PER COPY $2.00 PER YEAH Contribute Generously To The National War Fund This Week • JWN EAST WITH BILLY ARTHUR #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.

"MMINAL SAYS HE'S JEW ^ leneburg, Germany — f/P) — z Schlomowicz, one of the 45 »ntration camp guards on ui for war crimes, startled a 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.
