnist, for whom we have no particular admiration anyway, this week writes: “More good news is Mrs. Roosevelt’s ‘indication’ that she will step dow’n soon as assistant director of Civilian Defense. “Mrs. Roosevelt is an inter esting, charming and intelligent woman, but we want no petticoat government, least of all in w'ar- lime.” Perhaps Mrs. Roosevelt’s ser vices are better directed through Fome channel other than an offi cial position in the government which is headed by her husband. That is not our point of conten tion. We challenge the writer's blunt “we want no petticoat gov ernment, least of all in war- CHIEF ED NEVV^TON STOOD alone at the intersection of East broad street and Pennsylvania ave nue the other day. He was scratching his head, with a quizical expression cn his face. “I wonder where they've all gone.” he asked rhetorically, gazing down the empty Broad street between Penn sylvania and New York avenue. The street was empty because it was rop ed off, keeping out automobile traJf- f!c. “Been a hundred kids wanting a place to roller skate,” he commented. “But as soon as I ropo off a street for them—there’s not a one in sight I” And there wasnt. RECENTLY, A PILOT STAFF member asked Dante Montesanti a question something like this; “What do first or second generation Italians think about this War against the fascisms of their native Italy?” Recently, a Pilot staff member asked Dante Montesanti a question something like this: "What do first or sccond generation Italians think about this War against the fascisms of their native Italy?” WTiat is perhaps the best answer to this que.stion came this week to the local Montesanti family in the form of a news story from Ohio. The story concerns the family of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Armogida. Mrs. Armogida is a sister of Mrs. A. Montesanti and Mr. Armogida was a former partner of A. Montesanti in Boston, Mass. Of Mrs. Armogida’s six sons, five are in the service of these United States. Captain Salvatore Armogida. a graduate of West Point, is stationed at Camp Jackson, S. C.. and has vis ited the Montesantis here. Midshipman Dante Armogida will receive his Navy commission in the next graduation class of the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Harry Armogida is working for an Armv commission as a flying cadet at Maxwell Field, Ala. Edmund Armogida is a corporal in the Coast Artillery and is station, ed at Fort Monroe. Va. Harry Armogida. who holds a de. greo of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts, is in training at Fort Bol- voir. Va. • Mr.<i. Armogida's eldest son is as. -sistant county prosecutor at Canton yTo the EJditor: I wish to thank you for the many kind expressions of your paper dur ing the time that I was being attack ed by the Attorney General’s office. I enclose a little statement of thanks to my friends, which I would appre. ciate your publishing. H. F. SEAWELL, JR., Carthage, N. C.

At 7:30 Saturday night (10th) snow began falling. At 9 the snow was moming fast, accompanied by a biting northeast wind and a low tem. perature. Stinday morning dawned clear but the surprised inhabitants looked out on from 1 to 12 inches of snow, with scattered drifts that would not have been out of place in a New England landscape. Nothing like it has been seen in this section since 1899, when about 15 inches of snow fell.
