C., Tl KSDAY, Jl NK 26. 19 PRICK $2.00 PER YEAR | DOWN EAST WITH | BILLY ARTHUR #We rightfully got a letter last week addressed to: "The Newspaper at Jacksonville, North Carolina." $VVo were not so prophetic in our little meat shortage story last Friday. No sooner did we hit the mails with the paper than the meat trucks showed up in town and made us out a liar in no uncertain terms. Rut. what fun bring a liar when you can get meat! 0You girls haven't a thing on me. I wash out my undies each night also. But my bathroom doesn't look like a sorority house with things hanging here and there. I just drape mine over the towel rack and lot 'em shift for themselves. But T have come to know the fed of a clean pair of briefs early in the morning. It's all right, isn't it. 41 And speaking of such things, the other afternoon we got to talk ing about sleeping, and one of the fellows said he liked to sleep in the raw during the warm summer months but that his wife wouldn't let him. So he solved the problem by donning, not pajamas, but a pair of his wife's panties. This fellow recommends them for everyone's use. He declares that they are snug, will not crawl, and will not stick to your hide when you perspire. Besides, they're thin and cool. 0 Another littjc chore I've,boon doing to make a good husband for myself is sewing on buttons. I've learned that a button a night wi'l keep the rag man away. Before taking up my reading in bed, I get out a shirt and sew on whatever buttons are missing. It's great fun, and while you're doing it. you can think of the swellest names to call the wash woman for knocking them off. It's not altogether sissy for mo to sew on buttons, because 1 used to be adept with a needle. Don't you remember my tolling how I used to crochet and embroider? Anyway. I got to thinking I'd better get married so I'd have someone to sew buttons on mv shirt. But 1 recalled someone paid a married man seldom has a shirt. I was weighing the two thoughts yesterday when a fellow sold me on the idea of staying single. He said he "used to think that with a house full of girls all my buttons would be sewed on and my son darned, but I'll be doggone if I now can find any sox." That was enough. Q I've finally done it—caught a fish while trolling. For twelve years I've been in Eastern North Carolina and have n't missed a summer goins fishing for mackerel or blues, but not until the past week end had I ever landed one. It was that I had been fishing in toug.i luck. Whenever I was out there, the fish were not. and whenever a fisherman friends would telephone that they were running that day. it was impossible for me to get away. But I finally did it. Farm Labor Critical, Needed To Harvest Tobacco, Says Clark By CHARLIE C. CLARK. JR. Onslow County Ajrcnl 0 Farm labor is more critical this year than any time since ibe war started. The farmers have been called on to continue with high produc tion for thisiyear and they have accepted the challenge even in the face of depleting farm labor. The continued high demand of our armed forces has. and is still tak ing. the young men from the farm. This means that if all crops planted are saved and housed that non farm people will have to help. Farm work is among the most cri tical classes of war time employ ment. Our food and fiber is at its lowest level since the beginning of the war. The farm population has been able to plant and cultivate the crops, but they are not able to do all the harvesting. During the next six to seven weeks tobacco harvesting will be the most rushing farm job in this county and the farmers need hun dreds and hundreds of farm hands. You. as a boy. girl, man or wom an, can perform no greater a pat riotic duty than to make yourself available to help farmers in this county. No one should feel he can not help—we neerl men, women, boys and girls. Those who can spend part of their time or can do a full day's work: and those who can spend their entire vacation on farms within the county. Actually we need you as soldier replace ment as surelv as we need new troops in combat. COMMANDS WR'S £ Captain Ruth S. L.

OPA Increases Gas Rations For Pleasure Boats; Unlimited Use #Thc 'Raleigh District OPA yes terday called attention to a recent change permitting a 50 per cent increase in the maximum amount of gasoline which may be issued to boa1-owners for their personal use of boats. "Under the new ruling." the announcement said, "present limi tations on gasoline rations for per sonal use of boats will be increased from 24 to 3G gallons quarterly for inboards. and from 10 to 15 gallons for three-month periods for out bb:air.ds. "This boat ration ceiling in crease is similar to the increase beins given al] A-book car owners, effective July 22. "The largest increase in rations of gasoline for boats has been granted to inboard motorboats used in conducting fishing parties. This increase is designed to per mit more fishing and add to the nation's short food supply. For this use not more than 1.200 gallons quarterly will be issued for in board motors and 124 gallons quar terly for outboards. "Both the War Food Adminis tration and the Bureau of Fisher ies advised OPA that party fishing will make a substantial contribu tion to the present short food supply. "Boat owners who use their boats for such business purposes as conducting pleasure or hunting parties—other than fishing—may now receive gasoline of not more than 124 gallons per quarter for inboard motors or 20 gallons per quarter for outboard motors. "None of these increases affect commercial fishing boats, since these boats already get full rations for their needs. RETURNS FROM OVERSEAS # Pfc.
