0 Coleman Bynum claims the
Onslow County hospital should
have a room for expectant fathers.
It can be reported that Coleman
is back at work now. For several
weeks he wasn't seen around the
restaurant, and folks wanting to
know where he was were told that
"he's home expecting to go to the
hospital any minute now."
0Adail P. Greer says that he's
out of the Marines, and even
though he's working regularly, he
can't wait to get back to farming.
"I can hardly wait to get me
a farm with a mule, a cow, a pig.
a couple of chickens, four bird
dogs, four deer hounds, three
rabbit dogs, and lots of shotgun
shells. And get back to hunting
and fishing again, and let the wife
take care of the farm."
# Walked into the barber shop
the other morning and Brothers
Weaver and Cowan were looking
down the business end of a gun
and arguing if it would work.
It was the first time I knew that

0 Louis Howard. tRe radio mag
nate of New Bern, and pint-sized
Lester Gould, manager of the

happy because Louis said "I've
heard you've started growing."
"Well. I don't know," I told
him, "but the folks around liere
say that I look a lot taller than I
did before Lester Gould came to
town.'
0One of the fellows around town
suggested that the slogan for the
radio station WJNC should be:
"We Jerks Need Cash."
0One side of New Bridge street
looked like the old Jacksonville

Jim Lynch's barber shop was
wide open, but there wasn't a cus
tomer or a barber or anyone in the
shop; and a sign 0:1 the place of
business next door said it was
"Closed. Back at 5 p. m."
0They say that Julius Segerman,
the Holly Ridge fireball, was still
seasick as late as Tuesday morn

Without a watch or a clock, the
judge got down street Tuesday
morning to convene Recorder's

Italian Rye Grass
Is Recommended For
Winter Lawns Locally
By CHARLIE C. CLARK. JR.
Onslow County Arent
0 Several requests have been re
ceived recently for seeding winter
lawns. Italian Rye Grass makes an
excellent winter lawn and should
be seeded immediately. It can be
seeded directly on top of the al
ready established lawn and raked
in and should be thoroughly wat
ered, also should be fertilized with
a fertilizer, such as 5-7-5. Heavy
rye grass stands will weaken the
condition of the summer lawn. A
Bermuda grass lawn will stand up
better than most other type lawns,
however, It will be weakened some.
Therefore, the rate of seeding
should ba H to K pounds per
1,000 square feet of lawn. The
heavier rates to be applied on
Bermuda grass lawns. This grass
should be mowed often and close
throughout the winter and spring
to enable the summer grasses to
set a good start.

Jack Darden Gives Kiwanians First

Darden, who is the son of Mr

Jacksonville, said he made up his
mind not to be frightened and lot
to lose his head Surely I praved "
Darden admittsd. "but if fellows
looked at me they wouldn't have
known it. because I was keeping
my head up. But when you see old

knees, then you know something's
wrong. 6
Finally the ship went over to :10
degrees and laid on its side, but
there was no panic. Darden said,
ine men took their time getting
out and helping others.
The Onslowan said he didn't
know whether he was picked up
by a wave or the ship sank from
under him. However, the next
thing he knew he was 75 feet awav
on cold steel, almost a leap, and
without any jar at all. Then he
was picked up again by another
wave and all he knew he was
swimming for dear life.
"You think of a lot of things bad
that you've done, and a lot of
dirty deals pulled on you when
you re in a spot like that.'' Darden
said. Finally someone reached out

the 13th man aboard. The sea
would flip it over. The best thing
was to hold onto the sides of the
raft and stay in the water, but at
night they were able to stay
aboard. The first night two of the
men died and were put overboard
and five the next day and night
until only six were left aboard the
raft.
They didn't know it at the time,
but the Navy had picked up 24
survivors from the USS Spence
and 54 from the USS Hull and
had given up the entire comple

lost.
"Those planes that spotted us
were a pretty sight." Darden said
modestly, "but when I saw the

whether I wanted to take a chance
with it."
Another speaker on the pro

Jacksonville, Holly Ridge Would
Get Post Offices In Building Program
% Post office buildings for Jack
sonville and Holly Ridge, orected
wholly with Federal government
funds, are proposed in recom
men'dations to Congress by the
Commissioner of Public Buildings
in Washington.
The two Onslow post offices
would be a part of a nation-wide
Federal building program.
According to his recommenda
tion, $150,000 post office would be
erected in Jacksonville and an
$95,000 structure at Holly Hidge.
The commissioner pointed out,
however, that inclusion of a build
ing in the proposal is no indication
that a recommendation as to its
construction is to be expected in
the near future and that they may
not be constructed for a number
of years, if at all.
The nation-wide building pro
gram. of which the two Onslow
post offices would be a part, was

55 Deer Killed
In Hofmann Forest
On Opening Day
® Fifty-five door wore slain by
225 hunters Monday on the first
day of the opening week-long su
pervised deer hunt in Hofmann
Forest, it was announced yester
day by Supervisor James M.
Stingley.
The number was ten more than
were killed on the opening day
last season when approximately
30,000 more acres of the State
College forest tract were open to
hunters. That much acreage has
been closed this years because of
fire damage last winter and spring.
Stingley said all the deer were
fat and in good condition.
One of the largest bucks killed
opening day was bagged by Luby
Collins. It was a 185 pound buck
whose antlers almost met as those
of a moose.
Lonnie Griffin's party bagged
two deer back of the Deppe fire
tower, but that was not the biggest
news there. A total of 16 shirt
tails were cut as result of misses
by members of his party. They are
all nailed to a board at the Deppe
tower.
The opening day, except for the
heat and the mosquitoes, was per
fect, Stingley said, because heat
and mosquitoes don't stop deer
hunters opening day.

City Advisory Committee Organizes;
Askew Suggests Projects For Study
0 Organization of an advisory
committee which will consider
needed improvements in the City
of Jacksonville looking toward a
contemplated bond referendum
was started Monday night with
the election of Billy Arthur, edi
tor and publisher of the News and
Views, as chairman.
Members of the group are Mrs.
O. L. Russ. Gautier Jackson. W. L.
Ketchum and Maurice Margolis.
In a get-together session Mon
day night, Mayor Ramon Askew
asked the committee to study
water and sewer extensions in the
corporate limits, drainage, exten
sion of paved streets where de
sired by property owners, side
walks. street lighting, a citv hall
and jail building, playgrounds and
street intersections.
The mayor told the committee
that he consider water and sewer
line extensions and drainage the
two most serious needs of the
community today.
The committee will consider the
overall needs of the town and
advise with City Engineer Herbert
M. Eastwood, who has been au
thorized to make a survey of such
needs.
"This committee,' Chairman
Arthur said, "is merely an advisory
group, with no power except that
of recommendation to the govern
ing board. However, we shall en
deavor to make sensible recom
mendations in the hope that what
ever funds are sought in a bond
referendum will meet with the
approval of the citizenry."
The bond referendum is con
templated so that the city may be
ready, in event the referendum
carries, to take advantage of Fed
eral funds which Congress may
appropriate to assist communities
such as Jacksonville, which has
been handicapped by a lack of
public funds.
