I have tried for years to per -1 suade publishers to fill in these spots with something else and ’ use the saved space, which a mounts to about 360 pages a year, for the publication of my book entitled “How To Survive in the Nuclear Age Without , Fillers.” They’ll have none of it. , Browsing through last week’s paper, I found a choice one which read as follows. “The Blue Jay, known in North Carolina as ‘Jaybird,’ builds a large and not over-tidy nest of twigs, leaves, roots, rags, wool and materials.” This revolting piece of clap trap would not be news to a tree swinging baboon. These en lightening fragments of tor mented information range from such eye-openers as. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” to some drivel about the body temperature’s of lizards being “approximately 40 de grees.” One shudders to think of the deranged minds which concoct this nauseas mosaic of nonsense. It has always been my suspicion that the primary source‘for the fillers are inmates of- mental institutions; and that the blurbs of information are taken byway of a tape recorder in the hands of the supervisor, who wanders from cell to cell collecting the most psychotic thoughts of his, charges. Body temperature of a lizard, indeed! Mrs. Salley Bardin’s cat, Bill- Bill, eats refrigerated (grass. She reports that, next to mice, it is his favorite food. An amazingly intelligent animal, the cat has an inherent distrust of reporters. Ever hear of motar termite? Mrs. Sallie G. Harris of Eliza beth City has, and she hopes it is for the last time. Mrs. Harris was bothered with what she has described as a “settling chim ney” last December, when a mortar termite specialist named James Hoover offered his expert opinion as to the source of Mr “settling chimenys.” Hoover told the worried lady that the destruction was being caused by, of all things, by “mortar ter mites.” It just so happened that Hoover had concocted a spray which would kill the winged pests and prevent them from eating away the bricks' in her chimney. Mrs. Harris claims she paid Hoover SI,OOO for his services, thinking that her pro blem had been solved. By February 24 the chimney was still settling and Mrs. Harris has filed suit against ing here. Mrs. Zeta Roberts, Mrs. Jesse Black and Robert Roberts of Norolk and Mrs; H. D. Brinn of Creswell visited here last week end. Mrs. Don JJarris, who has been a patient at the Beaufort County Hospital, has returned home. . Pratt Williamson and Mrs. J. M. Berry are patients at the Heaufort County Hospital. THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C. NEW BIDS ASKED ON ' DREDGING IN MANTEO Colonel R. P. Davidson, Wil mington District Engineer, has announced that bids received in his office on 1 May for dredg ing to be performed in Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay had been re jected as excessive. The work is being rfeadvertised. The new bid opening date is 22 May 1962, at 2:30 p. m., and will take place in l the District Engi neer’s offied, 308 Customhouse, Wilmington. Colonel Davidson said that'the work to be done consists of the reihoval and disposal of all shoal material lying above the plane of 12 feet below mean low water in the channels between Wanchese, N. C., and the gorge in Oregon Inlet, within the limits as shown on the dredging drawings. The quantity of ma terial to be removed is estimat ed to be approximately 260,000 cubic yards, including the es timated' allowable overdepth dredging. Bids under this procurement are solicited from small business concerns only. 1 Hoover for the fraud. Governor I Millard Tawes of Maryland has ! ordered Hoover’s return to 1 North Carolina, and he will 1 face trial here soon. ~ There is the problem as to whether there really is such an insect as the “mortar termite.” Hoover’s defense will probably resemble the yarn about the man standing on the streets of San Francisco, snapping his Fingers, who was approached by a pedestrian who inquired as to what was going on “Keeping away the elephants,” the finger snapper replied. “But there are no elephants within 3,000 miles i of here,” the stranger said. “Just proves what a good job I’m doing,” was the reply. Queen Juliana of th Nether lands threw a royal twist party aboard her royal liner Oranje last week. The bandleader said that Queen Elizabeth danced “like a queen, beautifully and with great dignity” He report ed that she didn’t do the twist. Prince Phillip did, however, but his version of the current dance craze was said to be something less than “abandoned.” I*ll sleep easier now. A tree surgeon has been com missioned to perform surgery on the ancient oak in the Eliza bethan Garden which is believed to have been on Roanoke Island when the Raleigh Expedition established Fort Raleigh. The incident is reminiscent of an episode which happened in Lumberton several years ago when the oldest oak in the town had fallen into decay, the town fathers hired an in ebriated tree specialist to patch the tree, whose general imbecil ity was execeeded only by his rank • carelessness. As the gentleman was being paid by the day, he kept an alarm clock nearby to remind him of the hour. Somehow he managed to seal the clock into the tree as he was applying the mortar. The mistake turned into one most alarming tree stories on record. MIDSUMMER’S / DELIGHT I - ■ rwdOWH - /*^ im '■.■ %i * II I A vision of loveliness will be I 11/ you in a Candy. |r.
