LEND It now looks as if lend lease is going to move in on your State capital within the next few weeks in the form of a prefabri cated housing program. If pres ent plans materialize, the State Fair Grounds will be rented to a company which throws together small homes for use in countries conquered by Germany. The ma terial which will be used in the construction of these houses will be of sturdy, though light-weight material. The work should last for about six months, employing from 200 to 250 carpenters and labor ers. Since this firm has the high est priority obtainable on labor, there should be no difficulty in this field. Non-essential business in Raleigh will kick some at the idea of losing their help, but it is fell that the Government's program of brotherly love must continueand the project will mean a neat sum Lemon Juice Recipe Checks Rheumatic Pain Quickly If yott auller from rhcurron arthri- tis or Munlii pain, try this simple inexpensive borne recipe that thousamls are using.

RECIPES The American News Service of New York City is inte rested in selling "Favorite Recipes of North Carolina'' throughout the nation, and it now looks as if the circulation of this State cook book may reach a half million copies. The first 20.000 were sold out in four months. 70 Back yonder in 1936-37 when Roosevelt was giving the Nine Old Men on the Supreme Court such worrv. he was severely criticized. And when he set the retirement age of these august justices at 70. 1'edcral Judge Ike Meekins. of Elizabeth City, a good Republican, tore into the Presi dert with genuine gusto. The very idea, he said, of retiring judges at 70. And yet ai d Yit, a few weeks ago on the very day Judge Meek ins reached ihe age of 70 he upped and retired right there. Funny world. 72 Don't pay any attention to those rumors that Senator J. VV. Bailey will bo made Secretary of the Interior. In the first place, the present secretary, though mean as a snake in the eves of many, is doing a bang-up good job, and in the second place, Swiator Bailey is in bad health, has been for sonic time. He will be 72 in Sep tember, and it is sometimes diffi cult for him to carry along his Senatorial duties as he would like. The rumor, however, does show that there is close friendship be tween President Truman and Senator Bailey, and that is good for North Carolina. The Interior position now carries about 30 dif ferent jobs, and it is no place for any man of ago or ill health.

Well nobody seems to know who will be appointed to the various places -and a lot of guessing on these itcnm is the principal part of most political conversations around here As said above, nobody on the outside seems to know and there isn't any too much evidence that Governor Cherry knows. G U AH AM You may expect Yes, the first is a trick, but the second is a fact a fortunate fact for you. By using more and more electricity over the years, you've helped us reduce the price to a point where the average family now gets about twice as much electricity as it did 15 years ago for the same money. Keeping the price of electricity pinned down to the floor in wartime is a much tougher job than keeping a pin-up girl floating in mid-air! It takes much more than magic. It takes careful planning, hard work and good business management. pON EODT i.T., Electric H.".ifi K.Wrl Writer'. OrcWr fper, Wjf aftm 4:30, EWT, CBS.

No. 1424 Mar. 29-Apr. 5-12-19-26- j May 3. s NAP HOTS By Frances Gilbert Frazier Staff Writer Suppose, right this minute, just like that, this whole world sud denly changed! Nothing was ever just like it was one minute be fore! Suppose, you heard whis tles blowing, church bells ringing, people shouting, sirens roaring and you realized that the fearful holo caust started by the Germans had burned out! What would your first reaction be? Would a prayer iorm on your lips, tears flood your eyes and a contraction of the muscles in your throat keep words from coming forth? Well, if you're a real American these are what your very first impulses will be. No thought will come to your mind of throw ing confetti, throwing a big party or "throwing a fit." One can hard ly feel that this occasion should call for a celebration; too much blood, sorrow and suffering have gone before the triumph; and too much blood, sorrow and suffering still lie ahead before we can call it "Peace on Earth." When that day comes, which it must assur edly is well on the way to arriv ing, then we can all join in the singing and rejoicing. We'll have twiee as much to celebrate and a real reason for tearing up tele phone books, screaming at the lop of our voices and otherwise acting insanely. Let's wait until that day. It will be well worth it. After reading in the newspap ers of the horrible atrocities com mitted by the Axis powers, surely there must arise a feeling of such deep resentment that joyful ac claim would seem terribly out of place. In time, perhaps, we may not remember quite so vividly but right now, the wound is too deep. So let's take our Victory in a Sandy Graham, of Hillsboro, to he fiven an important position with the administration. He was an ar dent Morton supporter in 1940 and was as strong for Governor Cher ry a year ago. Lieutenant Governor from 11)32 36. he ran in that triangular affair in 1936 against McDonald and Hocy, finishing in third place. There is just a chance he may be connected with the highway setup for the next four years. PUSHED The appointment of a highway chairman has been push ed back several days. Scheduled to be made a week ago, there was difficulty over getting the proper person to lake the place. It now looks as if W. P. Morton won't take the place, which shows you Just how much he loves his law prac tice in Chatham County. In Norfolk ff ,, n I lip r J L. H. ARRINGTON, Chief Pet ty Officer, U. S. Navy, has report ed to Norfolk, Va., for reassign ment after spending a thirty-day leave here with his family. Petty Officer Arrington has been serv ing for three months in the Medi terranean theater of operations. He entered the service in 1940 and prior to his assignment for sea duty was stationed at Norfolk. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Arrington, of Waynesville, R.K.D. No. 1, Petty Officer Arrington is entitled to wear the Pie-Pearl Harbor ribbon, the Atlantic, and the European-African and Middle East campaign ribbons. His wife and young son plan lo join him in the near future at his post in Norfolk. sensible and deeply humble man ner. Let's put our house in order to welcome those men who have made this triumph possible; let's put forth every effort to make them forget Ihe fearful experienc es through which they have fought their way to freedom. Let's lalk of homey things when they return and let's put aside our burning de sire to know what happened over there. Maybe, in years to come, we will learn about those frightful days, and if we don't, perhaps it will be just as well. FOR . . . TAXI CALL SCOTT REEVES Phone 90 Pure Oil Station Cpl. Joe S.

SPECIAL COFFEE From where I sit ...Joe Marsh Dick Newcomb Goes Fishing by Proxy Hob Newcomb used to be the lest fly caster In the county. Never missed a Saturday at Se ward's Creek. But come the war, and Bob's son going off in uni form, lie just lost interest in things like fishing. Hut the other day Bob got a letter from the. South l'ariflc . . . kind of a homesick letter: "I'm thinking of yon, Dad, fish ing in Seward's Creek; cooking tront over an open fire; and keeping the beer cool in tho lit ream. Keep an extra bottle cool for 1110." So Bob spent his next day off exactly as IMck dreamed of his doing-fished Seward's Creek again, and cooked the trout, and kept the beer cool in the stream. And you knew be was doing It for Dick. From where 1 nil, it's what the men overseas would have us do keep alive the little ciiMoinH, the Miiall pleasures, they re member keep them alive till they come home to. share them.
