"they finally locked up the right folks for a change." I mean what took place in the Courthouse Tuesday morning just before Recorder's Court began. Sheriff Frank Morton, Deputies James Likens and Willis Johnson, Corp. H. C. Johnson of the State Highway Patrol and Swansboro Chief of Police John Bell were warming themselves in the sheriff's office. Came time for court to be gin. and they started out. but they couldn't open the door. They were locked in. The door knob had come off on the inside, and there was no way for them to fix it right then. So. all they could do was kick up a fuss, but nobody came—until Johnson called Joe Cole and he did it. Now they're at large again. 0 Seen about town: Herman Falbaum reading the help wanted ads in the daily papers. #1 was talking to Mrs. Z. E. Mur rell, Jr.. the other morning about the date of the Woman's club meet ing. "Let's see." she reflected. "The Hospital Auxiliary meets on the first Thursday, the Woman's club on the second Thursday, the PTA on the third Thursday, and we rest on the fourth Thursday."* §Two stories I've got to remem ber were told on the "Can You Top This" program last Saturday night. They both concerned storms and winds, familiar hereabouts in the late summer and fall, and when ever someone in the future tells us how hard the wind is blowing I'm going to repeat these yarns: The first was told by Senator Ford, who said two farmers were sitting on a fence rail whittling one day. and one of them looked up at the sky and said. "We're gonna have a bad storm and a high wind." "I ain't a-scared.'' said the oth er farmer. I've already been in the worst windstorm in the whole wide world. The wind b!ew si ha>*d that it blew all the paint off the hous es. it blew the sun back ihree hours, and it blew grandpa's nose that hadn't been blown in 15 years." 0 Harrv Hirschfield then added a story about a tornado striking a rural section. The wind blow no hard, he said, that a chicken with her back to the wind laid the same "eg six limes. D le other morning in the mail ■ j a notice that ihe Onslow dnty Selective Service board had reclassified me IV-A. I don't know what it means, but one thing I am certain of is that 1 want to be reclassified and out in another bracket, because that's the same classification that Jack Peck has. £ Someone wanted to know he other morning where he could find Rev. F. N. Cox. and I had to tell them that he was usually walking between town and Overbrook.

Offers Economic Program To Develop Jacksonville £ A five-point program for the development of Jacksonville's eco nomic status was advanced by Rev. L. Grady Burgiss, pastor of first Baptist church here, in a talk to the Kiwanis club at the Club Ccpa Cabana Tuesday afternoon. The minister, stating that he was speaking at his own request, be cause of his interest in Jackson ville's future, said that for this city to continue progressively it must: 1. Remove obstacles io ts growth; 2. Stop leaks of funds go ing out of the community: 3, Spon sor fat stock and agricultural ex hibits: 4. Develop its fishing in dustry: and 5. Assist in the estab lishment of small industries. Rev. Mr. Burgiss listed what he termed the three primarv sources of income for Jacksonville: Camp Lejeune. agriculture nnd ishing. and said that the following ec ondary sources of income in the citv depended on the primary: re tail establishments, groceries, ho tels and cafes, amusements. news papers. laundries, etc. "Whenever the primary sources of income diminish so do the sec ondary." said the minister, who added that Jacksonville :s 'ike mistletoe on a tree, the tree be ing its primary source of income. If the tree is cut down, the mist letoe rarishes." Votes Project Support Guests at the meeting were Rev. Leslie L. Parrish of Jacksonville and Alfred Fleishman of Balti more.

Mr. Burgiss omphasized that his remarks were his own personal observations, made be cause of his interest in the city. Burgiss Lists Obstacles Obstacles to the community's growth, he said, were prices of merchandise now ottered here, freight rates, rents and lack of in centive. Removal of them is nec essary for a thriving city, .he minister stated, adding that he had purchased articles here for 20c that could be bought at Burgaw for 12'^c, same grade and -ize, that five and six room houses here renting for $50 and $60 rep resent a return in some instances of as much as 35 per cent on in vestments when the normal re turn on rental property is figured at 10 and 12*2 per cent.

Ask Star Route Change For Air Mail Benefits ^Jacksonville's civic organiza tions and citizens this week asked the Post Office Department for a change in the New Bern-Holly Ridge star route so ihat Camp Lejeune. Midway Park and his city can benefit by inauguration of North-South airmail service originating in Wilmington. Letters were addressed io the postal inspector and chief rail way mail clerk for this district as well as to Rep. Graham A. Bar den by the Jacksonville Lions club, Kiwanis club. Chamber of Commerce. Acting Postmaster Frank A. Smith and others. The petitions were prompted by announcement that North-South airmail service leaving Wilming ton at 2:08 and 2:09 p.m. daily, would be inaugurated immedi ately. As the mail schedule now is ar ranged, patrons of this area would derive no benefit from the fast mail service, and "the need here is great," authorities were told. All air mail dispatched 'through the Jacksonville post office now goes to Raleigh where it leaves on a midnight plane, arriving in New York in the early morning. The same dispatch carries first class mail to Wilson for fast mail train which arrives in New York shortly before 8 a.m. Extension of the New Bern Holly Ridge star route to Wil mington would give patrons of this area the benefit of that air mail dispatch, putting letters mailed here before noon in prin cipal northern and southern cities in the late afternoon and early evening. The star route used to run from New Bern to Wilming ton, passing through here be tween 11 and 12 p.m., but it was stopped at Holly Ridge during the war because of the 35-mile per hour speed limit which tne carrier could not follow and make train connections at New Bern in the late afternoon. As the schedule now stands, two mails leave here for Wilmington daily, one which goes via the Holly Ridge star route, is picked up in Holly Ridge by a Wilmington carrier in the late evening, too late for the plane service. Another leaves here about 4 o'clock, goes via Warsaw, and arrives in Wilmington about the same time as the morning dis patch. With the removal of the 35 mile per hour speed law. local residents feel that the extended run to Wil mington now can be made in time for the airmail service to be of benefit to this area, it was said. 7.4 Orisiowa is Are Honorable Discharged From Armed Forces Q Twenty-four Onslow County members oi (ho Armed forces re cently have received their honor able discharges.

