I<)ir> member or the associated press price : 5<- PER COPY 82.00 PER YEAR DOWN EAST WITH k BILLY ARTHUR jmos Street, the author who addressed tiie Eastern North Caro lina Press Association at Wilson Friday night, pulled a good one that I can't wait to get around a Texan and pass on. He was talking about the weather out there. "The wind really blows hard," said he. " and so do the Texans." 0 Harvey Laffoon. president of the State Press Association—who sent regards te Tom Shugart. handed down a recipe for an en joyable talk: 1. A good start. 2. A good ending. 3. Put them as close together as possible. 9 For years peoplo have been casting aspersions, being very cri tical and otherwise slandering my ability to write. They have had some mighty unkind words to say about the legibility of the results of my pushing a pen or a pencil across a sheet of paper. But now. the worm has turned. When someone else in the office took the notes on the recent ion for Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Leon Gray, to me one part of ihe writ ing looked as if they Grays had been given a silver picture. So I made it a 'silver framed picture." However, it was a beautiful two quart pitcher that the Grays were presented. Anyway, some of the women were talking about the boner the other evening and one of them remarked. "It's disgusting." she said. "Regardless of how it hap pened. Was no excuse for it. Had Billy been there, like he should have been, he would have known better." 0A discussion of hunting and its attendant expenses came up for a thorough airing the other night, and one fellow speculated that every bird killed by a hunter cost about $5, if not more. It was about like my cost per fish about three years ago when I purchased a new rod and reel, line, plugs and bait and went fishing several times down in the sound, and brought back only a few fish. I figured that every fish I caught that season cost me $2.32, which is a pretty steep price for croakers and spots. I told the boys about that, and they agreed it was pretty costly but hardly as much as the stamp collecting hobby. Our local stamp collectors have a habit of going into the post of fice and buying one section of '"our stamps here-on-a-sheet. and there on-a-sheet and somewhere-else-on ' eet. »?y say a 3 cent stamp or some denomination is worth more e corner or in the center of a „et than it is somewhere else. And to be on the safe side, several buy a whole sheet of 100 stamps. One time, however. Mr. Farley came out with a nice purple affair, one of the most beautiful stamps I ever saw, selling for $1 each. Boy. that stumped 'em. The fel lows who had been buying full sheets bought sections, and the fellows who had been purchasing sections bought singletons. They're expensive hobbies, all right, almost expensive as mine, photography.

"7HU( "Tftonij S^ctc/tcJ JAMES F. BYRNES SECRETARY OF STATE m 1 AP Newsfeatures 0 Having sketched Secretary o; State James F. Byrnes a coupU >i years ago in his White House of fice when he was Assistant Presi dent. I didn't try to get him to sit for another personal sketch. ... I sketched him at his press confer ence in the State Department building. He came into the room and sat at the head of a long table and was completely surrounded by per haps a hundred press and radio people. There is a softness to his speech as he talks to the group in his South Carolinian voice. ... He removes his glasses once or twice. As he finishes his statement of live late developments in the State De partment. :,c again removes his glasses and smiles as he awaits the barrage of questions from the gathering. He answers or sometimes parries a question with a good natured jest. At the end of the conference he got a rousing "Thank you. Mr. Secretary" from the correspond ents as they started moving in a body for the door and to the tele phones. Bucking that moving throng to reach Mr. Byrnes to get him to autograph the* sketch was an impossibility! . . . After the thundering herd moved out the door a helpful secretary came io the rescue and Mr. Byrnes signed the drawing. Barden To Make Radio Dedication Talk Monday £ Rep. Graham A.

News and Views Editorial Draws Chamber Reply 0Thc Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce yesterday replied 1o an editorial appearing in Friday's edition of the News and Views which was critical :if -Jacksonville's participation in I he ■ ecent 170th anniversary of the U. S. Marine Corps. Accompanied a copy of a con gratulatory- telegram sent from Jacksonville to Ma.j. . Gen. John Marston. the statement in the 'orm of a lette- to the News and Views editor follows: "We read with no little concern, your editorial of November l(ith. in which you belabor the business men of Jacksonville to "stay awake at the switch", and they, of course, are the Chamber of Commerce. "Perhaps Jacksonville's obser vation of the Marine Corps' birth day was not as you would have had it—and actually it was not what other Jacksonville business men would have planned, if they had not been, on Saturday, so busy serving the Marines who make their homes here with us. "We felt no more, nor no less, welcome at Camp Lejeune on that day than anyone else to whom the cordial general invitation was is sued to the "open house" there, but we did not feel justified in trying to arrange for special con sideration there on that busy day. The Chamber of Commerce sent a warm congratulatory message to the Commanding General, and re ceived a kindly reply. We do not have a record of the Jacksonville people who called out at Camp that day, but in the writer's own party were: "Mr. P. V. Capps, president, P. V. t'apps and Sons; "Mr. Sam I.eder, manager, Leder Bros. Dept Store: "Mr. Dean Sullivan, owner. Dean Sullivan Tire Co. "Mr. Z. E. Murrell. owner. Coastal Motor company. "We made a comple.e tour of the Camp and enjoyed it immen sely. but the men with me worked at iheir respective business houses, serving Iheir Marine customers right up to the time of departure, and when they returned to town, they rolled up their sleeves and got back 1<> work doing the same. Jacksonville's service to the Ma rine Corps is not just an annual special event. "You must consider, though, that Wilmington has had a Chamber of Commerce—according to an old copy of a Wilmington paper, kept in the Jacksonville Record's files for well over a hundred years. They have had a full time, well paid secretary, whose job it has been to keep up with all dates and functions that concern the Cham ber as the coordinator of a com munities' speech and actions. The Jacksonville Chamber of Com merce will be only two years old the first of the year, and during that time it has been served, but well, by volunteers, except for the part time services of our present secretary since July. "Beginning December 1st. the Chamber will employ its secretary full time, and if motorcades and fanfare are what our citizens want, they can count on getting it. We might even go down and bring Fort: Fisher up here—if you really want it, Billy!"

Although the figure is rising slowly, il is still a long way from I he $377,000 goal, but Thompson was confident that Onslovvans were so thankful that the war is over- and peace restored that they would eventually close the gap be tween the present figure and the goal. "We have true Thanksgiving this year." he said yesterday '"Last yea r we observed Thanksgiving Day. 11 was an observance, not a celebration. Our armies were mov ing slowly through the German :.'oid winter toward Berlin In the Pacific we were massing for what was later to bo the bloody Iwo lima and Okinawa campaigns. Ac tually wo didn't have much to celebrate. There was always that irospect of tragedy. "It's much different this year, file war's over. Many of our boys rave been spared.

I know of no better way )f showing sincere appreciation Or them, or paying tribute, than ,o respond to our nation's call.
