STORt OF R C. BARBEE
READ ^WITH INTEREST
FarmvUle friends read with interest
a story in the News and Observer
of recent date regarding' B. C. Barbee,
of Wilson, seaman first class of
the Seabeee, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
B. C. Barbee, of Wilson, former residents
of Fsiimville. B. C. is a twin
brother to Miss E. C. Barbee, of
Wilson. •" J
, < The story stated that Barbae had
returned to Wilson from 10 months
of service in the South Pacific, during
which he never saw a bomb, submarine
or Jap, except prisoners, but
did see some excellent beef steaks
for 46c a plate.
Barbee's job was not of a destructive
but a constructive nature. He
■tells of helping to make New Caledonia
from a barren mosquito-infested
island into comfortable quarters
for Allied troops where some of
the luxuries of home may be epjoyed,
such as movies, running water,
libraries, etc. *
bet Wilson boy traveled to New
f.-om the United States on
the Presided Coo lid ge, which was
sunk a few days after he left it, and
he went to Australia on another , ship
which had the lame fate soon afterwards.

supply troops on New Caledonia dur
State. College Hints
For Fana Homeaiakers
Or. just use creamed butter with
camote chopped fine.
Cooked carrots brighten Any dinner
plate; Un the carrots by themselves.
Boil them with the outside
leaves of celery. This makes a
mighty toed dish and so does cheese
nance ponied over cooked carrots.
It's easy to cook carrots, because
-the color stays bright without any
special car* an your part, and the
vitamin A value remains intact at
ordimry cooking temperatures. Cook
carrots in as little water as possible
and serve this liquid with the cooked
carrots.
Sliced carrots should be cooked for
only 10 or 15 minutes. If you have
tiny young carrots, you may wish
to boH them whole, end this tfckes
about 6 minutes longer.
When you have an oven meal, you
can bab6 carrots ill a casserole with
just a little waater added.
Carrots rate high with nutritionists.

the rainy day schedule this year, the
school authorise announce that
school will close at 1:15 o'clock when
this is necessary, but the change will
not be announced until 12:80. Parente

the telephone lines be k«*t open for
air raid calls. Bus

"Now is the time to skiff on the
home sector, to the factories and
mines and mills as weil as on the
battlefields. If we relax our attack,
if we relax to production and permit
a sing e soldier to be short at food
tog that the war is over, otr that the
way ahead will he fast or easy.
"The Germans and theWFaps, every
one, are fighting to the death.
"The enemy has the advantage of
defense, short lines of supply and a
decade of preparation for war.
"We hare to transport millions of
men, and for them the food, the bullets,
the tanks, the guns, over thousands
of miles of sub-infested water,
to more than 50 battle fronts. In
spite of our successes the war will be
won by skips, planes, tanks, and guns
which are yet to come off the production
line.
"This war is an uphill Job—to the
very end and until our final victory."
