#1 was making a purchase of
some handkerchiefs last week and
casually remarked that the 23c
ones were those that used to sell
for 5c each.
"No, no," Mrs. W. T. Adler re
marked, and I thought her feel
ings were hurt. "Two for a nickle,"
she added.
0 Folks at the jail fared w?ll last
week, so well that several persons
around town were figuring on try
ing to break into the county bas
tille.
The reason:
Deputy Sheriff James Likens,
who is also the jailer, went deer
hunting Saturday before last and
killed a big buck. Therefore, the
inmates at the jail ate vension sev
eral times during the week.
0Sam Leder, Rudy Rudisill. Jack
Peck and I were listening to the
Navy-Penn game Saturday after
noon. and the announcer remrak
ed that 73,000 persons were watch
ing the contest at Philadelphia.
Always one to think about such
things as money. Sam said he'd
like to have the money that the
folks at the game spent for alco
holic beverages.
I told him I would have prefer
red to have the money the folks
spent for the clothes that they
wore to the game.
"I'd just take the cash that they
paid to get in," Peck said. "You'd
have to find a sale for the stuff
you boys are talking about, but
I'd have the cash already."
• Morris Trachtenburg admitted
the other day that he was slightly
afraid of the airplane ride to New
York last week, but that he was
determined to make his first air
voyage sometime or the other.
He went on the same trip that
Moe Aurillo backed out of.
"I wasn't going to be called a
sissy," Tracht told friends. "If I'd
have come on back home, that's
what they would have said about
me, and it would have been writ
ten up in the paper. See what hap
pened to Moe. don't you?"
0 Newt Sanders killed a big
chicken snake in his chicken
house at Bear Creek the other
night.
The snake, had crawler' into a
nest in whicfi a hen was setting
on a duck egg, and had swallowed
"gg
• t chopped off the snake's
nd left it in the yard over
.e next morning he took a
stick and worked the duck egg out
of the stomach portion of the
snake, and found that the egg
hadn't been damaged a bit. Where
upon he put it back in the nest,
and the hen returned to her set
ting and hatching.
0They tell me that Eddie Elling
ton, Roy Kelly and Sidbury went
hunting Saturday morning and
came home with a string of fish.
0That reminded me of a hunting
story about a father whom I used
to know real well who took his
son with him on a search for a
few rabbits. They jumped five to
the fellow's delight, but he was
disappointed in the marksmanship
of his father, who missed three of
the five shots.
The son couldn't understand it.
"Daddy." he said, "you shot 'em;
why didn't they stop?"
0 Speaking of shooting and miss
ing, they used to tell a story about
John Lamb up New Bern way who
was bemoaning one time the fact
that although one of his dogs was
the best locating birds and hold
ing them to a point, it just would
n't retrieve.
"He'll find 'em and stay set
right on a point for hours," John
declared, "and when you shoot,
he'll tear after them but he posi
tively refuses to bring 'em back.
What do you do in a case like
that?" he asked.
To which Dr. E. F. Menius could
n't resist remarking:
"Better get someone to go along
hunting with you who con hit
birds when W shoots."
TRUCE IS APPARENT
0Batavia, Java—(4*) —President
Soekarno of the "Indonesian He
public" was reported Thursday to
have arranged a truce at Soeraba
ja between native Nationists and
British Indian troops after the
bloodiest fighting of the Allied oc
cupation of Java. Soekarno rushed
to intervene in serious street fight
ing in which Indonesians manned
Jap armored cars and light tanks.
CIVIL WAR RAGES
0 Chungking— (/P)— Reports of
heavy fighting between Communist
and Central Government troops in
north China Monday pictured a
nation locked in civil war, real
though not officially declared. The
warfare is growing in Intensity In
Shantung, Shansi and Suiyuan
provinces, said dispatches receiv
ed in Chungking.
"MMINAL SAYS HE'S JEW
^ leneburg, Germany — f/P) —
z Schlomowicz, one of the 45
»ntration camp guards on

Britisli military court by asserting
that he is a Jew. Two affidavits
accused him of beating prisoners
at Belsen. Schlomowicz expressed
surprise, saying he thought his
accusers were his friends.
