Importance And
Luck Big Factors
One’s luck or his importance)
will determine whether service- j
men in this country will spend *
Christmas at home or at posts of
duty, according to reports coming
out of Washington.
A poll of the services brought
these answers:
I Army—Commanders may grant
leaves to personnel “who can be
spared.’’ Training at army instal
lations will be suspended inly
on Christmas and New Year’s
Days.
Navy -District, base, or ship
commanders may 'grant leaves
“according to their own dictates,
hid it is assumed leave will be
granted wherever possible but i
not at sacrifice of operations sta
ins of ships and shore stations." i
In general, the air force and :
the marines have the same policy
as the army and navy. :
Railroads have granted reduced)
fares for round-trip tickets to !
servicemen on holiday leaves. The
question of whether there should
be an exemption of the federal
lax on such tickets is still being
discussed.

Wednesday I went to Greens

to the circus.
N.of com e they both want
ed t i go, hot for some reason or
other, if seemed to me that they
should have wanted to go much
more than they seemed to. I guess
I should have just let the news
chop e; -ually that there would be
a big circus in Greensboro and let
them take it from there. 1 should
have appeared lukewarm about
the v. hole idea and hard to get.
Then they would have begged
and pleaded and begged some

piteously and would have been s i

would give in. Then they would

We didn’t do it that way, though.
We just did it straight. I was so

for joy and asked if the big girls
wanted to go. "Sure.” they said.

the hope that crime would
disappear during and after
the holidays. A warning was
again issued against the firing
of fireworks, including pop
pistol caps.
Three of the four arrested
last week-end were charged
with assaults, the other, for
public drunkenness. All four
were colored, and their ages

IIAM' PAST SOMITIIIM.
(Camden Chronicle)
Another one ol life's oddities is
that when you wake up at night
wonder what time it is the clock
always strikes just once so you

o'clock or half past something and
finally your eurosity gets the best
of you and you get up to see what
time it really is.

VICK VERSA
(Sanford Herald)
The terrible condition of the
Arabs te.da\ in Palestine remind
ed the .Congressman of a story
about two Negroes who were sta
t loned in that count i y during the
I war.
i They Went to Hethlehelli one
day and were walking around
looking over the city when all of a
sudden one of them stopped and
exclaimed "Say, there Negi o, does
you know where you is standing?"
"I sho’ does,' his friend replied
Tse standing where Christ was
born, but I wish to Christ 1 was
standing where I was born.'
ANOTHER REASON

The fellow who rats a large
meal "is gorging himself in order
to have a sense of security and
