WINDY’S FRIDAY
QUIP BRINGS MORE
j C. Hardwck Comes Up
With Brilliant Idea For
Paul Hess
By WINDY
jjoW we re getting somewhere.
Instead of starting a bucket
hviaade from here to Winston
Salem, as suggested in the Wil
^inaton News “Weather Quips”
last Friday, J- C. Hardwick, 308
Colonial drive, has come up with
brilliant idea to relieve the
water shortage in the Cigarette
^Hardwick, in a letter to “Edi
tor 0f Weather Quips” yesterday,
Sa*‘Tn my opinion the bucket
brigade idea i^ a swell sugges
tion, but believe you will agree
'hat it would be much easier to
[rove Weatherman Paul Hess to
Winston-Salem instead!”
And he adds a final punch:
■ p s. The sooner the better.”
Why didn’t we think of that
in the first place? We figured
it would take 900,000 men, all
equipped with buckets, spread
along' the highway between here
and W-S to provide the much
needed water up there.
But with Hardwick’s idea, we
could accomplish the same result
by simply moving Hess, lock,
5tock and barometer, to W -S.
Then Wilmingtonians could
put away their umbrellas and
rubbers, go back to the beaches
once more, and Coach Brogden
could let his grid boys play their
games as scheduled.
The bucket brigade idea had
its points, but we are always
willing to take good suggestions.
Besides, we must admit that
we got the idea from an old
FDR joke.
It went suiiieuiing uive ima.
FD was making one of his
famous fireside chats. “My
friends,” he said with the voice
that gave confidence to millions,
I have a plan to transfer the
Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific
Ocean. The transfer, which we
at Washington have worked out
to the last detail, would 1 not be
by means of a transcontinental
pipeline, nor by means of the
Panama Canal, but by means of
a bucket brigade.”
See what we mean
Hardwick’s idea, however, has
one drawback. Hess says he
doesn't want to move to Winston
Salem. “I'd much rather go to
Florida,” he said*
Hardwick didn’t suggest any
other place for Hess to go be
sides Winston-Salem, but we are
sure, if he had, it would have
been a spot much warmer than
Florida,

Two Girls Sought To Write
Lonely Sweedish Stldiers
BY BOB KLINE
Staff Writer
A letter received yesterday
by Postmaster Wilbur Doshur
from two lonely Swedish
soldiers, revealing the world
wide popularity of American
girls, has prompted a Star
News contest to choose two
girls to correspond with the
Soldiers.
Hans Hellberg and Folbe
Isaksson are two soldiers in the
Swedish army stationed “in the
great solitude” of north Sweden
and they asked Postmaster
Doshur to try to find two Amer
ican girls to write to them.
They wrote:
“Dear Postmaster: We are
sure you’ll be very surprised
when you read this. You. see we
are two soldiers in the great
solitide of north Sweden.
“Just now we got the idea
of having some fun. Please give
our addresses to two (2) girls
(17—21 years) and beg them to
write us. Please do this.
“We are sure you can if you
want. We are no bad boys. We
are very cluture-minded and in
terested in literature (Heming
way, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Ers
kine Caldwell, Wolfe), art and
music (classical and old jazz).
“It isn’t necessary that the
girls have the same inteiests in
any case. We only wish some
one to correspond with and ex
change letters and thoughts
with.
“Please help us and we’ll be
very very thankful to you.
“With best wishes,.
“Folbe Isaksson
“Hans Hellberg.”
Recognizing that soldiers,
particularly in peace-time, are
traditionally lonely and always
waiting for letters, particularly
girls, and particularly from
American girls, the Star-News
Lonely Hearts department has
undertaken to find two Ameri
can girls for two Swedish sol
diers.
Wilmington girls between the
ages of 17 and 21 are invited
to'write to the Star-News Lone
ly Hearts department and tell
why they think they would be
the best long-distant girl friend
for one of these Swedish sol
diers. Prospective correspond
ents are asked to include in the
letter a description of them
selves and a small photo.
After all letters have been re
ceived, the Lonely Hearts edi
tor and a committee of five,
the names of which will be an
nounced at a later date, will
choose two girls who will take
over the pleasant job of writing
to Hans and Folbe.
The Swedes are relying on the
charm of the American girls to
penetrate through letters the
“great solitude of north Swed
en.”
American girls have a habit
of spreading their charm in
spite of great obstacles and the
Lonely Hearts editor is sure
they won’t let Sweden down.
Send your letters, girls, to the
Lonely Hearts editor, Wilming

Bladenboro Man
Said Recovering
From Injuries
BLADENBORO, Sept. 13.—
Pfc. Carl H. Pait, Jr., has ar
rived in the United States and
is a patient at Valley Forge
General hospital, Phoenixville,
Pennsylvania.
His father, Carl Pait, Sr., of
Bladenboro and his brother- in
law, Norman Miller of White
ville returned recently from a
visit to Pheonixville and say
tbr' be is doing well.
iwo oi the chief stumbling
olocks toward dairy industry ex
pansion is a lack of trained men
to handle certain specialized
tasks and a definite need for
more research to point the way
toward higher production at a
reduced cost per unit of output.
A strong band of North Caro
linians have set themselves the
job of clearing that brace of ob
stacles in order to give Tar
Heels more than just enough
milk to set their breakfast cere
als. t
The State’s dairy industry now
is handling an annual business
volume of approximately $85,
000,000, but there is plenty of
room for growth. And more
dairies and processing plants
are making their debut almost
every week.
Focal point for dairy progress
is at N. C. State college, center
of farm research and dairy
training in Tar Heelia.
Around $100,000 already has
been invested in new dairy lab
oratory equipment at State and
an additional sum of approxi
mately $100,000 will be spent
within the next two years for
more facilities, including barns,
fences, livestock, and machin
ery.
The varied types of training,
relating to the dairy science
field, includes the regular four
year curricula, the graduate
training program, and intensive
snort courses iasmonea to train
men in the practical aspects of
dairy work. Last year 201 men
were enrolled in three different
short courses.
The students, some of whom
had never visited a college
campus until State college be
gan its short courses, came
from many sections of the State
and were, according to college
officials, more interested in the
training given than scores of
regular college men.
Short courses were conducted
in dairy production, frozen food
locker work, dairy manufactur
ing, ice cream making, and
market milk. In addition, there
were special courses for dairy
herd supervisors and for dairy
field men.
Forward - looking farmers,
dairymen, farm educators, and
scientists long have felt that
these periods of intensive in
struction for farm workers are
one of the chief needs of mod
ern agricultural education. Re
sults of the first courses empha
size the value of the work.
