DEFERRED
ON 0NSL0W COURT
Corporal Johnson, of State
Patrol, Appeals for Estab-
lishment of Court

JACKSONVILLE, Feb. Z. - The
Onslow county board of commission
ers heard Corporal H. C. Johnson,
of the State highway patrol, appeal
for a recorders court at its meeting
this week but again deferred action.
Johnson pointed out that the state
had stationed five men at Holly
Ridge for the purpose of maintain
ing law and order in the county as
we'll as on the highway. He de-
clared that unless officers could get
the support of a strong recorders
court, their efforts would be futile,
and said that the appointment of
more justices of the peace, as sug-
gested by board members, would not
be a benefit, because a majority of
the cases handled by the patrol
arc outside a magistrates jurisdic-
ton. 80 D.
The commissioners, it was ex-
planned, have declined to establish
a recorders court because of fl
nances.
Again the. board went into the
matter of tax collections, and Wade
Everett, tax collector, was compli-
mented for his record of collections
last month. A tax-collecting board,
the commissioners have always
pushed the tax collectors, seeking
as near 100 per cent collections as
possible.

Ike White, Famous Criminal
Investigator, Seriously Ill

NEW YORK, Feb. = Up Ike
White, who has lived a saga dur
ing his years of hell-for-leather
racing against danger and dead
lines, is seriously ill of uremic
poisoning in Northwestern West
chester hospital.
White, now rs, was one of the

famous white, of the World's who
came to New York from Buffalo
at the age of 20 in 1885 and became
an almost legendary figure.
Some old-timers like to compare
him with Sherlock Holmes, saying
he was the closest thing to Holmes
that New York ever had. But pri-
marily he was a newspaper man.

Is Easy
Main Dish For
Company Dinner
EMILY CONKLIN

Part of the charm of hospitality,
like the charm of magic, lies in the
apparent ease with which the eff
feet is gained. Although guests are
fattered at the thought that their
hostess has taken special care to
please them, at the same time they
are troubled if she seems to have
made to great an effort. The clev-
er hostess, therefore, plans to
simplify her work as much as pos
sible SO that she can do it well
without hurry or anxiety.
Hospitality and good food are
closely allied. But to be both
hostess and cook calls for skill and
intelligent planning. Foods which
are easy to cook and r sure to be
good and to look as good as they
taste rank high as company fare,
and the wise hostess selects menus
which are based upon them.
A roast is always a good choice
as the main dish for a company
Lille IL lSlu11cS 41tt1S dLtCAAeAOAI
after it is placed in the oven, and
while it is roasting there is time
to prepare the other foods on the
menu. A roast of beef, pork, lamb
or veal is placed in a slow oven,
in an uncovered pan, with no water
added, according to present : day
methods. There is no need Of scar
ing or basting.
Thermometer for Accuracy
The most accurate way to judge
when the roast is done as you
want it is to use al roast meat
thermometer. An incision is made
and the thermometer is inserted
so that the bulb reaches the center
of the roast. Care should be taken
that the bulb does not rest on fat
or bone. When the thermometer
registers the right internal tenn
perature for the degree of doneness
you desire, take the roast from the
oven.
If you have no meat thermo-
meter, the number of minutes per
pound will be your guide.

MRS.. NIECE TALKS
ON MISSION WORK
Cows Most of Church Workers
In China Are Now Being
Evacuated to u. S.

Due to the occupation of parts Of
china by Japanese military forces
md the great change in conditions in
.aose areas, most of the missionaries
.,ere now are being evacuated to the
,-nited States, Mrs. John G. Meg.
tormer missionary for the Church of
rngland in China, told a large audi
ance in the parish house of St.
lanes church yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. MCGEE said that conditions
have changed greatly since the be-
oinning of the Japanese invasion in
fqs7 and that the missionaries and
,ro;r families were unable to move
eastward with the Chinese govern
ment.
In 1881 most of the missionaries
were ordered to come home, but a
40 iorjtv of them waived their rights
- eyacuate and remained at their
nosts, she said.
However, the Japanese occupation
hos made their work so dangerous, es-
,,ocia1y to women and children, that
,ho missionaries and the church au-
-hor;ties feel that the good they
nav accomplish would not compen-
.,te for the danger to which they
ore subjected, Mrs. MCGEE stated.
che stressed the Importance of
+be leadership Of the Christian mi
noritv in China and said that the
missionaries have helped create a
,~.tionsl unity among the Chinese
reople, The latter. she said, are much
more c~onciliatory to the japanese
than most people imagine.
She spoke on the great Influence
Of he soong family in China's ma
tionalistic sirit and also told Of the
blight of the British missionary work
in that country. Due to the fact that
the British have found it unable to
maintain their former stature of
missionary work, the Episcopal
church in the United States has
agreed to take an offering to help
carry on the work.
In connection with this, the Rev.
Mortimer Glover, rector of st. James
church, announced that an offering
for the cause will be taken at the
church on Sunday, Feb. %.
After the meeting a silver tea was
held by the St. James Woman's aux
iliary for the benefit of the mission
airy work, the offerings to be as a
memorial to Augusta Foster Lide,
first Christian missionary to China.

RALEIGH, Feb. 7-R- State
and legislative officials today Sc.
lected February 26 as the date on
which the Governor and the Cen
eral Assembly will journey to
Elizabeth City for one-day legisla-
tive session.
The session will be within a few
miles Of a lone weatherbeaten and
moss-stained monument at Halls
Creek, where, some historians say,
the first North Carolina general
assembly met 276 years ago.
William Drummond, first Gov
ernor of Carolina, convened the
assembly, and the first action of
the body was to petition the Lords
Proprietors to lower their quit
rents" to the same scale as that
paid by Virginians.
Old histories say that the Caro-.
linians were paying two farthings
Zone cent? a year an acre to the
proprietors. They wanted this cut
to one farthing.
The assembly met under a red
oak tree, which was blown down
score or more years age. Eliz-
abeth City folk say that one of
the first bylaws of the body was
that members should wear shoes,
if not stockings, during the meet
ing, and they must not throw
their chicken or other bones under
the tree"
George Catchmaid was the speak
of that body. The assemblymen
were not elected, but all freemen
could come to the meetings and
express their opinions.
