Barring ton of Raoferd,^ arrived home Sat urday bn first leayo in nearly four years. Tins veteran of the Pearl Harbor incident, was high, in liis praise of the men there and he says.' “We have .still got a lot of Navy left.” Barrington was reticent' in his dis- ion of the .action he saw there gh he was high.^in his praises of then of the Navy and ttie Army ter they got - into action. “It was such a complete surprise,” he said, “that it is my personal, opinion that blame for the delay in manning our posts could nqj be placed entirely op our commaniRng officers. I was get- tiiig out of bed when the first wave of Japanese bombers, came over.' r remavleed to my companions that ‘it soimds pretty realistic, dbesn’t it?’ and then I saw ttie first bombs drop «n a hangar across from the bar-, racks. We had thought they were our planes oh maneuver.”- “The Japs certaihly knew their: -ay around the island ^d &ey wast ed'little ahimhrutioh bn civilians pr soldiers. They headed for their mil itary objectives. ,Some of our highly experienced men said that the at tack, was certainly one, of the best planned and most efficiently execut- asaults thby had ever heard of. ttough. perhaps the Japs counted on -fiieir first r^^ more damage and; ifeing morg dfective than they actnailb^. were. Within a short while •c^r defense was so effective that the -^ditional ^flights of bombers really ‘did little damage.’’’ Barrington, who was. .on shbre •duty, stated, that imnvadiately the 'first attack came he went to his post in the office of the air station, where he was on duty throughout the ati itack. * .“f stated that our mmi saw a lot' of odim got started and' pur sQditgrs gaye a good account of iheihselves as the Japs weU. know. 'While they did some damage as the committee reported, “we’ve ' still ^ot a lot of Nkvy left, a big Navy, and we’re going to beat them plenty.” “The spirit 'of bur men out there is very high and they are just itch ing to get into a spot tehere they can do to the Japs what they did to us.” Young-Barrington was- transferred to new dptji mjfew England on Feb-' ruary 7th ahd arrived there recently.

Hoke couiity officials are seeking to check registration figures of all cars owned by citizens of the county which are accredited to neighboring counties in an effort to secure-higher tire allotments for the rationing board here. John A. McGoogan, tax supervisor, has secured registration data from the motor vehicle department for this area. This information is being' studied and checked by the, fax list ers of the border townships for cars which are actually owned in Hoke county but accre^ted to adjoining counties becaqpe the car owners re ceive their mail from postoffices lo cated in those counties. Particutet^ true is this situation on rural routes from Aberdeen, Red Spririgs, Wagram and Lumber Bridge, it was said. Mr. McGoogan stated that the Hoke county allotoient will probably be raised considerably when this check is completed.
