Si Yi «1 A f DOWN EAST WITH BILLY ARTHUR alph Culbreth wanted a radio ..d some screen wire for his Sneads Ferry abode, and sat down and or dered it from Sears and Roebuck, sending them the prices quoted in the latest catalog. He got a letter back from Sears saying they didn't have it. and Sam got all hot and bothered and bun dled up the catalog and sent it to Chicago with a note advising them if they didn't have what they ad vertised. then to use the catalog for its popular rural purpose. Whereupon, he received from Sears the screen wire, 'he radio and his check back. Didn't cost him anything. 0Stove Stefanou started limping the first of last week, and the "oiks wanted to know why. He explained that son Georgie had lefl some thing in the walk and he fell over it. We didn't know until the last of the week that Steve was to take the Shrine at Wilmington. When we confronted him with the accusation, little Georgia was present, and son George is an hon est fellow. He denied having left anything out of place for dad fly to fall over. That is, he denied it un til Steve whispered in his ear, and then Georgie said it was so. We suspect that Steve threatened to cut off his allowance. Wonder if he's got nerve enough to do it now? £Bill Brendle and Billy Durk Aman have been frequent squirrel hunters in Blue Creek section lately, so I've been told, and they haven't brought home much. In fact, they haven't been able to find much to shoot at. so little ihat they've been looking for a new spot to hunt in. Now. they've found it: right in front of their house on Mill Ave nue. A squirrel has been making his residence in a tree there, and one day last week Billy Durk got so close to him he could swing at him with a curtain rod. 01f you want to see someone hopelessly involved in something, you ought to catch me trying to run a month-end balance on my books. In the first place—I don't know whether I've told about this ac tual happening before or not—my college mathematics grades were only fair. In fact. I almost didn't get through that last required course to get out of the freshman class. The professor was a reaiisuc sort of a chap, (hough, thank good ness. and about the middle of the term he called several of the boys up and told us we'd have to ^nukle down if we expected to s the course. Then, he added , k he'd give us the benefit of ■ " doubt if we showed him we .e working and really trying. »• rankly, I did try. but parabollas and parellelograms didn't make sense to me. and when the time for the final exam came. I had a grade of about 50. way below pas sing. However. 1 had nerve enough to go in for the final exam: and when he finished putting it on the board, he called out several names, mine included, and invited us into his office. First, he addressed the other fellows, all Phi Beta Kapoa men. an told them thev were wast ing their time, that their grades had been so good no mark they'd make on their final would affect it. Then, he addressed me: "Mr. Arthur.' he said, "neither will any grade you make on the exam affect your final mark El even closely bring it to passing. You've showed me you tried, so I'll make you a proposition: Since you're taking math only because it's required for an AB degree, I'll pass you on this course on one condition." "What's that?" 1 asked. "On condition that you give me your solemn promise never to take another course of math while you 're a student in the University of North Carolina, and so disgrace my teaching ability." "I promise." I replied. And. brother. 1 never darkened the doors of that math building from then until graduation. In fact. I don't even like ihe looks of the building even now. But it was with that background that I went into the books last u/»»plc I found that figures don't lie — and that quite often when I handle them, they don't even stand up. If that ledger had the power of thinking, it probably had a reac tion had a mathamagician had hold of it. But laboriously we got through with them, although it required a little maneuvering like the story about the fellow who was appoint ed executor of a friend's will and drove his horse and buggy out to the farm to read it. The story goes that the deceised person had 17 mules and wanted to divide them between his three son s. The will said that one half of them was to go to the oldest son, one-third to the next, and one ninth to the youngest. The executor couldn't figure out how he was going to make such a division with 17 mules. Finally, he hit upon a solution. He took the boys out in the yard, unhitched his own horse, and put it in the lot with the mules, making 18 animals. Then, he gave nine of them, which was half, to the oldest son; six of them, which was one third, to the next; and two, which was one-ninth, to the youngest. Nine, six and two make 17. he reasoned then took back his own horse and drove on me, his duty performed. \S OPPOSE CONSCRIPTION Tokyo—(/P)—United States sol ders attending a veteran's com mittee debate on universal peace time conscription voted 177 to 84 against it. Radio Controlled Plane Here his Week 300 Filled Stockings Will Be Furnished Hospital At Christmas 0The camp and hospital commit tee of the Onslow County chapter of the American Red Cross has volunteered to furnish 300 filled Christmas stockings for the pat ients at the Naval Hospital at Camp Lejoune at Christmas time, it was announced yesterday by Mrs. Mary Lily Blake, committee chairman.

Brock of Rich lands came to town Friday after noon and told the folks that the Brock gin most assuredly had not been sold, although it isn't operat ing just now. The News and Views reported Friday, based on information it had received, that the popular gin —the last one left in the county— had been sold to the New Bern Cotton Oil Mill. Even though 1945 is one of the poorest cotton production years in history of the county, he said. "We 're buying cotton when it's offer ed.and if we get enough we'll gin later on." Brock said he wanted the public to know. "So far we've been able to buy only a few bales, but not like we used to, and not enough to start ginning yet. But we want to buy and we want to gin." He said he doubted 25 bales of cotton has been raised this year in the county, where years ago enough was produced to warrant as many as 22 gins at one time. In a prepared statement. Brock said: "In rel||§G»ce lo the article in Friday's News and Views. the own ers of Brock's Gin in Kit-111 inds have been informed ihat Mr. I N". Sanders has made ihe statement that they had sold out. Tho\ have not sold and have no thought of selling instead. I hoy s'and ready to give the best service possible to their customers, now and in the fu ture. They regrel that on account of conditions this year ihat very lit tle cotton has been grown. but they hope the future will bring it back to its throne. Also, in correction of anovher statement in the same article, .he late 1. M. L. Brock did not buy 1he old Hand CJin. but he bought a lot and built a gin which he equipped with new maehiner\. Sinco then other new equipment, such as a hydraulic press. cleaners to remove the trash and dirt from the cation, etc.. has been installed ill order to give the best service.''
