"That's the first time." Nealand declared, "that I ever saw Steve with a clean apron on." 0Mrs. Grace Carraway of Mid way Park, chairman of the Junior Red Cross in Onslow County, is an honest person, speaks her mind. When she told me 1 was to make a little talk at the Jr. Red Cross supper the other night. I asked why. "Well, somebody's got to talk while the girls are taking the dishes ofT the table: so I thought you'd be the best one." 0 Believe it or not: Rev. Carl B. Craig, an inveterate pipe smoker, without matches. 0Mrs. Minnie B. Durr and I were finishing up a bull session .in the post office the other morning and W. H. Cannon remarked that some thing was a-brewing. "Anytime you and Minnie B. get to whispering, something's up." he said. We told him anytime neither one of us could talk in whisper. §B. J. Holleman telegraphs from McCook. Neb.: "Tell Moxie (Maurice Margolis) that I mowed the pheasants down." I read it to both .Tack Thomp son and Moxie at the same time, Moxie on the telephone. Jack Thompson spoke un: "Lot ot' good that's doing us— way out there." And Moxie added via telephone. "He ought to send us some and not tell us about 'em." 0That wasn't thunder you heard Monday night. It was L. E. Rudisill. Sgt. E. T. English and G. P.

On the rear of it. he chalked for the benefit of passing motorists: "You are now passing a happy civilian." 0Onc of the local barbers acci dentally stumbled on a new sea ling for squirrels the other in. J ls he cooked them, he was nip ig on some orange gin. and had .. small tumbler about half-filled sitting next to the pepper shaker. When he reached for the pepper, he got hold of the gin and emptied it in the pot. We don't know whether he rec ommends that seasoning or not. but. as the old joke goes, his recipe sounds as if it would pro duce mighty fine gravy. 0 Rig and tough Moe Aurilio, the fearless Marine who uops bottle tops with his thumb, was headed to New York last Sunday via char ter plane out of Warsaw. The fellows piled in. and the contact was made. The propellor whirled, and the plane idled a few moments, and all of a sudden Moe declared he wasn't going. The fellows tried to keep 'him from getting out of the plane, but there wasn't anyone around big enough to tie Moe into :t. When he got back to the Club Roanoke Island, the folks were surprised, and wanted to know if he were scared. No, not big and tough Moe. Scared of an airplane? Not him. But he happened to think he'd better stay home. After all. it wasn't patriotic for him to be in New York while the fleet was in. That was Sunday. Monday night he caught the 7:03 out of Wilson for New York, fear of railroad trains never hav ing been in his blood and his patriotism overshadowed for the moment by the New York itch. f) Stolen from the CamP Lejeune Olobe: ,X.

With the reduction of per sonnel at Camp Lejeune. it was explained that from eight to nine workers would suffice in future operations. probably beginr ng January 1. A reduction in workers would necessarily mean a curtail ment of operations. All local agencies, reporting for the months of September and Oc tober. showed decreased attend ance at the clubs, caused, they ex plained. by closing down Tent Camp, the large number of dis chargees leaving Camp Lejeune and probably by elimination of free bus service between here and the base. Explains I'SO Position Ernest IT. Edinger. assistant re gional director, explained the position of the USO in the antici pated reduction in personnel and . number of clubs, pointing out that the United Service Organizations 1 was an emergency operation and • was never intended to be per manent. It will continue, however, , he explained, until the "boys come home." That is one of the reasons . the USO budget in the National . War Fund is $115,000,000 for the ■ remainder of this year and all of 1 next. However. Edinger explained. I provision of moral;' building faci - lilies in World War II has cost . only one-fourth of that of the first • world war. and he recalled that in the vear of 1010 the National War - Fund aski 1 for S210.000.000. and ' that was one year after the war enaeci. The United Services Organiza tions was an ambitious undertak ing and has worked successfully in face of what appeared to be in surmountable odds at the begin ning. Edinger said. In World War T, all the agencies operated separately, the Y..M.C A., the Y.W.I' A., the Salvation Army. Jewish Welfare Board. Knights of Columbus. Travelers Aid. to men tion -j few. and their efforts were largely duplicated with consider able exnense. All Working: Together At the outset of World War II. Edinger said, some people said that the groups could not unite and work together, contending that Protestants, Catholics and Jews, males and females, whites and colored, would not be mixed and function as one unit. "However", he declared, "that has been done, and it has worked sucessiully. The United Service Organizations is proud that all the groups have cooperated and work ed as one organization for the best interests of all. and done the job more economically, at one fourth of the cost incurred dur ing the first world war. "Here in Jacksonville," he con tinued. "the Catholics and Pro testants. men's divisions and wom en's divisions, and white and col ored have worked together. It is a remarkable achievement."

"There are a number of farmers in the section right now," he said, who have suf ficient cash on hand and in the 'banks to make substantial pur chases.
