DOWN EAST WITH BILLY ARTHUR * * v- v I m terribly sorry for what .lone to Harvey Bone v. Over at Coleman's they won't give him any extra biscuits and honey any more. Seems as if they read my disclosure of Harvey's racket. Anyway. I'm told he went in there the other day and did manage to wangle an extra bis cuit out of one of the waitresses, who was not then on to Harvey's doings, but was later wised up. and gave him a snappy comeback. "Where's my honey?" Harvey asked. "She works on the other shift." the gal replied. £A1cx (Hoc) Smith was telling Junebug Stallings—the one man band—about the pension plan the other day. and June told Doc: "1 don't want any pension as long as I'm able to do a day's work." » ^ Last Saturday, the 170th Birth day of the Marine Corps, was a gala one at Camp Le.jeune, but one chowhound sized it up this way: "It was all right." he said. "Only we didn't have any turkey. Last year on Saipan. we got turkey. Now that the war's over and we're home, we got hamburger." 0 You'll have to get somebody else to tell you why they're calling Valejitine McCabe of the USO "Stinky". # Note to readers: The News and Views does not print anonymous letters.

A1 was saying that Armistice Day had not been so good for business, that he didn't have much to do. and about that time Carroll Bryan passed by and spoke. "Can't I honk you for something tonight. Carroll?" A1 asked quickly. 0 Julius Segerman of Holly Ridge was all excited the other night about having caught a fish—six of them, he claimed. "Six mullet!" Julius exclaimed.

The lights were on between shows when Sam entered, and he tried to conceal the box between his knees until the lights went out.

I wanted to speak to Mrs. Taylor. "I don't know whether I want you to speak to her or not," Deane replied. "Why?" I asked. "If L call her to the telephone," said he. "I'll have to go in the kitchen and finish drying the dishes." 0 Lifting a couple of good ones from the Camp Lejeune Globe: The aggressive wife of a meek little man was taking her husband to task. While she was raving at him for his utter stupidity, the doorbell rang and some friends came to make a call. The little husband sat in dejected silence and listened to his wife and the friends talk. Suddenly, during a lull in the conversation, his wife glared across at him and shouted: "And don't sit there making fists at me in your pockets, either."

Burma Road, Vital In Wartime, Will Be Abandoned In Peace O Bombay • -i/P)— Announcement bv U. S. Army Headquarters in New Delhi that the new Burma Roac! is being abandoned reveals that the route is now worthless as a commercial highway and is not likely to be kept open by the Brit ish. To them, the road could only look like an avenue for Chinese infiltration into North Burma and the British have made it clear for decades that they want none of that. Probably for the next dozen years. Chinese traders with pack horse trains will carry their small wares into northeast India over the winding road while >ts thou sands of miles of pipeline will, in all probability, run into nothing ness. Then, probably, the jungle will move in and the road will be swal lowed. Like an old Roman road, it will be remembered only because small patches of it continue in use. As early as the autumn of 1942. when the road was mainly Gen. Stilwell's dream, there arose a controversy between the British and the Americans and among high ranking officers in the Amer ican Army as to whether ;he '-oad was worthwhile as a military effort. Gen. Chennault ooposed il rrom the beginning. He declared in pri vate that the effort spent on the road should be used to bring more supplies over the Hump air route for his famous 14th Air Force in China. The British in their turn tried to convince St il well that energy should not be v.ns'ed on the road, be put instead behind British efforts to retake Burma.
