J<)'1 •'le, v PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR DOWN EAST WITH BILLY ARTHUR # 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.
