PRICE $2.00 PER year ,'down east I WITH BILLY ARTHUR 0 I've often wondered about the"? folks who're always entertaining someone or having visitors. I've wanted to know if hosts and host esses really enjoyed having to put fresh linens on the bed, sweep up aid dust good about the house, "because .... coming to 3ee us today," and if they really appre ciated guests after they have dirtied the linens, several extra towels, dropped cigarette ashes all over the floors, dirtied several extra dishes and generally kept the host excited about every little thing, particularly whether or not the guests were having a good time. Two hints at what I believe the general attitude to be came yester day. Telling me about her guest de parting. one lady added: "And thank the Lord they're gone!" And another young lady advised that she would have early supper because "the family's having com pany. and we're not wanted around the house when company comes." ^Then. I recall a statement by a young couple recently when they were advised that friends from out of the city would pass through New Bern. "We'll have to entertain them somehow, because they were so nice to us when we were in . . . How I hate to have them around. But we're just bound to have then in." 0 Possibly I'm too much of a de bunker or something of that sort. Maybe I've been spoiled, but it's just my nature to sway away from such doings. If I didn't want to have some folks around. I wouldn't invite them: and if they did come, well. I'd make the best of it with out going to any to-do about it. But when entertaining gets down to the plane represented by a local lady's statement some time ago. It's time to stop. I asked if she was going to be married secretly, and promptly she advised, "No, because folks don't entertain you after you're married. It's not socially proper." And it was the same young lady who said at one time that .she just didn't know how she would finance it but "I've just got to give ... a party, because she gave me one. and it's been the custom of our crowd to give each other parties when one of us gets married." 0 It's all right for the folks who like to entertain. But if you don't like it. why go through the mo tions? There's no demand. And if some squirt gets mad because I won't entertain, she or he can ^ imp it. 0 (Editor's Note: What's he rav ing about this morning? Oh. I gather from the tenor of his re marks that he's expecting com pany.) I am!!.! 0Thcy were telling a story in Raleigh of a fellow visiting a small Texas town some time ago and found the only hotel completely filled. "No sir," said the clerk. "I can't give you a room. The best I can do for you is to give you half of a private dining room. There's a lady has the other half but I reckon she won't bother you if you don't bother her." Jack readily agreed to the ar rangement and went to his room. Thirty minutes later he ran into the lobby, wild-eyed, (ilad in his pajamas. "Hey!" he yelled to the clerk. "That woman is dead." "I know it," the clerk replied. "But how did you find it out?" 0One of the legislators is carrying around a story which he prefaces by asking if you love your wife as much as the man in the yarn. It seems that a young married woman continuously asked her husband if he loved her. "Love you!" he exclaimed. 'Why, darling, I love you so much I'd leave a baseball game in the last of the ninth inning with the score tied, three men on base, two out and the count three and two on the batter." Charles R.

Jan. 25.—AP—Ap proximately 4,000.000 persons who have not paid the unforgiven part of their income tax on 1942 earn ings are being mailed statements, the Bureau of Internal Revenue announced recently. To avoid collecting two years' taxes in one year as a result of the switch-over to the pay-as-you-go system. Congress forgave at least 75 per cent of individuals' 1942 tax and added the unforgiven part to the 1943 obligation. To ease payment, the individual was given the opportunity to pay half the unforgiven amount last March 15 and the remainder next March .15. The forms currently available for payment of 1944 taxes do not. make provision for payment of the remainder of the unforgiven tax and thus separate statements are being mailed.

Substantially, the measure, if adopted, would do away with the convention system, substituting ♦ h^refor a system, whereby candi dates for Mayor and Alderman would of their own accord, post filing fees as do candidates for county offices. The bill provides that a primary election shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in April and shall be under state election laws. Under it. the in cumbent. town board would act as a board of elections and appoint registrars and pollholders in March. The measure, if adopted by the General Assembly, would give the town what local civic and social organizations have termed a "'mo dern" election system. In the past for years, only a handful of people have gathered in the Courthouse on the appointed date and via ver bal nomination virtually put in of fice the men who have governed the town, ably however. The new system makes it pos sible for anyone who can legally qualify to file or declare himself a candidate for any of the town's elective officers. It was an honest oversight on the part of persons familiar with the town-division bill, adopted at the 1943 session of the General As sembly. that the filing system was not then included. When the error was discovered, the convention of the townspeople who nominated the board, adopted a resolution un animously asking that the filing system be adopted for the 1945 town election. Since that time, the Jacksonville Woman's Club and Chamber of Commerce also have formally asked its passage.
