 Look at fhis! Suppose you had been able to start just ten years ago to put only S375 each week in United States Government Series E" Bonds.
 Today right nowl : your bonds would be worth S2, l63.45. A tidy sum!

Marines Eat
Deadly Snake

OKINAWA Delayed - Marines
are renowned for their intestinal
fortitude, but even their brand of
this hardy quality was severely
strained at an artillery camp here
according to Sgt. Keith Topping,
Marine Corps combat correspon-

The test came about when a six
foot "habu' dreaded, sudden-death
island Snake-waS killed in their
bivouac area. The reptile was put
on exhibition temporarily, but soon
group of the more reckless spir-
its conceived a more practical, If
fearsome, use for the killer.
Under the fascinated gaze of on
lockers a mess cook cut the snake
into neat "filets" and fried them
for dinner. The diners who were
served portions of the piece de re-
siStance" were the center of all
eyes as their more SqueamiSh COM
rades crowded about and groaned
in chorus as each mouthful was
chewed and swallowed.
A young Marine private began to
weaken under the strain, but with
great effort tossed off the last
bite and managed a wan smile.

LOndes Adds Semi.
Final Bout to
Program, June %

Nick Londes wouldn't think OF
gliding lily but he has no COM
junction to adding good semi
final bout to a boxing program that
has the whole town talking.
So the Olympia promoter an
nounced today that he has signed
Steve Riggio, of New York, to meet
Bill Grier, Detroit puncher, in the
eight round semi-final on the box
ing program he has scheduled for
the Olympia June %. In the main
bout of this program the sensa-
tional Detroit junior lightweight,
Leroy Willis, is scheduled to meet
his red hot local rival, Leon Spen-
Ger. They will box 10 rounds.
Although he has never appeared
in Detroit, Riggio is by far the
best fighter that Grier has met. He
is managed by Mike Capriano, the
little New Yorker, who made Jake
LaMotta the drawing card he is
today. Riggio holds two decisions
over Rocky Graziano, the nations
sixth ranking welterwieght, and he
boxed a torrid battle with Jimmy
McDaniels, the No. S weller.
Grier is a former Detroit Golden
Gloves star and is noted for his
ruggedness and punching ability.
In his last seven bouts he scored
five knockouts.
Londes has promised to match the
winner Of this bout with = Freddy
Cochrane, Harold Green or Johnny
Greco, so the battle should be as
good as the main event.

CLOSING OF FARM
LABOR POSTPONED

The contemplated closing of the
Castle Haynes farm labor cente,
has been indefinitely postponed, J.
b. Moore, of Raleigh, area re
preventative of the office of Labor
for the War Food Administration
said yesterday.
Possible closing of the camp was
discussed over the weekend but a
request by R. w. Galphin, New
Hanover County Farm Agent, was
instrumental in changing the views
OF the government agency.
Since the camp. constructed to
accommodate at least 300 inter-
state migratory farm workers, had
in the past weeks been housing as
few as 80 workers it had been
deemed advisable to suspend op-
GRAFTON. The government regula-
ton requires that a labor center
OF this type serve at least 100 work.
ers to be kept in operation.
An increase in the number of
workers served over the past week.
end led authorities to believe that
the camp could be kept in opera
ton. The continued need of farm
labor in this area, which includes
Castle Haynes, Wilmington, St. He
lena and Wrightsboro, as well as
the increasing influx Of workers
served to affect the change in
plans.
The Castle Haynes center was
originally opened by the Office of
Labor of the War Food Administra-
ton in 1912 as an aid to local
farmers. The camp in its present
condition can house as many as
300 migrant farm workers. Facili-
ties, however, can be expanded as
they were during the 1912 growing
season, when 500 workers were &C
commadated.
The camp is usually opened on
March u of each year and kept
in operation until July 1. 1t is re-
opened again September l and re-
mains open until October 81.
