for minor infractions of the regu.
lations, why not put these men
to more constructive work-to
hunting down real criminals?
What this city needs is more
speed by autos on the main
highway arteries and not less
speed; fewer traffic lights and
not more. I think the police
here spend too much time chas.
ing some law-abiding motorist
who had done little or nothing.
If the general public, pedestrians
and police would consider for q
moment what the average auto
mobile owner pays in taxes, be-
lieve kinder treatment and more
consideration would be shown
motorists. My experience with
police has not been pleasant, and
instead Of feeling friendly to-
ward them as a group, detest
their manner and attitude.

I am a salesman who only has

opinion that my chances for
steady work would be much
stronger if these two questions
I am about to submit would be
lawfully declared negative:
First-Should any person be
allowed to hold more then one
job at a time?
Seconds Should supported
married women be permitted to
work?
Personally, I believe that
right here is where the unem-
ployment situation lies and II

be solved that the city would
find this a much better COM
munity in which to live-in

"A National Holiday"

Twenty years ago when it was
announced that hostilities had
ceased, and the cruel war was
over, how we rejoiced and how
anxiously we awaited the return
to the U. s. of our boys who
were fortunate enough to re-
turn. For those who never came
back the deepest sympathy was
felt for their families and
friends.
Finally we had them at home.
Great hospitality was shown
them and all were proclaimed

But how about the jobs they
left behind them to go ito make
our nation safe?" In most cases

this worthy assured me that
Mr.. Howard was all wet. That
was on Saturday. Come Monday
1 knew I would have to go back
to work.
My tent was pitched slap in
the middle of what passed for
the barrack square at Camp
Polk, site of North Cardinals
annual State fair, about a mile
and a half outside Raleigh. It
had a board floor and a board
base for the flaps and was the
only luxury tent in camp.

had been brought to Polk
from Gettysburg to teach the
men of the Tank Corps bayonet-
fighting, having carried a good
record in that line from the
British army. Why men who
were going to steer tanks and
shoot from tanks should be
taught bayonetfighting passed
my comprehension. But in the
army you do as you are told or
get as near to doing it as you
can-consistent with a leisurely
life.
THE bugler never bothered me
n as he obviously did Irving
Berlin. I'd been a soldier so long
that I could sleep through the
Somme barrage of 1916-the
greatest amount of noise ever
made in this world. Around $50
L would wake up and holler for
my water, shave and wander
over to the mess hall. It would
be closed to ordinary persons by
then but the cook was one of
my pals.
After a large meal made up of
the best the Government could
afford I would walk over to the
administration tent and check
the newcomers with Sergt. Mai.

vorably remembered by the
movie fans of those days. He was
at different times leading man
to Mary Pickford and the two
Talmadges and, after the war,
a star in his own right.
Neither Kerry nor I could see
the sense of teaching bayonet-
fighting to tankers but we knew
it was useless to argue the point
with the high command. So we
solved the problem by fixing up
the parade sheets to look as
though there had been a lot of
bayonet practice. In this fash
ion we earned the undying graft
tude of the troops.
u X
W1E had more than 1000 men
" in camp by the time the
armistice came around and we
took them in at the rate Of
l25 a day. While I did a little
visiting Kerry would shake out
the rockies and pass them on
to the battalion sergeant-majors
on the hill. BY the time he was
through my car would be on
the square. I had come into
the Tank Corps in fairly COM
Portable circumstances so could
well afford this luxury. I'll give
you one guess at the name of
the old gentleman who paid
my chauffeur.
We lunched almost every day
at the old Marlborough Hotel,
lolled around the lobby and
then spent the afternoons visit
ing. Raleigh was full of pretty
girls, all of them charmingly
hospitable-and I was 20 years
younger than l am today. At
dusk we drove back to camp
so that Kerry could check in
the recruits off the afternoon
train. That done, back to the
Marlborough for dinner - then
poker, or a dance or other sorts
of good times.
And then they had to have

Since that time much has
