THURSDAY. DECEMBERl J THE WAYNES VTLLE MOUNTAINEER PAGE FOUR (Third Section) Capital Letters By THOMPSON GREENWOOD NORTH CAROLINA POLITIC IANS ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON PAT HURLEY,, ambassador to China who came home huffing and puffing over the State Depart ment's policy in the Orient. They believe that Hurley, who was Sec retary of War under Hoover, is attempting to win support for a race for the Presidency in '48. Although many State Democrats don't think too highly of the gene ral ability of Secretary of State Byrnes, they feel that Hurley i just letting off steam in an attemp' to attract attention which hi seems to be doing rather well. But there is one North Carolinr boy who will always feel gratefu to Pat Hurley. This young man one of the finest anywhere was ir China during the war on an un usual assignment, and while then he was charged with a serious of fense by the Chinese government Some of the officials wanted t( throw him in jail for life and on or two wouldn't have minded see ing him hanged. The boy knev he was innocent. His friends knev he was innocent, but the Chinest felt otherwise, and they seemet determined that the good old Ta' Heel boy should be punished. The offense can't be named here, for it would identify our hero, but t similar crime in this State would bring the defendant a term of from two to ten years in the peniten tiary. The boy became desperate and finally he decided to carry the matter directly to Ambassador Pat Hurley. He wrote a curt note to the Chinese officials, and within a week the boy was free to go on with the project of aid to China. Now he is back home planning to study for the ministry. For You To Feel Well 24 hours every day. 7 days every week, never stopping, the kidneys filter waste matter from the blood. If more people were aware of how the kidneys must constantly remove sur plus fluid, excess acids and other wast matter that cannot stay in the blood without injury to henlth, there would be better understanding of why the whole system is upset when kidneys fall to function properly. Burning, scanty or too frequent urina tion sometimes warns that something is wrong. You may suffer nagging back ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic pains, getting up at nights, swelling. Why not try Doan't Pillsl You will be using a medicine recommended the country over. Doan'a stimulate the func tion of the kidneys and help them to flush out poisonous waste from the Kt5. They con tarn nothing harmful. Get Doan't today. Use with confidence. At ail drug store. Within five years he should be one of Western North Carolina's outstanding ministers. THE RECENT ILLNESS OF CONGRESSMAN R. L. DAUGH TON has renewed rumors that he may not run for re-election. He (s now out again after having been confined at his home and at a Washington sanitarium for three weeks. Somebody here in Raleigh ;aid the other day that the able hairman of the Ways and Means Committee would like to see State Senator Hugh Mitchell of States- ille, succeed him when he steps 1own. However, most folks seem o think that Hugh is much more nterested in this little idea than inybody else. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROU BLE FINDING RABBITS on your utumn hunts this year, blame it m the fox.

RALEIGH IS FULL OF WAKT FOREST ALUMNI, and there wa; quite a bit of elation here las week when the Demon Deacon' were selected for the Gator Bow in Jacksonville, Fla., for Nev Year's Day. The Wake Forest team is tough In fact, Coach D. C. Walker saic early last fall that he wanted hi boys to be as tough on the play ing field as a certain Marine. Walk er related that this Marine was At Betheada LOOK HOW &?A?JY CALLS NORTH CAROLINA MADE THIS YEAR As Telephone Tommy points out, North Carolinians did a whale of a lot of talking from January through November of this year. Fact is, more local and long distance calls were made than in any other similar period in the entire history of the telephone in North Carolina. We wish you could have seen the rush of these calls through our telephone exchanges. They made the signal lights dance across our switchboards with such speed and eparkle as to turn the lights on Broadway green with envy. You might have felt that with so many calls being handled, the telephone folks were making money because of the war. The best way for Telephone Tommy to prove the company did not profit by the war is to tell you this startling fact. And that is ''telephone earnings in 1945 will be the lowest in the company's history, except for the worst of the depression years". This is because our expenses wages, taxes, cost of materials, cost of services increased at a greater rate than our revenues. Telephone people, however, were glad to be busy handling North Carolina's calls. They were not concerned primarily with figures. Instead these 3,712 busy North Carolinians were concerned with service getting your calls through and seeing that lines were kept in order. They knew their job was ta serve you well and with pleasant "thank you", . K. H.