'Old Faithfuls' Are Asked
To Help In Victory Loan
0.J. J. Cole, auditor of Ons
low County, made the first
purchase yesterday of a
"Roosevelt Bond", touching off
the Victory Loan drive here.
Cole made his purchase
bright and early yesterday
morning from Acting Postmas
ter Frank Smith.
Chairman T. C. Thompson yes
terday called upon the organiza
tion that has piloted Onslow over
the top in seven war bond cam
paigns to lead the county effort in
the last and Victory Wai Loan
drive.
However, at oresent •he county
is without a chairman of the Wom
en's Division, and no one seemed
to know yesterday whether one
would be appointed or not. The
appointment is made by Mrs.' Karl
Bishopric. Spray. North Carolina
Women's Division chairman.
Onslow County's quota in the
final drive for bond sales to fi
nance the war and maintain vic
tory will be $372,000 of which
$240,000 is in Series E bonds.
To attain that quota. Thompson
has again solicited the same or
ganization that heined in the last
three and four drives, including
such people and groups as Mrs.
Lillian Ray at Bear Creek. C.
Graham Jones at Belgrade. D. W.
Shaw in Richlands township, the
Riehlands Lions club, the Holly
Ridge Rotary club. C. Bruce Hun
ter at Dixon. Alton Capps at
Sneads Ferry. N. N. Mattocks at
Swansboro and K. T. Knight. Jr.,
at Midway Park.
The chairman said he was con
fident that "our people will again
do their part in this campaign.
Thev always have, and I don't be
lieve they'll fail this time. It's the
last bond drive."
One incentive for business
houses and individuals who make
comparatively large bond pur
chases is that the negotiable trea
sury bonds will be on sale at par
value during this month for the
last time. After December 8. when
the campaign closes, the negotiable
bonds, the two and one-half and
two and one-quarter per cent
issues, will have to be purchased
on the open bond market as any
other bonds or stocks.
Lack of a women's division chair
man. however, may make s:;me
difference in volume of Series E
bond sales, it was believed. It has
been the women of the county
who have buttonholed and sold
the Series E issues in the banks,
at post offices, in business estab
ments and even house-to-house.
Mrs. Deane C. Taylor, women's
division chairman in the 7th War
Loan drive, could not accept the
leadership in the ensuing and final
campaign because of business in
terests. and Mrs, David Sabiston,
State General of the Blue Star
Brigade in the 7th and former
chairman of the women's division,
said it had been impossible to
secure a successor for her.
Japan Takes Hope
It May Regain Its
Place Among Nations
0 Tokyo— CP)— Unofficial Japan
Monday took hope from President
Truman's enunciation of Foreign
Policy that Nippon eventually
might regain a place in the econo
mic and political society of the
nations, but not one government
official would comment.
Kodo, one of the Emperor's clos
est advisers, spent the entire morn
ing conferring with Emperor Hiro
hito after reading Truman's speech.
On the occupation front. Gen.
MacArthur ousted Jap officials
from St. Paul's Episcopal Univer
sity. directed the Jap government
to restore the Christian curricu
lum immediately, and demanded
an accounting of 81 other schools
once supported by American gifts.

EXPECT MacARTHUR VISIf
0 Washington—OP)—Wa|r aepart
ment officials said they assumed
that Gen. Douglas MacArthur,
Pacific theater commander, would
come home for a visit "in the near
future." The general has been in
vited by the House and Senate to
address a joint congressional ses
sion whenever he returns. Reports
were current that MacArthur would
be here between November 1 and
November 7.
Truman's N. C. Visit
Evidently Cancelled;
Not Official, However
% Washington— ;/P)— Presi
dent Truman evidently has de
cided not to take weekend trip
to North Carolina and Georgia.
The President has made no of
ficial announcement, but R. J.
Thomas, head (TO lTnited Au
to Workers, said in Detroit he
would confer with President
Truman in the White House at
11 A. M. Friday. It apparently
means he has decided he can
not spare time for his project
ed southern trip.
