C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1945 member of the associated press ]»ricE: 5c PER COPY 82.00 PER YEAH | DOWN EAST • WITH • BILLY ARTHUR 0 They were talking about the Italian coin when I walked into Peck's the other morning, and they admitted the first time they knew where it came from was when they read the News and Views. However they had already known it was in the joint, because it had been passed along and someone had dropped it in the iuke box. That contraption's magnet had detected its good-for-nothingness, and the machine went on ihe bum until it was removed. When Peck saw the item in the paper, he was determined ;o get even, and told the boys so. But they didn't waste any time getting after him, particularly L. E. Rudi sill, who was drinking a cup of coffee. But Rudy should have walked out without paying. When he got his change, he got that coin, didn't notice it and shoved it ntu ih'? inner recesses of his pocket— where it probably is right now. 9 Long, tall, dark and handsome Wade Higgins is a papa, but he missed his supper becoming one. The Higgins and the J. P. Boyds were to have supper at the Boyd mansion Saturday evening. The Higgins were to furnish the ham burger, and the Boyds were to supply the potato salad, bread and iced tea. Everything went according to schedule, for awhile at least. The Higgins arrived with the ham burger. but they couldn't stay for long. The hospital beckoned. That's something Wade'll never forget. He's still talking about it. Missing his supper, I mean. §A lady went into J. B. Pette way and Son grocery store Sat urday to do some trading, and was telling about it later. "You know, a new person waited on me," she said. "I've never seen him in there before." "Must have been Elliott Pette way." I suggested. "It was,"' she said. 0 Whenever a fishing boat with Maurice Margolis aboard so much as points its nose outside. Maurice usually gets seasick, but he didn't Sunday. However, Sam Leder and Julius Seggernian did. Sam went below to the bunk at the first suggestion of deep sea fishing and didn't come out until they crossed the bar on the way home. Julius was the worst of all. He sat down at the stern of the boat and held his seasick self overboard so he wouldn't mess up the boat. He was so sick, that, even though was Sunday, he was crying: ^ ly didn't I have the store open ® y? Why didn't I stay open?" 0Just as I predicted about the time, folks got it confused. The colored First Baptist church bell tolled for Sunday school at 8:30 a.m., and the folks attended anyway. Those who were expecting to gain an hour's sleep probably had the same experience I did. Aunt Carrie came in at 7:30 a.m. and waked me, wanting to know when the clocks were going to be turn ed up or back, whether it was Sunday or Monday. The new time made no differ ence to babies. They had their parents up at—well, it was too early, anyway. R. R. Tallman made one of the few observations about tile ef fects of the new time: "Certainly is going to be a long time 'til dinner today." T5 Carol Petteway Raised To Sergeant .

The area released includes a three-mile cruising area around around the field and a two-mile wide channel due west in and out of the field. Already 1.400 feet of the initial runway has been completed, and. airport officials hoped that weather would be such as to per mit completion of at least 400 more feet by today or tomorrow.
