Russian Zone Comics Kid Communist Masters Berlin (AP)? The grapevine gag slers are at it again in the Soviet zone of Germany. A new crop of jokes deriding the Russians, the Communists and all things Bol shevist has been harvested in re cent weeks. "Refugees sliding past grim guards bring the gags with them to West Berlin where it is con siderably safer to indulge in them. They say, however, that the anti state jokes are part of the nightly routine in many a beer hall, told with one eye out for the nearest Communist cop. The Russian zone threat to rearm is reflected in the latest wisecracks. An example concerns the conversa tion between Schmidt and his friend Mueller who is foreman of a heavy industry plant. Schmidt asks what they make and Mueller replies: "Perambulators." "Fine," Schmidt says, "I need one for my baby. Can you slip me the parts?" Mueller agrees and some time later they meet again, and he asks how the baby carriage works. "Well, I really thought I knew something about mechanics," Schmidt says, "but I have fitted the parts together three times now and the result is always a cannon. Are you sure you are making baby carriages?" , . + East zone production tomes in for a rib, aside from the war-peace political arguments. A plant man ager comments to a visitor his as sembly line produced only 5,000 items in its first year, raised that to 50, 000 and now has a goal of a half million. "Really," marvels the visitor, "just what arc you manufactur ing?" The manager lifts a small plate from a conveyor belt. It bears the stamp: "Elevator out of order." The Communist hierarchy in the East draws a good share of barbs. The propaganda chief is informed by his aide that "the demonstra tion against the western warmon gers and for the creation of a na tional army must be cancelled be cause it is raining cats and dogs." "Those dam yankees are capable of anything," the chief shouts in rage. President Wilhelm Pieck re ceives an aged caller, then learns it is his old school teacher. "Do me a favor, Willy," the old man cackles, "don't tell anybody I Once taught you." Some of the barbs have a Czech or Polish flavor. The tale spread ers tell of a Czech soldier in a Prague prison who blames his own laziness for his trouble. Asked how come, he sayi: "Yesterday I met an acquaint ance and we discussed the political situation. I thought I had enough time until today to inform the po lice against him, but he denounced me last night." In the Polish poet -of StetUn, a Soviet officer turns a ship over to the Poles with a long speech ex tolling Russian generosity. He fin ishes, removes his Russian cap, dons a Polish cap, and thanks the great Stalin for the gift in the name of the Polish people. Communist "definitions" that float among the clandestine clowns I include: . Anglo-American ? A Soviet oath. Blockade ? a philanthropic Soviet experiment to make city dwellers immune to hunger and cold. Sabo taged by airlift. Airlift ? provocative supplying of Berlin with food and fuel, a bluff which was discontinued after the end of the blockade. Peace Committee ? a Bolshevist fighting unit for bombarding the peace, equipped to issue fifty pro j test resolutions a day. 1 Warmonger ? person unwilling to be swallowed up by Bolshevism. Progressive ? anything in line with Moscow's policy. Activist ? an obedient pioneer of the progressive idea of more work at less pay. People's Democracy ? a dictator ship wrapped up in a sheep's hide. Reconstruction ? removal of un tidy railroad tracks from German rail lines. Inventions ? ?what happens in the Soviet Union. Humor ? a strange, fi'reigrt t?ord. Foot Ships Tie Up A! Port Terminal Four ships were tied up at the port terminal in Morehead City on Monday. The Norwegian tanker, Julian, and three Navy transport ships were in the harbor. The naval transports, the Navar ro, the Fremont, and the Mar quette, were here to return Marines to Camp Lejeune. The men, some two thousand of them, are return ing from a Mediterranean detail. Beaufort Geodetic Survey Gets Underway This Weak A new geodetic survey of Beau fort inlet, harbor and surrounding waters will get under way this week by a_shorc-based party of 12 men under the direction of Commander C. R. Reed, U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, a division of the Commerce department. Depths, shore line and other physical data will be prepared on 3 one-twenty-five thousands scale. Stop-Sign Girdled Des Moines (AP)? When Joe Mazza, city maintenance man, found a (top-sign fitted with a lady's girdle he turned in a writ ten report as follows: "Two-way stretch girdle removed from sign. Stretch all gone. Size about 38, could have been smaller when new." Deposits " Now Insured Up To $10,000 What Factors Safeguard Bank Deposits? 1. GOOD BANK MANAGEMENT.

