Uses Spare Time
To Write Poetry
?*?
Tins poem, written on a scrap of
paper, was found recently plastered
to the side of a shack used by air
plane spotters in Pennsylvania. It
was penned by a young man who
was called upon to do double duty
during the night when the men as
signed to relieve him failed to re
port.
For Uie life of me,
Damned if I can see
Why no one watches
From twelve to three.
If the Arm yand Navy
Felt like that, \
The Japs would take us
In nothing flat.
God help the good old U.S.A.
If all we do is sit home and pray.
Wars are won by facing facts,
Not by Grandstand Quarterbacks.
If anything makes me see red,
It's guys who can't get out of bed.
The pay is small, that we admit,
But we should try to do our bit.
Excuse this bad attempt at rhyme,
It'ii dune to puss awu^_the time.
Below, in someone else's handwrit
ing, ap)>eared the following:
1 love my bed, of that I'm sure,
For that, Alas, there is no cure.
But to save my bed, my head, and
thee,
I'll gladly watch from twelve to
three.

"ON THE JOB"
Training "on the job" in war in
dustry has resulted in as much as
SO per cent increase in production
in some cases, according to reports
of the War Production Board's la
bor division. Training within indus
try is one of the ways in which the
United States is meeting hte skilled
labor crisis.

North Carolina is producing a rec
ord peanut crop to meet the war de
mand for vegetable oils and the War
Production Board has permitted a
large increase in the manufacture
of peanut picking machinery to
help get in the crop.

line public-spirited men and women
taking First Aid courses, and in a
short while a good many of these
will be in position to impart knowl
edge thus acquired to others in the |
county until it is probable that near
ly all who are willing will be able
to acquire some knowledge and
training in First Aid work.
Tlie Board of Commissioners of
Martin County have been coopera
tive in our program of trying to or
ganize the entire county for fire pro
tection and police protection.
Due to so much demand on the
Government Printing Office*, the
Office of Civilian Defense has not
been able to furnish local councils,
including our own, with necessary
books, pamphlets and instructions,
without which it has been impossi
ble to thoroughly acquaint our citi
zenship with the absolute necessity
and importance of participation by
all citizens in this important work.
But in spite of the lack of informs
tion, wherever the citizens are
ed on they have reacted as true
ercians when they see the need.
The chairman above named is very
appreciative of the cooperation of
Martin County citizens.
From time to time now valuable
instructions will be distributed so
that very soon all the men, women,
boys and girls will understand what
their Government expects of them in
the home front in this all-out war,
looking toward a full and final vic
tory for our Nation and their A Hies
rork.
