THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C. GLIMPSES OF TH E PAS T By CAROLYN LLOYD It was hard to believe, but there it was in black and white: an army Pfc. has been acquitted on a court martial charge that he wilfully de stroyed government property. The charge. Slicing the eyes of potatoes instead of digging them out with a knife. To make the story more astounding, the name of the ac cused is Andrew God, Jr. That must have been an interest ing trial. Imagine the tense still ness in the court room when the prosecuting officer demanded, “Now, God, did you or did you not slice the eyes out of those potatoes?” My sympathy goes out to that soldier. He must have suffered greatly at the hands of his com rades-in-arms. No doubt he is ac customed to hearing, “Who do you thing you are—God?” and other supposedly humourous cracks. No wonder the boy lost his perspective and lashed back at the army and the world by committing the hein ous crime of slicing when he should have dug. It was a crime that any cook could understand. Getting the eyes out of a pound of potatoes is tedious enough, and the thought of tackling enough for an army mess is enough to drive one to desperate measures. Seriously, though, such a trial makes the U. S. Army look ridic ulous. To a civilian a court martial sounds like an important trial. His mind pictures the scenes in the court martial of General Billy Mitchell ,who defied his superiors over the question of air power, or the Marine, McKeon, charged with leading men to their deaths. In comparison, a trial over peeling potatoes seems like going from the sublime to the ridiculous. .It is comforting, however, to know that someone in the army is concerned about wasting money. We hear tales of surplus equip ment discarded and rotting and the duplication of materials that cost the taxpayers millions. Perhaps Congress, in an economy drive, sent out an order to balance the budget by saving on potatoes. Our own General Assembly, definitely an economy-minded one, might have profited by the idea. They could sent out a directive on po tato peeling to all state institu tions and to the headquarters of the National Guard in Henderson. Pfc. Andrew God, Jr., was ac quitted, and, if still on k.p., is probably now painstakingly dig ging out potato eyes. If that story got about widely,the army might be having a little trouble with re cruiting right now .The real dan ger lies in the possibility that the story was picked up by the press in countries that are not overly fond of the U. S. A. They could hardly be blamed for using the MESBsIfBBi • «’- ' now you're all set for \ / year-round spring! gg ■•:■• v - • | . s-. m s\ > |WMM| / \ I W gL—J BBSSMBaIiI FK . \v Ml x' ■* • ' 'jK 11 wrab.- • \ ■» < Wit* \ * sis *♦ *oll K J* x~- vi dKgRIwM Ak-A' w /.v> XWza «wviv«v aW* ■ JHHEBfifl vepco home design engineer: Once your Electric Heat Pump is set to your favorite indoor climate, you can forget it. you: Don’t you even have to change it from winter to summer? 1 ir-nn/t nrTTm 1 iiinuo engineer: No indeed.

VIRGINIA ELECTRIC { ELfl) 1 and POWER COMPANY 15rv/ 1 HEAVY PENALTY FOR SHOOTING NAVIGATION AIDS; WARNING GIVEN NORFOLK, June 19.—A buoy light found extinguished by a shot from a small caliber firearm in Jones Bay, North Carolina has prompted Coast Guard authorities to warn hunters and practicing marksman against using aids to navigation as targets. The Coast Guard pointed out that interference with the proper function of aids to navigation is a violation of Federal Regulations, regardless of intent, and that those convicted are liable to fines up to and including $2,500. Addi tionally, the individuals is liable for costs to the government in placing the “aid” back on opera tion. Those shooting firearms on or hear the water are cautioned against the possibility of ricochets striking navigation aids, thereby placing the shooter in a position of interfering with their proper function. The Coast Guard also pointed out an additional hazard in shoot ing over water. Projectiles have a tendency to skip along the sur face and carry greater distances than the normal range of the fire arm. Accuracy is uncertain under this circumstance giving the shooter no control over his target and heighting the possibility of striking an unintentional object, possibly human.