It suggested that reflectors be placed on all bicycles, that jaywalking be abolished, that obstructions be re moved from blind corners, that drivers be forced to use hand sig nals, that the loading and unload ing of trucks in the business dis trict he limited, that action be taken to cut down the speed of trucks on Bridges street, and that a four-lane highway be constructed from Marehead City to New Bern.

Fluehart will receive 20 per cent of all such taxes which he collccts. The town will furnish Fluehart with free desk space in the city hall, and he will do all the work necessary to collect deliquent taxes for 1950 and prior. He agreed to furnish a bond of $1000. Fluehart asked that the agree ment be in force for one year. The commissioners decided, however, that it should run at the pleasure of the board.

New Bloomfield, Pa. (AP)? That , ?huckleberry bush may be the oldest I living thing in the world. Here in | the woods of central Pennsylvania J just such a claim is made.

DEPARTMENT STORE patch of box huckleberry for spe- I cial preservation. The network of green-leafed vine, both above and below ground, covers many acres and is believed to be 13,000 years old. Pennsylvania's Department of For- ; ests and Waters owns four acres of this along a road near New Bloomfield's little airport in Perry, county. How are the berry bushes known j to be 13.000 years old? Simply by j a process of deduction and calcu- j lation. Albert R. Mickalitis, senior research forester for the Forests ! and Waters department, and other I botanists hold that the plant does not germinate. ? In other words, its seeds do not sprout into new plants. No seed lings have been found. They be lieve therefore that the colony orig inated from a single plant. The box huckleberry, under fav orable conditions, grows about six inches a year, says Mickalitis. Working on that basis it can be calculated that it would take about lj},200 years to cover the area now occupied. The patch now owned by the state was discovered many years ago. It covers 100 acres. Other occurences of natural grovVth of /the shrub since have been found in Delaware, Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia, Ken tucky and Tennessee. ' 100 rtOOP UQUEUK SOUTHERN COMPORT CORP ST LOUIS 3 MISSOURI ; Phone (Continued from Page 1) not be guaranteed unless rate in creases allowing the company a reasonable return on its invest ment are permitted by the Utili ties Commission. The members of the boatpd asked Darrow where this continual re quest for Increased rates was go ing to stop. He replied that he did not know, it was a matter entirely dependent upon inflationary Torces. If prices and taxes continue to rise, costs to the consumer must %o up. If the company cannot operate at a profit designated by the Utili ties Commission, then it must go out of business. Darrow indicated that if the Utilities Commission did not con tinue to grant increased rates, com panies such as his cannot continue to operate. The board members agreed that i public utilities operating as they do today are more efficient than those directly run by the govern ment. They seemed to agree also that unless inflation stops somewhere, public utilities (unless costs are passed on to the consumer) will no longer be able to operate at a fair return and will be forced to op erate as government agencies. The Chamber of Commerce members seemed to agree that the position in which public utilities find themselves is just another ox ample of the tendency toward so cialism in this country and they expressed fear that unless halted soon, these tendencies will con tinue to grow and more and more private industries will be forced out of business. Present at Friday's meeting were Holden Ballou. Dr. W. L. Woodard. Dan'l Walker, Glenn Adair, Gerald Hill, Wiley Taylor, jr., and E. W. Downum, all members of the Beau fort Chamber of Commerce board of directors. Present also was the Carteret county manager of the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company, Lonnie Daniels. Vancouver.
