% Raleigh—If over you want to
learn about Raleigh, take a trip
with Rep. Oscar Barker of Durham.
And. if you want to know how to
get to Watson's Oyster Bar, just
four blocks from the capitol, here
are the directions:
Follow Hillsboro street six
blocks, turn left for four blocks
where you end up in the dark. Now,
go left until you discover you're
on a dead end street, with the Sea
board Railroad tracks at your right.
Turn right and head for tbe Sea
board roundhouse, where there is
an engineer. Ask the engineer how
to proceed from there. You reverse
your field, traveling past the dark
spot, and back two blocks from
Hillsboro street, then turning right.
There's Watson's, within sight of
the capitol dome.
0 Paul Cragon. son-in-law of Mrs.
Lollie Henderson, was in Raleigh
this week, and said he hadn't been
down to Jaksonville in more than
a year, but that he is coming next
summer for a spell.
£Rep. Fd Tonisscn is a traffic
blocker. He stands himself right
in the middle of the main aisle, and
folk.s have to walk around him. I'm
going to cut a hole in his base, like
they do those big redwood trees
out in California—as you used to
see on the calendars—and go right
through him. It's easier that way.
and far less walking than trying
to circumvent Ed.
0The boys around the hotel say
I've literally played something or
other. Rep. Clarence Quinn's type
writer wouldn't work the other
night. He's from Duplin County
and an ardent and conscientious
dry. So. I went up and fixed his
machine. Now. the boys say he's
going to type up a referendum bill
on it. and that I should have left
it locked.
0 Rep. Tom Pearsall, chairman of
the appropriations committee, ap
proached Rep. John Q. LeGrand of
Wilmington in the House Tuesday.
"Now, when the committee meets
this afternoon to hear the teachers,"
Tom said, "there's going to be an
effort to move the hearing from the
revenue building to the capitol. and
we don't want to do that."
"Why?" asked John.
"Because, if we get over here
they'll fill up the galleries and
there'll be a lot of whooping and
handclapping and hollering."
"What's wrong with that?" John
asked. "Are you scared of them?"
0The House was about to engage
in a little fun the other night when
Rep. McKinley Edwards of Swain
took control, and. although he did
't intend to. got a little too rough
ith tlie "tom-cat" bill.
Practically every person had an
amendment or something to send
up and let the clerk read, and Jet
it go at that. There were to be no
speeches against killing cats. I
sent up one that would prevent
the killing of torn cats after 10 p.
m.. but McKinley proceeded to
speak on his similar amendment.
He contended that the killing of
torn cats would destroy all cats.
And went further. Whereupon
Rep. Clarence Stone attempted to
stop him and the cat bill at the
same time. He couldn't do it. but
Rep. J. T. Pritchett of Caldwell
did.
#Bill Sabiston of Carthage was
up in Raleigh last week, inquiring
about the folks down home. So
was inquiry being made by Mrs.
Irene Oates Parker, who's cierking
in the House, who used to live with
the Murrills and who didn't know
Jim was a proud pa-pa.
#Had breakfast over at the Gov
ernor's mansion Thursday morn
ing. Gregg is still an early riser,
and despite the hour makes one
feel right at home. But. as last ses
sion. 1 wonder why the governors
don't invite the legislators to lunch
or something, instead of getting
them out of the bed in the midddle
of the night for breakfast.
0Maj. Ben I. Rose, chaplain of the
U. S. Army, of whose records 011
the fighting fronts the News and
Views has frequently had stories,
is the son of State Senator C. H.
Rose, Sr., prominent Fayetteville
attorney.
Major Rose, who did mission
work for the Presbyterian church
in the Kenansville, Beulaville and
Chinquapin sections prior to the
war. had an outstanding record
there, too. In the years that he
served that area he received more
people on profession of faith than
did any other minister in the
South, save in the extreme larger
towns.
0 Bus drivers in the Raleigh ter
minal invaribly have to tell trav
elers that the bus with "Jackson

