Cousin Albert Crews was actually
out walking on the sidewalk today.
If he keeps that up, he will soon be
walking around the corner to uptown.
John Watkins and Henry Pryor
have returned from Baltimore where
they went to buy spring clothes. Yes,
the girls will soon be thinking of
Easter corsages, and the boys about
a new suit.
A little girl passed this afternoon
cracking pecans with her teeth. l
stopped her long enough to show her
how snaggle-teethed 1 was, and ask
ed if she wanted to look like that,
and of course she said, mo" The
pity of it is that she will realize the
full meaning of what said after it is
too late.

two of the Orphanage ladies, in at
Roses. There were some jars Of

told me that was her home town and
that they ran force at work day and

asking, she told that the town was

Miss Bette King of Hester has re-
turned from Roanoke Rapids where
she visited friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell Milton were
in town this afternoon with their
five-weeks-old Shirley Anne. If her
eyes don't turn brown, they may stay
blue. She is a great-granddaugh of
Dick Blackwell.
Mrs. Ishome King and son Buck,
and Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Gooch, all
of Hester attended the Grange meet
ing at Goldsboro Monday.
Odell Oakley and all of his two
hundred-and-fifty pounds got lost in
town this morning. Rather was it
that the two or three who rode with
him from Berea to town could not
find him. They said that hunting for
a needle in a haystack was small
iproblem compared to keeping UP
with Odell after he had hit town.
Besides being all up in the air,
Philip Blackley is highly dis-in-thu-si-
as-ti-ca-ted over the trip he and Mrs.
Blackley just made to Florida. He
is not much of traveller, as he only
only went to the Chicago Worlds
Fair in 1884 where he saw all the
sights. He also went on nice long
trip to Canada last June. They left
Tuesday and returned the following
Monday.
Travelling through Sumpter, S. c.,
and on to Daytona Beach, Plant City,
Lake City, Tampa, Augusta, and
many other cities, they took in the

The orange and grapefruit groves al
ligator farm, a 50,0O0-acre swamp,
the plank bridge a half-mile long

Raleigh, March 1O-The basis for
practical legislation to control the
commercial use of rural roadsides will
be laid here Wednesday, March 16,
when the Governors Committee on
Roadside Control and Improvement
meets here.
AS the result of discussion at the
meeting, the committee hopes to lay
the groundwork for specific recon-
mendations to the 1899 General AS
sembly, Chairman Coleman w. Rob
erts, of Charlotte, said in announcing
the session.
He added that the discussion SHOULD
also develop a systematic plan Of
volunteer activities which will coor-
dinate the work of local organizations
with the county units of Governor
Hoey's Hospitality Committee.
$50 far as am concerned, however
the committee is not going to start a
movement to abolish billboards," Mr..
Roberts said.
He pointed out that the billboard
business is. one in which considerable
capital is invested and which gives
employment to many people.
But we do believe that the bill. .
boards need to be regulated and that
they can be without serious injury to
the industry he said.
There are other nuisances which are
even more Objectionable than bill
boards, he declared, citing the thous

Appar- cntly the War Department concur red in this opinion, which was also supported by the Federal Aviation Commission in report made as early as 1885 when it stated, Plain ly tbe pilots and operators who have gone to Alaska and mastered the technique of Arctic flying and deyel- oped the equipment that was re- ouired Lo face temperatures of 50 degrees below zero and snowfalls of 10 feet or more have done re- markable piece of work and as a result Of more active extension of the Air Corps Reserve is to be work cd out than has heretofore been pos sible in the Territory
 In this connection 1t is also re- called that the report of the Fed eral Aviation Commission then ex- pressed special eommendation of
 
 the experimental operations of the Army q2d Navy in Alaska,N and endorsed the recommendation of the Baker Board that military air operations m that Territory should be put on a year-round basis on a substantial scale as a means of training personnel to operate un- der Arctic conditions and of devel- oping specialized equipment neces- sary for such operation" It would seem that the intention of the Secretary of War in now facilitat- ing appointments of Alaska air pill ots to the Air Corps Reserve indi- cates that the Department is in ac- cord with and is developing the plan so far as the present limited appro- priations will permit. l8h

 The recent raising of the age limit from 30 to 35 years for applicants for appointment in the Air Corps Reserve has greatly increased the number of eligible air pilots in the Territory who may wish to secure dAi1l Niiio dkNAPii VI AitN Secretary of War which will permit a considerable standing membership of Army Air Corps Reserve officers in the Territory
 At the suggestion of Lieut. Allen Horning of Anchorage, one of the few pilots in Alaska holding q com mission in the Air Corps Reserve, the Delegate first took the subject up with Secretary Woodring nearly year ago. when it was brought to his attention that several air pilots there would probably qualify for appointment if 1t were not neees- sary for them to go to the States to take the examinations. and at that time MT Dimond suggested the plan of sending Air Corps of fieers to Alaska to conduct the nec- essary examinations there He has followed this up at intervals since and stressed the importance of hay- ing the Air Corps Reserve pilots in
