# Raleigh—Capt. Mart Fulcher
had some of the fellows down
Sneads Ferry way send me a
couple bushel of Stump Sound
oysters the other day. and I trotted
them out before some of the boys.
They were delicious, take it from
me. and the fellows really liked
them so much that it took me al
most a full day giving the address
and how they might be able to get
some for themselves.
Jake Wade, one of the news
papermen who has turned from
sports to legislative coverage and
doing a swell job. gave them a
plug in the Charlotte Observer.
Rep. John Umstead of Orange
isn't always reading bills before
the house when you see him with
something in front of his face and
it with a serious appearance.
What's he doing? He's working
cross word puzzles in a whole
book of them.
#Judge Walter D. Siler of Pitts
boro is one of the most humorous
men in the State, and when ho
gets up to speak or even sits and
talks in the Sir Waller lobby,
you're due for a bunch of good
laughs.
The judge appeared before the
finance committee the other day
as a lobbyist for "the little man"
in opposition to the proposed taxi
regulation bill, sponsored by the
taxi association of the state.
The association secretary said he
felt that taxi drivers and opera
tors were not considered high type
people, and that thi.s legislation
they seek would give them an op
portunity to improve their lot and
to become considered better citi
zens.
"Beware of the group who're
going to reform themselves," Judge
Siler countered.
"I recall several sessions back
that the barbers came up here to
Raleigh and said that they wanted
to regulate themselves. They
didn't wait for someone to .say it
was needed: they said they wanted
to regulate themselves. And what
happened: Self-regulation didn't
do a thing but raise the price of
a shave from 15 cents to fift cents,
and that with the same old razor.
"Down in Chatham county, our
taxi drivers are respectable people.
I don't know how the drivers are
in Durham and Winston-Salem,
but the secretary says they're a
bad lot. Now. I've always been
opposed to foreign missions, but
I'm willing to send some of our
Chatham county taxi drivers to
Durham and Winston-Salem, if
it'll help, and tell their drivers
how to mend their ways."
0Rep. Clarence Stone of Rock
ingham really had eggs for break
fast the other morning.
Attending the breakfast that
m Governor Cherry gives for mem
bers of the Legislature. Rep. Stone
received about twenty pounds of
scrambled eggs on his shoulder
when a waiter tipped the serving
tray.
Stone ?.ot excited and. instead of
brushing them off on Mrs. Cherry's
floor, dusted them from his should
er into his lap.
# Some of the fellows say it was
all the fault of Rep..Arthur Good
man. a Palestinian from Mecklen
burg County, that when Goodman
saw the tray of pork coming along
with the eggs, he shrugged his
shoulders, hitting the tray ot eggs
and tipping them over.
£If the Legislature makes a
co-ed school of the Woman's Col
lege at Greensboro. I might be
going back to school next year.
®From the Camp Lejeunc Globe:
If you should see Sam Munch.
Plumbing Supt., poking around in
odd nooks and corners, don't be
alarmed, he's not cracking up—
just pinch-hitting for the F.B.I.
Somehow—or—other he has been
"relieved" of one of the USMC
bikes assigned to the Plumbing
Shop, described as green, balloon
tired, with a box on the rear and
bearing the numeral "2" on the
fender. Any information concern
ing whereabouts of said vehicle
will be greatly appreciated, and.
incidentally, will take some of the
strain off Sam's mind.
What mind?
Lieut. Comdr. Kelly
Named Senior Catholic
Chaplain af Lejeune
0 Having just recently returned
after 20 months as a seagoing
Padrae in the Pacific. Lieut.
Comdr. Donald F. Kelly of Chica
go has been assigned to duty as
senior Catholic Chaplain at Camp
Lejeune.
Serving aboard an aircraft car
rier. he saw action with the fleet
at Wake, Marcus Islands, Tarawa,
Raboul and Bougainville.
Aside from his regular duties,
when in action he would relay
an "eye witness" account of ev
ents, over the ships address sys
tem. to personnel below decks.
Chaplain Kelly believes that "this
is a very important factor in that
it helps relieve battle tension.
During a naval battle there is no
thing worsts than to be below
decks where one can hear all the
gun fire but can sec nothing or
know anything of how the tide of
battle runs."
It was during one of these rgids
that his ship was damaged by a
torpedo hit.
Though having just arrived he
has already planned an extensive
religious and social schedule, in
cluding the organising of clubs
and dances.

FSA Farm Families
Hold Annual Meeting
In Jacksonville
©The annual meeting of FSA
Farm Ownership families was held
in tlie North Lounge of the Fed
eral USO building last Wednesday.
Mr. Hubert Jernigan. FSA Su
pervisor. discussed charts showing
the past year's income and ex
penses. A round table discussion
was held on reducing food and
feed cost.
Mr. Charlie Clark, county agent,
stressed the importance of well
cultivating crops now planted in
stead of increasing acreage: by
planting better seed: a different
variety of seed:, setting of plants
the proper depth: good fertilizer
and on sandy soil to apply fertilizer
in two applications rather than
one. He also stated that if hogs are
to be fed on soybeans, it is better
to start grazing on the beans when
they are about 12 inches high as
they have more food value at this
time. When the hogs graze the
beans down, they should be taken
off nf the beans in order that the
beans may continue their growth.
An application of soda should be
applied at this time.
Miss Laura Beatty. home agent,
stressed the importance of having
a well planned breakfast as from
1-4 to 1-3 of the day's food should
be eaten at this meal.
It is very encouraging to know
that all* of the Farm Ownership
families in this county are up to.
or ahead of date with their land
payments. Of the 31 Farm Owner
ship families 2 of these have paid