Before the Normand invasion, he was transferred t England, and he blazed away intc Vance, getting tougher all the ime.

They were battle-scarred vet erans. One night in London the Marine vas in a pub having a beer.

'Yep, you just open your mouth nce more, and I'll smash your "ace," said the Marine, and the nore he talked, the madder he be amc. He was boiling.

CHANCES ARE THAT PRESI DENT TRUMAN isn't havinr nuch time to devote to his pianc Lhese days, but a former governor I. C. B. Ehringhaus entertains himself and others these long win ter nights with his excellent tal ents at the piano. It's apparently a little-knowr fact that Former Governor Ehring haus can practically make a pianr talk. In fact, he plays at wed dings and that sort ef thing. Tom Bost, veteran newspaper man, is plenty good on the guitar and when Ehringhaus was gover nor, Tom used to go around to the Mansion frequently to form a team, Governor Ehringhaus ripplinr along on the piano and Tom plunk- plunking on the guitar . . . while the depression raged outside and all but came in through the win dows. For months, this was about all the amusement Ehringhaus could ring out of his existence. However, despite all that Ehring haus went through as governor, he emerged with a clear, unembit- tered feeling toward those who had such little patience when he was doing everything possible to prevent this state's entire financial structure from pulling apart at the scams. NORMAN CORDON, Tar Heel basso from Washington, is nephew of J. C. B. Ehringhaus, and the former Governor delights in hearing Cordon, now with the Metropolitan Opera, on the radio on Saturday afternoons.' About two weeks ago he eang in La Boheme and did a magnificent job of it Now that football is out of the way you may be able to hear him, Buy Victory Bonds For Keeps Beaverdam Township Jack P.

Snap Shots Of The HUMAN SIDE OF LIFE By FRANCES GILBERT FRAZIER Keeping hogs away from straw stacks will help prevent swine flu complications, says Dr. C. D. Grin- nells, veterinarian of the Agricul tural Experiment Station at State College. mm mi ft MtfTAUMMITI Dear Santa Claus: The rumor is flying around that you are exultantly happy this Christmas time and are giving out most extravagantly. So, as it be hooves alt of us to look out for No. 1, thought I had better put in my applications early. The first on my list is something that every one of us can always use and I feel confident your letters will contain many requests for a like gift. I want some new friends. Oh no, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the old ones; in fact they are even better than when I first acquired them. But in this modern age of progress, we are dependent, to a great measure, on new ideas and rtew ideals. So please bring me about half a dozen new friends, all wrapped carefully in cellophane so that their sterling qualities will be visible to all of us. Last Christmas I asked you spe cifically for a gift that I needed so very much. You remembered my desire and sent me a very small package. Perhaps you were a little short on this commodity but I must confess the small amount you did leave in my name, wasn't near enough. When you have to draw on your supply every single day of the year, as I do, the wee bit I found under the tree last year, didn't last long. I'm not the least bit proud that I didn't extend it out so it would stay with me . . . but you know me! Please try and make the amount ten times as much this time and I'll promise to use it with best results. I am ask ing for a new supply of tolerance . and its twin companion . . . forebearance. Perhaps a large, full- ge copy of Dr. Johnson's famous remark that I could hang in the front window of my memory would help a great deal. You remember, he said: "There, but for the grace God, goes I." We would all have a iifferent viewpoint, probably, if we were standing where the other fellow is! For a corsage that will last in definitely, I want a huge bunch n forget-me-nots set in a circle of purest sliver that I can pin over ny heart so that I can, at all times, remember the kindness and ourtesy shown me by others. Dear Santa, I do hope I haven't exceeded my quota In requests but there is just one more ... if I may. Dig down deep in your knapsack and see if there is a left-over bag of candy that hasn't an owner. Seems to me I could find a good home for it. And now until next year, here's wishing you the best season you ever had and may you find the same amount of happiness returned to you that you have distributed. "GRANDMA."
