VIII, NO. 7 JACKSONVILLE, N. C., TUESDAY. AI'GI'ST 7, 1915 mimhm;. associathi i-ki.ss PRICE $2.00 I'l l! YEAR DOWN EAST WITH BILLY ARTHUR < 9 Louis Howard was complaining the other day about Jacksonville not having any Western Union time, something we assume he needs for the operation of his radio station. "Why how do vou know what time it is?" he wanted to know. "Who cares what time it is?" someone asked. "Everybody wants to know '.he correct time," Louis countered. "We turn on the radio," he was told. "I know," Louis came back, "but in between the correct time on the radio, you don't know." About that time Sol Lerner came in. and we asked if he had the correct time. "Absolutely correct?" we asked. "Definitely." he said, and pulled out his watch. Whereupon Tom Guthrie, who's been getting along all right in these parts for years without a WU clock, pulled out his watch also. He, Louis and Sol were about a minute apart. So what? You get Western Union time, and the watches still would n't all be together. I don't know what we could achieve by having the Arlington time signals. There are some folks around here whose watches would still put up an argument. §Wp always thought B. .1. Holle man held the prize for having been in the largest number of different kinds of businesses during his life, but even now he's not relinquish ing his crown, although being pushed a little. Deane Taylor disclosed that he started out in life with a degree in forestry, later went with the Davie Tree company, then worked with a construction firm, later be came a traveling salesman, and now is in the gift shop business. And Col. John Wilson, the chicf of-stafT at Camp Lejeune. disclosed that he holds a college degree in— of all things for a Marine!—animal husbandry. That still doesn't top Holloman. who among the 17 <1 think that's what Albert Ellis finally computed the number of his business con nections to have been) different jobs has been in the undertaking business. §A Marine officer was telling the other day about how he had reformed. "I used to cuss all the time." he said "but since March I've cut down and now I seldom use a cuss word at all. It's not that I've be come a goody-goody, it's more be cause I've got a girl for a driver and a secretary." #The question has arisen "how lone is a week end." The general assumption is lhat t lasts from Saturday until late Sunday or early Monday. Rut some folks stay until I lie following Thursday. It has been suggested that the practice of a Charlotte woman be followed to eliminate a'1 misund-r standines. That lady put a sign in the bathroom, reading: "Week end with us means from Saturday morning to early Monday morn ing. If you remain longer, you will not get an invitation for a return engagement. Also, if you want to borrow any money while week ending with us, go to our next door neighbor." Frank Jones, the Charlotte real estate agent, puts it this way: "I find week-end guests after they have been on mv hands two days—begin to smell like a bunch of fish three days old. (They begin to stinkK There are just three times I like week-end guests— first time is the morning they arrive, and then twice the morn ing they take their departure. 'One thing certain, you better not re main a minute's longer than the "allotted time" if you week-end with me—if so, J am certain you will never get a rain check for a return engagement, and I might send for the fire department to come and get you out. With sugar and meat rationed as they are—I don't want any of you spending a week with me, when I invited you for a week end. Now be honest about it—Aren't you the same way?" 0The moon cast their two shadows on the rippling waters, which swished and swished against the side of the boat. They were alone and their separation from the rest of the world was magnified by the silence, broken at intervals only by the swishing-swishing which failed to disturb their thoughts. An eavesdropper even more naughty than the water would have heard nothing during the short flitting minutes, but he would have understood. Presently the young man, who had plans for a grand future, lifted his head, gazed admiringlv into her eyes and moved his lips to ward hers, he spoke in a whisper almost? "I'm nuts about you, toots." #The boys on the Courthouse lawn say that I'm doing everything I can to break up the Viewing Board. They say I'm editorializing for women to please wear more clothes, and if they do the Viewing Board can't function. TO CREATE OFFICE 0 Washington—(jT)—Senate lead ers were reported Monday to have deided to ask Congress to set up he office of world security council ' delegate without limiting the Pres ident's authority to use troops.

Werner Eubanks Recalls Four Campaigns Against Japanese Enemy By BRENT I. HANCOCK (The Parris Island Boot) 0 Machine guns is a pet subject of Gunnery Sergeant Werner II. Eubanks, senior D. I. of Platoon 417, Sixth Battalion. And small wonder, he's handled them for years: in Shanghai with the Fourth Marines, in Cavite. in Bermuda, in Samoa, on Guadalcanal and in the Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima campaigns. Recently returned from the Third Marine Division and Iwo Jima, where he completed the cam paign as executive officer of Baker Company. First Battalion. Twenty first Marines, the Gunny is work ing his second recruit platoon. And naturally, finding the duties of senior drill instructor somewhat different from machine guns: on which he could well be termed an expert. The one time electric-arc welder with Bethlehem Steel in Baltimore was awarded a Silver Star Medal for his work with his machine gun section on Guam. That was on the night ol July 25 and the morning of the 26th. a year ago. The Japs made an all out effort to crack the Twenty-first Marines' lines; and were determined that the Third Marine Division, which had landed four days previously on the Asan Adeleup beachhead, should be an nihilated. In a well conceived plan of attack the Nips did manage to break through the thin Marine lines, but their main effort was checked by the staunch stand of Marines such as Gunnery Sergeant Eubanks. He personally manned a heavy machine gun when the majority of his men had been wounded or killed and the other gun of the sec tion knocked out of action. When finally ordered to withdraw and regroup for a quick counterattack, there were two men left in the section. Three men had been killed, and the remainder of the section wounded. Securing a Browning Automatic Rifle from a wounded Marine. Eubanks joined a rifle platoon for the successful counter attack.

United Nations Peace Agency Will Meet In London On Thursday # London —— Representatives of 14 United Nations will gather here next Thursday to prepare for the birth of an international peace agency conceived in the hope that war never again will sweep across the world. They come from the historic San Francisco conference, where 50 nations hammered out a docu ment promising peace and security. Their task here will be to act as midwife for a new League of Na tions organization, a well-omened infant whose first breath of life may come only from ratification of the San Francisco charter by at least 28 countries. 'Diplomatic quarters in Wash ington saw a possibility that the 14-nation executive committee might postpone its first meeting for a week or so to allow time to complete the aopointment of dele gates. There also was the chance it might be put olT for several weeks to await the initial gather ing of the new Big Five Foreign Ministers' council in London about September 1.) Officially, the body will be known as the LTnited Nations In terim commission. Its members, former members of the San Fran cisco conference executive com mittee. represent Australia. Brazil. Canada. Chile, China. Czechoslo vakia. France. Iran, Mexico, the Netherlands. Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Yugoslavia. To this commission will fall the assignment of calling all 50 of the United Nations into a plenary ses sion as soon as the charter takes effect—probably before the end of the year, depending upon how soon the required 28 nations have ratified the Golden Gate docu ment. In the meantime, the 14-mem ber commission will get ready for the first world organization meet ing, work on dissolution of the old League of Nations, recommend a home for the new organization, plan for the establishment of a permanent secretariat, and make nominations for an international court of justice.
