This time it is oil—that liquid gold of the southwest. Prior commitments from the On slow county town have indicated that most anything can happen in that place—and most everything does. Perhaps they have discov ered oil there and perhaps they haven’t but in either instance it makes a good story. Several months ago an out-house, constructed in the early days of Holly Ridge, burst into flames and after being extinguished by fire fighting equipment from Camp Davis further investigation of the Oily Substance The men who made the investiga tion found an oily substance. Lit tle thought was given to the mat ter until recently when J. J. Hude burg, Holly Ridge businessman, hotel keeper and president of the Rotary club began to look around Eor speakers to attend a meeting of his organization. The trace of oil was brought to mind and with the permission of L. E. Colburn, Morehead City, owner of the property, he invited K. A. Ackley, chief geologist of the Standard Oil company’s Cape Hat teras drilling crew ,to speak. Ackley was accompanied to Hoi [y Ridge by J. M. Schock, land man for the Standard company, both of whom inspected the oily substance and its contents. “I’ll be damned,” Hudeburg claims Ackley said when he was shown a test of the contents. Test Made The test consisted cf sticking a broom into the hole, soaking it with the liquid and toucling it with a match. The broom burst into ; flames and burned, say: Hudeburg somewhat like gas. _ ' ‘‘There is plenty of crde in that stuff and about a dzen other j mineral deposits,” Hudburg said | J. W. Darnell, a Sinclai Oil com- j pany scout, remarked wen he was j shown the sftme test lair. = Both companies have aken sev- g ;ral gallons of the liqul and are j now testing it in their laoratories, j Hudeburg ‘says. 5 A third scout has apeared on the scene more recently from the Tri-State Oil company and has also sent samples +■' te labora tories of his company, Hudeburg explained.

Will explain fully when I contact you in Holly Ridge.” Meanwhile the Camp Davis sub urb is rampant with rumors of the possibility of an oil boom.

PAT 75,000 Sportive Wearers Of The Green Parade Down Fifth Avenue NEW YORK, March 16—MP)—It really was a great day for the Irish on Fifth avenue today as 75,000 sportive wearers of the green paraded in bright sunlight in honor of Ireland’s patron saint. The proverbial luck of the Irish held for the first time since 1935. In the years intervening ifrew York city weather for the annual St. Patrick’s dhy parade was as wet and misty as the old sod itself. Maybe the box of 400 double lucky shamrocks received by Mayor William O’Dwyer from Peader S. Doyle, lord mayor of Dublin, had something to do with it. A police-estimated 1,500,000 New Yorkers, many wearing green ties, green shirts even green bobby sox —lined the route of the 116th annual parade, shouting, laughing, some times doing impromptu clog dances on the sidewalk. The skirl of bagpipes and the staccato sound of fife and drum made jaunty marching tunes for the paraders, led by veterans of “The Fighting Irish.’’ The 165th Infantry. Behind them were vete rans of the old 69th and Rainbow divisions and representatives of many Irish-American societies. Outside St. Patrick’s cathedral 25 Catholic church dignitaries, in cluding five bishops, were seated to wave a benign greeting in ac cordance with long-established custom. O’Dwyer, a county Mayo boy limself and the city’s first Irish corn mayor since 1894, was in the, reviewing stand at 64th street with governor Thomas E. Dewey and -,eo T. McGauley, consul general )f Eire at New York. ------ I GENERAL BURPEE MAKES CALL HERE Commander Of Second Military Railway Service Welcomed By Davis Brig. Gen. Clarence L.
