AROUND
CAPITOL SQUARE
BY BOB THOMPSON
Daily Dispatch Bureau
In The Sir Walter Hotel-Raleigh

tNSVNG-Iherc are not many
people in the country today who
are making a greater patriotic sacri-
flee than the unSung and frequcnt-
ly criticised mlmbers of the local
rationing and draft boards. The
hard work they do for nothing while
suffer is one of the best evidences
of patriotism seen in the state to-
day. There have been some intima-
tons Of isolated instances Of favor
itism, but they are few and far be-
tween. On the whole these boards
have been Just as hard-DOiled with
their friends, who want tires or dc
ferment, as they have been with
everybody else.
1t is not generally known. but
many of the boards have be n
"cracking down on truckers and
passenger car operators whose driN-
ers have been wasting rubber by
~screeching around cornerS and skid
ding to sudden stops. One local
North Carolina board refused tire
to a trucking concern engaged in
var work for this reason. The opera
tor clustered and threatened to take
it to Washington but the board
proved adamant and held its posi-
ton that the only way the company
could get any rubber was to stop
wasting that which il had.
Some r%ationing board members are
now devoting as much as SIX to eight
hours a day to the work. The volume
will increase in a few weeks but by
that time the OPA expects TO have
furnished the boards with more paid
help. -
EDITIONS-Scnool book publish
ers are leaning more and more to
special editions when they go after
the North Carolina business. One
of the books adopted by the State this
week was called a especial edition"
though the only difference betWe en-
it and the Company's regular edl-
ton Of the same book WaS a oil
terent colored cover and the eljmin-
alton of a few pictures toward the
front.
The reason for the special edition
plan is that most Of the states, IN
buying a book, write into the con-
tract that if the same book is sold
to another state at a lower price. the
first state to buy Will have its con
tract price reduced TO the same level
But as North Carolina distributes its
own books, and therefore the over
head to the companies is slbStan-
TALLY reduced, the publishers can
accord to g-ll TO this State at a
lower price than to most of the
others, Many of thcm, therefore,
change their books Just enough to
call them especial editions" and
offer them here cheaper than else
where. -
VACATION-1 aro,e Commissions
or Edwin Gill, who becomes commits
sioner of cVenue on July |, is leav-
ing today for a ten days vacation. He
wants to rest up h fore taCSling the
reorganization of the sCandal-sCramb-
led chaos across the square. He also,
""tbably, wants to avoid Job hunt
ers.
.Ireadv there have been four or
five candidates for the Job Of assist
mt commissioner, vacated by Bill
Spain who s-rVcd as MaNWcll's per-
'onnel man for almost six years. ItS
a $4,000 job.) Gill hopes to an
nounce his assistant by July | but he
doesn't want to go into the matter
until he has had time to catch his
breath.

A popular Minneapolis gal told me
confdentially the other day, that
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1942-09-25

M. C. H.: Ny husband and are
separated. I am going with a young
boy and I love him very much. We
are planning to keep house. He is
carefree, and I wonder if I should
take this step. I have two children
to consider as we'll as myself:
Ans: If you want to consider
your children, avoid bringing them
up in the atmosphere of discord
and friction that living with this
man would mean. You have your
doubts about this man and you
must admit it. He hasn't led you
to believe that he is going to marry
you. You are just taking it for
granted. You should be searching
for father for these children, not
a play-bOy to lead you a wild goose
chase.
J. R.: My boy friend and I are
just song and dance. He is words
to my music. When he's around,
my heart plays sweet love songs all
day long. But he is just not around
enough. He tells me he loves me
but sometimes think he is full of
stuff. Have I reasons to doubt
him?
Ans: You've guessed it. You
may be a song and dance, but he's
strictly 1--WE while you are on the
old waltz time. The nights you in
PERMISSION at home alone he is out
shuffling around with some other
gal. He loves you when he is with
you but when he leaves you,
his heart goes out the door too
Better not get too serious about
this hep-cat, for he is only out fol
a trucking good time.
P. S.: I have tried my husband
out thoroughly and I can't see
where he means me any good al
all. Is his mind good or have his
brains cracked? Will it pay me tt
go north and leave things as they
are?
Ans: He isn't cracked-braine6
lust buIl-headed. And so are
you. You have both been too de-
termined to have your own way
and that is the cause of all the fric.
ton in your home. There comes a
time in everyOne's life when hi
must give in to the other party
but you two have never learned
this. Your husband is in service
and you are showing mighty poor
craftsmanship to continue this
wrangling about nothing. Write
him kind letter and try to cheer
him up rather than keep him up
set. You have a mighty good jOI
right where you are and 1 wOuIt

suggest that you hold to it for the
time being.
R. C. M: I read your column
regularly and it has proved very
helpful to me on many occasions,
The company I am associated with
at the present time is opening a
branch office 500 miles away from
here. The officials have asked that
I go down and take charge of this
office. The change appeals to me
but I am doubtful as to whether
it would be the thing to do or not.
Ans: From all indications, it
appears that this is your big
chance you have been waiting for.
1t is an honor for you that the Off
Gals feel you are qualified to as
sumo the responsibility of running
this office. Your salary won't be
increased Immediately but you
have every reason to believe that
they will show you every cOnsid-
Grafton that is due you after the
office is on a paying basis. I also
feel that a new environment is what
you need in your personal life.
]. CT am 20 years old and ex-
pect to be indicted in the services
soon. I've had a good paying job
ever since I was Is. Several
months ago I met a swell girl of
20 and fell head over heels in love
with her. She promises to follow
me while T am in service and
wonder if I should marry her be-
fore I leave or wait until I come
back. Is she true?
Ans: Don't marry until you
come back. 1t would be foolish to
expect this woman to follow you
from place to place while you are
in service. In your present state
of infatuatiOn, it would be need
less to tell you she is far too old fol
you. But after you get away and
make new friends, you will realize
this for yourself. You are toe
young to tie yourself down to any
woman either married or en-
gagged.
R. F.: I have had two years Of
college and I now feel that have
received the call to preach. My
parents think that I should enter a
Theological school this fall. Is
this advisable?
Ans: By all means. In this
school your parents have in mind
you would get adequate training
for the Ministry. 1t is well thai
you have at last made up you
mind what profession you wish tt
follow so you can begin preparing
yourself while you are still very
young.
