"For instance." he said. "I was down at Swansboro the other day and at low tide you couldn't taste the salt." #Sgt. Cy Levine took a look at the discharge points system adopt ed by the Marine corps and moan ed that it didn't do him any good, that he couldn't get out of service. "They caught me with my points down." he declared. 0The happiest man in Jackson ville last week was Raymond Harts field. He was happy because the war was over, but still happier be cause gasoline rationing had been abolished and he could get off the OPA gasoline panel. 0 Stephen Leacock. one of the world's foremost satirists, once did a piece on "Americans Are Queer People." For its humor and satire and for its timeliness and message, we're reprinting it here: "Americans arc queer people: they can't rest. They have more time, more leisure, shorter hours, more holidays, and more vacations than any other people in the world. Hut they rush up and down across their continent as tourists; they move about in great herds to conventions; they invade the wild erness, they flood the mountains, they kept the hotels full. But they can't rest. The scenery rushes past them. They learn it. but they don't see it. Battles and monuments are announced to them in a rubber neck bus. They hear them, but they don't get them. They never stop moving. "Americans are queer people: they can't read. They have more schools and better schools than all Europe. But they can't read. They print more books in one year than the French print in ten. But they can't read. They buy eagerly thou sands of new novels. The last American who sat down to read died in the days of Henry Clay. . . . "Americans are queer people: they can't play. They want their work as soon as they wake. It is a stimulant—the only one they're not afraid of. They eat all night, dance all night, build buildings all night, make a noise all night. They can't play. They try to, but they can't. They turn football into a fight, baseball into a lawsuit.' and yachting into machinery. The little children can't play: they use me chanical toys instead—toy cranes hoisting toy loads, toy machinery ireading a toy industrial depres >n of infantile dullness. The .own-up people can't play: they use a mechanical gymnasium and a clockwork horse. They can't run: they use a car. They can't laugh: they hire a comedian and watch him laugh. "Americans are queer people: they don't give a damn. All the world writes squibs like this about them and they don't give a damn. Foreign visitors come and write them up; they don't give a damn. Lecturers lecture at them; they don't care. They arc told they have no art, literature and no soul. They never budge. Moralists cry over them, criminologists dissect them, writers shoot epigrams at them, prophets foretell the end of them; and they never move. Seventeen brilliant books analyze them every month; they don't read them. The Chinese look on them as full of Oriental cunning; the English ac cuse them of British stupidity; the Scotch call them close-fisted; the Italians say they are liars: the French think their morals loose; the Soviets call them ruthless. "But that's all right. The Ameri cans don't give a damn, don't need to—never did need to. That is their salvation." Clark Advises Farmers To Prepare Tobacco Properly For Market By CHARLIE C. CLARK. JR. Onslow County Agent #Thc Tobacco Association of the U. S. Bright Bolt Warehouse As sociation is asking and urgently requesting that all farmers mar keting tobacco this year do everything that they can to enable the buyers to handle the maximum amount of tobacco. Tobacco that cannot be dried is tobacco that the buyers do not want to buy. Do not tie your tobacco in large bundles. Do not tie tobacco when wet or in high order. Do not dip stems in water before tying and do not cover the butt ends of stems with tie leaf. Let's make an effort to tie your tobacco in neat medium size bundles consisting of about 20 leaves, sort your tobacco care fully and remove all strings. A little cooperation from you will help the companies to redry more tobacco properly in the same length of time and thereby help you in being able to sell your to bacco quicker. The redriers, buyers, and warehouse people will be extremely short of help and little things that you can do will be greatly appreciated and help ful in a more orderly marketing of tobacco this year.

