LOCKER PLANTS-There are
now in operation in this State II
quick freezing locker plants, and
three others will be established
before many days in New Bern,
Whiteville and Washington, N. G..
Much of the freezer locker bu-
siness in the Whiteville (popula-
ton around $4,000 area has been
going to Lumberton, which has
the oldest freezer locker plant in
North Carolina (Nov., 1889, but
some business men around the
town are going to put sudden
end to this situation.
It has been shown that any
town of at least 1000 folks suffi-
GENTLY wide awake can profitably
operate 200-locker freezing
plant. If you do not have one in
your locality, you should try to
get locker plant talk started, for
quick freezing will be THE thing
after the war. Corn on the cob
for Christmas dinner would not
be a bad item.
BIRD - Speaking of frozen
foods, it seems that a few years
ago fellow named Bird attempt
ed to interest some guy with quite
bit Of money to invest in frozen
foods. No, the fellow replied, he
had another proposition which
promised a bigger future for his
money. He then threw several
thousand dollars into the promo
ton of a red-white-and blue
toothpaste which some moron had
thought up. Well, you have like
ly never heard of this kind of
toothpaste, but Birds Eye Frosted
Foods did a multi-million dollar
business last year.
IREDELL-The Cherry forces
can't figure who is responsible,
but DR.. Ralph Mcdonald seems to
have Iredell County in the bag
lock, stock, and barrel. It seems
that this opposition to Cherry is
based on one or both of the follow
ing items-Horton Doughton is
about for DR.. Mcdonald and
Doughton is pretty powerful in
Statesville; the movement of the
highway shops from Statesville to
Shelby, which turned a lot of Ire

BOST - Tom Bost, veteran
North Carolina newspaperman,
remarked the other day that he
had voted about every way on this
liquor business and that it seems
to him that each vote has been
wrong. A lot of other folks feel
the same way about it.

JOYNER-Dr. J. Y. Joyner, 81
year-old patriarch of education in
North Carolina, has come out in
favor of Gregg Cherry for COVER
nor. Joyner was State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction un-
der Governor Charles B. Ga school
house on every hilD Aycock. Mr.
Joyner was superintendent from
1902 until 1919, and during those
years he followed closely Ay-
cocks advice to the effect that ev-
cry child in this State should have
an equal opportunity to burgeon
out all there is within him. JOY
ner did not forget Aycock last
year when he appeared before the
legislature and pleaded for ninth
month so that rural school chill
dren should have school term
equal to that of the city children.
Mr.. Joyner said he will support
Major Cherry for governor be-
cause, II believe him to be the
safest and best qualified candidate
for that responsible position"

One day when first came out here
young soldier stopped me on the
street and asked me to go to dinner
with him.
/ had date with an English peer
and was little excited about it
because he had been all through the
Mediterranean ighting. but the
soldier looked so disconsolate and
lonely that I decided / could keep
the Briton waiting half an hour and
it wouldn't kill me to eat two

Since that eventful evening I

military secret.
Cook at Officers Mess.
But Pvt. Roland Narducci Of San
Francisco doesn't have to camou-
flage his whereabouts. He's a cook
at an officers mess. and because
he's an extraordinarily good cook,
he prepared a luncheon for Presi-
dent Roosevelt when he visited this
base.
The Army was very particular
about this meal 'the Navy had been
providing the Presidents food and
there was considerable scurrying
around to see that nothing was left
undone to make it memorable.
l don't know how true this is.
but one OF my sources of informa-
ton told me that the committee in
charge of the luncheon had what
they call dry run" In other
words, the day before the President
was to eat at the officers mess. the
Identical food was prepared and
eaten by the committee.
Confident in His Ability.
But Pvt. Narducci wasn't worried
whether or not the President would
like the luncheon. No one has more
confidence in his cooking than Ro-
land himself. When 1 saw him. he
was beaming with satisfaction.
1T was swell" he said, simply
swell. The President said so. He
said 1t was the best food he'd had
on the trip. And this is what we
gave him.

President Roosevelt got a close look
at the realities OF war today-and

along an airstrip at Hickam Field

Mr.. Roosevelt and his party looked
on as litter-bearers carefully trans
ferred the 80 bandaged men from
the airplane to waiting ambulances.
Three of the filters came in close
to the Presidents car, and he
reached out to shake hands with
the veterans.
Mr. Roosevelt also visited the
huge Navy hospital at Aeia and the
Army's 147th General Hospital.
Most of the patients were wounded
at Saipan or In the Marshalls.
AS the President passed along
the wards he chatted with the men
and discussed the operations of the
hospitals with nurses and doctors.
The hospital visits were only a
