Last week someone broke open a tear gas bomb in Coleman's, emptied the place of all diners, and they went around to Steve's for lunch. Now, this week with romeone breaking into the U. S. Restau rant, it looks as if the profit off those meals last week was blotted off the record. # Mrs. Carl Hales says she usual ly tries to find her husband in company with someone when she is about to ask him for money. "Not that it shames him into forking flver the dough." she ex plains. "but it makes him feel good for me to ask how much I want, and then he can give me a couple dollars more." 0Sam Munch came into the house the other night and asked per mission to use the telephone. "What's the number of the police station?" he asked. "260", we told him. and he started dialing. Presently someone answered. Sam asked. "Then, you better get the tail light fixed on Ihe Black Maria. It's out, and I almost ran all over the truck a few minutes ago. You're welcome." #1 was just thinking iho other night about mistakes in print, and began to consider how the adver tising copy would read if the printer crossed movie and radio stars with descriptions of the new automobiles. It would go some thin® like this: Hildegarde—a popular, practi cal two-passenget* body tyne. Wide, roomy seat, with convenient par cel shelf behind. Large luggage space in rear deck.

So. if. that's what the folks want and being one to sell papers, be cause that's my business, here's another bit from Oscar Wilde: "Generations are needed to make a gentleman; mere circum stance a lady . . . Out of a love affair a man emerges bored to death; women completely exhaust ed .. . When a woman has an af fair of the heart she goes into ecs tasies; a man into details . . . Love is more tiring than friend ship, for it demands continuous proof ... A man in love will take his chances; a woman, in her anx iety. throws away hers . . . Sure ly God must have been disappoint ed in Adam: he made Eve so dif ferent . . . Woman never ceases loving a man until she finds an other to replace him." Quinn-McGowan to. Purchases Former Baptist Parsonage 0The Quinn-McGowan company, undertakers of Warsaw, Burgaw and Jacksonville, has purchased the 304 New Bridge street adja cent to the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company and will remodel it into a modern under taking establishment, it was an nounced yesterday by Harry T.

Purchase price of the property and two story residence was said to have been la the vicinity of $9,000.

" i IpEC-7194-TI I DEC • 7 • I945| Onslow 3rd From Bottom In Victory Bond Sales 0 Ninety-seven of North Caroli na's 100 counties stand above On slow in the purchase of Series E bonds in the Victory Loan cam paign. Chairman T. C. Thompson announced yesterday. It means that this countv is third from the bottom of the list. Thompson released Federal Re serve Bank figures showing Ons lowans have purchased only 329. 812.50 in Series E bonds against a S240.000 overall quota. That is all the Series F bonds every one of the residents of the county has purchased in the past month. What Thompson regrets is that the Victory Loan campaign offi cially ends tomorrow, and not on ly is the county far behind on ser ies E bond purchases but also is it lagging in acquisition of all other types of bonds to the extent that only $125,812.50 in nil other types have been purchased against a $372,000 quota. In all other campaigns this coun ty went far over the top. Women Continue Active Women of the county, headed by Mrs. James A. Odom of Mid way Park, who volunteered to di rect the women's division for this week, have sold approximately $6. 000 in Series E bonds, according to incomplete reports. A total of $900 was sold ou Wednesday, and that despite the inclement weather that is now prevailing in this com munity . Todav is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and both Mrs. Odom and Thompson hope that citizens of the county will show their ap preciation of victory to the extent that then will purchase at least one additional bond today. The women tomorrow will ob serve Midway Day in honor of the heroes of the Battle of Midway, and will make a special effort to boost sales in commemoration of that historic event in the nation's history. The Figures Speak "The figures speak for them selves," Thompson said. "There's no need for us to brag about what we've done about the war. or how much we appreciate the peace. We're not showing it. Even peo ple bragging about what purchases they are making need not do it. We've got the figures to show how this county stacks up with the rest of the state, the nation and the world. "It's going to look bad when the list of the counties and the part they have played in this Victory Loan Drive is published—Onslow, third from the bottom." School Consolidation Recommendation Is Wade By Controller £ Raleigh —(/P)— Controller Paul Reid of the State Board of Education Thursday recom mended that 2.586 one, two, three and four-teacher public schools be consolidated.