Goereh visited the Sears Landing beach property 'and other nearby stretehes of orcanfrunt Wednesday, and stopped over in .laeksonville en route back to Raleigh.

FBI Chieftan Fears Outbreak Of Gang War And Racketeering 9Miami Beach, Fin. - (JP) - Edgar Hoover, who carried per haps more secrets in his head than any man alive, made no se cret last night of his fears that the United States may be in for a sequel to the orgy of gangster ism. rackets and murder that marked the roaring '20s. The FBI chieftain, in an inter view told newsmen that hijacking, kidnaping and other types of vio lent. crime are already showing :m alarming increase across the na tion. "The firing has stopped on the battlefrorus, but it is being re sumed on the homei'ront." Warlick & Ellis Form Law Partnership Here Proposed Consolidation Would Affect Schools £ Recommended consolidation if small one-1 wo-t hrco-four teacher schools would affect approximate ly !(> units of the Onslow County school system. Supl. A. II. Hatsell disclosed vesterday. Consolidation was recommend ed in a resolulion adopted by the State Hoard of Education last week, and llats. ll said ii had been a pol icy of the stale board to request consolidation where possible for a number of years. Fmai decision on the matter rests with the boards of education in each of the state's counties, in this case with the Onslow County Board of Education. Almost all of the small schools in this county are feeder institutions. Ilatseli said, by which busses come and pick up the larger children for transporting to the consolidated schools, leaving the smaller chil dren in the communities. And. he added, almost all of the small schools in this county are far re moved from already consolidated inst it ut ions. Actually. th e superintendent stated, the burden of the expense of operating the Small schools is 0:1 the counties which must fur nish the facilities. The state is concerned in I hat it pays the sal aries of teachers, and consolida tion would reduce the number. On the other hand, although the coun ty must purchase and furnish the busses, the state defrays operating costs, and to move more children longer distances would increase that state expense, he indicated.

Warlick and Albert J. Ellis, lo cal attorneys. The partnership, to be known as Warlick and Ellis, will be effective January 1. Warlick, one of Onslow County's leading citizens, has been practic ing here since 1924, is a former member of the General Assembly, a member of the State Democratic Kxecutive Committee and a mem ber of the State Bar Council. Ellis, who recently returned from 22 months service in the U. S Army, has been practicing law here since 1939. He is a native of New Bern. Both are prominent members of the bar in Eastern North. Carolina. Formation of the partnership is one of the most important devel opomtns in history of the Onslow County Bar, uniting two well known and popular attorneys. Warlick will be the senior mem ber of the firm. He came to Jacksonville in 1903 and attended Jacksonville school, later spending two years at Pied mont College at Lawndale and at Iending Oak Ridge Military Insti tue. At one time he was in the fur niture business and for awhile kept books for the Jacksonville Lumber company. From 1913 until 1915. Warlick served as a clerk in the office of Governor Kit chin and also as a clerk in the State House of Rep resentatives in 1913. He went back to the House, not as a clerk but as elected represen tative from Onslow County, to serve in the memorably long ses sion of 1933. In the interim the Onslow at torney served abroad in World War I as first lieutenant in charge of the 316 machine gun company of the 81st division. On his re turn home, he began reading law and was licensed and admitted to the bar in February of 1924. Then came the formation of a law partnership with 1. M. Bailey, an association which continued briefly until Bailey chose to re turn to Raleigh as attorney for the former corporation commis sion following a term he served in the House. For a number of years, Warlick has been a member of the State Democratic Executive committee and a member of the State Bar Counsel. He also has been county Democratic chairman, and recent ly was appointed county attorney as well as city attorney. In the lat ter position he likewise has serv eel a number of years. Resident Since 1939 Ellis attended New Bern high sehool and the University of North Carolina from which he was grad u. ted in 1938. In J:e first part of the year 1939 Ellis caine to Jack sonville and opened an office ior :i"-e practice of law. lie fast be came a popular and respected member of the community and his practice grew i'ast. He took an ac tive part »n civic affairs, has been chairman of the Onslow County chapter of the American Red Cross and directed its fund-rais ing drives, lie has been chairman of the Jacksonville USO council and, as War lick, is a member of the Kiwanis club. He was also chairman of the Young Demo crat1- of Onslow County. Entering the Army. Ellis serv ed first as a private and was later appointed to the judge advocate general school from which he was graduated and commissioned a second lieutenant. In the army he served 22 months and recently re turned home on terminal leave. Hr will be discharged this month.