Florida.
0 At home, things haven't changed
a bit. The barber shop still doesn't
have its full complement of bar
bers even at 9:30 a.m.
0 Ashley Seawell, who is a son of
Supreme Court Justice A. A. F.
Seawell and who did quite a bit
of abstracting here when the Navy
Department was acquiring property
for Camp Lejeune, was in Raleigh
the other day and inquiring about
lie folks in Onslow. Ashley now is
captain in the Army.
INDUCTED IN ARMY
0 Former State Senator John D.
Larkins, Jr., of Trenton passed his
pre-induction examinations at Fort
Bragg last week.
Hospilal Granted
Part of New ABC
Profits by Assembly
0 The General Assembly Friday
completed action on a bill author
izing the Onslow County Board of
Commissioners to appropriate up to
10 per cent of the net profits of the
ARC store for use by the Onslow
County Hospital.
The bill had been passed by the
Hou?e before going to the Senate
where it was adopted as law on
second and third meeting.
Under the measure, the hospital
may use up to ten per cent of the
net profits of the ABC store per
month for operations and mainte
nance expenses if they are needed.
The Federal Works Agency,
which erected and equipped the
modern institution here, has been
supplying maintenance and oper
ating funds since the opening and
while the hospital was trying to
get on its feet. An operating fi
nancial loss has been shown every
month so far. but the institution
is said to be rapidly acquiring
confidence.
The bill, it is estimated, would
allow the hospital use of approxi
mately $800 per month, on an
average, if the funds are needed.
Secure Permits
To Burn Property
After February 1
0 Beginning February 1. all per
sons burning off any property must
secure permits from the districts
forest wardens, it was announced
yesterday by G. R. Melville, coun
ty forest protector.
Melville said the law governing
securing of permits to burn would
have to be enforced this year, par
ticularly in view of the fact that
seven forest fires had to be ex
tinguished last week. There were
others, smaller however, but the
seven required considerable work
to prevent spread of the blazes.

To Tailman Street;
Everything's 0. K.
0 It's 110 longer Elin strict,
but Tailman street. And Ran
dall Tailman says all injustices
have been rectified.
The Town of Jacksonville
has taken down Hie Elm street
sign post and put in its place
a handsome affair reading
"Tailman Street".
That's the way the town
maps designate the street, and ,
have named it for some time.
But where in the world, says
Tailman himself, someone got
the idea it was Elm street he
doesn't know. There isn't an
Elm tree in the neighborhood
in the first place. And, besides,
he used to own almost all of
the property on that thorough
fare. and even donated some to
Onslow County so that the
the Community House, now the
USO Pine Lodge, could be
erected by the WPA.
But everything's O. K. now.

the State Federation of Labor, is
now being widely discussed which
would pay the lawmakers $25 a
day for every day of the session.
This year, for the first time in

session by Senator Archie Gay of
Northampton, and passed by both
Houses, increased the pay of cer
tain legislative clerks, stenograph
ers and typists. Stenographers now
are paid $6 a day. and typists, So.
There are 27 such clerks in the
Senate and 3(> in the House. All
Assembly employes who come from
towns outside of Raleigh are paid
five cents a mile for traveling.

the Senate payroll, and 74 are listed
in the House. A warrant officer and
a liaison officer are paid jointly by
the two legislative branches, and
each House has a chaplain who re
ceives $4.50 a day. Fourteen young
pages, including a chief page for
each House, serve the legislators,
chief pages received $28 a week
and the others $21. Reading clerks
for the Senate and House receive
$8 a day.
Aside from salaries and wage?,
the legislature's budget includes
such items as supplies and mate
rials. postage, telegrams, telephone,
rent of equipment. Costs of index
ing legislative .journals, printing,
binding, printing journals, session
laws, legislative manuals and bul
letins. run high. Then there are
mileage payments and committee
travel expenses. Total expenses in
the Senate for the bicnnium 1945
47 are expected to reach $64,207,
and in the House $110,792. The
Houses will share a $24,911 expense
in common. Senators' salaries will
total $30,700, and those of the rep
resen t a I i ves, $72,100.

sion, expenses totaled $9,701.
Further Reconversion
To Burning Fuel
Oil Halted by OPA

S. Johnson. OPA district director
has announced.
The move was made at the re
quest of the Petroleum Administra
tion for War, he said.
The action does not affect those

installed. It will, however, stop any
further reconversion except for
hardship cases, the director point
ed out.
He added that although rations
so far granted for reconverted faci
lities have not drawn materially
on supplies, they are being ruled
out in the effort to use every pos
sible method of holding civilian
consumption to the absolute mini
mum.

