Climaxing the week's program was

camper for the week were selected.
By popular vote, Bunch Mcfherson
of Camden and Kathleen Gregory
of Pasquotank were selected the best
campers. Runners-up included Betty
Lou Nelson of Camden, Madge Cope
land of Chowan, Archie T. Lane of
Perquimans and Will Trotman of
Camden. The winners were present
ed 4-H automatic pencils with the
motto "To make the best better"

During the week, classes were con
ducted in the following subjects:
Wildlife by Mr. Overman; Handi
crafts by Misses Colwell, Maness,
Bailey and Mrs. Sawyer; Woodcraft

Swimming by life guards.
Duties of the week were divided

the following program duties and
other duties at least once: flag rais
ing and setting up exercises, after
noon recreation, vespers and evening
recreation; and other duties included
K. P., cleaning barracks, grounds
and recreation hall.
High-lights of the week included

efforts of John D. Keckefeller, Jr.
Mr. Rockefeller has spent approxi
mately $37,000,000 since 1927 in re
storing Williamsburg to the colonial
city it once was. The Capitol, Public
Gaol, Governor's Palace, Raleigh
Tavern and George Wythe House and
garden were among the most inter
esting places visited.

Keeping Bases
Peace!
The joyous news that the peace lov
ing people of the world have await
ed for more than 14 years was re
leased Tuesday when President Tru
man announced the Japanese had sur
rendered to the Allied Nations. Now
for the first time since the Japanese
began their aggression against China
back in 1931, the world is at peace.
World War II began back when the
Japs invaded sections of China to set
up their East Asia empire; it gradu
ally grew as Mussolini threw his arm
ed forces into Etheopia and Hitler be
gan to take his cues from the Italian
dictator and lay claim to the so-called
German areas of Europe. The
three Axis powers finally welded to
gether their individual schemes for
acquiring world domination and it
was about this time that the peaceful
nations of the globe realized that only
force would stop the aggressors from
obtaining their goal.

future. Men in the ranks were sim-J
ilarly optimistic, but they realise
that much bloody fighting probably
still ' remains. My personal belter,
heightened by the recent entry of
Russia and the successful use of the
new atomic bomb, is that victory
over Japan will be won before the
end of this year, or sooner.
"Even aftor ; victory, however, I
have come to the eonclusion that it
will be necessary for us to retain
many of these Pacific bases as a
guarantee of the safety of the United
States against potential future ag
gressors in the Pacific. These bases
have been won by American courage
and blood, and I certainly do not
want, if the world should be cursed
by another war, that our boys should
be required to conquer them over
again. As almost all military and
naval installations at these bases
have been completed, the cost to the
national treasury of maintaining
these bases should not be great but
will be limit id to that amount nec
essary for upkeep. To my way of
thinking, this small yearly invest'
ment will be amply repaid by the
protection which these bases afford
to -our country, and may well be
economically profitable to our mer
chant marine, our overseas air lines,
and our fishing industry.
"All of the enlisted men with whom
I talked, and the officers, too, were
anxious to get home as soon as pos
sible. They realize, however, that the
job of licking Japan must first be
done. Conditions under which they
live are sanitary, but lacking; in al
most all of the comforts which are
part of our daily life at home. Few
men 'beef about these living condi
tions, although many do speak of the
boredom which they feel during
times of inactivity in these island
areas. One common complaint, how
ever, was that the Armjrs rotation
policy was still not working well. I
feel that some action should be taken
by the War Department to correct
this condition.
"One cannot visit these areas with
out being depressed by the terrible
destructiveness of modern warfare.
At Manila, for example, I saw a great
modern city pounded to rubble by our
artillery and Japanese demolitions.
for the- men manning our submarines
and airplanes who have, to aft prac
tical purposes, swept Japanese ship
ping off even their inland seas.' -"In
the, advanced areas,, practically
all members of the armed forces wear
similar uniforms. They are working
closely together, with but little re
gard to the branch of service in
which they are enrolled. Soma petty
Jealousies naturally exist, bat these
have been pretty well forgotten and
obliterated in the common task. Each
I service and the men who comprise the
service realise, the importance of the
work which the others are doing and
the contribution which they are mak
ing both to final victory and to the
efficiency of their own job. . Self-interest
has largely been sublimated to
the common need and our common
cause.
"As chairman of the Coast Guard
sub-committee, I particularly, noted
Coast Guard activities in the Pacific
area. The men of that organisation
are manning many of the invasion
ships, such as the large attack trans
ports and the famous LST's. All sea
and air navigation in the broad dis
tances of the Pacific are also handled
through Coast Guard navigational aid
facilities. Miscellaneous jobs such as
supervising the loading or explosives
at advance bases, the maintenance of
some air-sea rescue facilities, the in
spection of American merchant ships
to insure their safety, and the main
tenance of discipline among the sea
men of the American merchant ma
rine, are likewise contributing to the
smooth operation of our Pacific ac
tivities. Their work in that area has
been greatly praised by the high
ranking officers with whom I spoke
concerning it. Our old 'sandpound-
ers' have also been doing a great job
in handling our invasion barges.
Some of these are from my own dis
trict. "This trip was extremely arduous
for those who took it, as we lived
under most primitive conditions in
the forward areas. We flew an aver
age of over a thousand miles a day,
and we were required to arise before
dawn each morning in order to start
our day's journey. But while k was
difficult, I feel that I and the other
members who took this trip have de
rived great benefits from it. We re
ceived first hand knowledge of exist
ing war conditions, as well as of the
future peace-time needs of our coun
try in the Pacific. This information
should aid us tremendously in our

On Okinawa I saw the city of Naha,

a terrible thing, for the victor as well

"Traveling through the Pacific, one
is much impressed by the magnificent
job which our soldiers and sailors are
doing. Ground troops, airmen, sea
men, and submariners are all combin
ing their abilities in a single coopera
tive effort to whip Japan as quickly
as possible. While I do not wish to
single out any group, for they are all
doing their job as well as is humanly
possible, I should like to mention the
work of the Seabees, who have gained
the admiration and respect of every
man in the Pacific by the marvelous
construction jobs which they have
done in building air fields, roads and
other military installations. And a

Man Had Brick In His
Stomach For 10 Years
One man recently stated that for
10 years he felt like he had a brick in
his stomach. This feeling was due to
the lump of undigested food he always
had inside of him. He was weak,
worn out, headachy, swollen with gas
and terribly constipated. Recently he
started taking INNER-AID and says
the feeling like a brick in his stomach
disappeared the second day. Bowels
are regular now, gas and headaches
are gone 'and he feels like a new man.
INNER-AID contains 12 Gseat

from stomach, act on sluggish liver
and kidneys. Miserable people soon