Camp Davis Taken Over By Marines, Effective Sunday • The United Slates Marine Corps, effective Sunday, took over Camp Davis from the War Department and will use the facilities of tiy former Army camp as a part of Camp Lejeune. Although the first group of Marines went into Camp Da vis on Wednesday, the formal taking over came Sunday when the First Control Bat talion. commanded by Col. Ed ward R. Pefly, posted guards about the base and assumed operation of that military in stallation. While no official announce ment of its use was given by Camp Lejeune authorities, in formed sources at Washington said the Royal Netherlands Marines, now stationed at Camp Lejeune. would be transferred to Camp Davis. Another informed source said one of the considerations in acquiring the base was the 2.000 bed hospital. The base also is equipped with an air field. located in the center of the camp, and with more than 3.000 buildings. Rumor in Jacksonville that acquisition of Camp Davis meant abandonment of Tent Camp was without foundation. Construction work at Tent Camp is proceeding according to schedule, although some work is being held up now pending revision of architect's drawings. Building Inspections Will Be Launched Here Immediately O Inspections of business and res idential property in an effort to promote compliance with the North Carolina fire code will be started this week by Herbert \I. Eastwood, recently appointed building inspector for the Town of -Jacksonvilie. The inspections will be made of structures now lying within the designated fire zone, which extends 800 feet in all directions from the courthouse in mid-Jacksonville. Later the inspections are to be made of structures being within the proposed extended zone, which Town Attorney John D. Warlick has been instructed to draft. The Town board of commission ers has approved an extension of the fire zone and is awaiting War lick's drafting of the formal ordi nace before actually putting it in operation. In the immediate inspections to be conducted by Eastwood, he will have authority, according to the North Carolina Building Code, to order fire hazards removed from both business and residential prop erty, attics and basements cleaned out, and property repaired. Failure to comply with directions makes the property owner liable to court action, according to provisions of the code. Million-Year-Old Fish Goes To War At Belgrade Plant 0 BELGRADE. N. C.—Millions >r years ago a clam near here started building an airport. It was an ua calculated and unenergetic bit of labor, for all the clam did was to give one last push With his ingeni ous jet-propulsion mechanism, and. weary of life, expire and sink lo the bottom of the sea. There he was joined by a great miscellany of oysters and other mollusks until the ocean bottom was covered. In the course of millions of years, their skeletons were piled on top of each other for some 20 feet and became petrified into a solid mass of lock. Now. discovered underneath the lopsoil by impatient humans, the weary clam and his billions of kin are being dynamited into use again. In the past four years, over 3,000,000 tons of shell rook has been grubbed up. ground, and made into plane landing strips, as well as highways and other useful things. How many acres of the petrified shells there are has not been de termined. but the strata has been found as far as 20 miles away, and may extend further. No one knows just how long ago the shells deposit was started. But it rests upon a bed of sand which is believed to have been the bot tom of an ancient sea which at one time extended as far west as Raleigh. It took a long time for the little shellfish to build a bed 20 feet thick, and then something happened, and once more (perhaps for the 7th and last time) the At lantic was shoved eastward. For millions of more years, the then lofty Appalachians were eroded, and swift streams brought down silt and deposited it in a strata ten feet thick. Today it is fertile land, and farmers never drained that they were cultivating their fields above a massive layer of maritime skeletons. Exploiters of the deposits ihink the shellrock supply is almost in exhaustible and that it will come into wide use in postwar years for certain construction which now employs granite and other gravel. Don't Cash In Your War Bonds, Treasury Urges # Washington—f/P)—Treasury of ficials said there will be no at tempt to stop the cashing in of war bonds but they urged holders to retain them because the "United Stales has and will meet its obli gations."

Hoth Secretary of the Treasury Vinson and National War Bond Director Ted K Gamble renewed their pleas to the public not to cash in war bonds unless extreme urgency makes it necessary. "There will be no freeze of re funding." said Vinson. "The United States Treasury regards its bonds as contractual agreements between the United States and the pur chasers and the United States has and will always meet its obliga tions."

Uii Wyoming iets Firing Record But Never Was In Fight 0 The USS WYOMING has used more anti-aircraft ammunition than any other ship in World War Two. but has never fired a shot at the enemy. And. when this was written, she hadn't sailed beyond the Chesa peake Bay for more than 3 years. They call her the "Chesapeake Raider."

Navy Men Critical Of Discharge System, Say It Is Unfair # Guam—f/P) - Many Navy men in the Pacific, some of whom have seen sea duty "since the Coral Sea —May, 1942—are incensed over the Navy's discharge point system. They say it gives shorebound sailors, who served 'ill of the war in the states, an equal or better chance of discharge. Younger men who have been in many battles vehemently charge the Navy was unfair to put stress on age. none on battle stars. Officers are critical but none wish to be quoted, saying: "We're afraid to slate our opinions." Part of the resentment comes from the fact that if the Navy's battle veterans could figure points under the Army or Marines point systems, they would be eligible for discharge. Men just out from the states, with the same number of points as those who have been here 40 months and up, say they, too. think the system is unfair because they should not get an even break with the man who actually fought in many battles. Enlisted men are starting to bombard their families with letters asking them to apply pressure to get them home. Single men object to points for dependency, asking: "How can we get wives and fam ilies unless we come home?" The point system is about the only thing all-men talk about here. N. C.
