# ILLY ARTHUR
0 We really had to behave our
selves this week what with ;wo
upstanding men as Paul Venters
and Newton Cook on the grand
jury, and Jim Collins. Jim Lynch
and Bob Hartsfield on the petty
jury.
And to think, all the while I
thought the war was over and they
could again put men on juries!
0John 1). Larkins. Jr.. always
has a good story up his sleeve, and
he related it at the Kiwanis club
meeting the other Jay.
It concerned a colored nreacher
teiling his congregation about the
wonders of science, particularly
radar.
"Do you realize," he asked,
"that with radar, a man can read
on a chart that an airplane is
coming, and can tell how fast it's
moving? And did you know that
he can tell when a submarine ?s
near and how deep it is down in
the water? It's wonderful. There'll
come a day when a soldier in
Europe can sit in his foxhole and
tell what's going on at home, and
who might be running around
with his wife."
"To hell with that thing!" a
voice in the back exclaimed.
0For once Jack Peck was flab
bergasted.
Nathan Katzin and he engaged
in about the following the other
morning, before Nathan walked on
out without paying.
"Gimme a coca cola." Nathan
said.
"OK!"
"How about swapping it for a
cup of coffee?"
"OK!"
Nathan drank the coffee and
started out. but Peck stopped him.
"Hey. you didn't pay me for the
coke."
"I gave it back to you."
"Then, you didn't pay me for the
coffee."
"I gave you the coke for the
coffee."
0 Coincidence:
For months lately I've heard
friends speak of Ed Dudley of J.
S. Bache company in Raleigh. The
other evening we were together
for several hours before he finally
disclosed that as children his
sister and I used to play together
in Charlotte long years ago.
0 Harvey Walker, who used to
manage the Riverview hotel and
annex for B. J. Holleman. is now
in Raleigh and sends regards.
0Another coincidence:
Hf all the taxis and taxi drivers
t urham, we—Elliott Petteway,
Shugart. Vic Venters and I—
n one driven by a person
.od. of all things, Pettiway.
John Thomas Pettiway, his name
was.
0The gals in the cafes better
watch the way they ask if one
wants sugar and cream in their
coffee.
The other day one of the gals
inquired of me and I misunder
stood her. thinking she asked:
"Coffee, sugar?" instead of
"Coffee? Sugar?"
It's all in the way it's said. Or,
in the way I take it. Could be!
0Wonder if Dewey Edwards was
actually trying to turn the water
meter back when he was all over
the sidewalk with his arm in the
meter box the other morning?
0 Oscar Robinson, the colored
fellow who takes care of the care
taking around the Courthouse, was
putting up stoves yesterday while
the folks in some offices shivered
in the early morning.
Oscar says he isn't running be
hidn the season; instead, the sea
son's running ahead of him.
£It wasn't the noon whistle or
the fire siren you heard yesterday
about 10 a. m.
It was only Mrs. Margy Nichels,
the Hartsfield Brothers' bookkeep
er, who had just seen a mouse.
0 Do you folks have the same
trouble 1 do?
I retire by the time we're using
now, and awake at the hour I used
to. Therefore, I lose an hour's
sleep every night.
Or, don't you get it? Quite con
fusing. isn't it?

capped person can perform des
pite the physical limitation." Mr.
Dillingham said. "With the USES
given responsibility in all com
munities for assisting veterans to

limit to our capacity for placing
them will be the limitations placed
