There's al ways something up their scheming sleeves, and the sleeves of both of them are large enough to hold enough schemes to last you for a long while. I mean just this. Bill kindly— that is, I thought it was kindly— called Thursday morning, inviting me out to Thanksgiving dinner, and I accepted. It was a fine meal, after which Carole suggested ihat she and I play a little gin rummy. That was O.K. too. except that she picked me for $8.72, which means that I paid for the turkey. #A fellow went into the Onslow Billiard Parlor the other morning and wanted to know where all the barbers were next door. He said he'd been waiting over there 15 minutes and not a soul had show ed up. Dewey didn't believe it and non chalantly walked over to the bar ber shop with him to see for himself. Sure enough there wasn't anyone around. "Do you barber?" the man asked Dewey. "A little." he replied. "Well, shave me. then." So Dewey laid him down in the chair and shaved him. "It was all right starting." Dewey admitted, "but I thought I never was going to be able to turn him loose." It just proves what I've been saying along—that when you crawl into a barber chair hereabouts you don't know what kind of a me chanic has hold of you. Dear Billy: # In answer to why I am callcd "Stinky" I wish to state, that pre vious to the opening of the Roa noke Island Club. I was consider ed a very respectable person in this community and known as Mr. Valentine McCabe of the U.S.O. Club, but unfortunately. I drifted into the bad company, of "Big Chief, Moe" and "Little Chief. Moe" of the Roanoke Tribe, and I guess you know, one cannot fre quent a "Stinky" place without eventually being named after it. Sincerely yours, V. McCABE. #W. H. Cannon was telling Mrs. Minnie B Durr the other morn ing that " haven't been seeing much of you lately—since cigar ettes got plentiful again." 0 One way to tell wnen court Js in session without reading it in '*• newspaper is when you see k Petteway in town at 7:30 a.m. ^ t\ M. Dennis went duck hunt ing Thanksgiving and spent more time looking for his gun than he did anything else. It was a splendid day for hunt ing. Thanksgiving was. and Dennis kept under cover until the first ducks were sighted, then he raised up and fired. The barrel went one direction, the stock in another, and the shot haywire. But Dennis was not dismayed. He's a good fixer. So, he retrieved —this is a duck and gun story, not a quail—the pieces, put them back together again, and waited. Along came two more ducks, and Dennis banged away again. And again the gun fell apart. Although he didn't get any ducks, he didn't lose any of the pieces to his gun. 0The women planning for the sale of bonds on the Courthouse square were unanimous in their opinion as to the local person who would make the best woman Santa Claus, but none of them had the nerve to ask her. i Now, don't go pointing any fingers. 0Anent Ladies Night at the Ki wanis club tonight, here are two pick-ups from some place or oth er: WOMAN She's an angel intruth, a demon in fiction: A woman's the greatest of all con tradictions. She's afraid of a bug, she'll scream at a mouse. But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house. She'll take him for better and take him for worse. She'll split his head open and then be his nurse. And when he is well and can get out of bed, She'll pick up a teapot and throw at his head. She's faithful, deceitful, keen sighted and blind; She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel, she's kind She'll lift a man up, she'll cast a man down; She'll make him her hero, her rul er, her clown. You fancy she's this, but you find she is that, For she'll play like a kitten and bite like a cat; In the morning she will, but in the evening she won't, And you're always expecting she does, but she don't. Women Have Taking Ways She took my hand In sheltered nooks. She took my candy and my books, ^he took the lustrous wrap of fur. ^ 'e took the gloves I bought for m ^er, ^ ie took my words of love and care She took my flowers, rich and rare. She took my ring with tender smile. She took my time for quite a while She took my ardor, maid so shy. She took whatever I could buy, And then she took another guy. J City Asks 11 P. M. Curfew In Jacksonville Be Lifted 0 Upon the request of Jackson ville business men, the city board of commissioners Friday night adopted a resolution asking Camp Lejeune to lift the 11 p.m. curfew. The action, on motion of Com missioner J. C. Collins, seconded by Commissioner B. J. Holleman, coincided with a request of the Jacksonville Chamber of Com merce that it be lifted. The board received a petition for its lift ng signed by more than a score of business men. Both formal requests will be presented to Maj. Gen. John Marston. commanding general of Camp Lejeune. this week, and it. is expected that the curfew will be lifted almost immediately. In the past year, service per sonnel have been orohibited from being in Jacksonville—except at the bus station—after 11 p m. The curfew, it was said, was imposed because of the large number of marines at the base at that time, which was making law enforce ment a problem hereabouts. How ever. now with the number re duced it was felt that the town can comfortably take care of them. First step toward lifting the cur few throughout the city came last week when it was lifted on Cole man's Restaurant only. The cafe is directly opposite the bus sta tion. Marine officials were said not to have cherished the idea of a curfew for Jacksonville at any time. When it is lifted, mil tary police will be in the city all night. Eligible Farmers Urged To Take Part In Triple-A Elections # Every eligible farmer in North Carolina should