TAXI There is a new taxi ser vice in Raleigh owned and operated by World War II veterans. These Wake County boys returned from the wars and hit on the idea of converting theii-mustering out pay into a business, so each of them bought a car and formed the Wake Taxi Service. Since it is a co operative venture, with each driv er owning the car he operates, you don't see any reckless driving by this crew. Begun six weeks ago, the company now operates seven cabs and they stay busy most of the time. REPEAT This little story has been kicked about quite a bit with in the last few days, but it is prob ably worth repeating: One day last week State Auditor George Ross Pou was sitting out on the capital grounds sunning. Along came Bruce Etheridge, di rector of Conservation and De velopment. Said Bruce: "George, that's the worst place in the world you could be sitting. People pass ing along can see that you are not in your office attending to your work." But Auditor Pou complained that there was method in his spring time madness: "I'm sitting out here," he said, "so people can see that I'm in town." CHRISTMAS William B. Urn stead of Durham, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee, has told intimates that he will not announce his decision about running for Governor until about Christmas. If Senator J. W. Bailey has not retired by that time, Umstead may make the race. Al though' one of the strongest Con gressmen this State has had, Um stead was not very well known out side his district until he emerged as R. Gregg Cherry's manager. They say he made a good impres sion on local political leaders dur ing the fall of 1944 with the way he directed the various pre-election powwows held throughout the State. Meantime, Lieutenant-Governor L. Y. (Stag) Ballentine of Fuquay Spring is digging in, .and the other do-nothing candidates, may find him a surprisingly hard adversary to dislodge. Bob Reynolds' hand shake had nothing on Stag's and the Wake County country boy (he's a dairyman while at home) has acquired a little political know how confidence and poise during the past two, three years. Foot Soldiers Win 177 Of The 240 Congressional Medals Washington Foot soldiers of the Infantry won 177 of the 240 Congressional Medals conferred on Army personnel in World War II. Enlisted men received 157 nf thr nation's highest military awards, while officers were awarded 83. About 2,000 Congressional medals have been bestowed since the deco ration was created in July, 1862. The War Department made known the figures today in reporting on the number of Army decorations and awards from Pearl Harbor through Nov. 3u, 1945. The total was 1,725,344, exclusive of purple hearts which were given to all men wounded in battle. The second highest Army deco ration for valor and achievement, the Distinguished Service Cross, was awarded to 4,036. Others in order of precedence follow: Dis tinguished Service Medal 987; Sil ver Star 69,027; Legion of Merit 12,285; Distinguished Flying Cross 124,827; Soldier's Medal 11,345; Bronze Star 340,510 and Air Med al 1,162,097. Which Shall It Be? More Bread Or Less Liquor WASHINGTON The nation has reached a point where it must de termine whether it will have "less liquor and more food or more beer and less bread," declares Repre sentative Edward H. Rees (R) of Kansas. "The supply of available food can be increased tremendously if we make a combined effort to see to it that no food or food prod ucts are unnecessarily wasted with respect to the allocation of grain to distillers and brewers," the Kan san told the House recently. The Agriculture Department in formed him, Mr. Rees continued, that more than 41,700,000 bushels of grain were used last year to manufacture distilled liquor and 24,137,556 bushels of grain and grain products in the manufacture of beer.

MAY HELP THIEF Chicago Among the articles taken by thieves who broke into the locked automobile of Fred Wat son were an overcoat, a flashlight and a prayer book. the Legislature in point of service if he returns next year. Cousin Willie Clark of Tarboro, who for merly held this title, is not standing for re-election. Lumpkin, who prac tices law, dabbles rather heavily in stocks, and owns or part-owns two or three theatres, came to the Legislature for the first time in 1929 anjjptas 'ijeen hcre'regularly every' terra since that time. NOTES Watch for that 65 year rule (time to retire) to grab some more veteran State office-holders before long Friends of O. Max Gardner worked up his appoint ment as Undersecretary of the Treasury to keep him among them in Washington. Reports are that he had planned to return to Shelby this spring Raleigh had hopes that the office of the U. S. District At torney for Eastern North Carolina might be moved to the State capi tal with the appointment of Col. John Hall Manning, Raleigh native, to this position. However, it will remain in Wilmington Raleigh builders are not too happy about the annex to the Revenue Building, claim it is depriving them of ma terials which might otherwise have been used to erect homes for vet erans and others Willie Lee Lumpkin of LouisbUrg, although only 46, will be the oldest man in NEW CROWD The matter of most importance about last week's meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee was the fact that it was being run by a new crowd or an old crowd that has been given new life by the gradual turn of events. For instance, there was W. P. Horton of Pittsboro, as National Committeeman, he was right up there at the top running things, but a little over five years ago he was defeated by J. M. Broughton, who seemed to have an exceptionally minor role in the meeting. Sandy Graham, defeated badly by C. R. Hocy and Ralph McDonald 10 years ago, now chair man of the Slate Highway Com mission, was in the thick of things at the meeting. Hoey and Mc Donald are away in Washington. The other leaders in the meeting were W. B'. Umstead, committee chairman, and LeRoy Martin, sec retary, both of whom in times past have been on the losing side. But they seem to be in the driver's scat now. The men who compose the "new crowd" arc however, old hands at the game it's going to be interesting to watch them maneuver. lve Your Problems For -JRUCTION, INDUSTRIAL AND I T A. , 1.UUGING EQUIPMENT State Distributors laI Crawler Tractors jVheel Type Tractors and is.

FLOOR SANDING AND FINISHING EXPERT WORKMANSHIP By Eprlnod Operator wrilt or uu W. r COCKMAN Clydt, N. C. ROBERT H. GIBSON, SR. Phono 474-J Woynowlllo, N. C. House In Alaska For $1 Is Problem Facing N. C. Couple Wilmington Victor and Nettie Beaver sat on the entrance step of their tiny, crowded trailer, parked in a backyard here, and wondered today of the irony fate sometimes decrees for mortals. This is their story: Early last November, while sta tioned in Anchorage, Alaska, with the Army, Victor Beaver then Sergeant Beaver bought a $1.00 ticket on a completely furnished 6-room house being raffled by the Anchorage Rotary Club. The ser geant put the ticket in his wallet and forgot all about. A couple of months later he started home, and in due time joined his wife in Wil mington. The housing situation being what it is, ex Sergeant Beaver and the Missus bought a small house trailer and set it up in the back yard of Mrs. Beaver's parents. It was small and cramped, but it was a home of their own. Today Beaver received a tele gram from the Anchorage Hotary Club advising him that he had won the house, complete with furnish ings and ready for occupancy. Si multaneously, he received two tele grams from Anchorage residents offering him $5,500 and $6,000, re spectively, for the house and fur nishings. "Darned if I know what to do," the ex-sergeant declared. Beaver, it seems, figures a house ready for occupancy is worth a 5, 000 mile trip. Mrs. Beaver, a native Tar Heel, isn't so sure but what $6,000 won't buy a nice cottage right here when materials are available. "Guess we'll think it over for a few days," Beaver, a Kelso, Wash ington, resident before the war, said. ... ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator of the estate of W. A.
