# Thov were kidding Steve Stefa
nou the other day about going io
the carnival Monday night and
spending two hours and ten cents.
#A tired old collio dog slept
peacefully in front of Sam Sack
nofT's place of business the other
morning, but not for long.
"Get away from there." Sam
shouted, chasing the dog. "People
want to look in our windows/'
And Sam almost believed it when
I told him not to bother the dog.
because he only had a case of
malaria.
|| And speaking of malaria. Wil
liam Henderson and I were talking
Sunday morning about just that.
He said he wasn't feeling up to
par. that he probably had it too.
Then I recalled the time that
the Navy made a survey on the
Courthouse lawn here for about
two weeks. Smears were taken of
everybody who passed by or volun
teered to submit to the needle, and
the remarkable finding was that
less than five per cent of the
smears were positive. And. of
them, less than that were'natives
who had it.
"It proves." I told William, "that
a lot of folks around here who
complain about having malaria,
don't have it at all. What makes
them lazy and so forth is a good
old case of Eastern North Carolina
itis."
Writing in the Kivvanis News
this week, Sam look up shaving
and said:
"At one time and another every
one in this club has formed the ha
bit of shaving as up to this time
we have not discovered an EAG
ER BEAVER in this group of
enlightened men. Who started this
idea of shaving anyway? When
and why? Ever think or it? What
a trick that fellow pulled. The ra
zor manufacturers ought to offer
him a vote of thanks and a brand
new razor blade—a sharp (?) one.
Unfortunately this fellow has pass
ed on into oblivion and there are
no monuments erected in his hon
or. Or why am I writing about this
anyway? Perhaps to fill up space
and not be criticized as I once was
by Harvey Boney. and taxed forth
with by the tail twister now
known as the nickle snatcher (where
is that man?). Suppose, if beards
and mustaches were still in vogue
the advertisements would be tell
ing Us the girls pass up dates—or
do they—because of dandruff in the
whiskers or some other obnoxious
fault that can be remedied by Lis
ten ne. mange cure, lifebouy soap
or Whosis roach powder. The cus
tom of shaving can be traced to
antiquity. The Egyptians shaved,
n Greece, Alex the Great, about
»00 B. C.. ordered his soldiers to
shave off their beards so that their
enemies could not seize them. What
an opportunity! .Just grab the oth
er Fellow's alfalfa-and do your
stuff."
% Horace Cotton evidently didn't
have anything else to do after
reading it. and started figuring, tie
estimated that a lot of time in a
man's life is wasted by just that
operation.
He figured that if a man lives
to be 70 years old and started
shaving at the age of 20 and if
he used ten minutes a dav to shave,
in all that time he used un a to
tal of 100 days doing nothing at
all but lathering and scraping his
puss.
Harvey Boney obserevd thai he
started shaving when he was twelve
years old and cut himself both
times.
0 \leri Ferguson and .Tim Collins
were among the fellows who went
down to Moreheao City Tuesday
afternoon to superintend the oil
drilling.
The first thing they noticed on
arrival was a little dog standing
near the well. "That's the reason
they ain't found oil," Meri ob
served. They're using an oil pup
pv. and they should have an oil
dog. Like the one I've got and want
to sell Dick Merrill."

Supplemental Tanks
r For Airplanes Make
War Path To Tokyo
AP Newsfeatures
0 Pearl Harbor., T. H.—Once
there were mountains of carefully
boxed belly and wing tanks here,
and Capt J. W. Boundy. something
of a wizard in naval aviation sup
ply. winced every time he saw
3 them.
At a time when carrier-based
_ planes jettisoned their auxiliary
. tanks because it was believed un
safe to land with them. Boundy
saw to it that plenty were ordered.
Flying practice changed, and as
• the turnover on tanks declined the
size of stockpiles increased.
Now the mountains have moved
—to the Marianas, to I wo Jima,
and perhaps to the Ryukyus—for
flying and bombing methods have
changed again.
With long-range P-51 Mustangs,
P-47 Thunderbolts and F-4U Cor
sairs flying great distances over
water, wing and belly tanks are in
heavy demand.
^ Because of their weight and drag
? they are jettisoned when empty,
f One hundred fifty Mustangs cov
ering a B-29 mission will drop 300
1 wing tanks in the ocean.
The largest stacks of anything
. in the Pacific are boxes of these
s auxiliary tanks, but if Capt. Boun
_ dy walks by a pile of them, he no
? longer shudders. The Japanese are
wincing now.

0 The Onslow County Board of
County Commissioners Monday
approved a 1945-46 fiscal year
budget calling for expenditures of
$4:55,000. the largest appropria
tion in history of the county, and
at the same time levied a tax rale
of 90c per SI00, the lowest rate
in history of the county.
The huge appropriation, which
is 75 percent higher than the
5248.000 for the last fiscal year,
and the low tax levy are made
possible by an increase in prop
erty valuation, surplus and un
expended balance. The tax levy
for the past fiscal year was $1.12
per hundred dollars valuation.
The marked increase in appro
priations resulted from recent ac
tions by the Board of Commis
sioners in voting a total of $230.
300 for school additions and re
pairs at Dixon. White Oak and
Swansboro. The remaining in
crease was brought about by slight
salary hikes for various county
employees and a paving assess
ment against county property on
College street leading to the On
slow County Hospital.
In setting the total tax rate,
the board levied 12 cents for
county general fund purposes, 28
cents for county debt service, .01
for current school expense. 41c
for capital outlay for schools, .05
for old age assistance. .02 for
aid to dependent children, and
.01 for aid to the blind.
No levies were made in some
departments, because unexpended
balances will take care of forth
coming obligations during the next
fiscal year, according to Auditor
J. J. Cole.
In arriving at the low tax rate,
the auditor even trimmed his es
timates of income during the fis
cal year. For instance, from sour
ces other 1han taxes. Cole estima
ted that the county would realize
approximately $75,000 net profit
from ABC sales instead of an es
timated S132.000 for the current
fiscal year. The estimate was low
ered in view of the scarcity of
beverages and stock to be offered
for sale.