attend the AAA election meeting in his community on November 30 and take part in naming his AAA community com mitteemen for the coming year. I. O. Schaub. director. State Exten sion Service, said yesterday. One of the most important iobs facing the mrwty elected xuinnvii teemen as they take the oath of office will be to determine best practices to meet the needs of the county and distribute the alloca tion of funds that has been al lotted to the counties and com munities so that individual 'arms will receive conservation assist ance based on actual needs. Be sides helping farmers select prac tices that will speed reconversion of North Carolina's farmland from the strain of wartime production, AAA committeemen will be "aced with other postwar problems, such as crop prices, marketing difficul ties. and production adjustment. "Due to the magnitude of these problems." Schaub said, " the men elected at these meetings should have the confidence and support of every eligible farmer in the community." Eligibility to vote is restricted to farmers who participated in the agricultural conservation and Fed eral crop insurance programs. Jacksonville Would Have To Pay For Census Before 1950 £ Unless the City of Jacksonville or its citizens want to pay for it, there is no possible way of having on official census taken of the city until 1950. the Chamber of Commerce has been advised. Anxious to get out of the 873 classification, which is what the Bureau of the Census actually and officially found here in 1940, the Chamber asked Rep. Graham A. Barden to ask the bureau to take another count of the local citizens. But the Department of Com merce ruled against it. The iime for the census does not come until 1950, but if the city wants one taken, the department will do it at local expense, which would 'ip proximate $600. and call it official That has been done in some cases, Barden advised.

Women Join EffortTo Up Bond Purchases; Band ConcertSaturday;OnslowSalesOff 0 Women of Jacksonville, Mid way Park and the Onslow County Council of Home Demonstration clubs will sponsor a "Women at Peace Week" in Onslow County, starting Saturday, it was announc ed yesterday simultaneous with a reluctant revealation that this county is seventh from the bottom of the list of North Carolina's 100 divisions in bond purchases in the Victory Loan drive. Bond purchases during the cam paign so far have amounted to only $98.856.2;j, which is only 26,£ per cqnt of the county's overall $377,000 quota. Purchases of Series E bonds have amounted to only 11 per cent of the quota, or a total of $25,856.25, it was an nounced by Chairman J. C. Thompson. Mrs. Odom Volunteers Meantime, Onslow County, with out a women's division chairman for the first time during the war, had a last-minute volunteer in the person of Mrs. James A. Odom. president of the Midway Park Woman's club and president of the 12th District Federation of Women's clubs. "We just couldn't sit by and see this county go unrepresented by women in this important cam paign," Mrs. Odom said in volun teering. and set out immediately to sponsor a "Women at Peace Week", starting Saturday. » Camp Band Plays It will be inaugurated by a con cert by the Camp Lejeune band on the Courthouse Square at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Then, the women will take over the former Marine bus stop shed, which by that time will have been converted into a bond booth. Women from throughout ihc coun ty have been asked'to join in the sale of bonds, in an effort to boost the county's purchases and put it over the top in this final effort. Persons who purchase bonds from them on that day will be permitted to ring the Courthouse bell. Near Bottom of List Thompson was reluctant io dis close the county standings, be cause Onslow is pictured so badly. Of 100 counties in the state, it is 93rd on the list, almost at the bottom, but Thompson finally gave out the information when he was reminded that the list goes all over the state anyway and the public will soon see and hear of Onslow's poor showing in the pub lie print. "It means that we're not doing our job," said the chairman, "and the bad pari of it is that we've got only 15 more days in which we can reach or come near our quota. " A lot of people have asked why an oilier drive is necessary. They say that the war's over; so why raise the money? But it takes a lot of money to hospitalize and treat wounded men. to finance disability payments, send veterans through schools, meet the public debt and finance the heavy load of war-incurred expenditures. Those are the reasons, and I'm hoping our people will do their part." Women Will Help The women who will take part in the "Women at Peace" week, which corresponds to "Women at War" efforts in bond campaigns during the war, are: Home Demonstration clubs — Mrs. 1. N.

According to a decision reach ed by the board, although no vote was taken, the referendum will be held on Friday. January 4. prior to which there will be a registra tion. The referendum will be on the question of whether to issue or not to issue bonds in the amount of $150,000 for water and sewer line extensions and for storm sewers, curbs and gutters. The board agreed to divide the total amount $80,000 for utilities extensions and $70,000 for drain age. The agreement clipped appro ximately $18,000 off the estimates of William F. Freeman. High Point, City of Jacksonville engi neer. The engineer's recommenda tions had been for $90,038.77 for water and sewer line extensions and $78,000 for drainage, which would have made possible utilities extensions to all sections of the city not now served and installa tion of curbs and gutters and storm sewers throughout the en tire city.
