Ore., Brooke Price telegraphed his mother, Mrs. Anne Price. But the telegram wasn't deliv ered. and Brooke got a report back that it could not be. because the house had moved. It was something new to him. because he didn't know the Price residence had been rolled from Court street to Ward-Darst Plaza: and he was alarmed. He didn't know what had happened to ibe folks—probably an atom bomb or something. 0Mrs. Marlene Burns, the gal behind the desk in the News and Views office, really liked Friday, October 5. That was pay day for the N&V. The Marines paid her husband that day. and her allot ment check came in. The Cubs of her home town. Chicago, won the third World Series game. 3 to 0. • It's a standing joke around the post office how some of the gals, who go home when thetr husbands ship out. write back and for the first time let the PO know they've changed mailing addresses. Almost every one of them writes only these words: "Please send my allotment check to this address." 0 Speaking of time and such, I once had a clock that was a veteran of three summer schools and three regular terms at the University of North Carolina, the New Bernian Hotel in New Bern, the P. O. Jar vis residence, the Riverview hotel in Jacksonville, 303 Warn street in Jacksonville and the Court street abode. I called it "Old Faithful." That loyal timepiece, which roused me from slumbers more often that than it tired and ran down disgustedly when I wouldn't get up and turn it off. is gone. It had been part of me since the first Sunday night—when one couldn't purchase merchandise at Chapel Hill—when I went behind the showcase and had it slipped to me. and then had Bob Blackwood carry it across the campus in the bosom of his lumberjack. I've had to take great care of it. It had but one leg and would con tinuously flop over its back as if it were about to pass out. But I'd revive it. One day about three years ago it did tick out, and 1 remembered how my father Uocd to run hot water through his clock; and I did that, and the thing seemed to catch its breath, its ticks rather, •nd continued until recently. I could tell it was getting old .nd feeble and tired, because it had slowed down considerably. 1 ran the guage up no less than four or five times, and it'd keep perfect time for a week or two and then the dope would wear out, and it'd slow down again. I'd been keeping it in the win dow of late, and possibly it caught cold or something. Anyway. I could tell that it was approaching a crisis. Well, the other night when the wind was blowing hard, the Win dow curtain moved swiftly in and pushed "Old Faithful" off the sill. With its one leg, it was too weak to resist. Bam! It hit the floor. But it bravely continued ticking. I picked it up and looked it over carefully. Nothing was broken outside, but 1 feared internal injuries!! Any way. 1 put it back in its resting place. It kept ticking. And 1 re sumed reading. Suddenly, I jumped. It had missed a tick. It hit again. And then died. Artificial respiration — I tried shaking—caused it to start up. as if with new life. But not for long, because it died again, and that time for good. Without its ticks and tocks. the whole room seemed bare. Now "Old Faithful" is gone. It is survived also by Nap Lufty of Reidsville, F. O. Johnson of Salem. N. M.. Frank (Hip) Slussor of Blacksburg, Va., and two girls from South Caroina who used my room while I was away for the week end. North Carolina Hybrid Corn Fares Belter, Demonstration Shows By CHARLIE C. CLARK. JR. Onslow County Agent §A meeting of farmers was held at Albert N. Venters' farm to inspect the official corn hybrid tests and to assist in housing. There were 40 different corns in the test and yields for open pol linated corn, such as Latham's Double and Jarvis ran from 50 to 60 bushels per acrc, whereas the hybrid ran from approximately 80 to 120 bushels per acrc. Some of the most promising hybrids, such as 4001, 4002. and 2167 yielding better than 100 bushels of corn will be ready for purchasing in 1947. It was also noted that most of the hybrid corns from the corn belt were severely damaged by weevils: whereas hybrids develop ed by North Carolina were not.

Victory Loan Drive Is Aimed At Selling Bonds To Individuals Was-hington.-—(/I5)—Secretary of the Treasury Vinson has announc ed victory loan purchase limita tions on savings institutions and in surance companies. In a letter he asked banks to "lake it easy" during the coming drive. The campaign is aimed at indi vidual purchases, assigned $4,000, 000.000 of the overall goal of $11. 000 000.000. There never has been any real difficulty in disposing of the war securities to other than individual investors beeau.se of the high re turn. Further, one of the prime reasons for each of the loans, other than obtaining necessary funds, has been to check-rein potential infla tionary spending by individuals with war-boosted incomes. Hence Vinson's assertion, in a letter to banks, that: "11 is highly important that ev ery effort be made to sell at least $4,000,000,000 of bonds to this group (individuals^ of investors. Until reconversion of industry from a war to a peacetime basis is well advanced or completed, and goods are coming into market in suffici ent volume reasonably to meet de mands. it is highly desirable to channel as much as possible of the avaiial.de non-bank funds into gov erned t securities."

Baptists Launch Fund To Erect New Building Ward Says Hope Of Eastern Section Lies In Industralizing Agriculture' # Eastern North Carolina's op portunity lies in "industrializing agriculture." State Senator P. L. Ward of New Bern, told the Jack sonville Chamber of Commerce in impromptu remarks at the October meeting at Tallman Street ISO Thursday night. Statistics show that North Car olina processes but one day's supply of fresh fruits and vege tables and one week's supply of meals that it consumes during ;i year. Ward said. "The markei is here, the land is here." he said, "and the money is in the process ing of the food after it has been produced. For processing skilled labor is used and wages are paid accordingly. Young people who are now returning from the armed forces are not going to accept wages of common labor: they will move on to places they can re ceive higher pay. And a section can't make progress unless it keeps its young men at. home." The remarks of the New Bern attorney and businessman, who has frequently been mentioned as a candidate for governor in 1948. were prompted by Farm Agent Charles C. Clark. Jr. Clark earlier had said lie hoped a freezer locker for Onslow Coun ts' would soon be a reality and that he hoped to have a slaughter ing operation in connection with the plant, pointing out that proc essed meat, particularly Onslow County hams, would provide a new source of income for Onslow framers. Clark is of the opinion that farmers need new income sources, because they cannot for ever hope to realize returns on a one-crop income—tobacco—as they have for the past three years. In his remarks, the farm agent said he also hoped someone would start the ball rolling for an inex pensive curb market building which would accommodate at least 50 farm-sellers of fresh produce and meats, lie reminded chamber members thai the second floor of a frame building now is being used and that it can accommodate no more than six sellers and six buy ers at. a time safely. Louis N. Howard. New Bern, one of the owners of W.INC. Jackson ville's radio station to open soon, said it definitely would try to take its place in the community and perform a public service.