Expiration Dates Are
Again Placed on
Food Ration Stamps
9 Washington—AP—Acting to al
lay fear of another sudden invalida
tion, the OP A has set forth for
housewives a definite policy on
cancellation of food ration stamps.
Hereafter, the agency announced.
Red Stamps for meats and fats and
Blue for processed foods will ex
pire four monthj from the date of
issuance. This replaces the program
of indefinlie validity for these cou
pons which had been in effect since
last spring.
Sugar stamps also were given
fixed expiration dates again. Num
ber 34, now in use. will be invalid
after February 28. The next sugar
stamp. Number 35. will be valid
February 1 for five pounds and re
main through June 2. Sugar Stamp
Number 36 is scheduled for valida
tion May i.
OPA will continue to validate a
new series of Red and Blue stamps
at the start of each month, usually
five of each color at a time. Since
they will be good for four months,
this means that four blocks of each
kind always will be in use. expir
ing on a staggered basis.
The first Red and Blue stamps to
expire under the new system will
be those which came into use De
cember 1 and 3. respectively. They
will not be valid after March 31.
i I!(• v mciucie:
Rod- Q5. 115 and So; Blue—X5.
Y5, Zo, A2 and 132.
The now policy dears up uncer
tainly which has prevailed since
lale last month when OPA invali
dated without warning all food
stamps put in use prior to the start
of December.
Housewives had been promsied
advance warning of any cancella
tion. but the agency said the omer
«.!oncy measure was warranted be
cause food supplies were at a dan
gerously low level.
The new program. OPA said, was
designed to prevent accumulation
of large backlogs of unused stamps
as well as avert last-minute buying
rushes. With four monthes to spend
each series of stamps, housewives
will be able to space expenditures
evenly over the period, OPA said.
While definite expiration dates
were in effect prior to last March,
each series of stamps was good for
only seven weeks. This led to buy
ing rushes, the agency said when
the program was abandoned.
This is the schedule of expira
tion dates for other lied and Blue
stamps:
Red—T5, 15, V5, W5. and X5,
valid December 31, good through
April 28: Y5, Z5, A2. B2, C2. and

OPA-WPB Program
Will Make Low-Cost
Clothing Available
• R alei g h — \ .joint OP A - W P B
clothing program proposed to ihe
trade in Washington last week is
designed to reduce the average
family's clothing bill by (! or 7 per
cent and to make more of the essen
tial low and medium-cost clothing
available in more stores, Theodore
S. .Johnson. OPA district director
said.
Under the plan, a high propor
tion of civilian fabric production
will be reserved for manufacturers
of essential low and medium-priced
garments who will be given priority
ratings for fabrics based on their
garment output in the first half of
1943. This will prevent diversion
of textiles into less essential and
higher priced products.
A new maximum average price
regulation will return the average
price of such category of civilian
garments during the first half of
1945 to the average price levels of
the first half of 1943.
Under the plan, many of the low
and medium-priced cotton gar
ments will bo preticketted by the
manufacturer with the retail ceil
ing pi-ice expressed in specific dol
lars and cents.

American Ingenuity
And Salvaged Material
Help Move Food Crops
0 Dos Moines. Iowa—Salvaged
material about the farm and Amer
ican ingenuity are helping move
food crops to market in spite of
manpower shortages, a survey of
homemade gadgets used by Iowa
farmers indicates.
A few pieces of lumber and some
old machines parts made a bale
loader for hay. The bales are moved
up a ramp to a platform from
which they can be loaded easily on
a truck which furnishes power.
Field chopped silage is pushed
off a rack into a power blower
conveyor at just the right speed by
a chain windlass attached to a false
front end-gate.
When one manure spreader's
wheels wore out, its owner welded
auto axles and hubs into place and
the spreader now runs on ball
bearings and truck tires.
A discarded boxcar became a cow
cafeteria when bins were installed
inside feeding troughs at the nnd
and an automatic watering system
provided.
An old buggy became a substitute
for a jeep when an old gasoline
engine was properly attached.
Steered by the driver's feet on the
front axle, it can do 20 miles an
hour going after the cows or doing
other errands around the farm.
